Virtual reality doesn’t come cheap so it’s worth investing a little extra time to get the most out of your headset. While every headset is a bit different, there are still a few common things you can do to make sure that your VR experience is the best possible.
Audio Is Important

So many people are willing to spend thousands of dollars on the latest OLED screens but then skimp when it comes to audio. It may not be as flashy as 4k, but high fidelity is almost as important as high resolution and even a small investment can produce huge returns. There are plenty of solid headphones you can buy from reputable brands like Sennheiser and Audio Technica that run for less than $100 dollars and can make a world of difference. If all you’ve ever experienced are some cheap ear buds you bought at Walmart, then definitely do a little research on some decent audio equipment – you’ll be shocked by how much this can add to the overall experience.
Charge The Battery

This may seem like a no-brainer but it’s something that even VR veterans often forget. Entertainment is all about immediate gratification and if you can’t sit down and enjoy some VR media without delay, then what’s the point? Getting into the habit of placing your device on the charger immediately after a VR session can help avoid a lot of unnecessary frustration down-the-line and may even help your battery last longer too.
Adjust The Headset

Sometimes, virtual reality can be so exciting that we forget small details like properly fitting the headset. The only way to truly have a distraction-free experience with VR is to take the necessary time to set up the HMD to your exact specifications. This includes getting the straps nice and snug and adjusting the focal distance so that it hits the sweet spot for your eye distance. This is especially important if you share the headset with other people since everyone’s ideal settings are slightly different
Get A Swivel Chair

Virtual reality is meant to be experienced in 360 degrees. It breaks my heart to see so many people using VR and failing to take in their full surroundings. Having a quality swivel chair to sit in will give you the ease and freedom of movement to actually see the virtual world around you.
Maintenance
Like any piece of hardware, virtual reality headsets require some basic maintenance procedures. General practices like keeping the headset dry and the lenses clean will go a long way towards improving your experience. There’s nothing worse than escaping to a fantastic virtual world only to encounter a giant smudge all over the screen as soon as the journey begins. I highly recommend keeping a couple microfiber lens cloths nearby so that you can occasionally wipe off the lens elements. Little things like this are small details that can make a big difference over the course of your headset’s lifetime.
Clear Your Drives

This tip is especially important for fans of VR porn because pornography often requires the download and storage of very large files. In order to keep your device running optimally, it’s important that you regularly delete old videos to prevent them from bogging down your system. Not only will this speed up the unit’s processing but it can also help prevent hardware failures that result from excessive data storage.
Differences
Every headset is slightly different and there’s no doubt that some types require more set-up than others. The point of this article is to focus on a few universal steps you can take regardless of which device you use. Hopefully, these basic tips will help you get the most out of your VR headset for years to come.
I do agree, proper adjustment of headset as per specifications play an imp role… Else you will ruin the VR experience

Lol at swivel chairs. Now that’s more investment for vr porn.
