Quest 2 VR Headset with Active Pack for $218.57
Even with the release of the Quest 3, the Quest 2 VR headset is still far and away the best value when it comes to VR gaming. For a price that beats every other comparable VR headset out there, it offers a completely tether-free experience, phenomenal inside-out tracking, and a huge library of games.
The Quest 2 features a fast-switch LCD display with a resolution of 1832×1920 per eye and a maximum 90Hz refresh rate along with built-in speakers so no headphones are required. Gone are the days where you’d have to install clunky sensors for tracking; the Quest 2 uses sensors in the headset and controllers themselves to give you 6DOF inside-out tracking without any need for external base stations. The Touch controllers are very precise and are one of the lightest VR controllers on the market, perfect for playing Expert+ levels on Beat Saber for long periods of time without tiring out your arms.
The Quest 2’s real claim to fame is the ability to play completely standalone. The built-in Snapdragon XR2 processor means that you can load all of your games right onto the Quest 2 itself. You don’t need to buy an expensive PC or tether yourself to an ungainly wire to play immersive VR games.
