What is Virtual Reality?

In the early 1980’s, the term ‘Virtual Reality’ was coined in a Sci-Fi novel and it has replaced the most popular term of those times – ‘Artificial Reality’. To be exact, Virtual Reality is nothing but artificially replicating the human senses like Touch, Hearing, Visuals and Smell. Of-course, not all the VR headsets come with all these features. What we see in the budget VR headset market is those with the senses like Visuals and Hearing. The Virtual Reality headsets are mostly famous for their ability to simulate the 360 degree environment.

We’ve reviewed plenty of Smart VR glasses available and picked only the top 16 VR headsets in India that are worthy enough to spend your bucks on.

With so many options and wonderful features, it is important to decide the right one by considering the factors like lens type, HD-quality, design, and smart controlling options. To know how we have selected the best VR-headsets with these key factors, read our “Buying Guide“.

Buying Guide for VR Headsets

The popularity of VR headsets has exploded recently to the world by bringing fun and exciting features like sound clarity, HD visuals and compatible options. So, it is important for everyone to know how they improves the performance of top brand VR-headsets and also brings joyous moments in our lives.

Here are the main factors to think about before you buy VR headset. Let’s get in detail now.

1. Quality of lenses

Quality of lens should be your top most priority as it is the only thing responsible for clear visibility of image, videos or something like. If the quality isn’t good, then you are so bored with the VR headset and cannot enjoy the visuals.

For an ideal VR headset, the lenses should be of minimum 42mm diameter and is made with eco-friendly materials like optical resins with 8-layer Nano coating.

2. Field of View (FOV)

Field of view can be defined as the extent of observable world that can be seen at any moment of time. In simple words, it can be expressed as viewing an image or video at 360◦ rotational angle.

The main reason for us to list in the buying guide is because, not all the VR headsets offers at full-rotational angle. Some may offer 110◦ and some up to 120◦. There are some advanced models that offers 360◦ viewing options but at an expensive price. Choose the best that satisfies all your requirements.

3. User-Friendly

Strapping the device with heavy plastic material or parts isn’t that comfortable, especially for those who wear goggles. When you play a video or music using VR headset, you must be in a very comfortable position to enjoy the amazing visuals. Otherwise, you may feel depressed, and irritative sometimes. So, you should choose the VR headset that brings extreme comfort to you. It can be with limited features or uses soft cushions to relieve stress on ears.

4. Price Tag

Another important factor you should look into is the price-tag. If you have clear idea on how much amount you want to spend for virtual reality headset, then you can simply select the one that matches with your basic needs like watching videos, playing games and listen to music.

In the market, you can see all the models at different rates like Irusu, Procus, WI wiggle, Zebronics VR headset etc. You should check the price along with the performance and wonderful features it offers. Else, your total investment will be worthless.

5. Performance

You cannot judge the performance of any VR headset simply by looking at it. Unless you use it, you don’t know how it works. You can analyse the performance of the product by looking at its price, functionality, amazing features and the smart options. Lesser the features, lesser the performance of VR headset.

But, when you purchase online, it is very important to consider the product reviews and ratings.   Check out for the reviews and ratings of each product in detail. To your surprise, we have also provided separate column for pros and cons of each product beneath the description.

6. Hardware Design

Hardware design makes you identify the physical components and their relationships. Some of the models on our list are very stylishly designed and some are quite simple. If you are looking for something special in VR headset, probably it could be the design apart from the features.

And if you are not a big fan of hardware design then you can purchase the simple models available on our list.

7. Controllers

You can monitor the functionalities of VR headset using the controllers. It can be a remote or smartphone that can be connected to the VR-headset via Bluetooth protocol. Without this amazing feature, you cannot interface smartphone and enjoy the HD visuals.

In case, you face difficulty in handling the device manually, with just a single touch you can operate everything that you would like to and enjoy the virtual reality by using these controllers.

8. Casual or Hard-Core

Knowing the usage of VR headset will clarify all your doubts. If you are the one who love to use it very regularly for watching HD videos or listen to music, then go with the casual VR-headsets. And if you are a game lover then bang with the hard-core VR headsets to experience the gaming visuals.

9. Material Quality

We are going to end the buying with the material quality. Material quality determines the efficiency and long-lasting nature of the VR headset. Suppose, the VR headset is made with poor plastic, the chances are higher for damaging, which in-turn results in poor performance. Better to go with the environmental friendly materials that boosts the overall performance and also offers extreme comfort.
