An executive order from President Trump has exempted many electronics from a steep 145% reciprocal tariff rate, which is likely to benefit VR headsets, although a 20% tariff remains in effect as of March 2025.

The US Harmonized Tariff Schedule is still evolving, but Bigscreen had anticipated these tariff impacts prior to the announcement of the Beyond 2 headset.

In contrast, Pimax, a competitor in the PC VR market, has responded to tariffs by implementing a $95 surcharge on its 'Pimax Prime' software subscription to maintain pricing parity for its flagship Crystal Super headset.

The company has committed to absorbing all costs associated with tariffs, trade wars, and supply chain disruptions, ensuring that there will be no price increase in the foreseeable future.

Bigscreen has announced that its Beyond 2 PC VR headset will retain its price of $1,019, despite the new tariffs imposed by the US government.

Customers purchasing the headset will not face any additional shipping fees, tariffs, import duties, taxes, or VAT, as the final price includes no hidden charges.

Bigscreen sources components from various regions, including China, Japan, and Europe, with final assembly taking place in Los Angeles.
