VR headset for people with glasses? (self.virtualreality)

A few years back I got my brother's old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don't fit inside the headset and I'm not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).

Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it's the playstation one i wouldn't mind getting a ps5, I'm really open to suggestions.

Thanks for any advice you can give.

I own Quest 2 and PSVR2.

The PSVR2 is by far the more glasses friendly. The entire facial interface is effectively suspended in front of your face and allows you to set a fixed depth that allows glasses clearance. The facial interface is much larger and supports larger frames.

Meta Quest is opposite: smaller and held in face by elastic that pulls the facial interface into your glasses.

I didn't have problems wearing glasses with either, but the PSVR2 is hassle-free. Still, I got lens inserts for convenience.
