Budget of ~$350, trying to explore options. Don't like box goggles. Happy to see what you guys are willing to get rid of.

I'm new to FPV & a college student, so saving money when I was getting into this was my priority. I originally bought the vr04s, but the optics were genuinely awful. I returned those and bought the DJI goggles v2 for cheap off of ebay & adapted them to analog. When doing research I knew that they'd have latency-- but both feeling it & having it in the back of my mind when I'm flying is ruining my experience.

I understand that I'm heavily limiting my options by excluding box goggles, but the vr04s left a sour taste in my mouth. I get a feeling that other pairs are going to feel like a phone strapped to my face & want to avoid that entirely.

Willing to trade the v2s if interested. They're essentially brand new & include the goggles, case, analog adapter, cheapo analog module from amazon, 2 dji batteries, strap & antennas. More details available upon request.

So, I've been flying sims for a little over a month at this point, and I've recently picked up my first drone, the Air75 II Champion. I love the drone! but I got the analog VR04s because I'm a little short on cash at the moment (college yippeeee), and they're genuinely ruining the actual flight experience for me.

I find it difficult to actually immerse myself when I'm flying in person-- because of my experience with some competitive games, I'm a bit of a stickler for little things when it comes to what I'm looking at- and the VR04s genuinely look like I'm staring at a tiny phone on the other side of my room. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but when I've been playing sims I get close to my monitor out of habit from games I've played in the past.

I also had a quest 3 at one point, and maybe i set my expectations a bit too high when i had purchased these goggles and thought that these would give me a similar experience.

I'm a bit lost, I know that they're box goggles and that's why they don't look how I was expecting, but what would be a good solution for me? Is there something cheap that would solve my issue? I love FPV so far and don't see myself quitting anytime soon, if I had the cash I'd splurge on something nice, but can't right now. I'm happy with returning the VR04s and waiting for it to process so I can buy something nicer in the future. I'd love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
