VR headset deals: Meta Quest bundles and refurbished offers

For those who haven’t used VR before, it’s truly difficult to describe what a fun experience it is, especially with how far it’s come from the original days of the Oculus Go. In fact, there are a few modern VR experiences that don’t even require you to have a high-end gaming PC to play games like Half-Life: Alyx, so it’s perfect if you don’t want to spend a ton of money. There are also a lot of great gaming PC deals that include great games you can buy on Steam instead of grabbing them on the VR marketplace for specific headsets, so you can find some great deals.

Either way, VR headsets can get quite expensive, which is why we’ve collected some of our favorite deals below. It’s also worth checking out these video game deals for a few options as well.

HTC Vive XR Elite with Deluxe Pack — $698 $780 11% off

While the HTC Vive XR Elite is a slightly older VR headset, it’s a solid option if you don’t want to go with the Quest. It has a combined 3840 x 1920 resolution, with a very respectable 110-degree field of view, and a very solid 90Hz refresh rate, which helps a lot with things like dizziness. The hand tracking is also pretty excellent, probably as good if not better than the Quest 2 or 3, and you have several ways you can wear the headset depending on how you want to use it. You see, much like the Quest, it can run in standalone mode that doesn’t require a connection to a PC, although the option for apps is much smaller, and the Vive XR Elite really is made more for connecting with a PC.

Meta Quest 3S — $330 $350 6% off

Meta has released a new headset, although, unfortunately, it’s not the next upgrade to the Quest 3. Instead, the Quest 3S sits somewhere between the Quest 3 and the Quest 2, giving you a bit of both worlds for the same price as the older VR headset. So, for example, it has the same resolution and lenses as the Quest 2, but it has the same chip and passthrough camera quality as the Quest 3, meaning it has a lot better performance and AR capabilities than the older Quest 2. As such, if you’ve been thinking of saving a bit by getting the older Quest 2, then you’re better off grabbing this Quest 3s for essentially the same price.

Meta Quest 3 + Carrying Case — $520 $525 1% off

If you’re the type of person who moves around a lot and likes to share their games and gaming gear with friends, then this bundle that includes this hard-shell custom travel case is the way to go. It has a spot for all the gear, including headphones and cables, and will protect your Quest 3 pretty well. So, if you find that you travel a lot and want to make sure that your VR headset is protected, it’s hard to find a better package deal out there.

More on VR deals

Just a few years ago, the biggest names in the VR headset market consisted of HTC and Oculus; however, in today’s market, we have numerous head-mount displays across various brands including HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Samsung. Even Sony has thrown its hat in the ring in the form of the PlayStation VR headset. With the increased competition in the VR hardware market, the overall quality of headsets has become more polished, and the increasing number of headset options is excellent news for both gamers and deal hunters.

Typically, some of the best deals are found on third-party retailers, including Amazon and Walmart; however, the biggest names in the market, HTC and Oculus, have special promotions available on their websites. Most notably, both companies are providing drastic price cuts on their newer products, the HTC Vive Cosmos and the Oculus Quest, and in each case they are bundling an additional item alongside the headsets.
