If your idea of the best VR headset is to have the best image quality in consumer VR, wins. For serious gamers (or ), it's probably your best choice. The 2,160x2,160-per-eye resolution and 114-degree field of view are the best at this price range, and the lightweight, comfy headset also has fantastic drop-down speakers designed by Valve.
