While I'll admit that this is one case where you really want to cut the cord, it is still a real choice for PC VR games (played through your GPU)*. If you have a serious GPU, don't expect the internal GPUs of wireless headsets to compare. And also check if some sort of retractable ceiling mount is possible (a kludge, but connecting a wireless/meant-to-be-standalone headset to a GPU is also a bit of a kludge as well).

But it also really, really good at "sitting" simulations. But I want a reverb G3 that is wireless anyway.

* I'm an old school electrical engineer. Wires transmit both power and data amazingly well, and wireless is just iffy and keeps wanting to be recharged. But walking around blindfolded with a tether is just insane and qualifies as 'no you should never use wires in this situation'. But it really is a good headset, if sitting or you have some of ceiling mount cable management.

I have both a G2 and a Quest 2. The G2 is AMAZING for sims (racing and flight) with its beautiful screen, but I prefer the Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop for everything else. Wireless really is a game changer for the majority of VR games. I've got mine setup with a dedicated WiFi 6 router (WAX202) that I got for $30 and there is no noticeable latency or video degradation. The only time I use my G2 is for racing sims and MSFS2020.

I have this. I'd like to sell it because the black levels are terrible. You really need an oled if you are going to strap a display to your face.

This has been discussed to death in the past, but for anyone unfamiliar, this is a wired VR headset. Great display on it, so many like it for flight/racing sims or other sitting games, and this is a good price. That said, for anything else, going cordless is totally worth it.

Just depends on what you're looking to do with it. If you wanna toy around with a lot of different use cases get something you can hookup to a pc. If you're looking to just game and already have a ps5 then the psvr2 since it's not a standalone and requires the console. If you're looking for a self contained unit that won't require another machine get your self a quest 2 .
