Pros:
The best of the VR sites that I have tried
Works fantastic with my Oculus Quest 2
Filmed with the intention of being a VR scene
Streaming works as it should and it’s important since there’s a 10 video per day download limit.
Downloads are good, but you are limited each day.
Over 600 VR videos and pictures too.
Cons:
Hopefully, you don’t mind download limits and even some download options not even being available. There are no downloads of the photos.
Not for sure if someone viewing without a VR headset will see the same quality as those who have VR headsets
Bottom Line:
VR Bangers is usually considered one of, if not the, top VR porn sites. For reference, I use an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset. The videos look great and the sounds are immersive, but that download limit may or may not be a big problem for you. The mathematics of it says you can download 10 videos per day. That’s 300 per month, but that’s only if you sign in everyday and download your 10.
The download limit isn’t the only problem. There also are no photo downloads. The models are very attractive and most of them perform well in VR. That is one of the pet peeves of VR porn. So much time and effort is put into making VR porn it leaves an opening for slacking on stories and creativity.
I mentioned the models showing intentions of their scenes being VR. Models can move certain ways that maximize the viewing angle of the VR headset. You also get improved sound when using a headset. There are just multiple factors that can tell you they’re shooting a VR scene.
Using VR, at one time, felt new and fresh, but now It feels like untapped potential. Having a long career in the technology sector, it is often the biggest reason for a technological advance to fail. No one knows how to get the most out of the device. It’s the feeling that all of this content could be even better.
As if it’s not enough trying to decide if the untapped potential is a bigger problem than any of the positives; there’s also the daily download limit of 10 videos. There are nearly 700 scenes on the site. Even if you download your max 10 per day, you’re only to be able to download 300 videos. I don’t have a major problem with the download limit, but have to admit, it’s just not something I’ve ever liked from a porn site that I paid for.
There are plenty of positives to draw from, but the negatives are growing and maybe part of that is just boredom with the VR niche. The one way this site scores very high is if you just look at it like a normal porn site and not a VR one. The scenes are good, the sex is believable, but the positive effect from VR just can’t be seen.
Good site, but don't do it just for the VR experience.

Pros:
- Good speeds
- Video quality is good with decent lighting and care taken in filming
- Option of signing up for discount in bundle
Cons:
- Not the biggest site, but price is okay for what you get
- Ads in the paywall
- Repetitive
- The biggie: Download limits
Bottom Line:
Not a bad site overall if this is your kink. There are multiple video sizes and options, and you can stream the videos in a preview panel to make sure it's worth burning one of your daily downloads (which would be odd if you couldn't, but still). More about those daily download limits in a moment, but first:
The download options offered me a package deal where I could sign up at a discounted rate for a couple of VRBangers associated sites, and at different rates including a lifetime option. That's a pretty nice touch and I wouldn't mind seeing more websites take that approach instead of this new tendency towards making you log in every few minutes and then click through a "WANNA BUY THIS?!! WANNA BUY THIS?!!" page before you can see the product you paid to access. Webmasters, FWIW, I've never bought anything that way and doubt I ever will. Unless I can read the details of what I'm signing up for, I'm unlikely to subscribe to a website like that. You can thank the overall scumminess of the industry billing agencies for that wariness.
Overall this is a good site with one major flaw. The 10 download limit per day is ridiculous. Limits aren't unheard of, and I guess it's a way to try and keep people subscribed for another month or whatever, but the problem with this one - other than 10 being very low - is that when you hit the limit it gives you a pop-up telling you something about (paraphrased) "Sorry, you've reached the download limit. We implemented this 10 downloads a day limit order to help you preserve your bandwidth and so that everyone in your community enjoy the fastest internet speeds possible because we care" or some other trite nonsense.
Stop that. I have no data limits or way to substantially disrupt anyone else's internet usage with my settings. If you want to make a download limit then fine, but you are purveyors of pornography accepting money to produce and transmit pornography. I'm not certain the well-being of communities is the excuse to use there.
They make a big deal out of their unlimited streaming option using the Play'a app when they lock your downloads with caring. It's apparently their own VR player:
“Some people ask me, why do we even care so much?” says VR Bangers CEO Daniel Abramovich. “We do such things because we care.”
Other than that it's fine. Sign up for a month if this is your thing.

Pros:
+Newer videos (6k) are great quality (some of best I've seen)
+Nice mix of models and some you'd expect to see
+Fast download speeds
+Multiple ways to pay (paypal, bitcoin, etc)
Cons:
-10 Download limit a day (no limit on streaming)
-Older 4k videos look like crap compared to new 6k ones
-Navigation is very bland
-No favorites list at all of any kind
-sometimes try to be too artsy
Bottom Line:
My equipment: Pixel 3XL on Daydream V1, downloaded their "4k" option video.
I signed up for VRBangers on a Black Friday holiday special of $8 a month.
The new videos recorded in 6k are great quality but that makes the older 4k videos almost useless to download as they look like crap.
As mentioned above there is a "10 Downloads per day" limit. Webmaster says "all sites have download limits" which as we all know is BS but even at that, 10 a day for VR is extremely low.
Sometimes they try and be too artsy, for example they have a video of Whitney Westgate called "Red Light District", it was pretty much recorded with only light being a very harsh red light. It makes it impossible to see anything in VR.
Overall it's a decent site and I liked it better then WankzVR but not sure it's the best out there.

Pros:
1. Good talent, mix of US and Euro models
2. Videos are well shot, crisp and clear
3. Good sized back catalog.
Cons:
1. Navigation is a freaking mess
2. Download limit of 10 videos a day.
3. Slow update schedule, maybe one a week or two weeks.
Bottom Line:
The videos are the only thing that is good about this site. OMG! The navigation is SOOOO frustrating! I try to sort the videos by date and when you select the video and then go back after viewing, back to popularity (default setting). Select by date again and it goes back to the first page and then you have to go ONE page at at time to get back to where you were. The model page can only be sorted by newest and popularity, no alphabetical option.
I have joined this site a couple times before and have never hit a download limit before. Today I hit one that said I had reached my daily limit of ten videos. I didn't get this limit message yesterday or the day before so I don't know if this is new or just didn't hit ten videos but I'm sure I downloaded more than ten.
I joined this site on a black Friday sale for $8 and will not join again unless I get a deal close to this. Site does need a serious overhaul but is worthy of check-backs a couple times a year.

OVERVIEW
--------------------------------------------------
The best word to describe this site is INCONSISTENT, which makes it a bit tricky to score. Want the sharpest looking VR videos currently available for Nicole Aniston, Megan Rain, Anna Bell Peaks, Lily Adams, or Aletta Ocean? You'll find them here. Want some of the worst looking VR videos available? I'm afraid those are here too.
VIDEO QUALITY / CONTENT
--------------------------------------------------
There are a handful of really great scenes on this site. Most are 3840x1920 for 180 videos though some are also offered in 360 which use 3840x3840. There's a good mix of US/European models doing b/g, g/g, and solo scenes. The more recent videos produced in house can look extremely good. Partly this is because they use HEVC to encode their videos, but I'm sure it also has to do with the way they are filmed and edited.
Unfortunately not all videos are shot in house. In fact a number of the videos are not exclusive to this site at all. For example, since December there have been 5 updates that are videos from JVRPorn. I'm sure anyone who was/is a member of JVRPorn must feel especially burned having to pay for these videos twice. Having not joined that site, I would have been OK with uncensored Japanese videos provided they were of similar quality to the in house videos. But they are not. The 3D is off and the scale makes everyone look miniature. IMO they're basically throwaways. Some of the older videos on this site are even in 2D. They literally have 2D VR videos, which is...pretty bad.
File sizes tend to be unusually small for VR. A giant video for this site might be 5GB, but that's unusual. 2-3GB is more common and I've seen some < 1.5GB, which again for VR, is tiny. This is partly because they use HEVC, and partly because they seem to have an unwritten rule that scenes should be < 30 minutes if possible.
Many VR sites do a special Holiday scene at the end of the year. This year's Holiday scene was a good example of the VRBanger's experience. They broke it into 2 separate updates (don't wanna go over 30 minutes remember). Part 1 came out 12/25 (26 min). It was good, but not a full scene. On 12/29 they released part 2. But they released Part 2 in 2D, making it pretty terrible. Part 2 has since been taken down as their editors were unable to fix it. Compare this with CzechVR which released a full 49+ minute 5K Holiday video free for all to download.
I think they are updating 2X a week right now, but I'm not certain. Naughty America puts out a VR video on Monday & Friday like clockwork, but with VRBangers I never really know. The update schedule is inconsistent. And when they do update you don't know if it will be a great in house video or a terrible JVRPorn re-run.
UI
--------------------------------------------------
The site has an excellent filtering system, but has no user ratings, comments, or feedback options of any kind. Videos are dated when browsing, but oddly when you go to the video's page the date is missing and instead shows the current date. The UI is certainly functional, looks decent, & includes nice cover art for each scene.
CONCLUSION
--------------------------------------------------
This could be a great site, but currently I don't think it is. I wouldn't discourage someone from joining, but go in knowing what you'll get...A few diamonds and a whole lot of rough.
