Setting you free from wires and cords, the Quest 2 sends you off into a virtual reality that many people love for both gaming and working out. Meta mentions this model is compatible with over 500 titles of games, fitness, and entertainment options.

If you've been worried about injuring yourself or your belongings while in the virtual reality, don't fret. The Meta Quest 2 includes a Guardian boundary so you can indicate your desired play area and you'll get an alert if you travel outside of that designated space.

The two touch controllers are lightweight and come with wrist straps that can help with keeping the controllers in your hands. Since the Quest 2 has a wireless connection and a built-in battery, you can pack it along to a friend's house or on your next weekend getaway.

If you've been curious about a virtual reality headset but felt the price tag was pretty steep, today's deal at Amazon should help ease some hesitation. Hurry to score the Meta Quest 2 for just $199.
