"Love my PSVR2, I use it daily for sim racing on my PC."

"If you have a PS5 I’d say PSVR2 because there are some banger exclusives on there that are some the best VR experiences on the market."

"If you have a PS5 I would recommend getting a PSVR2. The Quest exclusives are usually dumbed down versions of the PCVR games"

"Wait for sale, PSVR2 is the best VR consumer headset"

"Visually the psvr2 wins, especially on metro."

"In your situation, the psvr2 is the best bang for the buck while also still giving access to multiple libraries."

"I have both because I didn't care much how shady facebook is. But I do care about visual quality and using LCDs is just nonsense, I rather use the PSVR2 just because it's superior."

"Its a great headset with a beautiful display, by far the best value for an OLED headset."

"Headsets like the PSVR2 are such a better option for sole PCVR gaming, being able to be used through steam, having great tracking, amazing panels..."

"The PSVR2 with the PCVR adaptor, would probably be your best non Meta option. Its pretty affordable right now, at basically the same cost as a Quest 3 S I think, and its really good hardware."

Valve

"If the deckard doesn’t come out just get a valve index I have one and it is probably the best pc vr experience because it doesn’t lag or have much latency as a quest would when using air link"

"Get the index. It's still a phenomenal experience."

"Index"

"I have only ever had an Index, but I have never had any software issues. Very smooth experience."

"Switched from Quest to Index for the same reasons. For ultimate PC experience and low delay on inputs/picture."

"I would recommend the Index or the G2."

"Get the index is comfortable and just works better tracking and controllers wise."

"Valve index."

"The best would be the index, but that is 1000 dollars."

"I just got a refurbished vibe pro 2, base stations and valve knuckles all for less than $500."

HP

(15)

"G2 seems like the way to go."

"The G2 is on sale today for 150 off."

"Reverb g2 and quest 2."

"The G2 is by far the best. It's like an Index but very light."

"G2. Love it."

"By far, the best inside out tracking headset is the HP Reverb."

"Reverb G2 on sale or a Samsung Odyssey+. G2 is great but the small sweet spot is barely acceptable."

"I really enjoy my reverb g2."

"The only headset that has, imo, better specs and in the same price range would be the HP Reverb G2."

"Your best bet is to have multiple headsets. Keep your Reverb G2 for sims, and then get something else for roomscale games."

Pimax

4.1

(14)

"**Pimax Crystal Light** for $800-$900. Offers 35PPD, 2880x2880 per eye."

"Pimax Crystal for the highest end, and Pico4 if you want best bang for the buck."

"Best is the pimax crystal but it's expensive. Quest 3 is very good as well and a lot cheaper."

"Pimax I believe has a wireless option and looks really good, you will need the base stations but tracking is better."

"You can get a Pimax crystal light for $700-800 used"

"In your budget I'd probably get the Pimax Crystal Light ($900), or the PSVR2 + PC adapter as a cheaper option"

"Pimax Crystal Proper has WiGIG coming this year as well, but a full kit with wiGIG probably 2grand."

"I believe that wide pimax is the best you can go now when it comes to FOV and resolution but you need beast of a machine to feed it."

"Displayport? Crystal Light."

"If cabled, go for pimax or bigscreen beyond"

Oculus

4.4

(11)

"For 500$ you could get a Quest 2 with deluxe strap + a good router."

"Oculus quest 2 or rift s."

"If you can circumvent the account requirement it's easily the best value PCVR experience you can get right now."

"Only Quest 2 right now but next year probably this one which would be obviously better than a Quest 2."

"I'd say the Rift S if you're ok with Facebook."

"Make sure to check your IPD first."

"If PCVR is your focus, I would go with the Rift-S."

"Rift S or Quest. There really are no other choices currently."

"Undoubtedly the Rift S. It's pretty affordable ($400), doesn't need crazy specs."

"I would say the Rift wins for comfort."

Pico

4.0

(11)

"The best bang for the buck is the Pico4 second hand with AMVR facecover and BoboVR headstrap all together 300 usd makes it the most comfortable wireless headset with very good resolution"

"Pico 4 (150-200 range)"

"Best budget PCVR: Pico 4"

"Pico 4"

"Pico or Quest for the comfort of Standalone. Pico Neo 3 has DVI port or something that doesn't need compression."

"Pico 4 ultra is good option for PCVR, as it has larger render resolution than Quest 3."

"Go get quest3(not3S) or pico4 or pimax or even bigscreen beyond"

"Pico 4 Ultra"

"Any of them. I recommend Pico 4."

"Pico 4, much better than the quest 2 and reverb 2 I had, the lenses make all the difference."

Bigscreen

4.0

(9)

"Premium experience consider, Bigscreen Beyond 2 with Index Controllers and 2 Base Stations."

"Best wired PCVR: Bigscreen Beyond 2/MeganeX Superlight."

"BB2 or wait for Deckard"

"The new big screen beyond 2, if not quest 3"

"Big screen is great at being a small headset. But then you need external tracking, controllers, an audio solution and at that point it’s a pretty pricey and complicated setup."

"Form factor? Bigscreen Beyond."

"Go get quest3(not3S) or pico4 or pimax or even bigscreen beyond"

"Best comfort? Probably the BSB."

"Go with a Big Screen Beyond 2 and some Index controllers and base stations. Probably land you close to $1800."

HTC

4.3

(8)

"Ive been using a Vive Pro 2 with the DAS and wireless adapter and index controllers for about 2 years now. Its leagues ahead of playing wireless on a quest headset."

"I found an htc vive pro on ebay for 100 bucks and did the gear vr lens mod, best headset ive used."

"Best experience to price ratio would be to find a used OG Vive and pair it with a set of either v1 or v2 SteamVR tracking basestations and get a set of Valve Knuckles"

"Some sort of refurb or used vive kit"

"I just saw an open box never used vive Pro 2 for under $400."

"Vive Pro 2 is the only non-standalone PCVR system with a wireless option."

"Vive with wireless is going to be the best wireless experiance with the least compression and latency, but I'd still take a real cable any day."

"My personal opinion on the best is the Vive, it has great upgrade options for future accessories."

Valve Index

(6)

"Haven't tried a G2 but the Index is comfy af."

"The overall best headset should be the index"

"Index"

"Index for FoV and refresh rate"

"Valve Index if you mainly do room scale games"

"I feel of you are going to invest in a headset I would get one of the main supported ones so you don't get dropped in software support."

Varjo

4.3

(4)

"Varjo XR4"

"Varjo XR-4 offers the best visual quality."

"The best would probably be the Varjo Aero. they are usually around the $2000 mark, for just the headset."

"Varjo XR-4 has a lot of problems. Some reviewers don't speak well about the current state of the headset."

PC VR Headset

(5)

"I want a headset which connects to my pc, so i get the best visuals."

"Price shouldn't be a factor if image quality is priority."

"The idea of 'best pc vr headset' is going to be subjective."

"There's pros and cons to each, look into it on your own."

"There’ve been heated fanboy wars over that."
