Arctis Nova Pro Wireless Falls to $239.99 in Damaged-Box Sale

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset is on sale for $239.99 (typically $300–$350 elsewhere), with Xbox and PlayStation variants available in black and white and Bluetooth connectivity via a base station. The discount comes because the packaging is damaged, but the hardware is unused and carries the same one-year warranty as new units. It’s a feature-packed, high-end wireless headset—ANC, swappable batteries, Bluetooth, and multi-input base—but it’s heavier than some SteelSeries models and worth considering against newer options.

"Quest 3: Surprising Popularity, Multiple Accounts, and Mic Issues"

Data suggests that the more expensive 512GB model of the Quest 3 virtual reality headset from Meta may be more popular than expected, as delivery estimates for this model are longer compared to the 128GB model. Possible explanations include Meta underestimating demand, allocating more inventory to third-party retailers, or facing manufacturing constraints. The availability of Quest 3 in various stores will continue to be monitored.

Ukraine's Cheap and Innovative Military Tech Thwarts Russian Invasion

Ukrainian company Himera Tech, part of a government incubator called Brave 1, is producing cheaper jam-resistant radio headsets for troops fighting against Russia. While these headsets may not be effective against the electronic warfare systems of the US or China, they are designed to be sufficient for combatting Russian forces. Himera Tech's approach involves using readily available chips instead of military-grade ones, making the headsets more affordable but less secure. This initiative is part of a larger trend in Ukraine, where locals are developing their own military equipment, including 3D-printed bombs, power banks made from discarded e-cigarettes, and robots for supply and evacuation purposes.

Comparing Apple's Vision Pro and Meta Quest Pro VR headsets.

The article compares the design, specs, features, software, and price of the Meta Quest Pro and Apple Vision Pro VR headsets.

Apple's AR Headset Lineup Expands with Vision Pro and Affordable Models.

Apple is reportedly working on a cheaper variant of its recently launched $3,499 augmented reality headset, the Vision Pro, which could be launched as early as the end of 2025. The cheaper version may use lower-quality displays, a less powerful chip, fewer cameras, and a simplified headband design. Apple is also said to be working on a follow-up to the Vision Pro with an even faster processor, which likely won't be any cheaper than the first one. The Vision Pro is expensive to produce, with the $3,499 price tag being "at or near the cost to make it."

Apple's VR headset: A polarizing topic in the tech world.

Apple is expected to unveil its Reality Pro headset at its Worldwide Developer Conference, which will offer VR FaceTime calls, immersive video, and an external display for connected Mac computers, among other features. However, the company has not yet discovered a "killer app" for the device that justifies its high price tag and drives everyday use. Sales of VR headsets have been lackluster, and enthusiasm for digital experiences has dimmed. Apple's near-term ambitions are prudently cautious, but the company envisions a world where knowledge workers wear headsets like this all day.

"Apple's Platform Shift: What to Expect"

Apple is expected to unveil its Reality Pro headset at its Worldwide Developer Conference, which aims to serve a variety of productivity uses beyond gaming. However, the company has not yet discovered a "killer app" for the device. Meanwhile, Facebook's Meta owns roughly 80% of the market with its Quest and Quest Pro headsets, but headset sales are down 54.4% YoY, and revenue from Meta's Reality Labs division was down 50% last quarter compared to the previous year. It remains to be seen whether either Meta or Apple can solve the tendency of consumers who have bought the devices to toss them into a drawer and forget them.
