Score: 86/100
DPVR E4
Score: 78/100Rankings
The PlayStation VR Headset Plus Camera Bundle offers an affordable, console-based VR experience with solid tracking and OLED visuals. Its main trade-offs are the need for a PS4/PS5 console and the absence of HDR and higher resolution. Best suited for existing PlayStation owners seeking a cost-effective entry into VR.
The DPVR E4 offers high-resolution 4K per eye visuals at 120 Hz with a wide 116° field of view and inside-out tracking, targeting budget-conscious PC gamers. Its main drawbacks are the heavy full-setup weight and reliance on wired connections, making it less portable. Best for users who prioritize visual fidelity over mobility.

Professional reviewers highlight the PSVR as a high-value entry into virtual reality, noting its competitive pricing, robust nine-LED tracking, and tight integration with the PlayStation ecosystem.
Everyday users praise the immersive experience and the ease of accessing VR through their existing PlayStation consoles. The Social Screen feature is frequently mentioned as a valuable way to involve friends and family.
Professional reviewers commend the E4 for its high-refresh-rate 4K display, lightweight optics and comfortable flip-up strap, calling the tracking respectable for the price. However, they criticize the overall heft of the full setup, controller occlusion problems, and the lack of a wireless or standalone option, noting that the cable and paid software diminish the otherwise strong value proposition.
User feedback is sparse, but the limited comments echo the reviewers' concerns about cable weight and controller battery requirements, while also appreciating the headset's comfort and visual fidelity for extended sessions.
“The 120Hz DP cable gives "nitty gritty juicy" budget PCVR performance, sharp 4K visuals, and comfort via stretchy strap/removable padding; tracking is "respectable" and fit is "smooth."”
“Full setup feels heavy - about 1.9 lb/0.86 kg - making it forehead-heavy despite the light headset body.”
