HTC Vive headsets were among the first virtual reality devices to captivate the public consciousness during the VR revival of the late 2010s. We remember heady days spent strolling around in Walkabout Mini Golf and some heroic-feeling moments playing Superhot.
They were top-notch from the start – but HTC headsets have come a long way since then, with new models including the Vive XR Elite and the Vive Pro 2 now offering superior resolution and a host of experiential upgrades.
If you're looking to pick up one of these higher-spec Vive headsets, now would be a smart time to buy, as HTC is currently offering some huge discounts on premium models.

Save on HTC Vive headsets
There are a few HTC Vive products that are on sale, and it just so happens that a couple are among the brand's highest-spec VR devices.
The Vive XR Elite is currently available with a saving of £300, bringing the headset's price down to £999 (usually £1,299).
Amazon's spring sale has dropped the price even further for a limited time – with the Vive XR Elite set at £898.98. That's a saving of £400.
A best-of-both-worlds device, the Vive XR Elite can be used for both PCVR experiences (when connected to a suitably souped-up PC) and for standalone XR sessions.
Meanwhile, the Vive Pro 2 Full Kit virtual reality system is sold out on HTC's official store but is discounted by £500 as part of Amazon's spring sale. For a limited time, it is available for £899 (usually £1,300).
This powerful VR kit is built for PCVR experiences, which rely on a compatible computer (not included). It features 5K resolution, a 120-degree field-of-view and a 120Hz refresh rate – all of which combine to make the virtual feel a little bit closer to reality.
