Viable alternatives to Daydream VR for a HTC 10?

[Cyber Akuma]

I have a HTC 10, and it is not officially compatible with Daydream VR (though the app appears to run if I sideload it).

However, I don't want to spend $80 on a VR headset just to find out it might not work on my phone... on top of that $80 is a little steep.

I was wondering if there were any viable alternatives that would be close to what the Daydream VR can do, or even if possible support using the app with them.

I know there are hundreds of Android headsets all over Amazon and other such places, but the majority of these are simply a base to put your phone into and almost never have any sort of controls whatsoever, the few that do typically just have a physical button that just touches the screen.

Are there any that are a bit more intricate than that? I know the Daydream VR has some kind of button remote, but I don't know how intricate it is or viable it would be for a 3rd party to make one. I never had any other VR headset before, and the ones for PC are far too expensive for me right now.

I am using Fiit VR with HTC 10, it's an awesome plastic VR headset compatible with Google Cardboard app.
You can get it between 15 and 20$ from aliexpress
The BoboVR Z4 is also very good

Yes I just did some googling on this issue and it seems the Fiit VR and Bobovr Z4 are the best cheap bang for buck vr headsets.
