Pansonite VR headset
Options at this price use your smartphone for their display and processing. This used to be a very popular format, with options from Google, Samsung, and other big names, but the tide has shifted somewhat in the last year or so. Instead, it’s lesser-known companies that are still making these headsets.

Oculus Quest 2
The new Oculus Quest 2 fits comfortably into this category, with its price of $299, which is $100 less than the original Quest. Instead of using a smartphone for its screen, the Quest 2 is a self-contained VR headset with its own integrated display. It boasts a more powerful processor than its predecessor and a 50 percent increase in resolution to 1832 x 1920 per eye.

PlayStation VR bundle
The headset itself can be had for around $200, but it requires the PlayStation Camera and VR Move controllers to function, so ideally you’ll want to look at a bundle. These include the headset, camera and Gran Turismo Sport for $390, or the headset and camera, plus Astro Bot Recuse Mission and Moss for $300. A bundle with Brille V2 currently costs just over $300.

HTC VIVE Cosmos
The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite starts at $550 for the headset on its own, but bundles with controllers and the light boxes the headset uses to locate itself it your room stretch up towards the $900 mark. What you get for your money is a resolution of 2880 x 1700, a flip-up design to make it easy to jump in and out of the VR experience without taking the headset off, and access to the Vive Port VR gaming and experience platform.

360-DEGREE CAMERAS FOR CREATING VR CONTENT
Insta360 One X2
The next step after buying a VR headset is to get a camera capable of shooting 360-degree video. That way, you can create your own virtual reality content. These are generally more expensive than regular video cameras, as they have two lenses each recording a 180-degree picture, plus all the intelligence needed to stitch these videos together into a complete, 360-degree sphere of video.
