Best Standalone PCVR Meta alternatives under $1000?

Purchase Advice

I’ve been looking at getting a standalone (inside out tracking) PCVR headset and controllers for a while now, and I’m trying to explore my options. I need something that simply connects to my PC and plays VR games wirelessly, alongside the occasional YouTube video and virtual desktop work.

Am in the U.S. for purchases.

I know everyone likes to go with the Meta Quest 3, but I’ve also looked at stuff like the Pico 4 Ultra and HTC VIVE Focus Vision.

The full package including headset and controllers shouldn’t exceed $1000 (preferably less than $1k)
