For nearly three weeks, I’ve been testing the limits of Valve’s Steam Frame, the company’s new wearable PC. At first glance, it’s easy to write it off as a pricey headset that missed the VR craze. At $1,059 with 256GB of storage or $1,299 for 1TB, it costs two to three times as much as similar-looking headsets from Meta.
You should not write it off that way. The Steam Frame isn’t just a VR headset. It’s not even primarily a VR headset. And it’s the most comfortable headset I’ve ever worn. It weighs just over 1 pound (469g) with its optional top head strap attached, and doesn’t leave a mark on my face even after hours of use.
