He started the Amherst Student's first technology column, worked in IT support for many (many) years, and eventually moved to Brooklyn to cover New York's tech scene in 2009. After several years at VentureBeat, where he reviewed gadgets, covered countless early startups and led East Coast coverage, he joined Engadget to focus on consumer technology in 2014. Devindra focuses PC and gaming hardware -- including laptops, video cards and consoles -- home entertainment, and anything he finds particularly cool. He also launched, and currently co-hosts, the latest iteration of the Engadget Podcast. He holds no awards, but M. Night Shyamalan once played with his iPhone. When he's not diving into tech, he's probably at the movies, binging TV, or podcasting about why The Fast and Furious is the definitive franchise of our time.","isCreator":false,"providerBrands":[],"id":"fd5641c0-dc5c-11e7-a35f-62ce0d74435b","url":{"external":false,"link":"https://www.engadget.com/about/editors/devindra-hardawar/"},"logo":{"size":{"original":{"width":500,"height":500,"url":"https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/7bf86900-aa5a-11ee-af37-00cf16fbdc05"},"resized":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/pm9NNYx6s2hTLTQZ6v82Dw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTgwO2g9ODA-/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2024-01/7bf86900-aa5a-11ee-af37-00cf16fbdc05","width":40,"height":40}}},"social":{"twitter":"devindra"}}],"canonicalSite":"engadget","canonicalUrl":"https://www.engadget.com/ar-vr/best-vr-headsets-140012529.html","categoryLabel":"Technology","challengeTags":[],"commentsAllowed":true,"commentsCount":0,"commerceArticleType":"bestList","commerceExtractedKeywords":["meta quest 3","apple vision pro","meta quest 3s","playstation vr 2","valve index vr kit","bigscreen beyond","meta quest 2","meta quest 3s","apple vision pro"],"contentMeta":{"adPostions":{"photos":{}},"bodySlots":{"commerceQuickOverviewSlot":{"id":"caas-commerce-quick-overview","insertIndex":1}},"cover":null,"embeds":null,"hasEmbedAtBeginning":false,"hasEmbedAtEnd":false,"hasYahooVideo":false,"isLongArticle":false,"potentialSlots":0,"outstreamAdPosition":-1,"readMorePosition":-1,"totalParagraphs":0,"contentI13n":{}},"contentType":"story","description":"If you've been intrigued by virtual reality for a while, there are a number of solid headsets to consider.

ever wanted to dive into a whole new world without leaving your living room, a VR headset could be your next big investment. These headsets aren’t just for gaming — although VR gaming is a blast. They can also transport you to virtual worlds for exploring impressive environments, immersive workouts or even social gatherings. Whether you’re craving an intense fitness session or a relaxing virtual tour through a museum, VR opens up possibilities that go way beyond traditional screens.<br><br>There are plenty of options out there, so you don’t have to break the bank. Affordable standalone headsets like the Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest 3S offer great visuals without needing any extra gear — you can just put them on and go. But if you’re ready to splurge, the Apple Vision Pro brings an ultra-premium experience with top-notch visuals and high-end features, though it does come with a hefty price tag.<br><br>From standalone devices that let you wander freely to head-mounted displays (HMDs) that connect to laptops or PCs with a link cable for enhanced performance, there’s a VR headset for everyone. Many models include features like a comfortable head strap for longer sessions, Wi-Fi connectivity for smooth streaming, and portability that lets you explore without limits. So whether you’re just dipping your toes into VR or looking for a top-tier setup, there’s a headset out there to match your needs.</p><div class=commerce-rmp><div class="commerce quick-overview

judge VR headsets on a few basic criteria: Ergonomics, immersion and controls. It's not that hard to shove a mobile display into a plastic headset and strap some cheap elastic headbands onto it. But it takes skill to craft something that's well balanced and doesn't feel uncomfortable after 30 minutes.</p><div></div><p>My test for ergonomics is fairly simple: How long can I wear a headset until I start to feel discomfort? For the most ergonomic devices, like the Quest 3, that could easily be an hour or two. But heavier PC hardware often feels cumbersome after just 15 minutes — you won’t find headsets guilty of that in this guide.</p><p>Immersion, meanwhile, comes from having high resolution screens with fast refresh rates, so everything looks sharp and smooth. Field of view is also a major element, as it describes how well VR screens can cover what you see. Having a narrow field of view makes it feel like you’re looking through a pair of binoculars, and limits your sense of “presence,” or the idea that you’re actually transported to a virtual world.</p><p>A wide field of view, on the other hand, can make it seem like you’re actually flying over the globe in Google Earth. We look at a few popular games, like <em>Superhot</em>, <em>Beat Saber </em>and <em>Pistol Whip</em>, on every headset to judge how immersed we feel.</p><p>The best controllers fit naturally in your hands and offer accurate tracking. The industry has basically adopted the design of Meta’s excellent touch controllers, but we're also seeing intriguing leaps forward like Valve's finger tracking gamepads. We judge controllers based on how easy they are to hold, how they hold up to sweaty gameplay sessions and how easily headsets can track their position in space.</p><p>However, it’s important to look at a virtual reality headset’s specs as a whole. Depending on what you’re looking for from a VR headset, you’ll want to consider factors like your PC’s graphics card if you plan to use the headset to play the best VR games. If you’re not looking to invest in a VR headset solely for gaming, features like head tracking allow you to explore your environment just by simply moving your head in the simulator. This often results in a more immersive and realistic experience.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=best-vr-headsets-for-2024>Best VR headsets for 2024</h2><div class=commerce-rmp><div

That additional power is noticeable in games like <em>Red Matter 2</em>, which feature updated textures that deliver an experience closer to PC VR. The Quest 3’s new displays run at 2,064 by 2,208 pixels per eye, offering an even better experience than the PlayStation VR2. Its mixed reality cameras also let you easily see the real world, in case you need to quickly answer a text or Slack message. And they enable games that can be built around your room.</p> <p>What makes the Quest 3 interesting is that it offers more than just solid VR: It also gives you a glimpse at what a mixed reality future could be. While it’s not as sharp or capable as Apple’s Vision Pro, that’s understandable. And just like previous Quest headsets, you can also plug it into a gaming PC for higher quality VR experiences.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row

for media players, and what the iPhone did for smartphones. It’s a bold, $3,500 gamble to reshape the world of VR around Apple’s idea of “spatial computing.” It’s incredibly expensive, somewhat uncomfortable and surprisingly buggy, but the <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2" href="https://www.engadget.com/apple-vision-pro-review-beta-testing-the-future-201430272.html" data-ylk="slk:Vision Pro;cpos:3;pos:1;sec:large-product;subsec:commlist;pkgt:square-editorial;pos:9;cpos:2;elm:context_link;itc:0" class="link rapid-noclick-resp">Vision Pro</a> is the biggest leap forward we’ve seen in the stagnating VR industry in years.

review</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Storage capacity:</strong> 128GB, 256GB | <strong>Battery life:</strong> 2-3 hours | <strong>Field of view:</strong> 96 degrees | <strong>Max refresh rate: </strong>120Hz</p> <p>The Quest 3S is Meta’s latest entry-level VR headset, but don’t let its reasonable $300 price fool you: It’s also a remarkable achievement for the company. It sports the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip as the Quest 3, as well as a healthy 8GB of RAM, allowing it to power the same experiences as its pricier sibling. It also features Meta’s excellent Touch Plus controllers, which deliver solid motion controls, as well as responsive joysticks and buttons.</p> <p>The only major downside is that the Quest 3S isn’t nearly as sharp as the Quest 3. It features the same 1,830 by 1,920 pixel per eye screen from the Quest 2, while the Quest 3's screen offers 30 percent more pixels (2,264 by 2,208 pixels per eye), to deliver a sharper and more realistic image.</p> <p>VR newbies probably won’t notice the difference much though, and that’s what really matters. The Quest 3S is just as comfortable as the Quest 3 to wear, and it can easily access the same apps and games on the Meta Quest Store. There’s no headphone jack either, but its built-in speakers deliver solid enveloping audio for games like <em>Maestro</em>, and you could also plug in a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, or just pair wireless headphones.</p> <p>The Quest 3S can connect to gaming PCs over USB-C or wirelessly to play more intense VR experiences. It can also wirelessly stream your gameplay to Chromecast devices, or to AirPlay devices by mirroring the Quest app from an iPhone. If you’re still holding onto the Quest 2, or an original Quest, the Quest 3S is precisely the inexpensive upgrade you’ve been waiting for.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow

It offers dual 2K OLED HDR screens, effectively giving you 4K quality. It’s one of the most comfortable headsets around. And it has some genuinely refreshing new features, like eye tracking and headset haptics. (Yes, it can literally rock your noggin.) Best of all, the PS VR2 delivers high-quality virtual reality without the need for a $1,000+ gaming PC – all you need is a PlayStation 5.</p> <p>Now, our recommendation comes with a few caveats. At $550, the PS VR2 is more expensive than the PS5 itself. And it’s unclear how quickly its game library will fill up. The initial run has only a few exclusives, like <em>Horizon VR</em> and <em>Gran Turismo 7</em>, and we haven’t seen many new titles since then. But it’s still the easiest way to experience high-end VR, and it’s a major upgrade over the original PS VR.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row

one of the best high-end solutions on the market that provides a truly immersive VR experience. For $999 you get the Index headset, Valve's finger tracking controllers and two SteamVR base stations. While we've seen higher-resolution headsets arrive in the last two years, it's still a very solid option, with a 1,440 by 1,600 pixel resolution, an eye-watering 144Hz refresh rate and a massive 130-degree field of view. I'd gladly lose a few pixels for the Index’s smoother and more expansive screen, which are still far beyond most other consumer headsets.</p> <p>As a SteamVR product, the Index requires installing two sensors at opposite corners of your room. And of course, it's wired to your PC. But that clunkiness is worth it for the higher refresh rate and more accurate tracking. Sure, it's not as easy to use as the Quest 3S, but at this price range, we assume you'll suffer a bit of inconvenience to get a truly high-quality VR experience.</p> <p>Valve's finger tracking controllers are fantastic as well, with a convenient strap that locks them onto your hands. They make playing <em>Half-Life: Alyx</em> feel like a dream. It's unfortunate that other VR games haven't fully taken advantage of the finger tracking though.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave

unique spin on a VR headset from Bigscreen, the developer of a popular app for watching video in VR. It looks more like an oversized pair of goggles than a massive VR headset. The $999 Beyond is the lightest VR option we’ve ever seen (it weighs a tad more than a deck of playing cards), and its Micro-OLED screens are sharp and offer near-perfect contrast. Unlike LCD screens, black can look genuinely black with the Beyond.</p> <p>The downside, though, is that the Bigscreen Beyond is expensive. It’s $999 on its own if you’re just upgrading a Valve Index setup. If you’re starting from scratch, though, you’ll also need to buy two Steam VR base stations and a pair of Index controllers. That adds up to a whopping $1,578.</p> <p>The Bigscreen Beyond also requires a custom face cushion, which is built from a 3D facescan when you place your order. Unfortunately, that makes it harder to share than other headsets. There’s also no room for glasses, since it’s so slim. You can buy prescription lens inserts from Bigscreen for an additional fee. And of course, you’ll have to live with a cable tethered to your PC, there’s none of the freedom of the cordless Meta Quest headsets.</p> <p>For all of its complexity, though, the Bigscreen Beyond delivers the most immersive PC VR experience I’ve ever seen. Since it’s so light, you can easily wear it for hours. Together with its glorious screens, it’s the best option for VR enthusiasts who don’t mind dealing with cost and complexity for true immersion.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid border-dirty-seagull dark:border-charcoal border-b @xl/p:border-b-0 @xl/p:border-r-2 mb-6 mr-0 pb-6 pr-0 @xl/p:mb-0 @xl/p:mr-4 @xl/p:pb-0 @xl/p:pr-4"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-ninja-turtle dark:fill-mulah scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1Zm4.201 7.305-6.186 6.172-2.223-2.216a1.047 1.047 0 0 0-1.481 0 1.042 1.042 0 0 0 0 1.477l2.963 2.956a1.05 1.05 0 0 0 1.482 0l6.926-6.911a1.044 1.044 0 0 0 0-1.478 1.049 1.049 0 0 0-1.481 0Z"></path></svg><span>Pros</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Incredibly light and comfortable</li><li class="list-disc">Sharp and bright Micro-OLED screens</li><li class="list-disc">Works alongside existing Valve Index accessories</li></ul></div><div class="flex-1"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-solo-cup dark:fill-watermelon scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1ZM7.415 7.188l-.098.087a1.053 1.053 0 0 0 0 1.483l3.2 3.211-3.244 3.246a1.045 1.045 0 0 0 1.476 1.478l3.24-3.243 3.231 3.242a1.04 1.04 0 0 0 1.476 0 1.051 1.051 0 0 0 0-1.483l-3.228-3.24 3.184-3.187c.376-.377.405-.969.087-1.379l-.087-.098a1.043 1.043 0 0 0-1.476 0l-3.181 3.184-3.202-3.214a1.04 1.04 0 0 0-1.378-.087Z"></path></svg><span>Cons</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Expensive</li><li class="list-disc">No built-in audio</li><li class="list-disc">Still exhibits artifacting like other VR headsets</li></ul></div></div><a data-ylk="aid:manual_85ff34bf-f6f7-4878-80c1-5f155e7af14b_1698859083009;cpos:6;itmId:$999;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;pid:manual_85ff34bf-f6f7-4878-80c1-5f155e7af14b_1698859083009;pdid:Bigscreen Beyond;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;itemcost:$999;sellerN:Bigscreen;pos:4;sec:large-product;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;pkgt:horizontal-cta-1;slk:$999 at Bigscreen;" class="rapid-with-clickid peer clear-right box-border block w-full min-w-60 rounded-[40px] px-7 text-center hover:no-underline hover:opacity-100 active:opacity-60 @xl/p:w-9/12 commerce-cta-btn-primary bg-inkwell py-3 font-semibold leading-5 text-white hover:bg-charcoal hover:text-grey-hair active:bg-charcoal active:text-grey-hair peer-[&]:mt-3 dark:bg-white dark:text-batcave dark:hover:bg-bob dark:focus:bg-bob dark:active:bg-bob" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=pnr-product-module&contentUuid=85ff34bf-f6f7-4878-80c1-5f155e7af14b&featureId=manual-entry&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5iaWdzY3JlZW52ci5jb20vIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiI4NWZmMzRiZi1mNmY3LTQ4NzgtODBjMS01ZjE1NWU3YWYxNGIiLCJvcmlnaW5hbFVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJpZ3NjcmVlbnZyLmNvbS8ifQ&signature=AQAAAZOJwEJAhGekN2c-IsiLBrAzqcYYjBxOy-9NOQ-Yw5bq&gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigscreenvr.com%2F&itemName=Bigscreen+Beyond&refurl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.engadget.com%252Far-vr%252Fbest-vr-headsets-140012529.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$999 at Bigscreen</a></div></div></div></div></div><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=other-vr-headsets-weve-tested>Other VR headsets we’ve tested</h2><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=htc-vive-focus-vision>HTC Vive Focus Vision</h3><p>The <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ar-vr/htc-vive-focus-vision-review-a-premium-vr-headset-with-average-performance-150029763.html" data-ylk="slk:Vive Focus Vision;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">Vive Focus Vision</a> is a sleek premium standalone VR headset that can also deliver solid PC VR.

For a wired headset, the actual work of rendering a game is done on either a PC or game console. For completely wireless devices, like the Meta Quest 3, that work is handled right on the headset. They rely on either external sensors, or sensors built into the headsets, to map your physical space. While you can use a traditional gamepad or keyboard and mouse in VR, they typically use motion tracking controllers to immerse you in their 3D environments.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=what-vr-headset-is-best-for-full-body-tracking>What VR headset is best for full body tracking?</h3><p>While we’re still waiting for a truly great haptic VR bodysuit to arrive, you can still achieve accurate body tracking with most Steam VR-compatible PC headsets. The Valve Index and HTC Vive Pro 2 both rely on room-tracking sensors that can map your body more effectively than the built-in sensors on competitors. You can also add HTC Vive Trackers to wrist and leg straps, as well as belts, for even better coverage. The Meta Quest 3 doesn’t have any easy body tracking solutions, but you can <a data-i13n="cpos:9;pos:1" href="https://www.vr-wave.store/blogs/virtual-reality-prescription-lenses/get-full-body-tracking-on-your-quest-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:add Vive trackers when it’s plugged into your PC;cpos:9;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">add Vive trackers when it’s plugged into your PC</a> to mimic a Steam VR headset.</p><p>Only a few experiences, like VRChat, take advantage of full body tracking at the moment.

Currently, Meta only supports the Quest 3, Quest 3S and Quest Pro, all of which are wireless headsets.
