Headset Finder VR Headset Finder · Specs checked 29 October 2026 # Find the headset that fits how you'll use it. - 4 headsets, 8 practical needs - Every value linked to its source - “Not stated” never counts as a yes ## Matches Showing all 4 headsets. Choose what matters to rank them. - Stated by source - Partly, or with conditions - Not offered, per source - Not stated by maker - App : Also depends on each app ### Headset features vs app support The ratings describe the headset. For these needs, each app or game also has to support you: - **Seated play.** Each app sets its own play modes (seated, standing or roomscale). Check the app’s store listing before you buy it. - **Input without handheld controllers.** Each app decides whether it supports hand tracking or voice. Some apps still need controllers. - **Visual adjustment and vision features.** Lens spacing and system vision features are headset-level. Text size, captions and contrast inside an app are up to that app. 1. ### Meta Quest 3S RRP $569 (128 GB) as listed in late Oct 2026; check Meta for current pricing Seated play : Stated by source.

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. - [Quest 3S vs Quest 3 vs Quest 2 Compared with Detailed Specs](https://roadtovr.com/quest-3s-quest-3-quest-2-specs-compared/) — Road to VR - [Set up your boundary for Meta Quest](https://www.meta.com/help/quest/463504908043519/) — Meta - [Boundary (OVRBoundary): stationary and roomscale experiences](https://developers.meta.com/horizon/documentation/unity/unity-ovrboundary/) — Meta Horizon developer documentation - [Meta Quest 3S deals and listed RRP ($569, 128 GB, Amazon AU listing of 27 Oct 2026)](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/meta-quest-3s) — OzBargain - [The Meta Quest 3 just got a permanent price drop in Australia ($799.99, 512 GB)](https://press-start.com.au/news/2024/09/30/meta-quest-3-price-drop-australia/amp/) — Press Start (Sept 2024) - [An update on Meta Quest pricing (16 Apr 2026: prices changed in some markets)](https://www.meta.com/blog/update-meta-quest-pricing/) — Meta - [Apple Vision Pro – Tech Specs](https://support.apple.com/en-au/117810) — Apple - [Using Apple Vision Pro with vision prescriptions and vision conditions](https://support.apple.com/en-us/120052) — Apple - [Get started with accessibility features on Apple Vision Pro](https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-vision-pro/get-started-with-accessibility-features-tan426c48bdc/visionos) — Apple - [How to safely use your Apple Vision Pro](https://support.apple.com/en-us/118507) — Apple - [Apple's Vision Pro arrives in Australia July from $5999](https://www.pickr.com.au/news/2024/apples-vision-pro-arrives-in-australia-july-from-5999/) — Pickr (July 2024) - [PlayStation VR2 tech specs](https://www.playstation.com/en-id/ps-vr2/ps-vr2-tech-specs/) — Sony Interactive Entertainment - [How to change your PS VR2 play area on PS5 consoles](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps-vr2-play-area/) — Sony Interactive Entertainment - [The new cheaper PlayStation VR2 price is now available in Australia](https://press-start.com.au/news/playstation/2025/03/05/the-new-cheaper-playstation-vr2-price-is-now-available-in-australia/) — Press Start (March 2025)
