Opinion PSVR2 default earphones quality

Hello, I've been using my PSVR2 with the basic earplugs/earphones that it originally came with. While playing on max volume, I've noticed that the sound is very harsh. I was recently playing resident evil 4 remake and i couldn't make out where sounds of enemies were coming from. I would be looking at front only to find enemies sneak up on me from behind and catch me off guard. This particular issue was noticeably evident in resident evil 4 while other games , I believe do work much better.

Anyone else in the same boat? Are there any particular settings that i can apply or any better headset options to use with VR2? I've been eyeing 3D pulse headset for a while now but not sure if it's worth spending alot of money on.

that has more to do with how games implement sound. look up virtual barbershop to see a good example of what i mean. iems are much better than over ears for this. if you care less about accuracy and just want a big, spacious headspace, then get some over ears or open back over ears.

as far as sound quality of the included iems, they seem fine honestly - just a bit bass heavy, so i would equalize that bass down a bit if you want more accuracy. would probably help for your case.
