IN 2023, a VR headset needs to be immersive, comfortable, and offer support for a wide selection of games and apps. It should also offer good value for money, whether you’re spending hundreds or thousands of dollars. Luckily, there are many excellent VR headsets that fit that description today. We’ve rounded up all the popular models from Valve, Meta, HTC, and the rest, and tested them to death so you can decide which one is worth your hard-earned cash.
5 META QUEST PRO
Although Meta’s top-end VR headset is expensive, it recently dropped from its launch price of $1,500 down to $999. The Meta Quest Pro is impressive, but its short battery life, the decision to have it focus on mixed reality, and underused features mean our number one pick will be better for most people. However, the controllers are excellent, eye tracking has potential, and it’s supremely comfortable to wear. $999, www.meta.com
