Thx
Quest 2 is fine for now, and as it has sold over 20 million units, developers aren't gonna stop support anytime soon. Meta will continue selling it as the cheaper option (quest lite rumors might change that though but what it is , is yet to be seen). I'll wait for a quest 4 until passthrough gets REALLY good. Until then my quest 2 will carry me along for a few more years.
The Quest 3 pass through is good enough tho, it’s better than the quest pro.
Is it worth switching from the quest 1 straight to the 3?
@@Skateboarder2025 the difference between a quest one and a Quest 3 is massive, if you have the money, it’s a 100% yes.
@@WertyTT4it’s actually crazy good! I love it
The Q3 doesn't feel like a massive jump like the Q2 was to the Q1, I almost exclusively play SteamVR using the Quest 2, so I see no point in upgrading for a while aswell.
Twelve HUNDRED dollars for a vacuum?!?
I got a quest 2 for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I won’t be updating to quest 3 anytime soon.
Amazingg may you enjoy it as long as possible!
I have both and the quest 3 is a huge step up in comfort and the cameras are a huge upgrade for someone who needs to see their mouse/keyboard frequently while "flying"
I have heard that the head straps are more uncomfortable. Is that true? And if so, are there any additions you would recommend to buy?
@@ArestinioAlvarezpretty sure it just depends how it fits you, so there's a 50-50 chance.
Don't fly and use a headset
@@everythingpony not what he meant by "flying"
What
I agree except for a new VR user, I would recommend Q3. I've found that new VR users don't understand the lens sweet spot and Q3 is so much better in that category.
I’d recommend the 2, I have friends and family both with a VR headsets they rarely use anymore. I mainly use mine to watch movies now in the Big Screen app. I’d say get the 2 and if they end up liking if over the course of a year of two. Sell it and upgrade, or it’ll just be a big paper weight.
I feel like a new VR user should test whether or not they will even like the VR with the Quest 2. There are multitudes of things to consider when having a VR headset.
@@KanoogI use the Quest 2 and no. Videos look low res, everything looks blurry unless you found the perfect spot, peripheral vision is distorted and blurry. I rather pay more for the 3
I really can't recommend a Quest 3 over a Quest 2 since there's a big price gap between them 300 eu for Quest 2 and 550 euro for Quest 3. 250 euro is a lot of money to be paying extra for minor changes.
@@FelipeAriasFI agree with you.
But quest3 is still far from having perfect vision, it's just a small improvement...🫤
THE most important feature to me which for some reason VR reviewers never touch upon is FOV. Ask yourself what is the point of VR? Its to immerse yourself. And what better way to immerse yourself is there than to take up your whole field of vision? Rather than feel like youre looking through goggles. Its really a no brainer yet its often ignored. So if this headset does not improve field of view, then its not worth an upgrade from the Quest 2.
very true point, correct!
Agreed there is also no point if there aren't any decent games lol
I agree, FOV is the most important thing. Meta 3 got a boost to 110° (up from 89° on the Meta 2). I've used a Valve Index too (108°) and to me it makes all the difference.
@@robertashker9871 So it did increase it, so by his logic is worth getting
Then a headset IS the answer. It needs to be Goggles so it's very light and doesn't cause any fatigue and will forget it's there
Heart immediately dropped at 4:52 haha. "This guy is gonna smash his tv!" That was my quest xp kicking in there. 😅😂😅😂
Thanks for your video, needed more info before getting it for my boy and you have explained very well.
Glad it was helpful!
I like my Meta 2 but I might get into a Meta 3 down the road. I had the chance to compare my Meta 2 (89° FOV) to Valve Index (108° FOV) and the 19° increase in FOV makes it that much cooler. For me, immersion is more important than resolution and framerate. Meta 3 got a bump to 110° FOV.
Very nice and useful video, you should have a lot more subscribers! Congratulations and keep the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Great review 👏 hit all the points I wanted to know about without bogging me down. Keep on being awesome 👌
That's a really decent and helpful video, thank you 😊
Very helpful 👌 thanks
I wish they would say why First Encounters keeps disappearing from the store?
What was that piano game? My keyboard has been collecting dust and that looks like a great game to get back into it.
I mean, The Quest 2 should be able to handle Quest 3 exclusive games if they're also released to PC, as the GPU of the PC would be doing most of the processing, and as long as you have good wifi and/or a good cable for streaming to the Quest 2, then buying a Quest 3 immediately is nothing to worry about (besides, Augmented Reality takes up a LOT of battery power on the Quest 3(90 minutes of AR playtime)
The Quest 2 is also still getting updates for optimization despite the Quest 3's release, and has longer battery playtime than the Quest 3, (Q2: 2.5 - 3 hours, Q3: 2.2 hours playtime comparison)
I have a mid range pc and decent wifi but I don't feel like spending lots of money on the quest 3, do you recomend that i get the quest 2 and do pc vr with it?
@@FreshExp as long as your pc can run the games smoothly, the quest 2 is still a good choice for pc vr
Its cheap as well compared to the other vr headsets on the market, I've had my Quest 2 for about two years and it still works great.
with quest 3 exclusive games he meant mixed reality games, which quest 2 can't support. games that appears and you can interact with in the real world.
the tracking rings being gone is gonna be painful xD, those things saved my thumbs from hitting surfaces more times than I can count
Lol me too
Fr lol
Great explain, thanks
Thanks sir. Do you have any thoughts about the Google chromecast capabilities? I noticed on the quest 2 it is not as reliable.
Thanks Brev! I appreciate you. You helped me make a choice.
Good video, but you didn't touch on battery life. The Q3 is a bit of a battery hog. They added a battery saver mode to get it closer to the Q2, but the Q3 really needs a battery strap to make the runtime adequate.
I got the Quest 3 and the optics and AR are amazing but when a Quest 2 used is $169 like the one I sold to get the 3, it makes me wonder if I should go back. I’m just not using VR enough to justify $550 vs $169. Not sure what to do.
You can always buy a Quest 2 and then resell it at some point. It's now $200. You won't lose that much money if you resell.
@@ponderingfox Yeah I bought one for $100 and its "fine" but now with used on the 3s as low as $300 or so if you look hard I might go back again lol
@@douglarsen4801quest 3s are not as low as 300 lol. At least not anywhere I have seen.
Very Great video tho thxx bro💪🏽💯
I really want a AppleVisionPro but its really expensive, is the meta quest 3 kind of the same? PLS HELP ME
Love the vid!😊
What about FOV? My issue is the black ring I see around my field of view. Is it much better on the Q3?
yes quest 3 has 110 and the quest 2 i think 89
@joeysomarmoeder-jg9pp no real difference in the FOV. Still have the black ring. I have both now, it's been 4 months 😅
@@joeysomarmoeder-jg9pp maybe he should change his channel name to 4 months laterm
Ok, i have a question:
is it worth it to buy it, if I most of the time using air link ?
Me and sone friends have a quest 2 and tryna get more friends to get them so we can play together so I really hope the 2 is supported long enough with new releases. i find a lot of the games in the store look underwhelming so it would suck if when they finally release stuff i want it ends up on the quest 3
I'm planning on selling my Q2. Just got the Q3.. and I'm really debating if it's worth it since I haven't used my Q2 for long. It's a tough debate.
I'm buying the quest 2 gamestop has a black Friday deal where you get it new for 250 with a 50$ meta store gift card, I'll get the 3 at taxes plus I hear the quest 2 has way better battery
The one thing i hate about my quest 2 is how much it falls down on my face and that sweet spot disappears and its frustrating. With the quest 3 being slightly heavier is that still a problem with it?
Get a better strap with a battery pack so it can work as a counterweight for your 2. The official pro strap is $100 but Amazon has a million battery pack straps to choose from that are waaay cheaper.
Just looking at the 3, you'll still want a counter balance but the fact it's thinner will keep the weight far more in check.
Get a bigger head
@@shanekeene947 oh I brought the bobovr M2 and while it has helped, the headset still falls down my face unfortunately. I'm going to get the battery pack version to try and balance the weight and see if that helps.
@@dongo6988 😂😂😂
I want a Q3 but I have a Q2 and honestly the quest 2 is awsome still . it does everything i want to do in VR right now.
never been to much into passthough and never have i done mixed reality.
But i just upgraded my PC memory to 32 gigs of DDR4 and now my steam VR is running awsome.
playing HL Alyx for the first time and man o man is it awsome.
so sticking with the 2.
Hey i have had the gear vr for 7 years now and i am still using it. my oculus account still works and i am logged in but I can’t use the store but I don’t really need it as well because i just use it for video streaming but i wanted to ask if it is still working for the thing i need it to do should I upgrade to the quest headsets?😅
i used to have a vive and it was super comfortable, I would easily play hl alyx for hours with it, then I got a quest 2 and it was super uncomfortable, no matter how I adjust the straps it was just putting so much pressure on my forehead and around my eye. can any of you who have it tell me how much better is the quest 3 when it coms to comfort on playing for hours?
how much do u think the quest 3 will drop in price over the next year to christmas 2024
About the same as the quest 2 is right now or a little higher
Or you could wait 5 years and get a quest 3 for £40.
It’s not gonna drop for the next year, maybe a sale
Can anybody tell me what a 360 video looks like shot on the insta 360 x4 looks like on the quest 3 compared to quest 2 ? I have a quest 2 and looks like the x4 videos could be sharper but i wonder if that looks better on the quest 3.
Very good video. I love my quest 2, but you have me wanting the 3 now
looking at that i am sure they got influencer quest 3's with better cameras, my quest three doesnt look like this also not on the 2 dimmensional mirror image, by the way i am pretty sure that the quest 2's resolution dropped by 30 % since the release of the three, can someone confirm that?
Definitely not the case
hopefully @@jacobmaz8157
ok thanks @@7__.-.__
Can you play the same games as quest 2 if u get the quest 3?
When they make a quest that can track behind my head then I’ll upgrade from my 2
Great video!!!!!
Anyone else making a headset that you can adjust the lenses for spectacle wearer's with out needing to buy subscription lenses
i move my quest 2 one atom and its blurry.
Great review! thanks! i wanted to ask about movies , if im only use it for vr movies witch one should i get?
Quest 2
quest 3 because u can still be in ur room with the immersed reality
I'm a 38 year old single guy that lives alone and I'm on a tight budget. I used to have a Samsung Gear VR headset many years ago and I thought it was cool, but then I upgraded my phone and stopped using it. Since then, I've been a VR virgin. I mainly want a headset to use to watch movies on and link it with my new Bose QC headphones. I'm not a gamer or anything like that. If I was to use it for anything other than movies or RUclips, it might be to be able to see my computer desktop and control that, but I don't think that's essential. Anyways, which do you suggest I get? I just want something to support my new headphones to block everything out. Should I go for the Quest 2 or Quest 3?
Quest 3 or the meta quest pro the quest 3 is the sequel of the quest 2 which are both meant for gaming quest 3 has better performance and more user friendly than my meta quest pro but the meta quest pro is more for adults for the lack of gaming hardware on it its meant for business / mixed reality and more for everyday use instead of entertainment purposes so either quest 3 or meta quest pro
What about the hand tracking which is better
what a coincidence I bought one this week . Can't wait how different it is from my quest 1
I have a quest 1 also, how big is the difference really?
@@jairpenaloza9784if you're thinking of getting it do it its a huge game changer
Really big.
Sadly the 3 has no OLED so when the screen fades to black it does not really go dark like the 1. Other than that it is so much better. Everything is faster, a lot faster, resolution is way better, much more comfortable especially with the BOBOVR headstrap. I am really happy with the 3. @@jairpenaloza9784
@@jairpenaloza9784I’d like to know too! I’m in the same boat as well!
trhe same as upgrading from a iphone 2 to like a 13@@jairpenaloza9784
I had a Quest 2 for which I spent a lot of money on upgrading the headstrap situation, adding prescription lenses (wearing glasses with the Quest 2 is NOT enjoyable) and custom foam, and it still was not my cup of tea. I found it uncomfortable if worn more than a few minutes, and I ended up referring to it as a $300 headache machine. Even my 2 youngest kids got over it pretty quickly. I ended up giving it to my oldest son. At least he enjoys it. I think VR is not for everyone, and as much as I wanted to like it, I just couldn't. I would still like to try out the Quest 3 just to see the differences firsthand.
Can i still play oculus go if i get one cheep thanks
Great video with honest answers. Thinking on getting one of the two headsets 128GB but I think I will pay the little extra for the Quest 3.
The fact that you see removing the tracking ring "good" is confusing.
Ngl im kinda gonna miss the wring, hoping theres latex covers that add the wring
My first concern is the health of my eyes having screen displaying si close to my eyes... And how about people wearing glasses? Can they keep wearing them at the same time as the VR headset?
VR is healthier to use than a phone screen or monitor. The focal distance when looking through vr is about 6 feet though yeah eye strain is still an issue
Eye strain can still be an issue, but when you put virtual displays at a distance, you're not focusing your eyes as close up. Yes, there is an included glasses spacer with both headsets, so you can wear glasses while using them.
yeah i wear my glasses with a vr headset
I just got my quest 3 today after having my quest 2 for 3 years. It is a difference because the battery life of my Q2 has almost degraded to around 30-45 minutes of gameplay, from an advertised 2 hours. Yet the Q3 is around only 1 hour due to the immense battery hogging of the high-performance XR2 Gen 2, I could also notice the heat. I recommend the Q3 for new VR users due to the compatibility with coming games and older games.
What a terrible comment 😂
@thedude7057 it just screams ai 😂
Ain’t no WAY it only has a 1 hour battery life. That is just insane
lol fr look at his pfp@@thedude7057
And what u say about graphics ?
I’m thinking of buying a q3 but I’m not sure because of the battery life. Does anyone know if you can get like a long charger and play with it in?
1 hour or more, thats what everyone says. I have quest 2 and wont get quest 3 cuz my mom is very strict and wont buy me something again, so ill just wait for quest 4 and buy it instead of quest 3, if u have quest 2 its no big deal to buy quest 3, but if you really want it then buy it
Guys I am a little confused, can I use meta quest 2 or 3 to play vr steam games? Or just meta games
You can use it to play steam vr games as long as you either air link or use a link cable to your pc.
How long do you plan to keep it? 😂 something that does this from battery isn’t going to last long
Good review.
I am going to purchase vr quest. Kindly suggest the mixed reality is available in both quest 2 and quest 3....?? If mixed reality is available in quest 2 then I would prefer to buy quest 2 only.... Kindly confirm is it available???
quest 2 is not a mixed reality headset. is a vr headset. quest 2 only uses it's cameras to show you when you're close to bounduries and about to hit something in the real world, not to mix within reality. as it cannot mix with reality because of the fact that the cameras are very low quality, which totally nullifies the reality part.
I won my Quest 2 at a free work raffle. I don't see a clear reason to upgrade.
I'm considering buying either of these (neither my boyfriend or I have ever had or used a vr set). The quest 2 is currently £248, however the quest is about £480. I'm not sure I can justify that for the 3, but is it worth getting over the 2?
If you have the money yes if you want to save money and have something that can introduce you to vr for a good price the 2
Do you have a laptop or pc?
@Damarai_ yea I have an imac
@@zaylek6568i have had a quest 2 for years and personally i dont think the extra money for the 3 is worth it especially as an introduction, the quest 2 is still a marvel
I'm also looking to buy my first ever VR set because I'm really interested in virtual reality and all that. Never used one as well. I don't know which one to buy. The quest 2 is already very expensive for me but I just wanna know the 3 is so much better that it's worth me sacrificing all my money for it.
What if I'm new to VR but I wanna keep the headset for a long time?
if you can afford the quest 3 you have to go with it, quest 2 is old, it's an adventage you haven't bought a q2 as upgrading is less recommended.
Just for watching VR videos...is there any difference between them?
Not really, I have the quest 3 for 2 weeks now . I gave my quest 2 to my little sister. At first I was blown away by the quest 3 graphics but now they look the same with the quest 3 being slightly better. Another thing the battery on the quest 3 doesn’t last as long as the quest 2 you will need a battery bank 😐
@@boomboombaby9140how much money do you have in bank I'm not asking credit card
should i buy a quest 2 or wait for the Quest 3 Lite? ORR just get a Quest 3 but i’d have to wait till September since it’s pricey.
If this your first vr get the latest.
I have both and i dont know how they managed to make a new device with much worse battery life and worse tracking that the previous one
what? so i should go for the quest 2?
So I am about to buy A Quest 3 or 2, but I watched so many videos now I can't decide what to buy. ANY ADVICE ?
Quest 3, w a battery strap. It’s worth the extra 200-250 trust. You’ll probably have it for a while too so might as well invest.
@@milkjuice6648 a quest 3 would be nearly to my fee.
So not really into buy extra things. But sure i will keep it for long.
Plus price drop of quest 2 to $250 really makes it it tough decision buy, like getting a elite strap and battery pack would still be cheaper than quest 3, good luck on decision either way have fun
@@epicrez9383 Quest 2 price drop is insane ))
@@milkjuice6648isn't the Quest 3 alone an extra 250, even without an extra battery pack etc?
only getting this to watch VR fun time with flash light
From what i gather, the quest 2 is still great, and if you have one already its not a big deal to drop another 500$ to get the quest 3 unless if you are very serious about vr, but if youre looking to get a headset and dont already have a quest 2, the quest 3 is worth the extra price.
i dislike that they ditched the tracking ring.... man i was using that as a stand for my controllers when racing
Damn I wonder what vr is going to look like in 2034
It's gonna be a bed😂
I like the tracking ring
Can it play dead cabin home invasion?
How big is your front room to have a robot vacuum??!
I have the quest 3 and oculus quest 1 and I’m buying the two because my Vegas infinite won’t work on the quest one without a computer
why have an ad that is 1/4 of the video
Wait, why is this the only video that keeps playing when I close RUclips? That’s so weird
Wtf you're right. Us this actually a setting on the creator can set...?
@@eon5323 I have absolutely no idea, it’s the most baffling thing
For them 2 questions 1: I’m going to keep it up to 3 years and 2: I’m new to be and I like the quest 3 bc the 3 things in the front of the headset
Tbh speakers don't matter when im using my razer nari ultimate Headphones which I highly recommend you get if you want to be fully immersed with the haptics on them it makes beat Saber so much fun with bass heavy songs (kracken v3 hypersense and pro models are also amazing I just prefer the ultimates because they have really big ear cushions and swivel ear cups which makes it the perfect fit)
I really REALLY want one for my birthday!! I've been asking my parents for a vr headset for like 8 months now 😢😢😢
In short from what I have been reading through the comments: if you don't have a VR headset yet and this is your first get Quest 3. If you already have Quest 2, don't, it is not a significant upgrade
I am not interested of games or virtual worlds at all. I am curious about Mixed Reality. I am hoping if I could do programming using glasses, so that I can see the REAL keyboard, and 2-3 VIRTUAL computers screens/windows at the same time. Can this work well with MQ3? Also, it seems no one touch the issue of using glasses while wearing the set. If it is difficult to wear glasses under the device, then it can be a big nono...
I am upgrading because of the MR and the memory space. I was looking to get a new Q2 with more memory space, but I figured why not upgrade the device while I’m at it?
Never had a vr set but got this because of the MR and loving it
Memory isn't a issue in Quest 2, it's very hard to use all the 128GB even with games.
I'm buying the quset 2 because I'm a bit new to vr. And I think it's a good starter head set
When did people start calling augmented reality “mixed” reality
Should I upgrade?
This seems like the New Nintendo 3ds VS the 3DS XL. Sure the the newer one is better but the upgrade is not at all enough to justify upgrading. I think I'll keep my Quest 2 for now and then get a Quest 3 when not having one hinders my experience. I love my New Nintendo 3DS but it isn't THAT much better than my old one.
I never had a vr headset ( apart from google cardboard)
I was thinking of buying the quest 2 cause of the price difference
But that piano demo really looks cool
but is it extra 300 bux cool
I like the head set bigger
Thanks, I think I will order the 2 for my rough 10 year old and go from there if he enjoys it and plays with it often.
This technology is very bad for a kids developing brain. It will mess him up bad
In my opinion the game library just isnt big enough just yet to even justify the quest 3 so the quest 2 has all the good games you can play on the quest 3 so good choice on the quest 2.
Is it worth going for the q3 instead of q2?
yes definitely if u have money for it if u have budget go for the 2
Tell you the main advantage of the Quest 2 over the Quest 3 is the price! Quest 2 in the UK is £199 and the 3 is £469.....It's not worth the difference.
Cool review. You favor Zach Morris.
the quest 2 controller saved my finger so many times that makes me feel in danger with the quest 3 controller
I AM SO SAD😢😢. I thought my OCULUS engraved questbtwo was going to be rare worth a lot so i could be cool or something but now it is just the one before the 3, unless the business fails but i doubt that
The ipd scroller on the quest 3 is incredible, quest 2s was a terrible design
Hey man love your home
If you are connecting it to a pc either through cable or air it really does not make a difference. All oculus pale vs pc connection with it. Between the 2 and 3 there is not enough difference to bother paying out another bundle. AR is better and in colour sure but as far as graphics very little. Just get a 2 and the upgrade headstrap and save money.
I only play poker on mine. No need to upgrade just yet
great video
buying the quest 2 using ur code - had all the info i needed much appreciated (chrismas gift for kids)
I want a 3, but I have a 1 and a 2... I'll wait for the 4 I guess, the 2 seems fine to me.
Dont forget the resolution
