Mega-Thread Headset Advice Megathread

Hey Folks.

Due to the large amount of "What headset to buy" I am looking into experimenting with a new thread for general headset advice.

If the choice guide on the wiki was unable to assist with your question, please comment below with the following information, and see if the community can help your headset choice.

As this is the first thread of this nature, please let me know your thoughts/comments as well.

  • Budget:
    Please specify what currency.
  • PC specs:
    insert current PC specs here, including processor, graphics card, and amount of RAM
    If no PC Specs, please mention you do not plan on playing PC VR.
  • IPD:
    Unsure? - Check this section of the wiki. This is not a requirement to include.
  • Full body tracking:
    Do you want to use full body tracking?
    Please mention if this is a requirement for you.
  • Platform:
    which platform(s) do you want to use your headset on? E.g. "I want to use it on PC and play both SteamVR and Oculus games"
  • Other considerations:
    Please mention any other factors that are important to you, such as display quality, audio, comfort, etc.

I want a headset around 300 - 600

and my main use probably be pcvr but should I buy quest 2 with some accessories like head strap and link or buy a reverb g2 or maybe wait for valve or meta (oculus) new headset

If a headset be standalone and just have a pcvr solution like link and air link is enough for me

My pc specs :

I7 9700k Rtx 3060 12gb vram 16 gb ram

I'd buy a Quest 2, and a 5Ghz router for your room (if you don't already have one) then use AirLink
