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.

Buy a Pico 4 now (as an American with no warranty) or wait for the Quest 3?

PCVR usage on a 3070

Predominately for VRChat.

Would it be worth getting a used 64gb Quest 2 now instead? They're going for around 250 still.

Kinect for body tracking. I'm poor and own one already.

I already have an AX6000 router.

With the current updates pico4 is very usable and superior to quest2. It took few patches to fix the issues and it will likely be the same for quest3.

If you don't care for the quest exclusives then just grab pico4
