VR HEADSET
HTC VIVE PRO 2
$799.00
It’s been a relatively light year for compelling new VR headsets, but the HTC Vive
Pro 2 stands out from the competition thanks to the highest resolution and
sharpest picture we’ve seen in consumer VR. The Vive Pro 2 is pricey and needs
some extra components to get running, but you can combine it with the still-
revolutionary Valve Index motion controllers for the best high-end VR experience
available.

GAMING CHAIR
SECRETLAB TITAN EVO
$429.00
Secretlab improves its already excellent Titan chair by including several clever
quality-of-life enhancements, such as a magnetic head pillow, swappable
armrests, and improved lumbar support. In addition, the Titan EVO’s sturdy,
comfortable materials once again rank as some of the best in the gaming-chair
category. These elements combine to form the best seat we tested in 2021.

GAMING CONSOLE
NINTENDO SWITCH - OLED MODEL
$349.99
With the OLED Switch, Nintendo makes its mega-popular console-handheld
hybrid even better. Games pop like never before in vibrant, gorgeous color,
thanks to the larger OLED screen. Other welcome upgrades include increased
internal storage, an Ethernet-equipped dock, improved speakers, and a much
wider kickstand. Although TV players won’t see as many benefits as handheld
players, and the Joy-Con controllers remain unchanged, the Nintendo Switch
- OLED Model is now the ultimate way to enjoy Nintendo Switch games in any
location.
