I use a STEELSERIES Arctis Nova 1P 7.1 Gaming Headset costing me just £40 last year. I plug them in to a controller which sits in a cradle on my rig, to the left of my wheel. So no charging, no batteries, no delay, very light, fit perfectly over the PSVR2, and they sound great. What's not to like!
What cradle? I've been looking for one that can attach to a 8020 rig.

So, since these plug in the pad/controller, I can carry the controller around and be kinda' wireless with this headset? Got a set in my Amazon cart right now.

Actually it just dawned on my that I have 3d Sony headphones but when plugged into the VR they only do 2D.

Duh, all I need to do is plug them a controller and I’ll have 3D again. Forgot about that.

To the left of my wheelbase is a clear PS5 controller holder (shown below) that can be bolted directly to the rig’s frame if you open up the screw-holes and use the correct bolts for the captive nuts. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08Y55NCWW?tag=gtplanetuk-21

The controller stays connected to the power lead most of the time, but it can be lifted off the cradle with ease. Every now and then the sound is missing when I start the PS5 from sleep, but a restart and selection of the hand controller (before then selecting the wheel) fixes that issue.

Also in the picture is a clear PSVR2holder ( https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404215837871 ) that clips directly on
top of the PS5, which in turn stands on the floor. This keeps the PSVR2 away from trouble and prevents dust getting on the lenses.

Yep, although I only use my PS5 for GT7 whilst sitting in my rig ...until MSG Delta is released.

As far as I know, the 3D sound results from some very clever tech that only needs a stereo signal (google it), so headphones that have been optimised for 3D sound should work as intended when plugged into any sound jack, including the one on the PSVR2.
