Top 7 best VR headsets for iPhone users

1. Google Cardboard ($16.99)

A quick and low cost entry into virtual reality doesn't come much cheaper than an iPhone compatible Cardboard kit. Available for under $20 you get a strap and NFC technology that powers up the app on demand. They're a bit fiddly to make and they're going to fall apart after a while, but there's no easier way to jump into VR.

2. View-Master DLX VR ($40)

Mattel's second View-Master mobile VR headset will be the first to actually be sold in Apple stores. The DLX VR has a redesigned smartphone mount to work with more sizes of iPhone, as well as Android, headphone support and upgraded lenses from the first attempt. The best bit? It's modelled on the iconic View-Master design with slightly more of a modern twist for this second edition. Coming soon.

3. Carl Zeiss VR One GX ($120)

Most mobile VR headsets are simply a plastic case and a couple of lenses – hence the logic behind the super cheap Cardboard style devices. So Carl Zeiss' experience in making lenses puts it high on our list. The newest model, the VR One GX, goes one better than the original headset by adding a magnetic control that attaches to the side and lets you interact with the app.

However, there's no head strap, and if you're an iPhone 6 Plus owner then you'll need the bigger VR One Plus instead. Also note that the headset sometimes isn't sold with the right tray for your handset – so make sure you get one.

4. FreeFly VR ($79.99)

Going one better than Homido, the FreeFly VR headset offers 120-degree field of view, and even has its own Bluetooth games controller for better control of your virtual reality games. It's compatible with Android and iOS devices between 4.7-inch and 6.1-inch, which puts all the latest devices in its sights.

5. Homido Virtual Reality Headset ($79.99)

Upping the tech stakes, the Homido VR headset offers 100-degree field of view, and is compatible with the iPhone 5S to date. It's also suitable for glasses wearers with space for specs inside the faux leather, interchangeable seal. If headsets aren't really your thing then Homido also makes a pair of VR glasses, although the effect will be far less pronounced than an HMD.

6. Xiaomi Mi VR Play ($16)

The Mi VR Play is super cheap and if you can spend more, we suggest you do. But if you're really on a budget and you just want to see what all the fuss about, you could also do worse. The Mi VR Play comes in a bunch of jazzy styles and your iPhone just slots into the front zipped section – there's no faffing with connections. It works with any phone from 4.7-inch to 5.7-inch.

7. Tepoinn 3D VR glasses ($29.99)

At the other end of the VR headset spectrum is the Tepoinn, which comes in at under $30. Of course, basic plastic rules here so anyone investing will have to acknowledge a less rigid set-up – shall we say. That said, it accommodates iPhone 6 and 6 Plus handsets, and unlike a cheap-as-chips cardboard set-up, you can adjust the lenses for a clearer view.
