Online retailer Powerplanet has reduced the price of the Meta Quest Pro 256GB virtual reality headset to 649 euros. The offer cuts more than 550 euros from its regular market price of over 1,200 euros.
Purchases from the official Powerplanet website include free 24-hour delivery, an extended 30-day return window, and a three-year official warranty. The mixed reality device incorporates advanced pancake optics and facial tracking sensors.
The headset runs on a Snapdragon XR2+ performance platform paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. This combination delivers 50 percent more power while maintaining thermal management.
Its optical system uses Pancake lenses with local backlighting from more than 500 LEDs. The LCD displays deliver bright colors and sharp images inside a design that is 40 percent thinner than previous models.
Hardware and Tracking Features
Full-color passthrough technology uses external stereoscopic cameras to blend physical surroundings with dynamic three-dimensional elements. Eye tracking and facial expression sensors add realism to virtual avatars, while eye image data is processed locally inside the headset for privacy.
The headset balances its weight by placing the battery at the rear and includes mechanical adjustment for interpupillary distances between 55 and 75 millimeters. Included Meta Quest Touch Pro controllers use three sensors per controller for 360-degree spatial tracking alongside TruTouch haptic feedback.
Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Users can connect the headset to a gaming PC using Meta Link or Air Link for high-speed transmission without lag.
