Despite rising component costs and inflation, the company also dropped the Beyond 2e model—which includes onboard eye-tracking—to $1,159 from $1,219.
Hardware Updates and Packaging Changes
Alongside the price cuts, Bigscreen confirmed that the standard Beyond 2 now ships bundled with the Universal-Fit Cushion. This thin silicone light seal comes in both soft and firm varieties, offering an alternative to the custom facial interface introduced at the headset’s launch in June 2025, which previously required users to submit iPhone facial scans.
Halo Mount Production and Shipping Estimates
Production on the headset’s long-awaited Halo Mount has officially resumed following a major redesign prompted by negative tester feedback late last year. A subsequent delay in June required an additional minor redesign of the device’s sledge link component to better distribute the 107-gram headset’s weight.
Pro Tip: When ordering through the Bigscreen store, check the live checkout screen for accurate estimates, as high demand and recent freight delays mean some current orders may take up to two weeks to ship before regular operations resume.
Current Inventory and Delivery Timelines
High recent demand paired with a delayed freight shipment has left the manufacturer with very low inventory for both the Beyond 2 and Beyond 2e systems. While select orders continue to ship on the same day, others face up to a two-week delay. Bigscreen expects to restore its standard one-to-two business day shipping window by September 14th.
