Samsung Gear VR is unfair to all the iPhone users, LOL! It is one of the best premium mobile VR headsets that we have for android phones leaving all the iPhone users behind with fewer premium VR headset options. However, we do have a few budget VR headsets for iPhones as well but it does not go as long as the Gear VR when it comes to giving users a quality VR experience.
Apart from the same usual rant on my blog about the Gear VR’s limited compatibilty, let’s look at a few best budget VR headsets for iPhones that are available right now and you might as well get it for a really affordable price. So without any further ado, let’s get started-

1. Merge VR
Price: $59.99
Best Buy: www.amazon.com
The instant I used it, I fell in love with it. This VR headset is made up of a polymer which gives it a deformable texture. You can drop it, smash it, even throw it and still end up with a perfectly working VR headset (although that does not mean you throw it off a cliff and test its durability.
The material that the VR headset is made up of is no doubt interesting and the VR headset does have a lot of quality content and other apps to support it. There is a lot of content to be seen in the Merge VR and the dedicated app of this VR headset is pretty awesome as well.
It has a pretty great Field of View which gives you an excellent immersive VR experience. It may be slightly expensive compared to the cheaper VR headsets but is totally worth your money.

3.Homido VR headset

4. Xiaomi VR headset
Price: $14.99
Best Buy: www.amazon.com
Amazon Ratings: 3.9/5
The headset is made up of Lycra which is light in weight and proves to be comfortable when the headset is worn.The headset has three-way adjustable straps making the VR headset made up of lycra stay in place instead of being sloppy.
The headset is very light weighing about 200 grams making it lighter than the hottest selling VR product Gear VR which weighs about 325 grams.The Xiaomi VR headset developers promised an FOV of 95 degrees and it is in that range(almost 95). In the case of phones with smaller screen sizes, you might be able to see the corners of the phone which don’t help to make the experience immersive.
however, even after the minor drawback, this VR headset is perfect for someone who is looking for a small upgrade over the Google Cardboard since it is a cheap VR headset with more added features in comparison to the Cardboard.
