Today’s VR technology is a lot more approachable than in years past, and manufacturers are offering top VR headset setups at affordable prices.

Speaking of connectivity, it works flawlessly across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S (which will be a running theme in this list), which means you're not buying separate headsets for different platforms.

PlayStation VR2 Headset Bundle with Horizon Call of the Mountain (sale price, $349.99; regular price, $549.99). Pulse Elite wireless headset for PS5 ($129.99, regular price, $149.99).

The Pulse Elite headset is elegant to some degree (no big microphone sticking out), but also oddly shaped and monolithic just like the PS5. So yeah, of course it's a match made in heaven.
