So I have been looking into getting a VR headset. Now i know my computer can handle it but my issue is that I am not sure which one to get.

 

I have the Oculus Quest which I have been using to play PC VR games with the newer software they have. I have been noticing this is fun but I get pretty motion sick because it was not designed for it and it is still in the Beta.


What would be the best bang for my dollar VR headset?

 

Thank you for the help.

if you want to dabble but not get deep, a used occulus is an exceptional value.

I want to get into it, messing around right now on the quest is great so I want to advance but I am not sure if there is a reason to move from quest to rift s and if its even worth it. Or if it would be worth it more to go with a different headset.

the Windows Mixed Reality headsets are an amazing deal if you find them for a good price. the Quest is nice but if you already have a PC able to run VR it might not be the best choice, and you might also be waiting a while to get one since they're having trouble keeping up with demand.

 

You could look for a used 1st gen Vive or Rift, but their screen quality and stuff are lacking compared to newer headsets.
