In terms of visual fidelity, the Quest 2 is one of the best headsets on the market. Visuals: Visuals are one of the most important things when it comes to VR, as it impacts your immersion more than other senses. The most ‘bang for your buck’ headset and my first recommendation for beginners new to VR. If you don’t have at least an i7 processor and RTX 2070 graphics card, then I recommend you go with the Quest 2 instead. Otherwise go for the Pimax 8K X – it’s the most immersive headset all around.

In short: 128 GB should be more than enough for most people.īest High-end option: Want wireless capabilities? Get the HTC Vive Pro 2.

The comfort mods should cost you ~$30-$70.Īnd if you’re deciding between whether to get the 128 GB version or the 256 GB version, I explain which one is best for you here. I highly recommend the comfort mods, but you can just order the headset first and see how it feels (if you don’t mind waiting for the comfort mods). Make sure you also buy at least 2 comfort mods for best experience, as the headset itself is quite uncomfortable (although some people don’t mind). For Oculus Link, you’ll need a cable that costs upwards from $20 up to $80. Since the Quest 2 is a standalone headset (meaning you don’t need a PC to play it), in order to play Steam games, you’ll either need Air Link (which streams your desktop to your Quest and lets you play games wirelessly) OR you’ll need an Oculus Link cable which connects your headset into your PC – basically turning it into a PC VR headset like the other ones mentioned here.īoth options are really good, but with Air Link you’ll need a 5G router that’s within 10 meters of your play space (ideally 5m). It’s compatible with SteamVR and you can play every Steam game on there, but you have to understand a few things: However, most people should be able to afford the Quest 2:
These headsets a bit hard to find nowadays because they’re always sold out, but if you can find one, try and grab it.

The Windows Mixed Reality ones have different names, but the ones you wanna look for are: HP Reverb, Lenovo Explorer and Samsung Odyssey+ (which is more expensive, but an upgrade from the others). If you’re on an ultra tight budget: Try looking for a cheap Oculus 1, Oculus Rift or Windows Mixed Reality headset that’s on sale or in used condition.

Supports full body tracking for games like VRChat. Also supports full body tracking for games like VRChat.
It is a slight improvement to the Valve Index in visual fidelity, but has very poor audio and mic quality. HTC Vive Pro 2: Very expensive, ultra high resolution and has wireless capabilities if you buy their adapter (costs around $500). Requires an ultra powerful computer to run (on high settings). Also it’s microphone and audio quality is better than other headsets. Valve Index: Expensive, high resolution, great comfort, high field of view, and refresh rate. This one’s primarily good if you plan on watching movies in VR for it’s incredible resolution, but an okay option for SteamVR. Headset also heats up easily unlike the others. HP Reverb G2: Mid-range, very high resolution, but has some minor but noticeable tracking issues. Again, we only recommend this if you’re on a tight budget and can find a used one for sale. Oculus Rift S: Cheap, bad resolution, comfortable. It’s quite uncomfortable unless you buy some comfort mods (highly recommended) and has passable audio. Oculus (Meta) Quest 2: Cheap, high resolution and wireless. It’s basically the Quest 2, but much lower resolution, less powerful hardware specs, lower refresh rate and gets fewer updates. Oculus Quest 1: Very cheap, but we only recommend this if you’re on a super tight budget and can find a used one for sale. Windows Mixed Reality: Very cheap, bad resolution, quite uncomfortable.

It’s constantly getting improved with each update (which happens faster than any other headset), and it’s the most ‘bang for your buck’ in terms of features.ĭon’t let the price fool you though – it’s not far off from the thousand dollar headsets! Brief Summary of Each Headset:
It’s cheap and affordable to most people. I REALLY recommend getting the Oculus Quest 2 (now called Meta Quest 2) especially if you’re a beginner to VR.
