What is in your opinion the best wireless VR headset that is not one of the Quest headsets/from Meta?

Currently I have the Valve Index but I would rather have a wireless headset because I think I would use it more when there is less effort to set it up in my living room to start playing.

honestly, get a pico 4, they are used 200 to 250 bucks now, a killer deal. Their OS is way less bs than meta, and the streamer for your PC is just 80mb, compared to 8 gb with the quest. It also launches you straight into steamvr. Pico just figured out how to make their os actually usable.

Pico being from byte dance might give OP the same misgivings as quest being from meta

its way easier to turn off telemetry on pico and you wont have 8gb of bloatware just to use pcvr. on pico you only have to make a dummy account go online once, thats it, on meta you have to use a smartphone, turn on location, then give them your phone number to even sideload and be online to do all that. You tell me whats worse.
