10 Best Virtual Reality Headsets 2016
1. Samsung Gear VR – Virtual Reality Headset

Yes, mobile virtual reality is here and you will not believe what you can enjoy with this Samsung product. You can play amazing games and even watch the latest or your favorite movies. This headset is more like a personal cinema. Samsung partnered with Oculus to give the world best VR on the mobile platforms. The headsets can also be on social media and other online websites of your choice. (Learn how to watch downloaded YIFY or YouTube movies with Gear VR)

Gear VR is available for around £100, and there's a controller, which you can get for about £70. You'll need to make sure it's going to fit your chosen Samsung smartphone, however. We're also expecting more from Gear VR alongside the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7 later in February 2016. Gear VR opens the door to mobile devices, but you'll need to supply the Samsung smartphone.

2. Homido Virtual Reality Headset

If you are interested in entertaining your eyes with unimaginable 360 degrees fun, this headset will give you just that. Homido created a great VR headset that has eye range (farsightedness and nearsightedness) settings so that you can watch at best eye comfort. This headset is compartible with most Smartphones and the pairing process is very easy. Homido VR also comes with a custom made virtual reality lens.

There's a sprung section on the front into which you can slide your phone, and you can then strap the thing to your head to view your VR content. It's a little cheaper, so you can get your hands on it for around £50, so if you're a little more of a VR fan and think that Cardboard will get too annoying with the constant handholding, then Homido might be a solution for you. It's easy and widely available now.

3. Oculus Rift

The current VR arms race is all thanks to one man: Oculus founder Palmer Luckey. As a teenager, Luckey collected VR tech and was fascinated with making his own headset in his garage. Numerous prototypes and a $2bn Facebook buyout later, Oculus is still the biggest name in VR, thanks to a partnership with Samsung and its own headset.

It's on pre-order, with the first units expected in April, although the demand means you'll be waiting until July if you order now. The headset features two 1080x1200 screens, the highest quality of any VR display at the moment, along with two touch-and-button enabled controllers that can simulate anything from a gun to a paintbrush. Unfortunately, all this comes at a price, and judging by the price of the Oculus Rift, we imagine this will cost upwards of £500 when available for pre-order although there is no confirmed pricing at the moment.

4. HTC Vive

Valve is one of the biggest names in PC gaming: it made Half-Life, Portal and DOTA 2, and operates Steam, the biggest online storefront for PC games. At the end of 2015, it's set to release two pieces of hardware: Steam machines, which are console-like boxes that run PC games, and the Vive headset, a partnership with Taiwanese hardware manufacturer HTC.

As of right now, Vive offers the best virtual reality we've ever experienced. This is thanks to the headset's two 1080 x 1200 screens, the highest resolution displays out there, and the two sensors that hang on your wall to track movement. The downside is that the Vive is expected to cost more than other headsets, possibly between £200 - £400.
