The controller that COMPLETES the VR experience!!

Wow, what an experience with a 3 hour binge! The railgun perfectly complements the VR. The best part about the railgun is that it is a full, real rechargeable controller. It's not a hollow tube you stuff a motion controller into. It's the real deal! Moving the gun in your hands to get a look at it or firing the triggers perfectly mimics your actual movements. Farpoint is also a perfect game to test spacial sound. Raising you gun above your head and fire some rounds. Take it to the floor and blow out some lead. The sound perfectly matches the distance where the gun really is located in reference to your ears. Very impressed with the PSVR Aim Controller!!

I'm not sure if a PSVR and a regular PS4 will have this problem. If you use this in wireless mode with USB dongle for full 3D audio on regular games like Uncharted 4 (4 or 5 titles only so far) this works fine. If you use the USB dongle and connect the 3.55mm to your PSVR to achieve up to 7.1 audio this works fine. If you want full 3D audio for your PSVR and use the USB Cable plus the 3.55mm cable THIS DOES NOT work fine. As per Sony's full manual online - to achieve full 3D audio for the PSVR you must not use wireless and only plug directly by using the USB cable and the 3.55 plug. Once this has been done you will get a feedback/buzzing sound from the headset. I tried this for a few hours of testing. I have tried this with other cables. A USB extension cable will make the sound worse depending on the brand of extension cable. The USB connection is the problem here. An easy way to test it is to have everything plugged in and then lower the sound to 0 on your VR headset. You'll still get the buzz. Unplug the USB and problem solved. Regular earbuds and other wired headsets work fine but once you connect the USB to this headset you will get the buzzing sound. You can bypass the problem by purchasing a sound isolator for about 10 bucks and it will fix your problem but the sound is too low afterwards. I'm very curious if the Sony Gold's also have this problem. You are far better off paying nearly half the price and getting a Turtle Beach or Plantronics VR headset. I am returning this unit and I have purchased the Turtle Beach 350 VR. As of 2/21/17 this is the best unit that has it's own power. The unit is wired but also comes with its own internal rechargeable battery to give you all the power. It does not have to draw power from the PS4 Pro unit like the Platinum does so you will not be connecting it via USB which will cause the buzzing.

Maintain optimum oral health with the Sonicare Airfloss Pro. This electric flosser cleans between teeth by using a jet of compressed air combined with water or mouthwash. Customize the device's spray pattern with the single-, double- or triple-burst settings during the 60-second programmed routine. Replace the Sonicare Airfloss Pro's nozzle tips every six months to ensure proper functioning.

As Dontana recently stated, the AirFloss Ultra is a very broken product. I have a lot more experience than most with this Sonicare Product. I've had 3 of them and they were all different product numbers. The largest failure rate was the internal pump. It will go bad after time. As someone else stated "banging the bottom of it on a flat surface" may be a workaround (and a sad workaround at that) if you're lucky but it will fail eventually. If you dig and do research you will see there are numerous versions of this second generation Airfloss product. It has a lot of problems. The first one I had lasted about 4 months. The "bang workaround" worked once or twice before it died. While using it if the pump skips a moment while in use this is a telltale sign that it will likely go out. Once it is completely dead you'll press the button to start it up and hear the tiny ring sound but nothing will pump. My second pump lasted about 9 months. The pump died in it too but before it broke a tiny IMPORTANT piece fell off of it and I had to keep reattaching it to keep using it. I didn't want to take it in right away because at least the pump was working....until it wasn't. This important piece that fell off was a very cheap design. Notice that small band of silver that attaches the air floss hose to the unit itself? It isn't glued or permanently in place. It can pop off. It's a cheap plastic ring that is used as the adapter between the body of the flosser and your floss head. A lot of people may not even experience the problem because they don't remove it often (keeping your floss head clean will avoid nastiness). I remove it so that it can properly be hit with a UV light kit I have from my Sonicare toothbrush set. After enough time taking it on and off the unit.....pop goes your ring. Hope it doesn't fall down the drain! The third and final unit only lasted two months. The same problem with the pump. All 3 units were completely different versions. Also, as a test, I only used the Sonicare mouthwash product that came with it for the third unit. I wanted to be sure it wasn't an issue with using other mouthwash products or that it didn't like the quality of my water. It still failed. Another note for all users of this product. Look inside the unit where you pour your mouthwash/water. Look down at the bottom of the chamber and you'll see a hole where the liquid flows into the Airfloss. Depending on what your using (water, mouthwash) you may also see stuff that hasn't cleared out and may have set in your unit making it a little unsanitary. It's good to check it to ensure it is clean periodically. My recommendation is to stay away from this product and go back to the original Airfloss. They actually sell for more on the web because they work and are hard to come by. If Airfloss version 3.0 ever comes out it may be worthwhile to check it out again. If you do purchase the Airfloss Ultra then buy the Best Buy 2 year warranty. You MUST buy it! The nice thing about their policy is that you can bring in your dead unit and pick up the newest version right off the shelf but you'll have to pay the difference if it is higher than your previous one. Also, if you return it you do not have to use the refunded money on another Airfloss Ultra. You can use it on another product if you want to which is what I did and purchased a Waterpik Wireless unit. I'm not promoting Waterpik in any way. They have their own problems with wireless as where you plug the unit in will always get water into it when you use it wirelessly and eventually build corrosion in it until the plug can no longer generate a charge. Here's hoping it at least lasts the two year warranty! :)

CORRECTION!
February 22, 2017
Best Buy will not let me edit a review once it has been submitted. I solved the problem. The Sony document should have been a little clearer about this but to achieve full 3D audio PSVR you only have to have the 35mm plugged in. Remove the USB cable and make sure your USB dongle is pulled out so it's not submitting wireless. The Turtle Beach 350 VR nicely posted the USB problem in their retail doc to not to also connect the USB cable with the 35mm because it can cause noise.

So is it that the aim controller is actually the white gun-looking peripheral plus an actual AIM controller... Or is it just a peripheral where you have to own an AIM controller to put in (like the old ps3 version)?
It is a full, real rechargeable controller. This is not a hollow railgun you stick a motion controller into. The "ball" (move controller) part of the gun is built into the gun. It is all one solid piece.
