Best Affordable VR Headsets for Porn

VR porn has been an amazing thing, ever since we came to know that we can get close enough to ‘almost’ feel the breath of our favourite pornstar. The operative word being ‘almost.’ However, that’s why the entire thing’s virtual. But still watching life-size porn is much better than on a 13-inch screen. That’s why headsets like Oculus Go, PSVR and HTC Vive generate so much fanfare and interest. 

Also, there’s the 3D stereoscopic thing and binaural sound to make it all the better. But the primary requirement for a great VR porn experience is a great VR headset. The best in the business cost enough to eat away half your salary (I’m a poor man! Don’t judge me), but affordable premium headsets offer you a premium VR experience without severely depleting your bank balance.

But which one is better? Oculus GO Porn or PlayStationVR Porn? And, which one is the better option for watching VR porn? Let’s find out.

The Oculus Go is a standalone unit which offers 32GB and 64GB storage options. It houses a wide quad, fast switching LCD screen and comes with a hand-held controller as well. The basic point of difference between Oculus Go and other VR headsets is that it is a standalone option. PSVR needs PlayStation console, while Rift, HTC Vive and Windows Mixed Reality need to be tethered to PCs. 

Google Cardboard and Samsung GearVR need to use smartphones in order to work. Oculus Go is the only standalone option to enjoy VR content right now. But that doesn’t necessarily win the battle. In order to be the device of choice, we need to consider visual quality, tracking, minimum requirements, and memory.

Visual Quality: PSVR Porn vs Oculus GO Porn

Visual quality is depended on a number of factors - FOV, resolution, screen quality, and pixel density. The field of view offered by PSVR is 110 degrees while Oculus Go offers 100-degree FOV. The difference might not be much, but still, more is always better. 

Coming to resolution, PSVR offers a 1920x1080p resolution, but the Oculus Go outperforms vastly offering 2560x1440. That means the clarity in the image is likely to better and the colours are supposed to be sharper with the Oculus Go. The pixel density is directly correlated with the screen resolution and is

PSVR beats Oculus on screen quality sporting an AMOLED display while the Go comes with a WQHD LCD. By sheer screen quality, PSVR is better, but the screen does not control your visual quality alone. Thanks to the higher pixel density and resolution, Oculus Go wins it hands-down when viewing videos in VR.

Body and Head Tracking

Tracking is a significant aspect of interactive virtual reality experience. It mainly comes into play when you’re playing games. The PSVR comes with PlayStationVR camera and other sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) to allow body tracking. Body tracking allows you the VR environment to register your body movements and reproduce them in a game environment. 

As of now, VR porn needs no body tracking. Head tracking is all that you need and Oculus Go comes equipped with that. So, while PSVR wins this round, it’s almost irrelevant where VR porn is concerned.

Minimum Requirements

Like I mentioned before, Oculus Go is a standalone unit. Contrastingly, PSVR only works when tethered to a PlayStation console. That requires you to spend significantly. While it is good for playing games, watching videos and more, it’s not really required for watching VR porn. The controllers on PSVR offer multiple uses but again coming to VR porn, they remain irrelevant. That’s why Oculus Go wins this round as well.

Memory

The PlayStation 4 sports a massive 500GB internal storage. That good enough for approximately 80 full-full-length feature videos. The Go really slouches in this department with 32GB and 64GB being the only option. PSVR wins this round hands-down.

Conclusion: Oculus GO or PSVR for adult content?

Both PSVR and Oculus Go are great VR headsets. The Go beats PSVR on resolution, image quality and portability, while the PSVR outperform Go on memory and versatility. However, for VR porn itself, the clarity is an essential part of immersion. PSVR Porn clarity suffers greatly due to the reduced resolution. Also, you need a whole PlayStation console to use the PSVR. That’s why I choose Oculus Go the best for VR porn, if you want a premium experience.
