Best 2021 Prime Day VR Deals
The best Prime Day VR deals in 2021 are live now and continue through June 22. You can check the Prime Day landing page for Lightning Deals, and we will share more discounts as we find them.
Baodancat VR Headband—$27.99 ($15 off)
One of the best investments I made in VR was a new headband for my Oculus Quest 2 headset. The stretchy band that comes with the Quest 2 is fine to get started, but it's not comfortable for extended play. Adding one like this elite headband from Baodancat is a perfect way to extend your time, but also to take the device on and off. The plastic on the back cradles your head and relieves pressure from your crown. The twist dial makes it easy to get the right size in seconds, instead of minutes.

Nufr VR Controller Grip Covers—$11.99 ($3 off)
Adding new controller grips might not seem like a big deal, but the rubber cover will keep sweat from making them slippery. Beyond the extra sporty feel, these have straps that are easy to attach without needing to fiddle with the default loops that come with the controllers. Fitness might be the killer VR app experience and having secure grips on the controller will be key to avoiding breaking something in your home.

Amavasion VR Gaming Earphones—$14.32 ($3.58 off)
As you probably already know, Bluetooth headphones don't work well for VR, because if the audio and video don't match perfectly, it could make you feel sick. If you no longer have a pair of wired earbuds available, these are perfectly suited to fit the unique characteristics of the Quest 2 headset. They're short and won't tangle in your hands.

Cosmark Travel Case—$19.19 ($4.80 off)
Having a travel case for your headset is great to be able to take it out of the house and travel with it. This one includes a lens cover to protect from dust and scratches, as well as a carrying strap. Plus, it can fit multiple accessories and works with one of the rigid, hard plastic headbands. Even if you don't plan on traveling with it, having a case makes storing your VR headset at home a nice, convenient option.

Animiel Oculus Link Cable—$15.99 ($4 off)
For those that want to take VR gaming to the next level, you'll want (or need) a link cable to connect your headset to a computer. This one is 16-feet and has a data transfer rate of up to 5 gigabits per second. That will allow you to connect with the Oculus Link program and not see any lag. The USB-C port is angled so it does not stick out from the headset weirdly, too.
