In this anime, I recall there being little people (toy dolls, perhaps) that
could be bought in stores. If you put on a certain headset, you could move
them around and play with them. There were competitions that you could enter
these dolls in.

The main character is a girl, who has friends who enter the dolls in
competitions. In addition, there is a male character (who may have had black
hair, though I'm not certain). He enjoyed reading, and in either the opening
or ending song, he could be seen falling asleep on his books.

What is the name of this anime?
