HTC Vive Pro
Score: 75/100Rankings
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 HTC VIVE Pro Full System is a professional-grade, PC-tethered headset offering high-resolution AMOLED displays and integrated spatial audio. Its heavy weight and need for a powerful PC make it less portable and more expensive. Best suited for developers, enterprises, and enthusiasts who demand top-tier visual fidelity and precise tracking.
