Cheapest Virtual Reality Headset- Xiaomi Mi VR Headset

August 9, 2016 by Shrey 4 Comments

Xiaomi recently announced its new VR headset and it has been on talks for a while now.Made out of Lycra and with a zipper to insert your phone, Xiaomi’s Mi VR headset looks like a modified version of Google Cardboard and coming from Xiaomi this headset is worth a try.It is made out of Lycra which implies must be pretty comfortable to wear.

The company has released it’s headset for the beta testers and claims that about a million people signed up in the first 8 hours after the registrations was opened for the beta testing, however they only chose a couple of tens of thousands enabling few people the hands on experience of the Xiaomi Mi VR headset.

The Xioami Mi VR headset is going to be pretty cheap once the consumer version comes out, however for the beta testers the price was just 20 cents and this price wont last long once the consumer version is out.It can easily accommodate any phone between 4.7 inches to 5 inches and is made with the intention to make it available to a larger section of people.

Many people claim that the Xioami MI VR headset can get into the competition of the VR headsets once it is out and in a few places had it compared with the Oculus Rift as well! I’m not sure about that comparison though until I get my hands on this VR headset and only with time we would all be able to see how good enough it is in the competition.

    I like the idea of a zipper to encapsulate the phone. I have had a couple of VR headsets. One was that new View Master they started selling. It has no way to strap it to your face, but it’s surprisingly good. The other one I had is made of foam rubber and is okay, but it’s always a hassle to slide the phone in. This zipper headset seems like the better choice.

      HI Roman

      Yes, the zipper is something new in the VR headset world, like I have never seen a headset which hold the phone with the zipper, I guess that would make the design a little bit more tricky,however we need to wait and watch to see how good the final product comes out !

    Hi there!
    Wow this looks really interesting! I especially love the fact that it comes in so many different designs! Very cute, I might have to look in to getting myself one of these babies! Will have to wait for it to go down in price a little first though! Haha.

      Hi Sarah

      I do agree they have done a lot with the designs to suit everyone’s taste and to be honest that is pretty important and I really like the fact that they would be cheap and I would estimate the cost to be around $25 so for me that is pretty good enough!
