20 Best Virtual Reality Glasses

Great inexpensive virtual reality glasses for a smartphone.They work with iOS and Android phones. They have focus adjustment and built-in headphones. The glasses are suitable for phones with a diagonal of 4.7 to 6.2 inches, they are connected via Bluetooth.

The sound quality is good - good bass and clear high frequencies. The build quality of the glasses is excellent. The model is comfortable to wear, allows you to wear them with glasses for vision correction. The main drawback, which is described in detail by users in the reviews: the image is sharp only in the center area, and the closer to the edge, the more blurry the picture. In addition, the interpupillary distance is not adjustable, the graininess of the picture is observed. These glasses will be the best solution for those who have a very limited budget and need a device for short-term use - after 20 minutes of watching a video, their eyes start to hurt.

Xiaomi once again bet on minimalism, releasing a simple and relatively cheap model. Weight is 250 grams and this is one of the best indicators among competitors. With additional functionality and adjustments, everything is scarce here. VR Glasses are designed to work with phones from 4.7 to 5.7 inches.
Among the features of the model, one can single out a bet on fabric elements, and not on plastic. There are no flimsy locks and latches here, but there is a high-quality zip lock. On the front panel there are cutouts for adjusting the smartphone without removing the helmet from the head, on which it is attached with a belt. To maintain optimal functionality, it is recommended to use the official Mi VR App.

These goggles are made by a company we know from portable batteries and electric scooters. The Chinese seek to attract buyers with the low cost of their product. So for HIPER VRR, even in our difficult conditions, they ask for quite a bit. This is due to the absence of any electronics here. The accessory is a VR-glasses with a plastic case, inside of which there are aspherical acrylic lenses with a diameter of 42 mm, the position of which is amenable to some adjustment. The buyer only needs to use his smartphone, after which he can enjoy a three-dimensional picture. The viewing angle in this case will be 110 °.

Judging by the reviews, virtual reality glasses do not cause any inconvenience. This is thanks to the elastic fasteners, the length of which is easily adjustable. On a special stand, you can place a smartphone with a screen diagonal of 4.3 to 6 inches. It is advisable to use a light device, since the glasses themselves weigh quite a lot - 242 g. This accessory does not have controls, however, some sellers offer a kit that includes a miniature Bluetooth gamepad.

It doesn't always make sense to spend a lot of money on entertainment, and when it comes to virtual reality glasses, VR Box VR 2.0 comes out on top. The main material of execution is matte plastic, but its rigidity is compensated by soft fabric. The face does not sweat or itch even during long gaming sessions. Before use, it must be fixed on the cradle, and then placed in the slot.

We also note the remote control connected via Bluetooth, on the successful connection of which a cursor appears on the screen. Adjustment straps are the main regulator for the size of the head, that is, the model is suitable for both adults and children. The only negative is the rather weak optimization when working in operating systems.

In total, there are 2 versions of the device on the market - Standard and Mini. Their differences lie in the packaging, which is why the Mini version does not have headphones and comes in a simple cardboard box with a case and instructions for use. The tray opens by pressing the top button, and inside there is a 3.5 mm jack for connecting to the headphone port on the phone.

If desired, they can also be used with a PC, you just need to get an extension cord that will connect the computer and your glasses. Inside there are slides for centering the phone. Headphones and cables are not detachable. The viewing angle is an honest 120 degrees. With a long session, the face may fog up due to leatherette.

One of the most beautiful VR headsets released by HIPER. Like more affordable solutions, she also received a convenient head position adjustment.As for the placement of the smartphone, it is more reliable. Importantly, there is no halo of light around it, even if the chandelier is turned on in the room. The manufacturer did not forget about the management in games. For this, a very convenient joystick is used, requiring only one hand. It is also enough to navigate through the menus of most VR applications.

Not only belts can be adjusted here, but also lenses. In particular, you can easily change the interpupillary distance and focus. This means that even a person with poor eyesight can use the helmet by removing their own glasses with diopters. As for the smartphone, it can have a screen with a diagonal of 4.3 to 6 inches. And it is better to choose some light model. The fact is that the scales under the glasses themselves will show an impressive 380 g. Not everyone wants to keep an extra half a kilogram on their heads.

Are you afraid that you will feel serious discomfort in VR glasses? In this case, you might consider purchasing HOMIDO V2. At least during the sale, when a relatively small amount is asked for this accessory. There is no doubt that the headset will sit comfortably on your head. The fact is that belts that can be easily adjusted are used here. And the owner of VR glasses will be able to adjust the position of the lenses. For example, the interpupillary distance can be adjusted between 55 and 70 mm. A change in focus is also available here, thanks to which the product can be worn on the head without glasses with diopters.

This accessory can accommodate almost any smartphone, up to having at its disposal a 6-inch screen. The only pity is that the weight of the product reaches 340 g.Add to this the mass of the phone, you get an impressive figure. As a result, we can safely say that the whole structure will definitely be felt on the head. Also in the reviews complain about the modest package. Together with the VR glasses, the buyer will only get a storage bag. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth gamepad will have to be purchased separately.

A new round of virtual reality technologies is marked by the release of Vive Pro 2.0. In fact, this is a pumped version of the first iteration with significant improvements in three main areas. The improved display consists of 2 OLED panels with a total resolution of 2880x1600, which is 80% more than its predecessor. The developers have focused on maximum clarity, so they can easily see small text or distant objects.

The innovation was the introduction of 2 cameras mounted in the front of the case, which gives the impression of a robo-eye. They are mainly needed to empower content developers, but can also be used by ordinary buyers. There are also 2 microphones here, and both of them have a noise reduction function. Headphones are also included and optionally connected to the helmet. The issue price is about 113 thousand rubles, which justifies new technologies, but sharply reduces the circle of buyers and our rating.

Affordable virtual reality glasses for the computer. The quality is inferior to the flagships as graphics. But they do not require high performance from the computer. The screens are not bad - 1440x1440 for each eye. And updated with a comfortable frequency of 90 Hz. Glasses cannot be called 100% "virtually real". They work on mixed reality technology - that is, they combine the world of the present and the world of the game. However, this does not negate their VR capabilities - all games designed for virtual reality will work as they should.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• Front cameras on glasses. Now the helmet itself tracks the position of the user, his movements. There is no need to install additional sensors and controllers.
• Wide 105 degree field of view. A good enough option for games, the picture does not “wash” in the corners and creates a pleasant impression. But not ideal.
• Lightweight for a computer helmet. Weighs only 440 grams, which makes it almost invisible on the head. Convenient fastening allows you to correctly distribute the weight, so playing in such glasses is quite convenient.
• Of the shortcomings - not the best graphics with seemingly good resolution and performance. It could have been better. But the glasses work even on medium computers and laptops, which is a plus.

A great option for creating a play area. This model differs from analogues in an increased viewing angle - here this parameter was brought up to 200 °. This means that the player will not see the screen borders. Therefore, the feeling of immersion in virtual reality will be even more indescribable.Contributes to this and high resolution - in front of each eye there is a display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. With this parameter, you can not wait for the "mosquito net" and other problems inherent in less expensive solutions.

The device received an adjustment of the interpupillary distance. The tracking system for this VR headset was created by Valve, which indicates that it works perfectly. The buyer can only complain about the lack of built-in headphones (they should be connected via a 3.5 mm audio jack) and the average refresh rate (90 Hz). For comfortable use of this helmet, you will need a computer with a video card of at least NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

The Vive is a joint venture between mobile device maker HTC and gaming giant Valve. This collaboration has created a technically advanced device in the VR technology market. In some cases, the technical capabilities of the Vive either match or outperform the Oculus Rift's main competitor. But the price of this helmet is on average 20% higher than that of Oculus.

Features of the device, and the main differences from CV1: The frame refresh rate is the highest among helmets. If the Oculus display is running at 75Hz, here it is 90Hz. This is the main indicator that plays a decisive role in Vive's favor. High frame rate allows you to use the helmet as a full-fledged gaming device. While Oculus uses a display with an average flicker rate. The device tracks not only the movement of the user's head, but also its movement in space. Thanks to this, you can achieve complete immersion.HTC did not follow the trend from Oculus, and did not equip the glasses with built-in headphones. However, external headphones are included as standard. The gamepad is not supplied in the box with the device. For a branded Steam Gamepad, you will have to pay another $ 50.

The best choice for a person looking to buy the perfect VR headset. Together with this device sensors of position in space are delivered. I am glad that there are only two of them, and you can place them anywhere in the room. Even more pleasant emotions cause motion controllers. Their cleverness is best illustrated by the game Half-Life Alyx, where they can even be used to pick up empty beer cans. There are no problems with aiming.

Like many other similar VR headsets, this one offers interpupillary distance adjustment. The high resolution of the displays used inside also contributes to the excellent picture. And even more important is the fact that the image is updated 144 times per second. This practically guarantees that you will not get seasick. You can find fault with the Valve Index only about the lack of your own headphones and not a record viewing angle. Also, not everyone will be satisfied with the fact that such a VR helmet requires a computer with a very powerful video card.

Royole is asking for fabulous money for their glasses. The most interesting thing is that there is 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory and its own screen from which you can write videos directly to memory. There is a wide range of interpupillary distance adjustment from 58 to 70 degrees.

With a relatively low refresh rate of 60 Hz, there is a fairly large resolution of 1920x1080 pixels for each eye. You can also connect a charger, since there is a special connector for this. The model was created for consoles, but can be used for PC and phones.

A unique product from Sony, created specifically for fans of the branded console. PS VR is affordable, comfortable and productive. Screen resolution of 960x1080 gives optimal graphics quality. A wide viewing angle (100 degrees) will allow you to immerse yourself in a new reality. The glasses can work with both the PS Move controller and a regular gamepad. Who is more comfortable.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• High-quality interaction with games. Since these glasses were created specifically for the PlayStation, the developers of virtual reality games took into account all the features of this console. There will be no problem identifying the player's actions.
• Excellent ergonomics - glasses do not put pressure on the face and do not leave marks. The weight of the device is correctly distributed over the hoop that wraps around the player's head. You don't even have to take off your glasses. At the same time, no light enters the structure - soft blinkers close all the cracks.
• High frame refresh rate - 120 Hz.This minimizes the negative effects of virtual reality - motion sickness, rapid onset of fatigue and nausea. Of course, the effect is far from ideal, but you can play your favorite games for a long time.
• The disadvantage is not the highest graphics resolution. When playing, sometimes you can notice "soap" at the edges of the image.

AvegantGlyph is a real breakthrough in the field of virtual reality glasses. It is no longer necessary for the case to fit snugly against the face. This model translates the image directly to the user's retina and is ideal for playing on consoles. The model connects to smartphones on iOS / Android and Windows, which makes it a universal device. The viewing angle is modest and is only 45 degrees at a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. Initially modest characteristics are offset by a high frame rate of 120 Hz.

Advantages and disadvantages:

• Built-in diopter adjustment. You can adjust the glasses to the vision of each user. Range - from +1 to -7 diopters. In extreme cases, ordinary glasses are placed under the body, although this is not so convenient.
• Wireless play. The powerful battery guarantees more than 3 hours of video playback. Virtual reality glasses do not restrict the player's movement.
• The disadvantage is the method of attachment. The glasses weigh 420 grams and are mounted on the head supported by the ears and nose. This can bring discomfort. Although over time, the head gets used to it.

The best virtual reality helmet for those who are looking for the most advanced model. The device is expensive, but the price is due to powerful hardware and wide functionality, as well as the presence of motion controllers in the kit. The helmet works autonomously, without requiring a computer, set-top box or smartphone. There is a large viewing angle - 110 degrees, a screen refresh rate of 75 Hz and the ability to change the interpupillary distance in the range from 60.5 to 74 mm).

Permanent memory 32 GB, you can still connect memory cards up to 2 TB. Screen with an AMOLED panel with a total resolution of 2880x1600 (1440x1600 for each eye). Headphones are built into the case and delight with high-quality multi-dimensional sound, there is also a motion controller in the kit. The helmet is well made, comfortable and easy to use. The picture is also gorgeous, the reaction to your movements is instantaneous. These are the best virtual reality glasses with the widest possible functionality and high quality workmanship.

An excellent choice for a person who is too lazy to connect any wires regularly. This device is completely independent. This means that inside it there was a place for the processor, memory and other components. Also, VR glasses from HTC have a Bluetooth module, through which synchronization with a smartphone that acts as a remote control is carried out.As for the displays, they provide a viewing angle of 100°. The 3.2K resolution contributes to the absence of the “mosquito net” effect. And only 75 Hz is not the refresh rate that I would like to see in such an expensive device. But with a large parameter, the helmet would not be so compact. Not to mention that it would drain faster.

Among other features, buyers in their reviews note the excellent sound. It turned out to be voluminous - in games you can determine the position of an approaching enemy by ear. And the device received an active cooling system, thanks to which the lenses will not fog up. Surprisingly, even with it, the VR glasses turned out to be very light - their weight is 189 g.

Relatively inexpensive standalone virtual reality glasses, when compared with the most powerful and functional competitors. Here is a productive flagship processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. The refresh rate reaches 75 Hz, and the viewing angle is up to 110 °. Headphones and remote control included. The Wi-Fi module supports a frequency of 5 GHz, you can also connect a memory card up to 256 GB. The front camera is dual.

The helmet is easily fixed on the head with a strap on the back of the head, but you can’t just lift the goggles up - you have to completely remove them. The reviews write that the model does not fit snugly to the eyes, which is why the real world is visible from the lye. But the picture is of high quality, movements are recognized correctly, there are no delays. This is the best helmet for the money in terms of technical characteristics, and its main drawback is the inconvenient design of the shell.

This VR helmet can be called universal. The fact is that it supports both games that are designed specifically for it (downloaded to the built-in memory), and created for a PC (a cable connection is required, but the level of graphics will increase). The only pity is that the use of the helmet is only possible with an active Facebook account. In our country, this social network is blocked, and therefore you will have to think about a VPN connection.

This model exists in several variations. The configuration and amount of built-in memory may differ. We recommend buying the 128 GB version. Half the storage option is only worth considering if you intend to play most of the time with a wired connection to your PC. As for the internal components, they correspond to the price. For example, IPS screens are used here, and the resolution does not exceed 1832x1920 pixels. I am glad that at least the refresh rate was increased to 90 Hz. Also, the American manufacturer did not refuse to adjust the interpupillary distance. Comfortable motion controllers should also be a pleasant surprise for the buyer.

An inexpensive basic VR headset that works as a standalone device. The model is characterized by a total resolution of 2560x1440, a refresh rate of 72 Hz and a viewing angle of 100 °. There are headphones. The built-in memory is 32 GB, and the manufacturer also offers a modification of glasses with 64 GB of memory.

The set includes a control panel. Among the sensors are an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a proximity sensor.All of them are needed in order to correctly determine your position in space and your movements. The device runs on Android 7.1. The powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor in conjunction with the Adreno 530 video accelerator and 3 GB of RAM is responsible for the speed. There is a Wi-Fi module for viewing online content. Reviewers claim that these are the best virtual reality glasses for their money. Among the shortcomings - the helmet heats up a lot under load, blurring of the image is observed along the edges of the lenses, and the interpupillary distance cannot be adjusted.
