Let's look at the best VR headsets for VR porn.
Recommended headsets for watching VR Porn
Our #1 Picks
Meta Quest 3S: The Quest 3S packs in nearly all the awesome features of the Quest 3 but with notable improvements - most importantly a much lower price and longer battery life. It works straight out of the box with SLR and advanced features such as passthrough and haptics. This is easily the best option for anyone looking for a VR headset for VR porn.
Meta Quest 3: Apart from the 3S, this is the top option for VR porn. It has lighter, slimmer pancake lenses than the Quest 3S and Quest 2, and the body is slimmer. Boasting remarkable full-color mixed reality passthrough capabilities, this headset provides an unparalleled level of immersion. It has impressive visuals and comfort, and a reasonable price - meaning the Meta Quest 3 is the most enticing option for VR porn enthusiasts. (If you don't mind thicker lenses then the 3S is the better option due to its lower price point.)
Headset browser hub is a great choice
We have massively upgraded the SLR VR headset browser hub, and now many of the amazing SLR features can be accessed directly from your VR headset web browser. Try it out in your headset by opening exchangecity.ru/hub or simply opening exchangecity.ru on your Quest. AI passthrough for Quest headsets is not functional but most other features are.
Apple Vision Pro is an enterprise-level VR headset and you can access the SLR library using the headset browser hub in Safari. It's a great solution for accessing SLR's huge library on your Apple Vision Pro at the very highest visual quality (please note that passthrough is not yet accessible by this method).
AV1 video playback officially live at SLR
This advanced new codec is fully supported at SLR and our video library is currently being converted to AV1 - this means better quality, with around 30% lower bitrate than the HEVC codec. This means more efficient streaming and lower memory costs. It works great with the Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets and the Apple Vision Pro (via the Safari browser). Find out more at the dedicated AV1 blog.
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.
PSVR2: You need to purchase a dongle to use the PSVR2 as a PCVR HMD. OLED screens means pitch-black blacks and improved brightness, but the lenses and other elements are better on the Quest 3. There are known issues with the controllers meaning the PS5 gamepad must be used to navigate SLR via DeoVR.
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.
Coming soon:
Samsung XR Headset: Samsung's new VR headset, codename 'Project Moohan', uses Android XR and comes out in 2025. It looks to have excellent passthrough capabilities. Read our full report to discover how Samsung's VR headset will work with VR porn.
PICO 4 Ultra: The newer version of the excellent PICO 4 currently has compatibility issues. We are working on a fix but have no ETA as yet - check back soon for an update.
