Oculus Go
- Sale price: $179

The Oculus Go, an entry-level VR headset from Oculus, doesn’t require you to have a fancy PC to use it. In fact, this mobile VR quality headset doesn’t even need a smartphone to run. All of the processing power is stored in the headset. The all-in-one headset is lightweight and has access to all the games available on Gear VR, as well as some exclusive apps. You can also use it to watch live sports, TV shows, and more.

- Sale price: $349
- Original price: $399
The Oculus Rift offers high-powered PC VR. This bundle comes with two Oculus Touch controllers and six free games: Lucky’s Tale, Robo Recall, Quill, Medium, Dead and Buried, and Toybox. The Oculus Rift features room-scale VR and great tracking to give you an immersive experience. You need a gaming PC to connect to the Rift, so make sure your graphics card and RAM (at least 8GB) are up to snuff. For graphics cards, you need a Nvidia GTX 1050Ti/AMD Radeon RX 470 or better.

HTC Vive Pro
- Sale price: $699
- Original price: $799
For VR enthusiasts, the HTC Vive Pro is a premium option with fantastic performance. The Vive Pro has 360 degree headset and controller tracking that feels startlingly precise. In terms of resolution, the Vive Pro is unparalleled. Visuals are incredibly crisp and clear, with a maximum resolution of 2880 x 1660, a marked increase over the original Vive headset. The headset is comfortable to wear and easy to setup, too. If you’re on the fence about spending $700 on a VR headset, make sure to check out our review. The major downside of the Vive Pro is that you have to buy controllers separately.

HTC Vive Pro Virtual Reality System
- Sale price: $1199
- Original price: $1399
The Vive Pro “2.0” is marketed more towards businesses than the average gamer. The price sort of gives that away. It comes with two Steam VR 2.0 base stations for even more precise tracking and a pair of Vive controllers. With the Vive tracker ecosystem, you can pull real-life objects into view. Again, though, the Vive Pro Virtual Reality System is marketed for business use, such as aerospace and automotive companies.
