For something that is priced at £20, the Archos VR is not exactly the very best but does demand some class. It is a bit of plastic that makes you look odd wearing it like other VR headsets. With a couple of rubber straps for binding it to the head, Archos VR brings some curve to place the nose and thus set it easily to bridge in the eyes. The couple of lenses, for each eye have to be easy on the eyes although they need some adjustment. There is no room for spectacles or glasses though. It is expandable to hold any type of smartphone, with which can be opened in four directions.

With VR experiences clogging the market, Merge VR can be used to meet the gigantic experience level that is set for the pricey Oculus Rift. Additionally, it is very easy to clean and can be used by many people too.
At a price of just $99, this is a very handy VR for those interested in exploring the VR world.
5) Zeiss VR One
Zeiss VR One is a terrific VR headset which includes a smartphone tray with an accurate positioning of the smartphone in proximity to the lens.
