What headset to choose for VR porn? A beginner’s guide

Alex Novak

Are you new to VR porn and curious about what headset to get? We'd recommend the Oculus Quest 2 from Facebook - it’s an all-in-one headset that works wirelessly but can also be connected via a cable to your desktop. The brand new Oculus Quest 2nd generation seems to be the best choice for porn. This model natively supports 8K videos, the highest video resolution currently available.

Other recommended VR headsets include the following Windows desktop powered models: Valve Index, HP Reverb G2 and Pimax 8K. For a desktop set-up, you will need a system compatible with the Nvidia 10xx/20xx/30xx range of graphics cards (these have the same video decoding specs). Nvidia 30xx has the same video decoding specs as previous generation, providing no advantage for video playback unless AV1 support. 

You might like to get xBox controller to watch videos like a Pro with extended controller mapping offered by SLR app. You can take full control of how you watch the videos with a click of your fingertips.

Once you have your headset, simply launch the SLR app. This app will play the best video format for your headset with a single click. No additional downloads or settings adjustments are required. You can also connect interactive sex toys like Kiiroo Onyx+ or The Handy. These replicate the action you see in the video for you intimately.

Enjoy the world of VR porn!

P.S. We strongly advise against Cardboard, iPhone, PSVR, Daydream and GearVR headsets. These are not recommended at all due to poor performance, lack of connectivity or simply not being suitable for VR. Any phone-based headset is not suitable for VR compared to dedicated VR headsets.

GPU is recommended with USB-C port.
