We’ve rounded up the top Cyber Monday VR headset deals here, and then below that you’ll find the best prices for headsets sorted by manufacturer.
Oculus VR headset deals
This section includes deals from Oculus, a division of Meta (Facebook) which specializes in virtual reality headsets. There are just two sets here but both are high quality. Keep in mind that the Oculus Rift S is being discontinued this year, which means now might be the best time to grab an affordable one, especially just in time for the holidays.
Oculus also has its Oculus 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 Oculus Quest 2 could be the best cheap VR headset out there.

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.

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 on a consistent basis 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 entire 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 announced there is going to be a 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.
