Finally, here's a headset you can use to watch VR travel videos while actually traveling. This little item folds up flat, weighs just one ounce, and comes with its own carrying case. Plus, it works with any late-model Android phone or iPhone and comes in different colors, if you don't like standard black.

If you don't like this one, there are plenty of other folding, open-sided headsets to choose from, some of them starting at under $10.
