I think the current buzz in the VR space is the "Bigscreen Beyond" which eschews all of the nice-to-haves in order to make the headset as light as possible, and the result is surprisingly compelling.
It looks compelling for high-end PC gaming VR enthusiasts, but if GP is more of a mainstream consumer it probably won't make sense for them.
At least from what I've read, there's a bunch of downsides for regular consumers: very expensive ($1000) -- SUPER expensive if you bundle in controllers and tracking points (~$1600), needs external tracking, wired instead of wireless, no built-in audio, can effectively only be used by one person (because each one is built custom to your face), and of course it's not a standalone headset, it has to be hooked up to a gaming PC.
