The best Apple Vision Pro alternatives in 2024
Well, the Apple Vision Pro is rather pricey! It's easily the best mixed reality headset yet, but that $3,499 price tag is a very tough pill to swallow. Luckily, there are some great alternatives that are available for far cheaper prices.
The Vision Pro's sky-high cost comes with the best display technology (micro-OLED with 23 million pixels), incredible tracking (2 main cameras, 6 world-facing tracking cameras, 4 eye-tracking cameras, TrueDepth camera, LiDAR scanner, 4 inertial measurement units, flicker sensor and ambient light sensor), and a carefully-built software experience in visionOS.
But this is a first generation product, and an expensive one at that. There are still certain things that competing devices do better — such as a wider viewing angle in some of the best VR headsets, integrating the battery pack onto the headset itself or offering a similar spatial computing experience in a device as small as a pair of AR glasses.
That's why each of these options below stand out. Not only that, but you are guaranteed to save at least $1,500 by taking your pick from this bunch. Read below to see what they are.
