Best VR headsets 2021: Top picks from HTC Vive, Oculus, PlayStation and more

The idea of virtual reality or VR isn't new, of course. It's been circulating in the tech space for a number of years, but, over the last decade, the technology has broken through some of the long-standing barriers.

VR headsets are now more accessible, both in terms of price and usability. It might have started with devices like Google's Cardboard opening the door for anyone with a smartphone, but even the high-end headsets are now easier to use - and more appealing, too. 

Modern gaming machines are also more capable, helping deliver lifelike virtual environments in the comfort of your home. This makes it a much more exciting time for VR.

As ever, we've been testing some of the very best options on the market, experimenting with games and apps to see how they perform. We test a variety of different metrics, not least their graphical prowess, how comfortable they are to wear for extended periods, and what level of compatibility they offer.
