The first thing that should be considered when buying VR headsets is the size. The bigger the headset,the harder it will get to use it. Bigger isn’t always better. A smaller size is better as it only occupies your eye’s area and leaves enough space over on your face. Good news is that with newer lens technologies, the sizes seem to be going down. To improve your experience, go for the smaller one.

Weight

Aeration

To ensure that you this doesn’t spoil your usage experience, get a VR headset that is well ventilated to allow the escape of moisture and flow of fresh air.

Lenses

The bigger the viewing angle of the lenses, the better you will be able to watch using the device. Most common headsets come with a 90 degrees viewing angle, but newer lenses with 120 degrees of viewing angle have been on the rise.

Headsets

A nice addition to the VR headset will be inbuilt headsets. This will make it easier for you to watch media content without having to rely on separate headphones.
