"PSVR2. Anything less will just be a gimmick."
"If you want oled color and running high quality game without compression, psvr2 is a good option for the price."
"PSVR 2 used is a good value, especially if you have a ps5 too."
"My personal choice is the PSVR2 because I have a PS5 and with the adapter I can add in steam games combined with the black friday discount/price drop it was the best option for me"
"If you already have, or plan to have, a ps5- psvr2 is a must."
"I think right now psvr2 on PS5 has the best lineup for high quality graphically impressive games with the least hassle."
#4
Pimax
4.2
(17)
"Use pimax crystal ligt.. you dont need more and it looks crisp."
"The best: Pimax crystal super or meganeX superlight 8k, probably the best and futureproof headsets that can be bought in 2025."

"The clarity on the Pimax Crystal Light is fantastic."
"Pimax."
"Pimax Crystal Super or Play For Dream seem to be pretty high end."
"The Pimax Crystal series are very glasses friendly as they have a cut out for them in the facial interface."

Quest 3
4.7
(13)

Pico
4.0
(15)
"I prefer my Pico 4 Ultra over my Quest 3."
"Pico 4 (150-200 range) or psvr 2 (300)"
"Best budget PCVR: Pico 4"
"Headsets like the pico4 or quest 3 are very good for the price but they have a bit more latency because of the added step of compressing the Image for usb-c."
"I ended up ordering a Pico Neo 3 Link for 250£ plus whatever importing costs are from the UK to the EU."
"I love the pico 4. I have a quest 3 and a pico 4, but imo the pico 4 is a lot more comfortable and the pico connect software is pretty good."
"I would buy Pico 4 ultra just because its not an American company."
"I'd recommend the pico 4 over the quest 3s"
"I do dislike the controllers and the tracking seems worse than my Pico 4. So I would say Pico 4 OR if you can find a good deal for a used Quest 3 then Quest 3."
"Pico 4 ultra is good option for PCVR."

PSVR2

"Loving my PSVR2 on PC."
"Psvr2, no contest. If you have a PS5 that's the best headset to get."
"For PCVR and PS5 VR games, get a PSVR2."
"With his PS5 the psvr2 would be a good option because it has an OLED display, eye tracking and adaptive Trigger Feedback."
"I'd recommend a PSVR2. If you get the PC adapter he can play PC games, and he has the PSVR2-exclusive games he can play like Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Village."
"My PSVR2 is getting delivered today, I got it on sale for 388€."
"Depends on your PC specs. And PSVR2 for sim racing."
"Psvr2 for simracing, no input lag, no compression, oled screens and no battery."
"Then, the PSVR2 would be your best option."

Valve
4.4
(8)
"The only headsets that are seamless with PC (3rd party softwareless) are the index, Vive, vive pro, vive pro eye, and both bigscreen beyonds."
"Hey DO play Alyx at the beginning if you can run it well, it will show you the upper limit of what PSVR2 as a headset is capable off."
"Only one can be the top recommendation. Play Half-Life Alyx!"
"For sim racing the Index is incredible."
"Steam index has a wider compatibility to player made mods & games."
"The best out of the box experience is still a valve index kit"
"For playing BeatSaber on Expert+ difficulty, the Valve Index is pretty good because of Lighthouse tracking."
"The index is still fun, and outside in tracking will always beat inside out. But it's not a modern headset with modern support and compatibility at all."
#9
Bigscreen
4.5
(6)
"Premium experience consider, Bigscreen Beyond 2 with Index Controllers and 2 Base Stations."
"If you want good graphic without compression, go for pimax or bigscreen beyond."
"Big Screen Beyond or Somnium VR - the cream of the crop."
"The Bigscreen Beyond 2 is a very nice headset in terms of image quality, but it's not a complete package."

#11
Beat Saber
4.2
(6)
"Beat saber, superhot vr, pistol whip. All classic games and no vr sickness."
"Beat saber."
"A bit telling that the 6 year old game Beat Saber still is one of the best tips."

"Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Creed and Les Mills Body Combat are all good."
"Beat saber. Stay consistent at it and you could get honestly quite decent."
