Nice budget Vr headset?

NotABigGamer
Go to solution Solved by jaslion,

The rift s is about as budget as I would go if you want a pc only vr headset. The oculus quest is nice if you want a bit of both worlds of mobile vr whilst also having the option for desktop vr. There are for sure windows mixed reality headsets in your pricerange but those all have the issue of losing tracking of the controllers when they are in front of eachother.

I was considering getting into vr but the vr headsets can be kind of expensive. Does anyone know a good budget one? I prefer amazon and i am from america. I have a budget of 250-300.

I'm going to echo jaslion's recommendation. Occulus has the best combination of ease of use, general design and price point for someone who is new to VR and just starting out. 

 

Later, you may want to get into more specialized and expensive headsets (I ended up getting a Reverb, specifically because I play seated VR flight sims) but start with the Occulus. 

 

Also, if you are into exploration or space games, No Man's Sky has a fantastic VR implementation now. Very fun and immersive game with it. Yes, it's actually good now.
