Reviews

Good!

"Excellent headset. I'm happy with it. Excellent support. It was shipped very quickly. Very lightweight. Good clarity. There is some glare, but you can get used to it. Compared to my HTC VIVE Pro2, it's a huge improvement. The field of view isn't much narrower, but the clarity across the entire field is stunning, even though the brightness is lower."

Still waiting…

"Ordered the BS2 with halo strap weeks ago. Order did ship promptly, but without halo strap. Initial tests show it’s promising: very lightweight, quite dark, noticeable glare, got my IPD dialed in by an optometrist, so sweet spot seems OK (unverified, still waiting for Halo strap). In all,I’m waiting (since weeks) for the halo strap to ship. I would have preferred if I was told beforehand that the strap wasn’t available. Disappointing."

This headset is a dream

"I finally caved in and got my bigscreen beyond 2e after several months of feeling on the edge of weather I should buy it or not. Its so much better than I was even expecting! Yes, there is some glare but its nothing near as bad as all the reviews online have said. I seriously don't even notice it at all unless I am looking for it and even then its not all the time and it doesnt bother me at all. I have used an Index and a Quest 3 long term and this blows those out of the water! The resolution is insane coming from Quest 3 to me and the OLED screen making darkness really pitch black looks insane! I am so happy with this headset. The custom facial interface also fit me PERFECTLY! Its unreal. No light leakage at all, its squishier than I expected and feels very comfortable. It can get a little hot so I recommend a fabric interface for long intense sessions but for what it is, its incredible. The size and weight is also just ridiculous. I love this thing!"

is good

"heard a lot about people having issues with bsb2, personally, setting up the eye tracking was super simple and easy although i did have a friend to tell me what stuff to use and how to set it properly which significantly helped and made it easier, the first time i used the headset, i wasnt used to it ofc, so the oled displays having much darker blacks made vrchat scarier to me lol but you get used to it since its a new display, its very light and good for sleeping with as out of everything ive probably spent most of my time with it sleeping so far lol"

Pretty good experience overall, but

"Pretty good experience overall, but the device stays very warm when its turned off, but plugged in to the computer. Would really like to be able to turn it off and not have to unplug it every time"

— Tord (4/5)

"Everything worked well but the Glare was too much for me, for that price. If you plan on returning the product. You don't get refunded for the 3d fitting for your face. Also you have to pay shipping to send it back. I have no problems how returning the the product ended up but the glare. I tried to use it for virtual monitors and playing flat screen games."

Beyond Expectations

"Night 1, after hours of setting up base stations, I was honesly underwhelmed. I was tired, and I hadn't configured eyetracking on my 2e. I tried DCS for half an hour, then completely exhausted gave up. Night 2: BLOWN AWAY! Coming from a Quest 2, the MicroOLEDs, and the ergonomics are sublime. Yes, there is some glare in dark scenes when there are bright lights on the screen. They eyetracking works very well, and DCS's support for it allows for an excellent experience. *Make sure you wash your gasket frequently. It hugs your face very well, and will keep sweat and bacteria there. In 10 days of ownership, I'm well over 24 hours in headset, and excited for thousands more!"

Great headset, Even better customer support

"The Bigscreen beyond is a great headset, it works well and I love the form factor. The only thing I dislike is the facial interface, really looking forward to the universal one. But the best part about the headset is the awesome customer support that comes with it. I had an issue with mine, and after troubleshooting with one of the support crew and not being able to fix the issue they promptly sent out a replacement. Greg was great to deal with. Thanks!"

— Dion (5/5)

"The headset is amazing. It's lightweight and comfortable just as branded. It blocks all light from my surroundings and rests in a better spot on my face than my other headsets. The clip for the tether makes me almost forget it's even there. I received it with the audio strap which has the best audio of any device I've used. My only problem is that I had issues with the link box shortly after arrival, but support was very helpful and sent a replacement immediately."

Q&A

Is there any known favorable option for face-tracking addition to this headset? First or Third party?
Hi Piecrust! While no first party face tracking options are available, a common recommendation is using FT from project babble, such as https://babble.diy/ Or from Venti https://ventifbt.store/products/venti-babble-face-tracker If you join the Babble community, they may be able to assist in finding more options! https://discord.com/invite/babble
Is it possible to order the big screen beyond 2 without the silicon face cushion & use a third party face cushion.
Yep, certainly can! Just grab the Beyond 2 upgrade kit plus the accessories bundle - this will give you everything you need, minus the facial interface. https://store.bigscreenvr.com/products/bigscreen-beyond-2-upgrade (SteamVR accessories like base stations and controllers sold separately)
Does the Beyond 2e have eyelid tracking? Specifically asking for VRChat and curious if the trackers will just follow pupil movement.
We currently support many eye-tracking features such as blinking and VRCFT integration. More features are planned for 2026 such as winking (per-eye), gradual blink, eye wideness and even pupil dilation.
Which controllers are compatible with the Beyond 2e? As far as I know, you can't buy Valve Index Controllers on the official Steam page anymore so I was wondering if there are any alternatives.
Hi! If desired, it is still possible to purchase a pair of Valve Index controllers, though they need to be purchased separately instead of together. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1615160/Valve_Index_Replacement_Left_Controller/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1615180/Valve_Index_Replacement_Right_Controller/ However, there are a variety of alternatives in the SteamVR ecosystem, should you wish to pursue them! HTC Vive Controllers (2.0 compatible): https://www.vive.com/us/accessory/controller2018/ Shiftall FlipVR: https://en.shiftall.net/products/flipvr And GripVR https://en.shiftall.net/products/gripvr Pimax Sword: https://pimax.com/products/pimax-sword-controller UDCAP Gloves: https://udexreal.com/ eTee Controllers: https://eteexr.com/
Hey! Do your prescription lenses fit in the Beyond 2e? I can't find a straight answer...
Yes, new prescription lens insert orders are fully compatible with the Beyond 2e! Lens inserts made before 2025 (i.e for the Beyond 1) are compatible with the Beyond 1 and 2, but not the 2e due to physical size constraints.
*Orders are fully refundable reservations. You may cancel your reservation at any time before the product ships and receive a full refund to the original payment method by emailing support@bigscreenvr.com. The headset is also eligible for return within 14 days of the delivery date. Custom-made accessories such as the Custom-Fit Cushion and Prescription Lenses are nonrefundable once manufactured.
