Okay, so here’s the scoop on Bigscreen and their latest, the Beyond 2. Honestly, this whole thing feels like a saga. First there was this delay in getting things out the door, and now they’re like, “Hey, the headsets are on their way!” But with a catch—there’s a backlog. Apparently, they’re stuck in pre-order chaos, which is… kind of hilarious if you think about it.
They’re promising the new orders, if you jump on board now, should start popping out between August and September. But, hmm, we’ll see. Clearing that backlog by late September? Someone’s ambitious.
Oh, and it’s two versions we’re talking about: Beyond 2 basic and then Beyond 2e with the eye-tracking jazz. Fancy, right? But get ready to fork over $1,019 for the basic, and if you’re feeling eye-spy-ish, $1,219 is your ticket. All direct from Bigscreen. Probably should save up.
The popularity? Through the roof—I mean, they outsold their prior model by a wild amount in just 24 hours. Honestly, who would’ve thought? So now they’re hustling to ramp up production in LA. There’s a whole recruiters’ dream happening too—new technicians and support staff. I bet the job market is buzzing.
If you’re one of those folks with a soft spot for comfort, orders with Custom-Fit Cushions are supposed to leave the building by mid-August. But those Halo Mount things? Slightly bad news—they’re backed up till September or October.
And a shoutout to anyone still holding on for a Beyond 1—good news, you’re getting upgraded to a Beyond 2. It’s like a freebie upgrade. They say shipments for those will be wrapped up by July 25th. Fingers crossed they’re not slacking.
Lastly, a tip of the hat to Bigscreen for holding steady on the pricing front, even with those pesky tariffs causing havoc on imports. At least they’re not passing that pain onto us.
