The Quest 2 is a bit smaller and lighter than the original it weighs 17.7 ounces and measures 4.0 by 7.5 by 5.6 inches (HWD), not including the strap. Add optional PC tethering with an accessory cable to the mix, and you have a comprehensive and accessible VR system that's worthy of our Editors’ Choice award. It offers all of this for $399.99 (after a recent $100 price bump) and remains significantly more affordable than competitors like the HTC Vive Cosmos ($699) and the Valve Index ($999). The Meta Quest 2 (formerly Oculus Quest 2) follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, but improves upon the experience with a more powerful processor, a sharper screen, and a lighter design. Then Facebook purchased Oculus, and now both are under the Meta umbrella.

The Oculus Go headset was the company's first foray into standalone virtual reality, but it didn't really nail a genuinely immersive, cable-free VR experience until the Oculus Quest.
