In this section, you'll find the best available prices on models from Meta, which is a division of Facebook (specializing in virtual reality headsets). While there isn't a great deal of selection here, the headsets are of high quality. The Meta Quest 3 is the market leader when it comes to Meta Quest, and it has some seriously impressive specs for its price.

There's also the newer Meta Quest 3S, which is designed to be a more budget-friendly alternative: It plays the same games and software as the Quest 3, with slightly pared down specs.

The Meta Quest 2 has been officially discontinued, but there are still some great deals around if you want to grab a serious bargain.

Note: Meta VR headsets were formerly known as Oculus.

Here we have Valve virtual reality headsets. We feature just one headset in this section but thankfully, it's an exceptional headset. It also comes with Half Life Alyx, which is regarded as the best virtual reality game out there.

The Valve Index is a high-quality product. You may spend a bit more than with other VR sets, but if you're willing to spend the extra bit of cash you will end up with something that reflects that and doesn't disappoint. Bonus points if you can find it at a discounted price.

This section contains the most products in one section in this guide, and they're all from HTC. The five different headsets that feature here show the company's ability to produce high-quality products consistently and we've picked the best ones to cover everyone's budget.

HTC has been in the VR headset game longer than most, and it knows how to make a great VR headset. The HTC Vive Pro 2 is at the higher end of most people's budget but does have that extra quality, whilst headsets like HTC Vive Cosmos Elite and the Cosmos are a bit less pricey and offer a fantastic VR experience.

PSVR, aka PlayStation Virtual Reality, is Sony's own proprietary VR headset for PlayStation consoles. That means it only works with PS4 and PS5 but this headset is nevertheless great because it offers players a new way to play and adds an entirely new dimension to some of people's favorite games on the console.

The headset has proven to be a popular way to play new games and experience virtual reality, so much so that Sony released the PSVR 2.
