The least comfortable out of the three is possibly the Oculus Rift with a tight fit and a little too snug around the nose, consumers reported of having to take off the headset every 20 minutes or so. Each VR Headset has their own unique design with the PS Morpheus choosing to go white and having a forehead strap, unlike its competitors.

Each VR headset has an Organic Light-Emitting Diploid Display (OLED). The field of views are slightly larger on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive at 110 degrees and the PS Morpheus at 100 degrees.
