Oculus Quest 2 128GB
Score: 73/100Rankings
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 Meta Quest 2 128 GB is a standalone VR headset offering sharp 1832 × 1920 per-eye visuals and up-to-120 Hz refresh rates. Its weight and modest 2-3 hour battery life can limit long sessions, and tracking may falter in busy environments. Best suited for newcomers and casual gamers seeking an affordable all-in-one VR solution.

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 view the Quest 2 as a landmark all-in-one VR headset, lauding its precise 6DOF tracking, pancake optics, and up-to-120 Hz refresh that deliver smooth, immersive experiences. However, they acknowledge that newer models like the Quest 3S have overtaken it in weight, battery efficiency, and advanced tracking features, positioning the Quest 2 as a solid but now legacy option.
Consumers appreciate the headset's generous storage, standalone ease of use, and robust game library, noting that the 2-3 hour battery life suits short sessions. Common complaints revolve around the headset's weight, occasional tracking hiccups in busy environments, and the visible screen-door effect on the LCD panel.
