The Steam Frame is made for irresponsible hardware nerds like me
The short version
- 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.
- The Steam Frame isn't just 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.
The story
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.

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.
