Pros and cons
Pros
- The headset family covers pc, mobile and standalone, so the same unit works standalone or alongside a PC or phone.
- The range is wireless, which suits room-scale play without a cable running back to a desk.
- PICO sells vr headset and controller, so the controllers come in the same range rather than as a separate purchase.
- Entry pricing sits under the category median, which the VR headset ranking puts at €143.52.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so there is no phone or live chat route listed.
- The range is a single headset family plus controllers, narrower than the gaming headset spread at gaming headset, gaming mouse and gaming keyboard.
- Owners of a gaming PC may find pc, mobile and standalone redundant, since the standalone option means the headset needs no computer beside it.
- Console platforms are not among the stated pc, mobile and standalone, so the range covers PC, mobile and standalone hardware.

Scored 8.8 / 10 by GizmoCue.
Who it suits
- Players who already have a gaming PC or a phone and want another way to play in VR
- Standalone players who want room-scale sessions without a tether to a desk
- Shoppers who want the headset and its controllers from a single maker
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a catalogue of gaming headsets, mice and keyboards, since that is HyperX's range at gaming headset, gaming mouse and gaming keyboard
- Audio-first shoppers who want a headset for everyday sound, where Skullcandy's gaming headset is the simpler choice
Who runs it
PICO trades as PICO Immersive Pte. Ltd. and was founded in 2015, so the company behind the hardware is a named legal entity rather than a trading label. Support runs on help centre, which is the single documented route for setup help, pairing questions and troubleshooting. A help centre suits quick searches: you type a question, read a written answer, and follow the steps at your own pace. It is thinner for long troubleshooting threads, where a phone line or live chat would let you describe what your headset is doing and get a back-and-forth. Buyers who cannot wait on a written answer should weigh that before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
What does PICO actually sell?+
PICO lists vr headset and controller as its range, so a purchase covers the VR headset and the motion controllers that go with it. That is a narrower catalogue than a gaming peripherals brand, which usually also carries audio, mice and keyboards, so PICO reads as a specialist pick rather than a one-stop shop.
Do I need a PC or a phone to use a PICO headset?+
No. The stated pc, mobile and standalone list includes standalone, so the headset runs on its own hardware without a computer beside it. It also lists pc and mobile, which means the same unit can be tethered to a gaming PC or a phone if you already own one, and that flexibility is why a single purchase can suit a first headset.
Is the PICO headset wireless?+
Wireless is listed as a yes for the range, so nothing has to trail back to a desk while you play. That suits room-scale sessions, where a cable is a trip hazard, and it pairs naturally with the standalone option in pc, mobile and standalone for play away from a computer.
Who is behind PICO?+
PICO trades as PICO Immersive Pte. Ltd., a named legal entity rather than a trading label, and it was founded in 2015. Knowing which entity stands behind the hardware helps if a purchase goes wrong and you need to work out who handles a claim or a return.
How do I get help from PICO?+
Support runs on help centre, so a help centre is the one documented route for setup steps, pairing questions and troubleshooting. Plan any install problem around searching that centre yourself, because no phone line or live chat is listed alongside it, and check it before a long session rather than after.
What price bracket should I expect in VR?+
Across the VR headset ranking, entry prices start at €29.04 and the median sits at €143.52, with €4,050.64 at the top of the range. The spread matters when choosing between a bare headset and a bundle.
Who does a PICO headset suit?+
It suits players who want a headset covering pc, mobile and standalone rather than a visor that only mirrors a display, and who prefer buying vr headset and controller from the same maker. Someone shopping mainly for a gaming headset for everyday audio will find more choice elsewhere.
How does PICO compare with headset-first brands?+
Skullcandy lists gaming headset, so that range is audio only and suits a buyer who wants a headset for sound rather than for a virtual world. HyperX and CORSAIR sit at the other end, with headsets listed alongside mice and keyboards for a desk-wide basket.
