DESTEK V4 VR Headset

The DESTEK V4 VR Headset is one of the most popular choices at the moment. It has over 300 customer reviews and 200 answered questions on Amazon.

If you are not in the 62 IPD range of the lenses, you will have to use the Sites in VR app to create a custom profile or you will feel cross-eyes.

Once that was set, it is a joy to use. According to the manufacturer – who is awesome in terms of support – you can solve the fogging issue using a solution of 10 parts water and 1 part dish soap, apply with the microfabric clothe and let dry to create an anti-fogging coating.

Advantages

High picture quality
Well built for regular use
Anti-blue light filter for better image quality
Light weight
Works with iPhone 7 Plus

Disadvantages

Lens fogging is a royal pain
The headset lacks an alignment guide to make sure your phone is centered correctly
