After all, it's great to play high octane games or watch 3D movies in the 360 ​​degree view, isn't it?

It's all possible with a good pair of VR Goggles!

Mobile VR has exploded in recent years, thanks to Google Cardboard. Google Cardboard isn't the most stylish or comfortable mobile VR headset, but at least it has helped spread mobile VR to consumers, and on a massive scale.

And surprisingly, even a lot of people were first exposed to virtual reality in general.

There are other headset alternatives for those who want to wear something more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, but at a slightly higher price of course.

Take a look at what the stores offer, and find things like Merge VR headset, a purple VR headset that offers comfortable experience and functionality with ventilation ports and a flexible foam body.

Best VR headsets your iPhone can use

To be completely fair, however, the full VR experience is no different if you take a cheap route with Google Cardboard.

If you're an iPhone fan, you can be sure you'll want to buy all of these best VR headsets, but it's all about how much comfort and settings you want for your money.

Google Cardboard

Using Google Cardboard is the cheapest way to experience VR on an iPhone.

You can get headphones for less than 10 euros, and with some of them you can get with a band and NFC so that it invokes the application on command.

Google Cardboard is primarily made of cardboard (you guessed it by the name, of course), so it's not the most comfortable headset to wear, especially over extended periods of time.

Being made from real cardboard, it's as minimal as you can get.

The premise of Google Cardboard offers a lot of experiences that range from games, to being thrown in the middle of a 360 degree video, to watching movies and even going on a rollercoaster ride.

After downloading the necessary Google Cardboard app, the initial demo will help notify you to navigate the VR space.

Google Cardboard is the best starting point for mobile VR users, and if you still want to use VR after this headset, it might be worth investing in a slightly more comfortable alternative.

Merge VR Goggles

If you're looking for an ultra-advanced VR headset and are a bit of an enthusiast, then you don't need to go further than Merge VR.

Google's rules for making a Cardboard headset for iPhone are mostly the same, but Merge VR has an edge in several ways.

While most of these headsets are made of hard plastic, the Merge VR Goggles are made of lightweight and flexible foam, and the headset can easily fit any face.

It also helps make the headset light and comfortable.

There are two-button adjustable lenses on the top of the headset to interact with the VR content, and there's even a pop-out window on the front if you want to use it for AR purposes.

With the help of dual input functionality you can simultaneously perform two different actions.

The lenses are also surprisingly clear, and the device itself fits both the regular and the Plus iPhone models.

The interesting feature of the Merge VR headset is access to the camera, so that the Merge VR headset can also be used with augmented reality apps.

The whole case is a soft foam, the design doesn't unfold, so you can put the iPhone in the top slot.

Thanks to the foam technology you can clean it up without any problems and this special design makes it very durable.

Screen compatibility is 4 "- 7". This is a solid, relatively inexpensive option for everyone.

Pasonomi VR headphones for iphone

As mentioned above, the Pasonomi VR headphones are made of high quality material, it has user-friendly design and the superior technology lets you get the best out of your 3D movies.

So, there are three qualities that stand out in Pasonomi VR headset.

Screen compatibility is 4 "- 6". It uses 42mm diameter spherical resin lens material and high quality ABS, which minimize the distortion to the bottom level when you enlarge the images and give a wider view.

The T-shaped straps make it adjustable for different needs of the users.

You will feel much more comfortable enjoying the movie or the game as the design also helps to reduce the pressure around your eyes.

It also offers you a 1000 inch large screen at a distance of 3m, giving you a super 3D image effect and a great feeling.

You can easily place your iPhone in the 3D headset and zoom forward. With the resin lens, you will not feel any visual fatigue even if you use it for a long time.

The lenses help because they are individually adjustable.

The Pasonomi VR Glasses stand out from the other options in this sector thanks to its unusual look - a black and white ABS plastic case, so this headset is stylish.

It feels sturdy, regardless of its relatively light weight of 297g and the non-magnetic closure keeps it secure.

This headset works as well as can be expected for the price point, and is built to last. And of course they just look great too.

Homodo V2 VR Headset

The original Homido VR headset from the French VR company was one of the best you could buy in 2016.

Now we have a new improved V2 headset which screen capacity is 4,5 "- 6".

The Homido VR V2 headset is a good option for iOS users who want a more premium VR experience.

It is larger than the original so you can record the latest iOS comfortably.

Not only is it larger, but the build quality has also been improved and this headset comes with its own sturdy carrying case and branded cleaning cloth.

The Homido VR headset is designed with a soft wristband so as not to irritate your skin when you wear it.

The new lenses provide an astonishing 100 degrees wide field of view with the minimal plane of blur.

In addition, the Homido VR V2 seems ideal for glasses wearers as it offers controls that allow you to adjust the distance between the lenses.

Maybe it costs a little more if you think because the average prices of VR headsets have fallen in the last year.

But you definitely get your money's worth because Homido V2 offers the most immersive VR experience of any headset tested.

Carl Zeiss VR One Plus

Carl Zeiss' experience in lens making puts this headset high on our list.

The Carl Zeiss VR One Plus headset gives you a fun VR experience with a 100-degree field of view, so it's worth it to pay the money, despite being quite expensive.

Now with VR One Plus you can experience apps and video with this wide field of view, also those who choose the Magnet Controller accessory can also control the action when attached.

The headband holds the headset comfortably in place and in a comfortable position.

The headset itself has a foam line on the back and it features two adjustable, stretchy straps, so when you put it on your head, it doesn't hurt and you feel comfortable.

The headset contains “vents”, air vents, which prevent the lenses from getting foggy.

Unlike the Carl Zeiss VR One, the VR One Plus comes with a single tray that can handle any smartphone, meaning any phone other than the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are compatible.

Great design means this headset looks stylish and modern.

View-Master VR Glasses Starter Pack

The first mobile VR glasses actually sold in Apple stores were Mattel's second View-Master but have since disappeared.

The View-Master VR has a revamped smartphone dock and can thus work with all sizes of iPhone, headphone support and improved lenses.

The screen compatibility is 5 "- 6". Today we are sold with a few designs, such as the iconic View-Master design with a modern twist.

The headset is modeled on the classic View-Masters beforehand, even down to the side sliding lever, so it's a successful combination of adult nostalgia and fun features for the new generation.

The viewer is well built and easy to set up, but the lack of a headband means it's better for shorter use.

Some users have had issues with the non-adjustable lenses, but we found the View-Master to have our iPhone screen in reasonable focus.

It is best to use the View-Master with all applications suitable for cardboard devices on the App Store and Google Play.

BoboVR Z4

The Bobo VR Z4 headsets are a refreshing attempt at trying something different from Google Cardboard's other competitors.

The lenses are adjustable and the headset fits glasses. BoboVR Z4 weighs 15 ounces and it is the best mobile headset that is not Gear VR.

The device has built-in headphones and a control button and is easy to use.

The field of view is an impressive 120 degrees and this means you get the widest view on your smartphone, but for the best experience it is recommended to use a phone with the highest resolution screen.

This headset performs well in the areas that matter most, so it's worth considering.

The screen compatibility is 4 "- 6". The build quality is quite good and the headsets provide fine control of the focus of both lenses and the device.

All of the above makes this one of our favorite headsets. And if the headphones get in your way, it's also sold in a mini version without them.

Blitzwolf BR-VR3

The most recent version of BlitzWolf's VR glasses combines comfort and function.

These iPhone virtual reality glasses offer strong quality and suitable design for long time wearing.

The front cover is magnetically bonded and can be removed to improve ventilation and keep your phone cool.

With available open sides, you can connect a pair of headphones to your mobile phone without much effort.

It is also compatible with larger phones as the rubber pads can be adjusted to fit your device without accidentally pressing the smartphone side buttons.

In any case, this is not all. Blitzwolf's headset also understands that your eyes may not be the same as other users', so it also includes individual pupil distance and focal length.

This way you can adjust how far or close the lens is to your individual eyes and up to 300 degrees of near blindness.

Lenses are upgraded to be smoother and clear. Each eye can be focused independently.

That, combined with improved soft artificial perforated leather padding around the eye area and improved lenses makes the BlitzWolf a perfect choice for iPhone's virtual reality glasses.

The only negative thing is that you have to download apps with 3D format video or watch panorama videos on YouTube as this VR cannot convert images to 3D format automatically.

All video sources can be found on Google.

Homido VR Goggles

First, these iPhone virtual reality goggles are comfortable to wear and compatible with larger phones.

One of the many advantages of using the Homido is that the headset does not allow light into the viewer itself. The screen compatibility is 4 "- 5,7".

The lenses are an essential part of any VR headset, and with Homido you get three unique cones to put them on.

Everything is made for different focal points: when you cannot see well far away, cannot see close up well and 'normal' vision.

It's ideal considering the Homido can't be worn with glasses - it's just too small for that.

So if you wear glasses, they fit you perfectly because you can adjust them. The focus points provide a 100 degree field of view.

Any device with a 5-inch 1080p resolution is recommended, but it will work with almost any phone.

Now you can enjoy impressive 360 ​​games, 3D videos, photos and unique virtual reality experiences.

Thanks to the tight-fitting headband you have your hands free to fully enjoy the VR experience and this is especially useful for games, and the soft foam that is applied along the side of this accessory feels comfortable even during long play sessions.

With regard to open-sided headsets, there are many choices. The Goggles Tech C-1 Glass folds flat, weighs just an ounce, and includes a nice little carrying case.

Plus, it's available in a few different colors if you're not into basic black.

The Google Cardboard QR code is printed on the left side of the device.

Whenever the virtual reality application asks you to press the button to start a particular function, just press the screen.

Plus, with full screen access, you'll be able to switch between applications and videos without having to take out your phone every time.

This product provides the ultimate media experience.

Please ensure this product is handled with care as it is made with glass.

The downside is that these virtual iPhone glasses are too small to have headbands, and you have to hold them with your hands.

So they are not for watching a full-length movie. However, because they are not tightly attached to your head, you can use them with your glasses.

The VR applications that require user input get a bit trickier as the headset doesn't have built-in action buttons or a built-in Bluetooth controller.

This is the only negative side if you choose this set and also exactly why it is a combination of top-of-the-line with the somewhat simpler versions.

But, on the other hand, you can already buy separate bluetooth controllers for a euro or 10.
