Looking for the best VR headset for VR porn in 2024?  Here's our simple guide to the best. 

Getting the best VR porn experience

It comes down to three factors: 

  1. An up-to-date headset - we strongly recommend the Quest 3 or Quest 3S
  2. An interactive sex toy - we strongly recommend The Handy (other devices are supported)
  3. A SexLikeReal premium subscription

Let's look at the best VR headsets for VR porn. 

Recommended headsets for watching VR Porn 

Our #1 Picks

Meta Quest 3S: On sale on October 15, 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. To celebrate we have a special deal: Use promo code QUEST3S for 69% off an annual subscription. 

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.)

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. 

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.

Coming soon: 

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.

Not Recommended

We advise against using Meta's Airlink connection for PCVR. Please note that passthrough does not work via PCVR. The Passthrough AR feature can only be used on standalone headsets.
