Best VR headsets in 2024
Discover the best VR headsets for blurring the line between the physical and the virtual
In the past few years, virtual reality has gone from an obscure novelty to a fixture of the tech space. And with VR creeping ever deeper into the gaming and creative communities, it seems inevitable that this tech will become a household standard within a decade. But what are the best VR headset options for those looking to get on board with this new technology today?
I love my Meta Quest 2, and this is why Cyber Monday is the perfect time to buy one
Trust me, you won't regret picking up the amazing Meta Quest 2 this Black Friday
Black Friday sales might have wrapped up, but with Cyber Monday around the corner, it’s still possible to find some worthwhile discounts on gaming peripherals, including the Meta Quest 2. I bought the device back when it was called the Oculus Quest 2, and despite being over three years old, it still holds up in 2023.
Hurry, get the Meta Quest 2 at its all-time lowest price, $100 off this Black Friday
The Meta Quest 2 remains a great mixed reality headset three years after its launch, and the Black Friday deal now makes it more lucrative than ever.
Meta may have launched the Quest 3 mixed reality headset a few weeks ago, but the company continues to sell the Quest 2 as a more affordable alternative. It remains a great device for the price, and Meta is now making it even more lucrative by offering a crazy deal on it this Black Friday. The Quest 2 (128GB model) has a list price of $349.99 on Amazon, but it is currently on offer for just $249. In addition to the $101 discount, Amazon is also offering a $50 gift card, meaning you can get it for an effective price of $199.
How can Apple's Vision Pro succeed? By capitalizing on Meta's shortcomings
Despite making such a late entry into the VR market, Apple is poised to take the lead.
After years of endless speculation, Apple finally announced the Vision Pro, its much-anticipated mixed-reality headset, during WWDC23. In typical fashion, Apple took its sweet time before finally pulling the trigger, with Meta taking the liberty of experimenting with its VR headset and the so-called metaverse in the meantime. Yet despite Meta having such an enormous head start, Apple’s headset doesn't look like it's lagging behind the Meta Quest Pro by that much. In fact, Apple could arguably displace Meta as the lead in the VR space quite easily, and a big reason why is the sheer difference in their user privacy track records.
Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro will become more affordable with new price drop
Meta is going to lower the price of its Quest 2 and Quest Pro VR headsets starting March 5.
Despite a heavy push from companies like Meta, Sony, and HTC, virtual reality really hasn't taken off, and still remains a niche product category for consumers. But that hasn't stopped the aforementioned companies to continue innovating in the space, offering new and more powerful headsets.
Meta's Direct Touch feature brings a more natural interaction method to the Quest 2 and Quest Pro
A new update means new features, and the latest v50 build brings Direct Touch to the Meta Quest 2 and Quest Pro.
While virtual reality can be great, sometimes the interactive parts are a bit of a hit or miss. Although hand tracking has been part of the Meta Quest experience since 2019 and while it claimed it added a more natural experience, it wasn't really all that intuitive. For example, in order to select something in a digital space, like in a menu, users were required to pinch to select, rather than tap. Luckily, that's all going to change with the introduction of Meta's latest update that brings an experimental feature called Direct Touch.
Meta Quest Move update allows users to easily sync VR fitness data using Google's Health Connect
A new update to the Meta Quest Move app will now allow users to sync their data to Android smartphones using Health Connect.
In an effort to make tracking fitness goals much easier, Meta offers a Quest Move app that can track fitness metrics while you're enjoying your time in VR. While the app was pretty good, it didn't offer a way to export or sync the information to more popular apps like Apple Health or Android's Health Connect. Back in June, Meta delivered syncing to Apple Health and now, it is bringing syncing capabilities with Health Connect.

However, we're now getting this amazing bundle for the Meta Quest 2 that features not only Beat Saber, but it will also include Capcom's Resident Evil 4.
A new update, v44, is rolling out to Meta Quest owners. The update will feature new advanced video settings that are meant to empower and give creators more flexibility with their content.
