The virtual reality headsets that will rock your 2016 — and beyond

As press at CES, you don’t so much cover the entire show floor like at other events, as much as you lay claim to a specific chunk of turf and roam that section for the entire duration of the show. If you’re lucky, by the end of the week you’ll have seen 1/10th of what CES has to offer. This year, seeing as almost no gaming stuff was going down at CES, I claimed the virtual reality section as my CES home away from home.

While roaming my surroundings, I ran into a ton of different mobile (used with a smartphone) and tethered (attached to a computer) virtual reality headsets. I didn’t have enough time in the day to get a full on demo of each one, but I could at least attach every chunk of hardware to my face and give it a quick fit n’ feel test. I’ve compiled a list of the ones that stood out the most.
