What I’m asking is, what is currently considered the absolute best virtual reality headset, as well as what’s anticipated to be the top choice in 2024? Assuming there’s no budget constraint, which VR headset would be the ultimate option to acquire, and why? Additionally, what would be the associated cost?

The best VR headset on the market was generally considered to be the Valve Index, known for its high-fidelity display, wide field of view, and precise tracking.

To add on that we also have the, Meta Quest 3 a standalone VR Headset, Meta Quest a budget friendly VR Headset that is comfortable when wearing, Apple Vision Pro which is a High end VR headset, Sony Play station VR2 which is a Wired Headset and lastly we have the Valve Index which @Gregory has mentioned, which is a high end VR head set. All these headsets are considered popular due to their innovative features, affordability, and ease of use.
The Quest 3 is excellent for its price. However, if money isn’t an issue and you can handle the rapid depreciation, the top-spec Vario XR4 is the best option. Beyond the obvious features like superior optics, eye tracking, and impressive passthrough with autofocus, it also has a crucial detail: inside-out tracking.
I can’t understand why base stations are still needed for PCMR headsets in 2024. I prefer not to be confined to one specific VR space, especially since wireless streaming has improved significantly with Wi-Fi 6E and modern codecs.
Apple Vision Pro, labeled as a “spatial computer” by Apple, essentially functions as an AR/VR headset. Noteworthy for its remarkable eye and hand-tracking capabilities, it offers an intuitive user experience.
I would say it is all subjective and disputed. The Quest Pro is definitely the greatest right now, in my opinion, but I don’t have the money to buy one.
For overall performance, many people recommend the popular Quest Pro or the Valve Index. However, if you’re mainly interested in simulation games, you might prefer the Reverb G2 or the Pimax Crystal.
There is no best headset. The ideal headset varies depending on your preferences and the games you play.
