What’s the best headset for VR porn in 2024? Meta Quest 3 takes top spot

Let's break down headsets.
Recommended headsets for watching VR Porn
The VR world moves fast. Currently, we are prioritizing all our developments around the Meta Quest 3 because of its versatility, accessibility and market prominence. The standalone headset is the current standard for the greatest number of users, which means development for tethered headsets reliant on SteamVR or other additional hardware isn't as urgent and will be given reduced priority. Don't worry... we're still working on improving support across all possible devices, like Apple Vision Pro. But while we keep up-to-speed with the ever changing VR climate, staying focused around the Meta platform-- and working outward from there-- makes the most sense for our developers and current users. To share your thoughts on our current focus, feel free to join our discussion about it in the forum.
Our #1 Pick
Meta Quest 3: currently the best-in-class option for VR porn. Boasting remarkable mixed reality passthrough capabilities, this headset provides an unparalleled level of immersion. Alongside its impressive visuals and comfort, the Meta Quest 3 comes reasonably priced, making it the most enticing option for VR porn enthusiasts. Quest 3 is capable of 120 FPS video playback which will be supported soon in a future update of the DeoVR app.
Other suitable options
Meta Quest Pro: a great but expensive option. This headset offers exceptional visuals in 10-bit video with color passthrough; a noteable improvement to its predecessor, the Quest 2. Some users have expressed concerns about comfort, which is worth considering before making the relatively steep investment. If budget is no obstacle and you crave top-notch visuals, the Meta Quest Pro is worth considering.
PICO 4: great specs and a competitive price point. It is considerably cheaper than the Meta Quest Pro while offering better graphics than the Quest 2, thanks to excellent pancake lenses. However, color passthrough on the Pico 4 is limited to mono.
Meta Quest 2 is an affordable all-in-one headset that supports 8K video, but has been outmoded by the Quest 3.
Valve Index is known for its 144/122Hz display.
Pimax Crystal QLED is a high-end PCVR headset capable of great resolution and remarkable FOV.
Apple Vision Pro is an enterprise-level VR headset with a high pricetag and limited VR porn functionality, at the moment, though improvements are on the way.
