When the Oculus Quest 2 launched last October, no one could have predicted just how well it would go on to sell. Over the past year alone, we've seen the headset rebranded to Meta Quest 2 — owing to the namesake change of what is now Facebook's parent company, Meta — and the headset hit a magic milestone that Meta's VR team has been aiming for since its launch: 10 million units sold.That number comes from the latest Qualcomm investor day presentation and it corroborates what we've been seeing all year long. The Quest 2 is the best selling VR headset by a significant amount, doubling Sony's PSVR sales — which were around 5 million at the end of 2019, the last publicly-available figure Sony boasted about — and it achieved all of this in just a single year of availability, while the PSVR has been around since 2016.But why has it been so successful? In a nutshell: it's the damned finest VR experience you'll get anywhere, and it only costs $300.This isn't a sponsored post or...

Streaming everything from movies to music has become so normal for many people that having an excellent streaming device is almost essential. Cyber Monday is a fantastic time to pick one up for yourself or someone else. Amongst all of the options out there to pick from, Google has some of the best. So keeping an eye out for some awesome Chromecast deals is a wise plan.Google's Chromecast was one of the first devices to simplify sending content from our phones to our TV. All by simply plugging in a small HDMI device and connecting it to Wi-Fi — all the way back in 2013. Since then, there has been a lot of evolution for that little dongle, and the latest version is the Chromecast with Google TV. This iteration of the streaming device brings all of the functionality of the original Chromecast we love, bumps up the quality to ultra-high-definition 4K, packs in a wonderful interface, and brings its own remote control.Until the Chromecast with Google TV, whatever device was casting t...

Among the best Cyber Monda Fitbit deals, the biggest discount we've seen by far is on the Fitbit Sense. Most of the best Fitbit trackers are receiving a $50 discount for Black Friday, but the Sense has regularly dropped $100 off its list price throughout November with every major retailer.At $200, the Fitbit Sense isn't cheap but drops to a reasonable level for people that need more than just a fitness watch. It's also designed to keep a close eye on your health, and it looks good doing it.One of the best smartwatches for measuring health data, the Fitbit Sense has an electrocardiogram (ECG) for measuring irregular heartbeats, an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor for tracking stress, and a temperature sensor. Plus, of course, you get other popular data like heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and sleep tracking.In our Fitbit Sense review, we praised the Sense for its stylish, comfortable design and gorgeous OLED display. It also has all the bells and whistles you want in a sma...

When choosing the best Fitbit, there's one clear winner if price is no object: the Fitbit Versa 3. It's a premium fitness smartwatch with useful health sensors to track your progress across your workouts. And while it's a bit expensive at full price, Fitbit marked it down to $180, a $50 savings.So far, the cheapest deal we've seen on the Versa 3 was during Cyber Monday last year, when it dropped $30 to $200. Fitbit has remained fairly stingy with Versa 3 deals, likely due to its popularity. So we don't expect any site to top this deal anytime soon, though Amazon could surprise us with a Lightning Deal.Throughout November, Cyber Monday Fitbit deals have come and gone. What's notable is that across all retailers and each wave of deals, sale prices haven't changed. The Versa 3, Charge 5, and Luxe are $50 off, while the Sense is $100 off. They'd go back to full price, only to slip back to the same sale prices a week later.In other words, if you want a Versa 3, don't wait. With an...

The best Black Friday smartwatch deals this year range from $20 off to an astounding $200 off, depending on the brand, but no deal is better than the $100 savings Amazon has for the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS this Black Friday.While the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is probably the most well-known household name, Mobvoi has upped the ante with the TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra GPS and has created a smartwatch that simply does things other watches can't.

This beautiful budget phone is both future-proofed and future-hampered.I've loved OnePlus phones since the OG OnePlus One was released back in 2014. The idea of the plucky startup enthusiast brand (contrived as it may have been) was immediately appealing, as was the value proposition of getting really good hardware (with some acceptable drawbacks) paired with clean, beautiful software at an affordable price. It's a legacy that OnePlus has managed to hold on to and develop over the years, even as its prices pushed higher and higher with each upgrade cycle.Even though the company's flagship devices like the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro have received critical acclaim over the past couple of years, opposing forces have been trying to pull the company back downmarket. Some of that comes from longtime fans who miss the days of its value devices, but much of it comes from the company's leadership. The real area for smartphone growth right now is at the entry-level and mid-tier. With the exit of ...

Roku may not be as refined compared to Android TV, but it brings a huge selection of apps and channels to the table. There's a lot to love in Roku TV products, especially the fact that some of them are so cheap. Walmart generously decided to lower their prices for some of the best Roku products even more this holiday season, with deals continuing until Cyber Monday.As a special treat, Roku has launched a special edition of its TV box called the Roku LE and it's only selling at Walmart.

You can only stream content in HD on it but it is super affordable. Priced at only $15, the Roku LE is the perfect Roku TV box for beginners or students on a strict budget.Other buyers with more mula can rejoice for there are other deals on bigger and badder Roku devices, and these aren't Walmart exclusives. There's the Roku Streaming Stick 4K which offers Dolby Vision ...
