‘Best thing I have bought for years’ say Amazon shoppers as ‘outstanding’ VR headset slashed from £249 to £199
I’VE found an amazing deal on a popular virtual reality headset on Amazon, and it comes with a hefty discount.
The Meta Quest 2 VR Headset is currently available for just £199, down from its usual price of £249, and shoppers are rushing to grab it.
Meta Quest 2 VR Headset, £249 £199
The Meta Quest 2 hit the market almost four years ago, in October 2020 and back then it would have burned a £400 hole in your wallet.
Since then, its price has gradually decreased, especially after the release of the Quest 3 in 2023, and it typically goes for £249 these days.
But, stumbling upon it for just £199 on Amazon’s list of top-selling wearable tech makes it the most budget-friendly it has ever been.
It seems shoppers have caught on too, as the virtual reality headset is quickly climbing the ranks among shoppers’ favourites.
To sweeten the deal, if you buy it before April 28, you’ll bag 15% off Venom gaming accessories to boot.
If you’re not au fait with VR, these futuristic devices take everything from gaming to workouts to the next level by providing an immersive and interactive experience in 3D spaces.
Granted, with the release of the latest model, there are more high-spec options, but for the price, you’ll be getting an impressive piece of kit.
It’s powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 processor, which provides seamless VR with a high-resolution display, ensuring smooth performance even during intense action.
Thanks to 3D positional audio, hand tracking, and haptic feedback, you’ll feel like you’re really among the action.
With access to over 250 titles across gaming, fitness, social, and entertainment, there’s something for everyone.
Plus, the Guardian boundary system prevents accidents by alerting you if you stray from your designated play space, so don’t worry about any lamps getting knocked over.
Our Science & Tech expert, Sean Keach, had the opportunity to test out the headset in his Oculus Quest 2 review (it’s been rebranded to Meta since then).
He described it as the “perfect middle-ground” between pricey and budget-friendly headsets, providing a “mind-blowing VR experience” at an affordable price.
Given all its capabilities, it’s hardly surprising that Amazon shoppers have awarded it a respectable 4.6 stars, praising its quality, value, and, notably, its entertainment value.
One shopper hailed it as the “best purchase I’ve made in years” and remarked, “I bought this Quest 2 for my kids for Christmas 2023. I’ve been into video games for about 40 years and this has been the most immersive gaming experience I have ever had. I’ve installed the ‘Eleven’ VR table tennis game and it feels exactly like the real thing.”
Continuing, they shared, “I’ve also tried connecting it to my gaming PC and Half-Life Alyx from Steam VR is simply the best gaming experience I have ever had. Well worth the £250.”
And if you act now, you’ll secure it with that sweet 20% discount.
Another satisfied customer voiced, “The item quality is fantastic the sound is spot on, and the viewing is actually awesome. I enjoyed the product from start to finish and I have no issue with the price, well worth it.”
