Virtual reality or VR headsets are one of the biggest tech trends of the year, and could soon be part of our daily lives.
The first VR headsets were released earlier this year, and have already been selling in their thousands.
The PS VR even outsold every other console on the market, during its first week of release in Japan.
Tech expert Mark Zuckerberg, who created the social media site Facebook and owns a VR company, thinks that Virtual Reality is: "going to change the way we live and work and communicate in the future."
So, we asked four tech fans to put some of the best VR headsets through their paces, and find out what they think...
Headsets reviewed were the PlayStation VR, HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Microsoft HoloLens.

Goog cardboard is going to make these things a harder sell. I have a nice $20 goog cardboard viewer in my storage closet because its boring. So I should blow $600 or whatever for what reason exactly?
Sort of like smartphones in 2000. I can wish for things I'd like, such as being able to play minecraft or flight simulators (not airplane themed arcade games) but wish all I want, until I can get it, I'm not interested.

The vive is supposedly quite a good VR experience.

The Vive allows you to walk around and interact with both hands(controllers) with the VR environment.
The level of VR fidelity is very good. The Vive controllers have holes in them, you can place one inside the other in VR and it lines up perfectly in real life.
