Hi guys, wasn't sure which section to put this so decided this one may be most suitable

My favourite band is doing a VR concert using the AMAZEVR platform very shortly and I would love to enjoy it

I've never really dabbled with VR headsets and to be perfectly honest it's not something I want to get heavily involved with

Now I see some headsets cost hundreds, some thousands and then I see some on the likes of Ali that are cheap as chips

Budget is very tight just now but I was wondering what would be a decent VR headset that would get the job done? I doubt I'll be gaming on it or anything but like the idea of exploring metaverse at some point in the future

As for hardware... I have a couple of Linux based PC's and a Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 (Android 13 or 14 i think)

Thanks in advance.

Meta Quest or the Oculus are quite good.

Quest 2 was awesome... For a while! The novelty does wear off but is a cheaper option not to use your phone? Can you still buy those headset things they sit in? I tried that a few years ago and for what you want I'd say look into them!

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
