Windows VR Deal Baselines

Windows VR headsets, compatible with the ‘Windows Mixed Reality’ platform, have only been out a few months, and come from a variety of manufacturers including Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung. All the headsets except for one, Samsung’s Odyssey headset, appear to be based on the same reference design provided by Microsoft, so they’re more or less the same outside of the obvious styling differences. To get a good idea of what’s at stake savings-wise though, here’s the headsets’ base prices:

  • Acer Headset + Controllers – $400
  • Lenovo Explorer + Controllers – $400
  • Dell Visor + Controllers – $450
  • HP Headset + Controllers – $450

Oh, and check out our review of Acer’s headset for a deep dive on what makes Windows VR headsets tick.

The Best Windows Mixed Reality Headset Cyber Monday Deal – Lenovo Explorer

If you want to join the ‘Windows Mixed Reality’ ecosystem and don’t care about the small differences between the first generation of Windows VR headsets, the best deal so far is the Lenovo Explorer for $300 from the Microsoft Store, a $100 savings which includes the headset and controllers. The deal lasts until 11:59 PM PST on November 27th.

This is by far the cheapest Windows VR headset on offer, making it the best deal out of the lot, however Microsoft is also offering discounts ranging from $50 to $100 on the other Windows VR headsets too:

The Best VR Ready PC + Windows VR Headset Bundle Cyber Monday Deal

Want to pick up a Windows VR headset but need a Windows VR PC to go along with it? The best deal we’ve found so far is this VR Ready PC and HP Mixed Reality headset bundle from Microsoft for $750.

Other Windows VR Headset Deals to Consider

There aren’t an abundance of game bundles, or other deals coming along with the headsets this year, as it seems Microsoft has set made the deals exclusive to the Microsoft Store. There are some interesting hardware bundles though if you don’t have a computer capable of running more intense applications and games:

There’s also the ongoing Steam Autumn Sale where you can save big on VR games (many of which now support Windows VR headsets).
