Compare VR headsets lets you inspect specifications from the device articles side by side. Choose two or three models and the fields to display, or open the complete tables. Follow each model's article for sources, test conditions and product history.
The tables below are live queries of the specification fields in each device article's infobox, so a correction made in a device article also appears here. The selection covers headsets and glasses released or opened for orders from 2023 onward. Head-to-head articles with sourced specification tables are listed under Head-to-head comparisons.
Reviewed 17 October 2026. Checked the Apple, Samsung and Sony specification pages and the Sauer et al. 2022 abstract cited here, and confirmed that every added query title is a live Device Infobox article for a 2023-2026 model and every comparison link resolves. About review dates.
Selected VR headsets
Prices may describe launch pricing or a later offer; currency, region, date and storage configuration matter. The resolution column gives per-eye pixel dimensions where recorded; Apple publishes a combined display-pixel total instead: its current technical specifications, for the M5 model, give 23 million pixels.[1] Field-of-view angles are comparable only when they use the same axis. Samsung lists separate horizontal and vertical angles for Samsung Galaxy XR (109 and 100 degrees),[2] Sony gives PlayStation VR2 a single approximate figure of 110 degrees without naming an axis,[3] and Apple's technical specifications give no field-of-view figure.[1] A published angle is also not the same as what a wearer sees. A 2022 study in Virtual Reality introduced a method that uses a super-wide-angle camera to measure the perceived field of view and its dependence on eye position and interpupillary distance; its measurements of multiple consumer VR headsets showed that manufacturers' field-of-view claims were mostly unrealistic.[4]
Weight may include a strap or an external battery. Samsung's 545 g figure for Galaxy XR covers the headset and forehead cushion,[2] while Apple lists the separate battery of the M5 model at 353 grams.[1] A blank field means that the comparison has no recorded value, not that the feature is absent. The original Apple Vision Pro and the M5 model have separate articles.

AR and smart glasses
Some smart glasses have no visual display. Compare display capabilities and supported uses before comparing numerical specifications. In this table, the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta camera glasses have no display, so their display entry says "None" and they have no field-of-view value. Each device article describes its display type.
