Which VR glasses are currently the best? – The big overview 2025
Virtual reality (VR) will reach new heights in 2025. What was once considered a vision of the future is now reality – literally. Whether gaming, product presentations, training or virtual meetings: the areas of application for VR glasses are constantly growing and have long since left the B2C world behind. Especially in the B2B sector, for example for temporary projects or events, it is becoming clear that renting VR technology is often more flexible and cost-efficient than buying it. This development naturally raises the central question:
Which VR glasses are currently the best?
In this blog post, we give you a structured overview of the best VR glasses currently available in 2025. We look at devices for different target groups and areas of application, compare the most important models and provide decision-making aids to help you decide which VR glasses are best suited to your business context. We also show you why renting virtual reality devices is a smart option, both economically and practically.
The areas of application: Why is VR so important today?
Before we get into the technical details, let’s take a look at the ever-growing areas of application for VR in everyday professional life. Particularly in the corporate environment, VR glasses for companies are used today primarily for the following purposes:
- Virtual product training and employee training
- 3D product visualizations in sales
- Virtual trade fair stands and presentations
- Training in medicine and industry
- Immersive learning environments in the education sector
- Architecture and real estate marketing
These applications require different technological standards and functions. The choice of the right VR goggles should therefore always be tailored to the specific requirements and intended use. Below we present the currently leading models – many of which you can easily rent for your next event.
Comparison of the best VR glasses (as of 2025)
The VR market is highly competitive. The best-known manufacturers – such as Meta (formerly Oculus), Apple, HTC, Sony and Varjo – are in a tight race for innovation and user-friendliness. However, special models such as the Pimax Vision 8K X for maximum image sharpness or the HTC Vive Pro 2 for professional applications will also be popular alternatives in 2025. As of 2025, the following VR glasses are among the most popular and powerful models:
Model | Resolution | Field of vision | Tracking | Price (RRP) | Target group |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Meta Quest 3 Pro | 4,320 × 2,200 pixels | 110° | Inside-Out (6DoF) | 999 € | Gaming, education, company presentation |
Apple Vision Pro 2 | 4K per eye (Micro-OLED) | 120° | Inside-Out with LiDAR | 3.799 € | Professional working, design, remote collaboration |
Varjo XR-5 | 3,840 × 2,160 pixels (real-time passthrough) | 115° | Outside-In (SteamVR) | 6.000 € | Industry, research, medicine |
HTC Vive XR Elite | 2,880 × 1,600 pixels in total | 110° | Inside-Out | 1.399 € | Company, prototyping, training |
Sony PS VR2 | 2,000 × 2,040 pixels per eye | 110° | Inside-Out | 599 € | Gaming, event marketing |
Away from the big brands, professional VR headsets such as the HTC Vive Pro 2 or the mobile HTC Vive Focus 3 offer extremely flexible application options for companies, research and training. The choice is huge – both in terms of price range and functionality.
Technical innovations 2025 – what’s new in VR
2025 is a year full of innovations on the VR market. Numerous advances will ensure a better user experience:
- Passthrough mode in color: Modern VR glasses such as the Apple Vision Pro 2 offer a high-resolution color passthrough mode that realistically reproduces mixed reality applications.
- Eye and hand tracking: Interaction without a controller is on the rise. Eye control enables new applications such as eye contact in virtual meetings or precise menu navigation.
- Modular accessories: New headsets allow flexible extensions (e.g. face sensors or motion capturing kits), and devices such as the HTC Vive Focus 3 in particular support innovative setups for companies and research.
- Improved ergonomics: Lighter materials and automatically adjustable lenses ensure longer wearing comfort – crucial for training courses or longer presentations.
Renting instead of buying: The clever VR strategy for companies
For companies, the question often arises: buying or renting? Purchasing modern VR hardware can be expensive – especially for devices such as the Varjo XR-5 or Apple Vision Pro 2. Renting the latest VR glasses is a smart alternative here.
Advantages of VR rental from a professional technology rental company:
- Cost savings: No high investment in hardware, ideal solution for temporary projects, events or test scenarios.
- Flexibility: Choice of various top devices – from entry-level models to high-end glasses such as the Pimax Vision 8K X with an extremely wide field of vision.
- Current models: access to the latest VR goggles on the market, such as the HTC Vive Pro 2 – without bearing the risk of storage and maintenance.
- Technical support: Professional service and instruction included – ideal for smooth use in the company.

What you should look out for when choosing the best VR glasses
Depending on the application, different criteria are decisive. The most important selection factors include
- Resolution: The higher the resolution, the clearer the picture – models such as the Pimax Vision 8K X are particularly suitable for detailed applications.
- Tracking technology: Do you need inside-out (free-standing without sensors) or a precise outside-in system? The HTC Vive Pro 2, for example, uses SteamVR tracking for maximum precision.
- Compatibility: Does content have to run on Windows, macOS or with special software?
- Wearing comfort: Crucial for longer sessions – pay attention to weight, fit and eyewear compatibility.
- Budget framework: Not every app or project justifies high-end hardware – choose according to the situation.
