SteelSeries Arctis Pro

Pleasant sound for audiophiles Excellent sound quality Dedicated DAC Not suitable for large living room setups The SteelSeries Arctis Pro is one of the best headphones you can buy.

The GameDAC model features an external box with premium high-resolution audio converters.

PlayStation camera

Protect your PS4 for the future and have more fun with it Worth buying for PSVR Useful for live broadcasters The selection of compatible games is limited. Unlike the Kinect on Xbox One, Sony's PlayStation Camera has never been a major focus on the PS4 platform.

There are other uses for the PlayStation Camera, too: you can use it while streaming gameplay live on Twitch, for example, so your viewers can see your face. However, there are fewer and fewer games that use the PlayStation camera, unless you're a huge Just Dance 2019 fan.
