PS VR2? I don’t want to use a Playstation 5. Valve Index? Too Big. Meta Quest 3? I don’t want to deal with Mark Zuckerberg's wackiness. Thankfully, a new headset to end all headsets has reared its tiny little head. The Bigscreen Beyond is an incredible headset with 2 micro-OLED displays, pancake lenses in the tiniest package we’ve yet seen.

I've had mine for a couple weeks now and it is an absolute game-changer. A lot of people complain about it not being self-contained or because it requires SteamVR lighthouses, but I agree—it's next gen. It's the most "wow" moment I've had since the original Vive. Completely disappears on your face if you're tethered.
-
It’s always nice to see new players in the VR field that actually innovate and don’t just keep reselling the same thing with an expected spec bump.
-
I've consistently stated VR won't be in until it feels more like glasses than a computer strapped to your head. This looks to be a trailblazer in achieving that.
-
3:49 "Yeah, child labor!" The children yearn for the mines.
-
FYI, if anyone is wondering. The headset itself is $999, but does not include any form of headphones, trackers, or controllers. So if you add controllers and the optional headphones, the price goes up to around what Linus stated
-
“You borrow a friend’s iPhone.” Linus knows his audience. 😂
-
i can't wait until this size is the norm. the feeling of having a monitor taped to my face is the biggest reason i don't use my headset that much.
-
This is one of the only VR headsets I’ve seen that actually looks like it was designed for humans
-
This is actually insane I thought it would be at least another 5-10 years before headsets got this small. This is literally Ready Player One technology. Simply amazing.
-
The way Linus's daughter is trying her hardest to look sad when in reality she's basically on the brink of laughter is the most adorable thing I've seen all week.
-
"3-D scan Linus can't hurt you" 3-D scan Linus: 0:18
-
2:24 "You simply borrow a friend's iPhone...". LMAO. Spot on. Thank you. That made my day! 😂😂
-
This is the first VR headset that actually looks cool while you're wearing it. All the other VR headsets look very tonka-toy bulky, but this one looks very sci-fi.
-
I still feel like this is a bit like a very refined prototype, where the next version is going to be the one you really want to get.
-
This level of VR innovation is really exciting. Excited to see how far this goes in the coming years.
-
I'm pretty sure this is JUST the beginning. It's going to get a LOT better over the next few years!
-
It's very good to see a big tech reviewer reviewing this headset. Really helps getting this product out there
-
Oh snap. This finally looks like the experience the kid I was 30 years ago thought we were getting when home-PC VR headsets (more like helmets…) were first becoming a thing you could go out, buy and plug into your home computer. Definitely going onto the ’buy’ -list if I’m still alive and kicking in a couple of years.
-
seeing this reminded me of the movie "ready player one", and given that it was one of my favorite gaming concepts for the future, this is starting to look insanely close to it and I LOVE IT!
-
This is exciting. Small form factor goggles are so important right now to the future of VR. The more that we can eliminate the "hassle" of VR, the better.
