The Meta Quest 2 is one of the best and cheapest options for trying what virtual reality has to offer. The headset has been on a steep decline in price ever since the new Meta Quest 3 came out in October, settling at $199.99 right now (originally $249.99). Given the Meta Quest 3 starts at $499.99 and the Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499, the Meta Quest 2 is the only VR headset that lets you dip your feet in VR without breaking the bank—especially if you get it in one of the bundles available right now.
The Elite Strap Bundle

Save $76.22
If you value comfort, the Meta Quest 2 with the Elite Strap Bundle for $223.76 (originally $299.98) is a great choice for only $23 more. The Elite Strap is made to relieve fatigue and offer more choices in terms of fit. It has straps, bracing, and a weight-balancing design that lifts the headset’s weight away from your face for more comfort.
The carrying case bundle

Save $76.22
If you value practicality and portability instead, the Carrying Case Bundle might be a better option. For $18.76 more than the price of the headset alone, you can fit your Meta Quest 2 and accessories in a lightweight case that can protect the headset from bumps.
For those who can’t decide between the two, the Meta Quest 2 Power Bundle for $243.52 (originally $344.97) includes both the Elite Strap and the carrying case for $43.52 more than the price of the headset alone. Of course, there’s also the option to just save your money if you don’t like any of the bundle options. Walmart has the Meta Quest 2 with a $50 gift card option as well.
