If you’re a PC gamer you may want to consider the current leaders; Oculus Quest 2, HTC Vive Cosmos, HP Reverb G2 or the Valve Index.

P.S. There are rumors that Apple© are developing a AR/VR headset and that's said to be compatible with their next iPhone© release, although this won't drop until 2021, if at all!
