Hello, [H]orde!
Wanting to get my boys (15 and 16 YO) a VR headset for PC gaming (maybe XB1 compatible, if that's a thing) if it's even capable, but I know jack-squat about the tech.
Not looking to break the bank, so maybe around $300 max.
Their PC specs are so-so:

I bought a p3 microphone that came bundled with a p3 to p2 adapter. It works fine on the phone, without the adapter. But when I plug it into the pc(using the adapter, ofc) I hear nothing but static noises come out of the mic. Windows detects it as a mic and it does pick up sound, since the bar...
I have an Oculus Rift S that is in excellent condition. I purchased it a few months ago from Best Buy (will include original receipt). I've probably used it for about 10 hours total. I still have everything that came with the retail package.
Included:
Oculus Rift S Heaset

Hardware Canucks has reviewed the $400 Audeze Mobius premium 3D gaming headset. The reviewer loved the 3D mode for movies, but didn't see the point in it for gaming. He also noted the decreased sound quality in 3D mode. The 3D tracking would lose the headphone's position and was entirely too...

According to FCC filings, the upcoming HTC Vive Cosmos will not be a wireless headset. The 2.402-2.48 GHz frequencies used by the Cosmos are the same as what the Vive and Vive Pro devices use to connect wireless controllers to the headsets. A HTC representative told UploadVR that on "day one"...

The Samsung HMD Odyssey+ VR headset is $299 at Microsoft. It is the same price at Samsung. Samsung has a student discount also I believe, but YMMV. Go to the Samsung link for all the stats on the headset.

Logitech Artemis Spectrum G933 7.1 Wireless Headset Review
In our recent discussions about wireless headsets, the Logitech G933 has come up lately as one of the headsets to surely be on your $100 short list. So we bought a set, and have done a good bit gaming, movie watching, and music...
We have the new Alienware Wireless Gaming Headset, model number AW988, in hand and took the time to show it off in the video below before we started testing. It will get a good workout this weekend playing some Hunt Showdown.
Check out the video.
The dial on the headset that I could not...
We love a good headset when it comes to gaming. It has been 9 years since Alienware has produced a new gaming headset, and today is the day it breaks that trend. The new AW988 set touts 7.1 virtual sound, 2.4GHz USB wireless connectivity, up to 15 hours battery life, fold-up mic mute, and of...
We have spent a lot of time with the new Corsair HS70 gaming headset over the last month and came away impressed, and disappointed all at the same time.
If you are a gamer, which we know most HardOCP readers are, a good headset is likely your lifeline in any online game when it comes to...
Corsair HS70 Wireless Headset Review
If you are a gamer, which we know most HardOCP readers are, a good headset is likely your lifeline in any online game when it comes to communicating with your teammates or even your adversaries. We have been using Corsair's new HS70 for a month now and...
any place i can buy a short stereo-mini (3.5mm) type mic, short, semirigid (e.g. 6" length extension) ? I have a headset but the mic became detached and is missing. I see a similar concept (for example) with this shure mic...
Just when you thought nothing could ever surprise you again I offer up this "unique" use of VR technology brought to us by those crazy Japanese inventors. Case in point is a VR headset that has an arm on it that will feed you candy while displaying your favorite Japanese idol handing you the...
What would be the best and most economical way to drive my audiophile-grade headphones on the Xbox One and Xbox 360 console for a novice? Most 'gaming' headsets seem so underwhelming in performance and any that have a mix amp or base station typically have a few presets on the EQ which is why I...
Apple Inc., seeking a breakthrough product to succeed the iPhone, aims to have technology ready for an augmented-reality (WARNING auto play video) headset in 2019 and could ship a product as early as 2020. With Samsung and other pushing AR it's really only a matter of time before we get these...
My Creative Labs wireless headset has just broken at one of the swivel joints. So I need a replacement. The CL headset has served me well but it's a basic wireless headset and I want something better. So recommend me something. It must be wireless and it must be durable. I will trade lower audio...
Hopefully we can expect some sort of variant of this WiGig (Wireless Gigabit) HTC Vive headset in the first half of 2018. I have spent countless hours with the Vive headset on, and I can assure you, that while the wired headset in manageable, if I could go wireless, I certainly would. The huge...
Rowdy Ryan Shrout has a quick write-up on Google's newest Daydream standalone headset. If you have used any of the VR headsets that use your phone for a screen in the past, you have likely found that the experience can be less than good. Many of these devices overheat while using as well. And...
I need a mic to talk to friends when I am playing games, but I hate using over the ear headsets; for me, they are uncomfortable, they give me a headache, and they hurt my ears after a while. My problem is that over the ear headsets are the only way I know of to have a sidetone, I cannot use a...

This just in, virtual reality can be harmful to your health. Well, at least if you are this guy it can be. Go ahead, point and laugh, he has a headset on so he can't see you anyway.
Sony has updated its PSVR FAQ today. One of the big questions addressed by the update is the subject of bright light or light reflected off shiny surfaces. Apparently intense light can interfere with the tracking of the LEDs on the headset.
Ambient lighting will generally not affect PS VR...
It is now a proven fact that virtual reality can help teach teens about the dangers of distracted driving. I know it sounds gimmicky and expensive (neither of which are true) but now that there is concrete statistical evidence proving that it works, school districts around the country should...
I don't care how cool these VR glasses may look, it's the name that is keeping me from putting one in my face. The company might as well go all out and name the accessories stuff like "cybrator" for haptic feedback and headphones named "ear entry."

Hello,
I did not know where to put this, but I need help getting the right side of my headset to work. I recently got this headset and have been trying to get the right side to work. I've gone to the control panel > manage audio devices > the device I am using > properties > level > balance to...
The crew at iFixit got their grubby little mitts on an HTC Vive and promptly tore into it. The headset got pretty high marks for repairability even though the parts are very delicate and it does use glue in some important areas.
I already posted this in the Phone subforum, but got no responses. Locked it and now posting it here...
Budget is preferably =/< $40.
Yes I want them to be IEM. Yes I want a mic. Yes I want noise cancelling and not just noise isolation. This is for plane trips. Nothing annoys me more than...
I've been waiting for the crew at iFixit to get their hands on the consumer version of the Oculus Rift and tear into it. Overall it looks fairly easy to get into but some of the stuff on the inside looks pretty delicate. I found it a bit odd that you have to cut through the fabric on the headset...
On Monday I ran an endurance gauntlet of VR demos: 10 games, 30 minutes each, one after the other
It was a showcase of all the Oculus Rift’s launch games, many of which I really liked...but it also brought up a question I’ve had for a while about VR: can you endure being immersed in it for more...
