Which VR glasses for the PC? – The comprehensive guide for companies in 2025
In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has developed from a niche product to a pioneering technology in many business areas. Demand and the variety of applications are increasing rapidly, particularly in the B2B sector. Whether for training, simulations, product presentations or architectural visualizations – VR glasses for rental have become indispensable tools for modern companies.
But which VR headset is currently the best choice for PCs in 2025 – especially for business customers who don’t want to make a purchase investment but want to benefit from flexible rental solutions? In this article, we give you a comprehensive overview of the best VR headsets currently available for PCs, their special features and what you should look out for when making your choice.
Why VR is becoming increasingly important for companies
The potential uses of virtual reality in the business environment are constantly growing. Thanks to increasingly powerful hardware and better software ecosystems, VR is no longer just a real added value for innovative start-ups, but also for established companies. The immersion and interactivity make VR the top technology for:
- Training under realistic conditions (e.g. safety or machine operation training)
- Product demonstrations without physical prototypes
- Virtual showrooms and presentations at events
- Architectural and industrial design visualization
- Remote collaboration and virtual meeting rooms
Easy integration, high compatibility and professional performance are particularly important when renting VR glasses for companies and technology for short-term business use (events, trade fairs, workshops).
Standalone vs. PC-connected VR glasses – which is better for companies?
Before we look at the best VR headsets for PC, it’s important to understand the difference between standalone and PC-connected headsets:
Feature | PC-connected VR glasses | Standalone VR glasses |
---|---|---|
Performance | High (depending on PC) | Limited by integrated hardware |
Mobility | Dependent on the PC (mostly stationary) | Mobile and wireless |
Compatibility with applications | Open (SteamVR, Windows Mixed Reality etc.) | Limited to native apps or streaming |
Ease of use | Requires cables, more complex setup | Plug & play, but limited range of functions |
Target group | Professional users with high demands | Beginners, training, presentation on-the-go |
PC-connected VR glasses are the first choice for most professional applications with high demands on graphics and performance. They can be combined with modern Windows PCs or notebooks (usually via USB-C or DisplayPort) and offer the greatest flexibility in terms of software selection.

This will make your VR project a success anytime and anywhere.
