Do you mean an Oculus 2 headset?

Yes, I do

Whether it's 'worth it' depends a lot on how much $299 means to you.

It's pretty freaking cool, I can tell ya that. But I use mine for gaming, not workouts (though a couple of my games are reasonable 'workouts').

I pretty much got it to play Half Life: Alyx. Which is a freaking amazing game. But ... not for everyone. Since then I've played a few others. I like having it, but if I didn't, I wouldn't be that bummed, now that I've played Alyx.

It depends on the app you want to run on them. Check the app reviews. dutch777 Feb 2021 #5
