Everyone is talking about virtual reality and VR headsets. But do you know where to start with VR? When you look at the choices today, you might feels a little overwhelmed. Consumers clearly have a lot more options to choose from than ever before.

There are quite a few VR headsets that are not too expensive, and still allow you to test the waters of virtual reality without breaking the bank.
