Your age? Almost none of the goggles out there address people over 45 that can not focus on a screen placed 4-6 inches in front of their eyes. The box type headsets have a slight advantage in that you “can” supposedly wear eyeglasses and still slip them on over. But I find that to be extremely awkward and simply a nonstarter.
By far the best solution we have found are Zeiss Cinemizer OLED goggles plugged into the HDMI port of an android tablet such as the Nvidia Shield. These goggles have adjustable focal length, in fact, a separate knob for the left and for the right. and so far all but one “older” person has been able to adjust them for perfect focus. There are three sets of Cinemizers in our club now.
The downside is they are very expensive if you buy them new, probably $800. But you can often find them on eBay in like new condition for about $300-$400. I think a lot of people bought them to use to watch a movie on an airplane, or they had some other use/expectation that didn’t pan out, so there are many out there that are like new in the box.
They accept HDMI or composite analog video inputs. I use them for FPV racing with composite input and digital video with Solo, and probably for some other FPV 1080 technologies on the horizon.
I use the Solex app for Solo, it’s also worth every penny, the dev Lelly Schrock did an amazing job and is still updating it all the time. Of course you can use the goggles with the free stock Solo or Tower apps, but why would.
The Solo transmits 720 video which is a big step up from Analog 4xx line analog. It’s not nearly as nice as DJI 1080 but it’s much nicer than analog.
Cinemizers can do up to 1080 video so they are a very versatile solution. They are also very compact, so it looks like your wearing a fat pair of sunglasses rather than a shoebox which can be important depending where you fly, it’s nice to not draw a lot of attention. :<)
Zeiss stopped producing them a few years ago, but production has restarted, and most spare parts are still available such as a replacement internal battery, cord, $18 each outer lense snaps right in.....if you scratch them or buy a set of goggles that has scratched lenses.

The screens are not as large as some of the newer goggles, so they do not have quite the immersive feel, but you quickly get used to that
