Best For Rift: Oculus every Game

Buy on Amazon

The oculus every game is capable of outshining several other headset featured in this list in overall features in its price range. The Oculus headsets are separate gaming consoles, and the PlayStation 4 has it’s own virtual reality add-on device, the PSVR. It is possible to connect the Quest to a PC, with an Oculus Link cable. This headset also has real time hand tracking and it works REALLY well.

The battery lasts about 1-2 hours per charge and the initial software is pretty solid and only a few minor issues with hand tracking sometimes getting lost. The extra memory comes in handy for all the downloads. It has a built in processor, it is an all-in-one headset, and highly recommended. This gaming system is great to have wish there were a lot more games for it. This product comes with an eyeglass insert.

Why We Like This:

Set up in seconds, whether you're at home or somewhere new
You can access youtube vr videos and movies via netflix and other apps
Good investment for long term

Best With headphone: Oculus Virtual Gaming Headset

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate headset. The oculus virtual gaming headset is exactly that - it's a simple headset that hits all the right notes. There is no immersive movement other than side to side and up and down but moving forward and back are spacial motions that often make VR initially a little unsettling for novices. You can also enter virtual classrooms and so many other virtual spaces that it truly is a virtual reality headset, albeit with limited power but still very compelling.

The selection of game type apps isn't the best, but for watching videos this thing is great. It's quick to set up, and easy to download and install new apps.

The screen door effect is almost eliminated, the VR experience is every bit as good as the rift, and overall quality is excellent. The user interface is intuitive and easy to use.

Resolution is good enough that you're not just seeing big pixels
Good brand reputation

Best For whole family: Okaycat Virtual Gaming Headset

Buy on Amazon

Next on the list, we've got yet another headset that manages to win our hearts. It's the okaycat virtual gaming headset and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient headset you can buy. The really cool thing about this head strap is you can lift it up like a visor, rather than having to rip it off your head when your husband (or mom, or wife, or dad) tells you you've been in VR too long today. It has a professional vr product development team and a wealth of supply chain management experience as a professional manufacturer specializing in vr accessories. The weight of the extra battery on the back of your head really helps balance the weight of the Quest.

This battery pack head strap is comfortable, easily adjustable, and extends the amount of time you can play the VR before needing to charge it. The length of the sidebar can be easily adjusted by the non-slip gear-style design knob, which can quickly adjust the looseness of the vr headset within the range of the range of vr accessories. The plastic sides also feel somewhat sturdy and the knob on the back helps get the sizing just right. If you're taking turns with other people and needing to adjust the strap size constantly this is faster and more comfortable.
