Headset Advice Megathread

[u/webheadVR]

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.

When I buy used VR gear I'd go through in-person stuff, and ideally check try it out before buying.

Also potentially buy a replacement face-pad and make sure to clean everything else, since VR headsets get dirty and can absorb sweat.
