Title: Exactly what I wanted
Review: I like the PSVR, but I also love cleaning up after usage. Meaning, I don't ever leave my HMU out. So every time I want to play I have to plug in the two cables for the HMU, connect headphones, put on the headset, put on the headphones, and spend a lot of time redjusting both until they feel comfortable. Done playing? Great, now I have to take off the headphones, put them and it's cable away, put away the HMU. It just becomes enough of a hassle that, subconsciously I stopped playing PSVR games as much as I used to. Didn't stop buying new games...but just never took the time to play them.Well these headphones helped change that, and made the effort to break out the PSVR experience just one step easier, and better!After trying my friend's Valve Index HMU, one thing I really liked was the speakers that hang down (off-ear headphones), so I went looking for something I could add to my PSVR and not have to have either 1) Over the ear hadphones (always a small nuisance to get on and off over the HMU) 2) the supplied ear buds as those aren't really sanitary to share with others, and, frankly uncomfortable.First off: These will never sound better than over the ear headphones. They let surrounding sound in. BUT, they still sound better (to me) than ear buds, thanks to their larger sized driver. They can push a lot of volume, and will help you still feel immersive. But if your kids or significant other (or pets) need you for something? They can actually talk to you, and you'll hear them, rather than them suddenly tapping you and scaring you half to death at the sneaky ninja-attack that just took place. I actually consider this a plus for me. Do they have a lot of bass? No, they do not, but the audio quality is still really clear, and, again, doesn't break immersion.They are comfortable. I have a friend that is absolutely opposed to on-ear headphones. I don't blame him, it feels like someone is constantly pressing on your ears. I share his sentiment, but until him, I never thought about on-ear headphones and why I tend to avoid them. Unlike the Valve Index's off-hear headphones, these do TOUCH your ears. When I showed him these, he was immediately turned off on the idea of them knowing that they will touch your ears. I can report, that unlike on-ear headphones, they do not PRESS against your hears. And, upon reflection, I'd say that's really the big issue with on-ear headphones: the constant pressure against your ears. Probably a big no-no for people who's ears stick out some. These sit very comfortably against your ears.The material they are made from is a faux rubber. Very soft. I can see these being an issue in the future, though, in regards to their longevity. Seems like the same type of material that cracks easily with age and just rips apart quickly. We'll see, though.Cabling, though, is somewhat of an issue, though I wouldn't blame these headphones, necessarily. They're made for both V1 & V2 PSVR headsets. I have a V2, so I bundled the excess cabling together with and using a velcro strap, bound it to the PSVR cable, so I only have to feel the weight of one cable. I then pushed the cable into the groove between the back plastic and padding on the bottom side, and used a little electrical tape to secure it. Not pretty (not hideous, though). It is the bottom side, and no one will see it. I left a little slack on each side for both headphones, so they could be adjusted by the wearer. Securing the cable to the back made it so it didn't dangle down the bottom, and made it MUCH easier to get the headset on and off easily, without having to makes sure the cable was in the right spot.THE WORST THING about these headphones is that, without taking them off, I can no longer use the awesome portable headset case I own. So I bought a stand, and will probably make a dust cover to keep the thing protected. OH WELL, small penance to having a better headset experience.I'd highly recommend other PSVR users to get these, when they're in stock. They should have been standard, in my opinion, and we'll see, I suppose, what the new PSVR (that's rumored to be out near PS5's launch) will do for standard audio options.

Title: Comfort IS Important. Excellent product.
Review: Let's be honest, these should already be included with the psvr helmet because it's obvious that once attached they feel absolutely spot on aesthetically and sonically. They are easy to attach with the side clips and the sound from them is again, spot on.I like the fact that I can still here sounds from the real world and to be honest when I try headphones with the helmet It can feel a bit too closed inand tight on your head, and heavy. These just feel right and whilst they make putting the psvr headset on a little bit more fiddly, once on everything feels comfortable and the way the Mantis is designed let's you have full control of were you put the sound... you can tweak the earphones to perfection to find the sweet spot and its not difficult you grab the earphone and physically tweak it till it sounds its best... takes about 2 seconds to adjust.Headphones are the answer if you want total immersion and mega bass but for me this is too full on and makes the helmet feel clamped to you're head, so this is the perfect solution if you can take a slight drop in immersion. The Bionik Mantis also doesn't impede on what I would say is the main selling point of the psvr... comfort.Everything still feels extremely comfortable when your set up correctly, and for me at least I think having the sound really close to the ear compared to using the tv sound helps enormously with motion sickness. I get motion sickness on Eve Valkyrie really bad, but only when I have either headphones or earplugs on... when I attach the Mantis its not half as bad. That might just be me but the Mantis definitely works on certain games.The only slight negatives are like I said before, it makes putting the headset on a bit fiddly (you have to hold wires off whilst you put the psvr on) and it does add a bit more weight to the front of the helmet, not much... only slightly noticeable. Everything else though is brilliant and they look right at home attached to the psvr headset. Highly recommended.

Review: These clip on headphones are absolutely perfect for the PSVR model 1 that lacks integrated earbuds. Clip them on near the front of the headset, guide the cables over the rest of the band and out of the way, and it's as if they're not even there.There is no added pressure on the ears and no risk of accidentally losing an earbud or moving the entire headphones and thereby moving the VR headset accidentally.Sound quality is excellent and because they don't fully cover the ears, they still allow for some outside sound to pass through if the VR is set to a lower volume which helps when people want to get your attention.I wish I had bought these earlier.

Review: update: in order to fit on an Oculus Quest 2 elite strap you have pull the clip out of the springs a bit further then the clip will go, don't worry if you are careful it doesn't break the clip or at least I didn't (twice), then once the clip is clip over the elite strap push the clip back into the clip/spring holder and it will hold. I have been using my first pair of bionik with my Oculus Quest 2 for several months now and they are fantastic in terms of sound. Good enough for movie immersions, game playing and the fact is that you don't feel like you are enclosed into a pair of headphones. The Bionik looks better than the other cheap VR headphones and probably sounds better. I bought another pair because my Sony VR needs one too since I am using it for the Oculus. I have up the 4 star rating to 5 stars now because it works on the Oculus Quest.Old Review: I have the new VR headset where the headphone jack is on the VR headset itself and thus the wire length for the bionic is way too long. I did wrap up the wires but there are now wires where none use to be. To put on the VR headset you have to grab all the wires along with the VR headband to wiggle your head in between the mess. I tried wrapping the wires up alongside the VR headband but because of the expanding headset band we cannot simply tie the wires to the headset. I was really doubtful on the quality of these headphones but since we are just playing VR games the sound quality turn out quite nice . It rested on my ears without making me feel like I was wearing a headphone and the sound quality was good enough to make my game immersive. I like the fact that I can just push the headphones up without feeling like I am removing my headphones entirely or popping out my ear phones and having them dangle beneath my ear. I would have given this headphone a 5 star if the wires weren't so cumbersome; remember that with the Version 2 VR headset the earplugs are nice and tidy on the headset already, so adding this headset is almost a step backwards in terms of tidiness. Although the headphones function well, I am not a fan of the rabbit ears but it probably has to be this way if we wanted the ability to push up the headphones. Very nice addition to your PS VR gear.
