The Meta Quest 3 is the latest and greatest VR headset from Meta, but it’s quite expensive at $500. If you’re new to the world of VR (or just want to save a bundle of cash), opting for the more affordable Meta Quest 2 is a better option, as it plays many of the same games and offers impressive visuals thanks to its Snapdragon XR2 Gen1 processor. The last-gen headset is more enticing than usual right now, as you’ll find it bundled with an accessory set for just $218, down from its usual $310 (h/t Wario64).

Oddly enough, this is the only Meta Quest 2 bundle getting a nice discount at Amazon. You’ll find listings for a Comfort Bundle, Power Bundle, and Starter Bundle, but only this Active Bundle is on sale for more than a few bucks. The standalone headset listing is still full-price at $250–so even if you don’t care about the accessories, this is still the cheapest way to add the Quest 2 to your collection.

Our Meta Quest 2 review praised the headset when it launched in 2020 (back when it was known as the Oculus Quest 2), lauding its comfortable design and nice improvements over its predecessor.

“The Oculus Quest 2 is the most comfortable VR headset I’ve ever worn,” critic Mat Paget wrote. “The Oculus Quest 2 is an excellent VR headset that is well worth your time and money, especially if you don’t already own the original headset. If you do choose to snag the Quest 2, you’ll be picking up an improved version of one of the best VR headsets out there.”
