About these results. They compare published specifications. They can't tell you whether a headset suits a particular person, body or condition. Try before you buy where you can, and if VR is part of therapy, involve the treating clinician or OT.

Sources and method

Each value comes from the maker's own pages where possible, otherwise from a named secondary source. Prices change: they were last checked 29 October 2026 and are the most recent Australian price we could find from a named source. Ranking counts how many of your choices each headset meets per its sources (a partial match counts half). "Not stated" never counts as a match.
