Meta VR headset deals
In this section, you’ll find the best available prices on models from Meta which is a division of Facebook (specializing in virtual reality headsets). While there isn’t a great deal of selection here, both headsets are of high quality. It’s worth noting the Meta Rift S has been discontinued so you might have a tougher time getting a good deal on one. The Meta Quest 3 is the new kid on the block, and it’s a really impressive model for the money you pay.
Meta also has its Meta Quest 2, model, which we reviewed and we think is very good value for money. If you’re searching for a reliable headset that has access to loads of games and won’t break the bank, the Meta Quest 2 could be the best cheap VR headset out there.
Note: Meta VR headsets were formerly known as Oculus.

Valve VR headset deals
Here we have Valve virtual reality headsets. We feature just one headset in this section but thankfully, it’s an exceptional headset. It also comes with Half Life Alyx, which is regarded as the best virtual reality game out there.
The Valve Index is a high-quality product. You may spend a bit more than with other VR sets, but if you’re willing to spend the extra bit of cash you will end up with something that reflects that and doesn’t disappoint. Bonus points if you can find it at a discounted price.

HTC VR headset deals
This section contains the most products in one section in this guide, and they’re all from HTC. The four different headsets that feature here show the company’s ability to produce high-quality products consistently and we’ve picked the best ones to cover everyone’s budget.
HTC has been in the VR headset game longer than most, and it knows how to make a great VR headset. The HTC Vive Pro 2 is at the higher end of most people’s budget but does have that extra quality whilst headsets like HTC Vive Cosmos Elite and the Cosmos are a bit less pricey and offer a fantastic VR experience.

Sony PlayStation VR headset deals
PSVR, aka PlayStation Virtual Reality, is Sony’s own proprietary VR headset for PlayStation consoles. That means it only works with PS4 and PS5 but this headset is nevertheless great because it offers players a new way to play and adds an entirely new dimension to some of people’s favorite games on the console.
The headset has proven to be a popular way to play new games and experience virtual reality, so much so that Sony released the PSVR 2.

HP VR headset deals
HP might be better known for its computers and printers, but it also makes a fantastic VR headset — the HP Reverb G2. It’s the only VR product in the HP line at the moment, but it offers great specs and high-quality gaming.
There is also a buffed-up version of the G2 called the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition. This includes a load of state-of-the-art sensors, but it’s not really meant for gaming or other everyday applications. We’d recommend saving the cash and sticking with the normal version.
