#CHEAP VR HEADSET PRO#
The HTC Vive Pro 2’s super-high resolution screen is a sight to behold HTC Vive Pro 2īut the HTC Vive Pro 2 has its faults, too. After hours of testing, we still found ourselves stunned by how good games looked on this device.
#CHEAP VR HEADSET PC#
Provided you've got a powerful gaming PC to back it up, this is as clear and lifelike a display as you're able to find in the consumer VR space right now. The latest evolution of the HTC Vive range, the Vive Pro 2 boasts a ridiculous '5K' resolution (2448x2448 pixels per eye) a 120-degree field of view and a 120Hz refresh rate. It doesn't come cheaply, but if you're after the very best in PC VR visual fidelity, the HTC Vive Pro 2 should sit near the top of your list. Overall, if you can afford the admittedly high price tag, PSVR 2 will unlock a wealth of new and immersive experiences without the need of a PC or a powerful PC-based VR headset. The device is massively helped by its 2,000 x 2,040 panel resolution, while a new passthrough camera helps players locate their Sense controllers and confirm their play area at the push of a button. Meanwhile, solid ports of PSVR favorites like Tetris Effect, Rez Infinite and Moss: Book II return looking better and playing more responsively than ever.Ī suite of new convenience features also elevate PSVR 2 well above its predecessor. PSVR 2 exclusive games like Horizon: Call of the Mountain seriously impress with stellar image quality. Sony has nailed virtual reality on its second try with the PSVR 2 PSVR 2 review However, taking the plunge will net you one of the absolute best VR experiences on the market. At $549 / £529 / AU$879, PSVR 2 is even more expensive than the console itself, which will certainly turn away a sizeable number of consumers. That is if you can stomach the price, of course. Sony has set a phenomenally high bar for any future console-based VR headsets, and comes highly recommended from us if you own a PS5. The original PSVR had its share of shortcomings back in 2016, most of which have been brilliantly addressed in 2023 with PSVR 2. Priced at $999 / £919 / AU$1,425, there's no getting around the fact that it's an expensive option, but for everything offered, we also consider it the best available, too. Its higher-resolution screen and better refresh rate allowed us to use it for longer periods of time without discomfort, and the Index Controllers are a real step up from the ones that ship with the Vive.Īlthough the Valve Index was difficult to track down throughout most of 2022, we've seen that availability has greatly increased towards the end of the year, much like with some of the company's other hardware, such as the Steam Deck. If you can look past those issues, this is a fantastic VR headset. You'll also need a space where you can be near a powerful PC or gaming laptop, because – this isn't a standalone headset like others in this list.
The Valve Index is the next-generation VR headset we’ve been waiting for Valve Index review
During our testing, we found setting it up can be tricky, updates can cause connection issues and there are often errors.
#CHEAP VR HEADSET UPGRADE#
It’s a significant upgrade to both the HTC Vive, and runs much smoother than the Vive Pro, a powerful VR headset that really struggled to deliver on the promise of high-end, room-scale VR. However, it isn't without its snags. We found it has a crisp display that runs well even with older GPUs, a wider field of view, a higher refresh rate, and Valve’s 'knuckle' controllers, which can track the movement of every finger. The Valve Index is one of the best VR headsets because it represents a next-gen system compared to its predecessors.
