If you're ready to dive into the world of immersive digital experiences, investing in a virtual reality headset is the way to go. Whether you're into gaming, virtual workouts or exploring incredible 360-degree environments, a VR headset can transport you to places you’ve never been – all from the comfort of your own home.

If you’re still on the fence about whether a VR headset is for you, there are plenty of reasons you might want to explore virtual reality. Maybe you're looking for a more immersive gaming experience, or perhaps you want to use it for fitness, meditation, or even virtual travel. VR headsets can also be great for work, offering virtual meeting rooms and collaborative spaces that go beyond standard video calls.

Now more than in years past, there’s something for everyone thanks to more VR headsets being on the market at various price ranges. The Meta Quest 3, for example, offers fantastic all-around performance at around $500, while the Apple Vision Pro is packed with cutting-edge tech, but it'll set you back a hefty $3,500. We’ve tested and reviewed a number of the most popular VR headsets on the market to help you figure out which are the best for your needs (and budget).

These lists are becoming kind of pointless. Especially since the categories are pretty much made for the headsets winning them.

But none of this tells the whole story. Does the Pico 4 stack up against the Quest 3? What about Pimax, Varjo? In any event, none of these have changed in ages.

We are so ready for some new headsets. We need some real innovation.

I was kinda excited for the HTC Elite XR but I want a PC VR version only and from what I read it's kinda underwhelming.

I feel that Htc have been exclusively underwhelming for a while, same goes for their new reveal, Vive focus vision i think. Nice stats for a wireless pcvr headset, but still uses fresnel lenses :(
