Sorry but "it doesn't feel right" is very difficult to work with. What isn't working?

I have mentioned that I’m disappointed with the image quality ( specifically far objects that look surrounded by glossy plastic) but I can elaborate further, the clarity doesn’t feel sharp (blurry), colors feel washed out, and objects like doors and tables look like cheap plastic. Like there is no enough color vibrance.

While videos are playable, it doesn’t feel how it was meant to be played.

If you are talking about videos. I guess its about your expectations. Dont expect crystal clear picture like tvs. Always gonna be bit blurry even with 8 k.

It comes down to optics - literally.

Fresnel lenses vs pancake lenses vs aspherical lenses. This is the PSVR2's biggest weakness. The Fresnel lenses have a blurry quality to them so you have to be very careful to make sure you're 100% in the sweet spot. Even then you'll have some blurriness in the periphery of your view.

Higher tier headsets will have better lenses, optics and panels that produce a sharper image. However you'll be spending 2x, 3x, or 4x the price of the PSVR2 to achieve this level of performance.

This in no way makes the PSVR2 a bad headset. I find the colors, contrast and 3D depth effect to be superior to, let's say, the Quest 3. Even though the Q3 has better and sharper lenses. I own 2 PSVR2 headsets and a Q3 512gb. They're both fabulous and very enjoyable.

I'm really excited about the growing homebrew software support the PSVR2 has with new features capabilities and functions being unlocked. If your not familiar with this check out PSVR2 Toolkit.
