Best VR headsets for consoles and PC

This group of headgear is what most of the fuss over the past two years has been about. The Oculus and HTC both work with a PC, the PlayStation VR with a PlayStation 4 so you'll need one of those first. For any of these, you'll need at least £350 and for Rift and Vive you're looking at double that including controllers.

The HTC Vive was made in collaboration with PC games giant Valve and works with Valve's mammoth gaming ecosystem. HTC packs in 70 sensors to offer 360-degree head-tracking as well as a 90Hz refresh rate; the stat that's key to keeping down latency, which is the technical term for the effect that causes motion sickness. Thankfully that wasn't an issue in our review, which can't be said about every device.
