VR choice... crazy

So I picked up a Rift S the other day but returned it without opening as I said to myself I would like to get a more top end product.

So initially I thought the Index, but then I heard about the Cosmos.
But some people are saying not a lot of difference between it and the Index....

But then I saw the Pixmax which seems to be a bit of a beast with higher resoltion and 200 degrees FOV?

Has anybody used the Pixmax and/or the Index?

I would love to hear your insights (especially if you have used the original Oculus Rift (which I currently have).

Games which I like to play most at the moment.

Project Cars 2
Elite Dangerous
Robo Recall.

Wow thanks for the extensive review bud.

The thing that put me off the Rift S:
Speakers
80Hz refresh rate.

Index:
Larger FOV
Higher refresh rate
Kick ass sound
Nice controllers

Reverb:
Read some reviews that it overheats?

Ugh too much choice

Cheers silvagti.
The main thing is having the audio "open", I liked to have the earphones on my ear.
Also the FOV, have a larger FOV sounds good.
The resolution is not so different to the Rift?

Those are the main things....

I think this thread is painting the wrong image about VR.

i think we are quite spoiled with choice, but there are little quirks which most headsets have....
The fundamental technology is very good!

Just about picking the product which satisfies the right performance/price point.

In same position as OP. Have pre-ordered index but just does.not seem like it is worth the extra bunce at the moment. Keen flight simulator vr player so reverb has got some benefits but looms like software is a nightmare. Currently got cv1 so.may just get rift s and sit on cash until next round of headsets.

After reading everyones post and also yours... this is something Im leaning towards as well tbh.

Plus if we sell it minimises the price of the Rift S further...

I read somewhere about an earphone mod? Anyone have further info on this? Thanks.

Folks, is there an alternative to the Koss 75? Cheapest I could find it is £35.
I saw these Pansonic over ears clip affair for £7,99 on amazon? Thoughts?
