Last Updated August 5, 2022 By Subhash D Leave a Comment

VR headsets have been there for a few years. In the last two years, the explosion of VR, 3D games, and videos have given an unexpected boom to the VR headgear market. With a huge count of options in VR headgears, it is hard to pick the right one. The variations in the specifications and features in this geeky gadget have to be carefully examined before spending your money.

So if you are looking for a VR headgear, it becomes imperative for you to know what actually you should be looking for. Let’s check out some core parameters to consider before buying a perfect VR Headset.

List of 15 Features of the Best VR Headgear

Comfortable to wear

An itching or irritating Headgear will prohibit you from living the immersive video or game. You need an adjustable and snugly fit headgear that stays in place. It should not slip down or make your headache even after prolonged use as once you get going with VR, it’s hard to pull yourself back to reality.

Lightweight

A heavy VR headgear is a strict no-no. What’s the fun to carry the burden on your head when you are putting on this gadget for enjoyment? So, get a headgear that keeps you cool and composed while playing the fiercest of VR games.

Focal length must be adjustable

Your eyesight must not come in the way of your enjoyment. If you wear glasses then the default focal setting may give a blurred feeling. A VR headgear must have an interface to control the focal length to get a clear experience.

Wide Viewing angle

A VR headgear must be fitted with a good quality Lens for the extra wide panoramic view guaranteeing a thrilling and immersive 3D experience. If you get a split view and 360 panoramic views, that would be the best deal.

Fits your Smartphone or any gadget of your choice

Before getting a VR headgear, ensure that the dimensions specified are fit to match the size of your viewing gadget. It will be a nice trip to the nearest VR store with your Smartphone and check this feature.

Compatibility with apps you want to run

Get a VR headgear that works seamlessly with the apps you get from Apple Store and Google Play Store. It must allow you to access an infinite repository of newer and better games, movies, and virtual tours. You must be able to get access to these virtual worlds sitting right in your living room.

Controller type

You do expect an easy-to-use controller while you are immersed in a virtual world of an exciting game. A better option is a Bluetooth controller compatible with apple or android based games and Apps.  What is more convenient than a versatile controller to select your music and videos? It must be multi-functional to work as a wireless mouse and timer.

Easy to follow instruction guide

Though it looks like an unwanted thing here with the geeks using the VR headgear,  it is always a good idea to read the instructions before using the gadget. You may not like to miss a minute detail and waste a lot of time before getting the easy workaround in the accompanying help book.

Easy to wear

Don’t ruin your fun time by spending extra time wearing a headgear that needs a team of companions to fit on your head. You must be self-sufficient to do this.

Action Buttons for apps

Get a VR headgear fitted with solid and apt action buttons to control the game or app you are using. It will be the right launch pad for an immersive VR journey.

Block light and other distractions

Can you watch a great tennis game sitting in a restaurant lobby? too much movement around will take away expected fun. Try the VR headgear to check if it blocks the external light completely along with other distractions that may affect your immersive enjoyment.

Good bag to carry

Your VR headgear can be the most entertaining companion on lonely trips. Make sure that your VR headgear comes in a neat and handy bag to protect it from scratches and other damages.

Face foam for protection

Long durations of immersive gaming may leave marks on your face if this gadget has no foam for protecting your face.

Good customer care support

You may like to check out one more vital issue before hitting the “return” button on your order list. Check out if the product you have chosen offers good customer care support to make you a valuable customer by giving the right information and suggestions.

Sturdy body

A VR headgear is going to be the toughest player in your 3D games. So get the one that is a winner in the sturdiness in construction and body. It should not feel like a plastic box with a lens and headband. It must go a long way with you and give you value for your money.

The VR head gears range from a few dollars to a couple of hundreds. It all depends on your budget and your passion for VR experience. Spend wisely by considering the features mentioned here. Enjoy the immersive experience.
