Cheap VR headsets and add-ons

Whether you want a standalone model or one that plugs into a PC, this page covers cheap VR headsets from big US retailers. Comfort straps, controller grips, charging docks and lens protectors are listed too, so first-time players can step into fitness games and virtual worlds at a gentler price.

Cheap VR headsets: standalone or tethered?

• Standalone headsets run games without a PC or console, while tethered ones need compatible hardware, so check the system requirements.
• Check the listed storage capacity on standalone models, since games and apps fill it quickly.
• If you wear glasses, see whether they fit inside the headset or whether prescription lens inserts are available.
• Headsets may require an account and set a minimum age, so read the maker's age guidance for kids and teens.

Which suits you: Casual players and families get the most from standalone headsets with no cables, while PC gamers chasing higher graphics detail may prefer tethered headsets.
