I love how everyone says 'basic use', and then 'browsing' is the first thing out of their mouths. A browser is incredibly complex. Web pages take a ton of power to render, and require a display that approaches 'standard' resolutions to be useful.

Of all the things I'd use a near-eye display for, browsing is literally the last on the list. It's an application where more screen real-estate is always better, and you'll never get enough.

It sounds to me like you're just looking to buy something, and the bottom line is that regular people just don't want to wear a computer around. Especially when it'll be less capable for browsing than a phone, and that's all that most people want to do.

As for suggestions, there are things on the market at varying costs. Here are some links to things of different styles, maybe one of them will be what you're looking for.

Glyph headphones These were a big deal when they were first being introduced a few years ago, but they didn't sell well at all. I think people just considered them 'silly'. I just noticed they're under $200 now, and I've considered picking up a pair to try them out.
Blade AR These are more recent, and probably more interesting in general. Reviews for these kinds of things are always middling at best, so I don't know how well they really work. Personally, I wouldn't buy them because I'm not sure if I could hack the display for an external computer, and this looks like it's meant to be more like VR glasses than a near-eye display. But, if you want an out of the box experience, maybe look that direction?
VISIONHMD These are your pretty standard display glasses. Recent generations of these have just had their asses kicked by cheap VR. Most VR uses a phone display, which are easy to find and really cheap. That means a device like this, using actual near-eye technology is expensive to produce by comparison, and it can't do VR, the one application people think of when they pick up a headset. That said, the prices are dropping on these and the res is pretty good. I could see buying a pair just to remove the displays, personally, but if you just want a small computer you could probably add a pi to the strap and have something usable here.
Vuefine This is definitely something more my speed. This is a single eye, reasonably good resolution, basic HDMI interface display. Stripping these down isn't be that hard, and I can hang them off just about anything.

So, depending on what you want, there are definitely options.

That's kind of defeating the whole purpose of VR. Check out this video to get a better understanding of it: https://youtu.be/Jd3-eiid-Uw. It doesn't display a window attached to your face, it displays the window in virtual space and you can move around it.

If you're just looking for a head mounted display that doesn't track movement at all, you could try something like the avegant glyph https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQWK336/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0kD3Db3KWKFPF. It's significantly easier to use and you don't need a computer running steamvr or anything, you just need an HDMI input. This sounds more like what you're looking for, but I'm not sure whether or not it's something you would actually like. It's a pretty low tech solution and the field of view is very tiny, unlike proper VR. This field of view being small is not due to the technology being bad, it's because if it were to take up your field of view without doing motion tracking, it would be quite sickness inducing. This is why you wouldn't want to just disable motion tracking on a real VR headset.
