Meta Quest 3S
The default first headset: everything that matters, at the lowest price.
Full breakdown →Apple Vision Pro (M5)
A spatial computer that happens to sit on your face.
The 30-second version
The M5 refresh made it faster and the Dual Knit Band made it wearable, and the June 2026 price rise made it $3,699. It's the best movie theater and Mac accessory ever made — and mostly not a gaming device.
Best for: Apple households with serious budgets: cinema, Mac workspace, and FaceTime, not Beat Saber.
What you should know

- No controllers — eye + pinch is elegant but rules out most VR games
- The 2026 price hike widened the gap to Galaxy XR to almost 2×
- Buy the right head strap configuration in-store; fit decides everything
