Late last year, the sleek and lightweight PC VR headset, Bigscreen Beyond, hit the market, and just in time for this year’s Black Friday, there’s a sweet deal up for grabs. For a limited time starting this week, you can snag a free Audio Strap with your purchase.
Bigscreen Beyond stands out for its compact design. Part of this is thanks to its reliance on the SteamVR tracking system, which removes the need for built-in tracking sensors. Plus, it sports dual 2,560 × 2,560 micro-OLED displays combined with pancake lenses, which cleverly save both on space and weight.
Impressively light, the headset itself weighs just 127 grams—a few grams lighter than the optional Audio Strap, which tips the scale at 160 grams.
During the window from Black Friday through Cyber Monday, spanning November 27th to December 2nd, every purchase of the $999 Bigscreen Beyond includes a complimentary Audio Strap, typically priced at $129.
This fantastic offer is available across all regions where Bigscreen ships, including the US, UK, most of continental Europe, Ireland, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Japan.
To cash in on this Black Friday perk, simply use the code BLACKFRIDAY24 at checkout when buying a Bigscreen Beyond.
Bigscreen’s Audio Strap is a significant upgrade from the default fabric strap. It offers a more solid form that comfortably cradles the top and back of your head. It also comes with an adjustable dial for a perfect fit and conveniently integrates on-ear headphones.
But the pressing question remains: is Bigscreen Beyond worth the investment? Our exhaustive review pondered this too, highlighting the bespoke face pad, stellar visuals, and the comfort brought by its small size, which felt great even during lengthy use.
Initially, though, we termed the Bigscreen Beyond as “incomplete” since the Audio Strap wasn’t yet available, making the lack of integrated audio a glaring shortfall. Now, with the Audio Strap tossed in for free, it paints a different picture. Be sure to dive into our full review to judge if it’s the right pick for you.
Remember, you’ll need SteamVR base stations, motion controllers, and a PC robust enough to handle PC VR games. Check our resources to see if your system makes the cut.
