Any non-meta headset recommendations?

Search Amazon for “Windows Mixed Reality Headset”. If you are searching around Black Friday you might be able to find one for $300 or so.

These are the cheapest VR headsets out there, typically made by companies you’ve heard of but don’t associate with VR (mine is made by HP!)

They plug into a computer (unlike Facebook’s and Apple’s headsets that are self-contained computers).

If you don’t want to be plugged in with wires, Valve makes a wireless kit for the Vive. That set up isn’t cheap though.

When looking for a headset, consider weight important. The heavier the headset, the more uncomfortable it will be. Mine is one of the lighter ones and my head starts to hurt after about 2 hours.

Windows MR was deprecated and cannot run on the newest version of Windows; running older versions of Windows will only have support for it through to ~2026. It's very unfortunate that it's not long for this world because I hear the HP Reverb G2 is still a great headset.

Edit: If you're looking for a cheap headset, the best option is usually on Craigslist/Marketplace. Used first-generation headsets (meaning the two Oculus Rift models, early HTC headsets) which are still in perfectly workable condition go for only $100-$200.

Didn't they effectively kill the oculus rifts with required logins and no more support?

It still runs SteamVR games very well.
