The Best PlayStation Portal Accessories

With no Bluetooth option on the PlayStation Portal, you’ll need to use one of the few wireless audio options for immersive sound: the Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds. While not exactly a headset, these earbuds deliver big sound and Spatial Audio, and the included 2.4GHz wireless dongle means you can pair them with your PS5 and PC. Heck, you can even take calls so you don’t have to cut off your gaming session midway through an epic battle or adventure.

Using planar magnetic drives, these earbuds are known for their extreme level of detail and clarity. Yes, they're a little pricey and a little bulky, but the level of immersion is hard to beat. Fine tune them with the right amount of bass, and you have yourself an exceptional pair of earbuds.

Although some gamers only want to focus on the game at hand, others prefer a more sociable experience. The good news is that these earbuds tick the boxes on that front too. Thanks to Multipoint, the Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds can simultaneously connect to multiple devices. So you can play a game on your PlayStation Portal while chatting to your friends in a PlayStation party chat, and answer a call (as mentioned earlier), without disrupting your connection. What’s more, Sony’s AI-enhanced noise rejection works really well. It cleverly ignores sounds that aren’t voices, so you won’t cause your friends a headache when you’re munching on snacks.

If you plan to take your PSP with you on your travels or just want a safe place to store the remote player when you're not using it, grabbing a great PlayStation Portal case is your best bet. Our favorite option is from Orzly. It’s designed specifically for the Portal, offering a matching black-and-white colorway (or a few other colors for a flashier look).

The Orzly case is molded to fit the dimensions of the PlayStation Portal like a glove and has a soft inner lining, keeping it snug, secure, and safe from accidental presses of the controls. Aiding in protection is a microfiber tongue with a velcro tab to hold the device firmly in place, which is especially important in preventing scratches, smudges, and cracks to the 8-inch LCD screen. There’s even a small zippered compartment to hold charging cables, a power bank, and just a little more.

Beyond the impressive interior, the outer layer of the Orzly is made of durable Ethylene-vinyl acetate for some water resistance and easy cleaning. Of course, that hard shell is also great for protecting against drops, bumps, and dust, ensuring the Portal remains in pristine condition. Designed with a comfortable rubberized handle the device is super easy to carry around, while dual metallic zips are easy to glide and hold everything securely inside. Plus, this case will be around for the long haul with a solid one-year warranty.

The Turtle Beach Battle Buds boast crystal clear chat with two microphones: a removable high-sensitivity mic and built-in inline mic for on-the-go use. It might sound odd, but having different microphones like this means you’ll have high-end sound regardless of your surroundings. Equipped with high-quality 10mm speakers, the Turtle Beach Battle Buds deliver crisp highs and rumbly lows for immersive gaming and movie experiences. Outside of the PlayStation Portal, the Battle Buds are versatile, and you can use them with other consoles and PC.

Additionally, the multifunction inline controller provides easy access to master volume control, mic mute, and other functions on supported devices. For comfortability, the Battle Buds come with three interchangeable ear-tips and stabilizers.

The iVoler Screen Protector is a fantastic accessory for anyone looking to keep their PlayStation Portal in pristine condition. Specifically designed for the PlayStation Portal, this screen protector is crafted to fit perfectly, providing excellent coverage and protection.

One of the reasons we love the Ivoler screen protector is its 9H hardness rating. This means it’s incredibly tough and capable of resisting scratches from everyday hazards like keys, coins, or other objects that might find their way into your bag or pocket. This level of protection is essential for keeping your screen free from scratches, which can easily accumulate over time and diminish your gaming experience.

Despite its toughness, the Ivoler screen protector doesn’t compromise on clarity or touch sensitivity. With 99.99% HD clarity, it ensures that your games and videos look as vibrant and sharp, so you can enjoy all the visual details without any distortion. The preserved touch sensitivity means that your PlayStation Portal will respond just as smoothly to your touch as it did without the protector.

The Ivoler protector comes with everything you need for an easy install, including dry and wet wipes and an installation guide that makes the process simple. With two protectors in the pack, you even have a backup ready for the future or another device.

On average, the PlayStation Portal gets around seven to nine hours of battery life, and rather than including a full charger in the box, the device only comes with a USB-C cable. So if you want a charging station, you’re going to have to find a dedicated device, like this one from FYoung. There are dozens of PlayStation Portal docks on Amazon, but this one is the most reviewed at the time of writing, so it’s your best bet – at least until Sony releases its own.

Outside of charging the handheld to full in about 3.5 hours, this charging dock features RGB lighting, which you can customize with 14 vibrant colors to match your personal style. Whether cycling through rainbow hues or selecting a specific color through a LED button switch, this dock adds visual flair to your setup without distracting attention during gameplay.
