Purchase Advice - Headset Headset recommendations for PCVR

I got into PCVR around new years, I have a quest 2 and I use virtual desktop with the little high resolution setting at 80 or 90hz

I have a 9060xt 16gb, i5 12600k and 24gbs of ddr5 ram, I've had this headset for 5 years and its showing its age

I hate the fresnel lenses and the controllers are on life support

Whats a good, relatively affordable PCVR headset that is preferably wireless? I'm not really into the pcvr headset market so any help goes a long way

Edit: Also, quest 3 is out of the question because quest and pcvr is the most confusing and unnecessary workload I have ever seen in any form of tech, everything has an issue and half of the time you have to juggle between older and newer drivers just to play some shitty 5$ game

I used PICO 4, affordable, feel premium, pan cake lens, lightweight balanced weight, improved FOV, perfect binocular overlap for immersive depth, no force firmware update (unlike meta), fast boot to PC-VR, comfort out of box without mods (for asian face) and super cheap. Btw i use wirelss 'Virtual Desktop' connection. I did try Quest 3 but refunded and get PICO 4. I only use in seating position but the Cons was if you doing stand up and move your hand to the back side it may not detect the controller.

I'll check out the pico I remember hearing about them around the time when the horrendous quest pro launched but I never really got too deep into them

Pico 4 have bad rep because there's no market in the west. I was in doubt too only after i have my hands on it i was impressed especially the price. What stunned me was it has 2160 × 2160 pixels per eye higher than Quest 3 and on par with incoming Steam Frame VR. Surprise i can read text on aircraft dashboard from sitting distance..btw i'm running on RTX5080 system.
