Daydream View

The Google Daydream View is first up on our list and is one of the best virtual reality headsets available today for the Google Pixel 3 XL. Google made the Daydream View for the Pixel line, so you’re going to get the most seamless virtual reality experience with this headset. On top of that, the Daydream View is one of the most comfortable-feeling virtual reality headsets on the market right now — it’s lightweight, comfortable, and has the perfect weight distribution when your Pixel 3 XL is inside.

Daydream View is nice because it has a ton of content inside of it — there are endless amounts of content available to watch, whether on Netflix, Hulu, or even YouTube. Daydream has tons of games available to play as well.

Lenovo Mirage Solo

The Lenovo Mirage Solo comes in as second up on our list and is one of the headsets on this list that is an all-in-one VR headset. That means you don’t need to insert your phone inside to use the virtual reality capabilities. Download the Mirage Solo app on your phone, connect it up with the headset, and you’re ready to start experiencing the world of virtual reality. Lenovo’s Mirage Solo uses the Daydream world, so you still get access to tons of videos, movies, TV shows, games, and so much more.

We like the Mirage Solo because, even though it is heavier since all of the hardware is inside it, it’s still comfortable, even during longer virtual reality sessions.

Oculus GO

Next up on our list are the markers that started at all — Oculus. They have their own mobile virtual reality headset called the Oculus GO, which is an all-in-one solution. Just download the Oculus GO app to your Pixel 3 XL, pair it up with the headset, and you can immediately enter Oculus’ world of virtual reality after putting the headset on and powering it up. The Oculus GO is especially nice because you don’t have to use motion tracking to navigate through menus — you can just use the remote to navigate around the user interface.

VeeR Oasis

Next up on our list is the VeeR Oasis. This is a little different than the all-in-one solutions on our list in that it requires your smartphone in front of the built-in lenses to enter virtual reality. The nice thing about this is that your smartphone is essentially the power behind the VR, which means the VeeR Oasis is a lot cheaper to get into when compared to the all-in-one VR headsets.

The VeeR Oasis also comes with a remote, so you can use it to easily navigate through the menus of the virtual reality world, rather than use the awkwardness that is head tracking. The VeeR Oasis will work with the Pixel 3 XL, as well as a wide variety of other phones.

VR Elegiant

Next up on our list, we have the VR Elegiant. This is a fantastic virtual reality headset for those who are on a budget or even those who don’t want to spend all their cash on an expensive all-in-one virtual reality headset. The neat thing about the VR Elegiant is the versatility of it — it works with a wide range of styles of smartphones, but also supports phones on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. The Elegiant has plenty of content, as there are well over 300 apps to choose from.

Verdict

There are tons of virtual reality headsets available on the market for the Google Pixel 3 XL, as you can see, but which one do you choose? If you’re looking for the best of the best, the Lenovo Mirage Solo is easily the way to go, or even the Oculus GO if you don’t like the Daydream experience. But, if you don’t want to spend too much money, the Daydream View is a good option as well as the VeeR Oasis.
