The Bigscreen Beyond, a sleek and feather-light PC VR headset introduced late last year, is offering its very first Black Friday deal. Starting this week, you can score a complimentary Audio Strap with your purchase.
One of the standout features of the Bigscreen Beyond is its compactness. This is partly because it uses the SteamVR tracking ecosystem, eliminating the need for inside-out tracking sensors. Additionally, it boasts dual 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays coupled with space-saving pancake lenses, which also reduce weight.
In fact, this headset is incredibly light, tipping the scales at a few grams less than the optional Audio Strap: the Beyond itself is 127g, while the Audio Strap is 160g.
From Black Friday through Cyber Monday, spanning November 27th to December 2nd, you can grab the Bigscreen Beyond for $999 and receive the Audio Strap, usually priced at $129, at no extra cost. This offer is valid in supported shipping regions, including the US, UK, much of continental Europe, Ireland, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan.
To claim your free Audio Strap when buying a Bigscreen Beyond, just use the promo code BLACKFRIDAY24 at checkout.
Much like other audio straps, the Bigscreen’s version replaces the standard fabric strap with a sturdy design. It hugs both the top and back of your head, comes with an adjustable dial for a snug fit, and features built-in on-ear headphones.
Now, you might be wondering if the Bigscreen Beyond is worth it. Our in-depth review highlighted its custom face pad, exceptional visuals, and compact form, which made it comfortable for extended use. Previously, we noted that the Bigscreen Beyond felt “incomplete” without the Audio Strap—its absence of built-in audio was a major downside. With this current bundle deal, it’s a different ball game. Be sure to read our full review to determine if it’s the right choice for you.
Keep in mind that you’ll need SteamVR base stations, motion controllers, and a capable PC to enjoy PC VR games. Check here to see if your PC is up to the task.
