In short
2e is Beyond 2 plus built-in eye tracking. Same 107 g / 116° trio. Keep blog $1,159 versus the shared PDP $899 / $959 mix. Not a later add-on to Beyond 2.
Who it is for
- Owners who specifically want Bigscreen’s built-in 2e eye tracking / DFR / VRChat eye contact.
Who should skip it
- Shoppers of Beyond 2 without eye tracking. That is a different slug.
- Anyone without DP 1.4 + SteamVR base stations.
- People who hope to add eye tracking later. FAQ: 2e only, not an upgrade.
- Glasses-in-headset users. Same too-small visor; 2e needs 2025+ inserts.
Key differentiators
- Same 2560×2560 / 75–90 Hz / 116° D / 107 g panel as Beyond 2.
- Built-in eye tracking (grain-of-sand cameras). DFR + social eye contact (store).
- Not a later upgrade path from Beyond 2 (FAQ).
Caveats
- Price mix on the shared PDP ($899 / $959) versus blog 2e from $1,159. Date the URL; do not pick one.
- 107 g is headset only.
- Pre-2025 Beyond 1 inserts are not physically compatible with 2e (store Q&A).
- No hands-on testing.
