This was on the money! I have been flirting with the idea of buying a 2nd hand HP Reverb G2, for use with PC VR, as my Quest 3 (using both cable and wireless) is just short of what I am looking for in terms of clarity. However, you managed to stop me heading down that particular dead end, so thanks for that! I'll persevere with tweaking the Quest 3, as it's very usable but the compression can be fairly noticeable at times. All in all, a very comprehensive review and comparison. Many thanks!
Really apprecaite the comment. I've really enjoyed using my Reverb G2 for the last few years, but it's starting to lose to the competition in terms of hardware, and the end of WMR is the killer blow. The clarity of the Reverbn G2 is still slightly better in the very center of the sweet spot, but the clarity drops off really badly. I think Quest 3 is a good choice for now, but I'll be watching new releases very closely over the next 12 months, as there's still enormous room for improvement.
This was quite helpful! I have a quest 3 and i was super excited to try some sim racing in VR. the experience was incredible aside from one thing. when racing at high speed and trying to look far down a long stretch of track, i find the resolution just isnt very good and it gives me a headache. Which of these headsets would you recommend for sim racing?
I’m just trying to find a video of a normal dude reviewing these VR headsets. All I get is robot acting guys, not moving their heads or talking like a normal person
It´s a decent fine headset but unfortunately now outdated with his specs. The best thing from this headset are the base stations. With those devices you will have the best Tracking system that exists so far. The controllers are also something special when it comes about creativity. I´m also using the base stations with the index controllers on my Varjo Aero headset. :)
Its just incredibly puzzling to me how corpos are pushing eco friendliness but then theyre just going to turn a bunch of awesome vr headsets into expensive paperweights. What a shame, the hp reverb looks like a great pcvr headset.
I hate my HP Reverb. For whatever reason it jumps around, just a little but enough to make it just no fun at all for me. I suspect it is due to how it tracks things not being able to keep up. Although it may just be something wrong with my headset or setup. In any case, I have almost not used mine. I also have to say, there was plenty of other things that just made it no fun. Possibly windows mixed reality being part of that. I just constantly felt like I hit issues and it made me miss my Oculus Rift bad. The tracking I had there was so, so, so much better. The difference in image quality though. I can not deny that things did look lovely in it. Right now its just sitting around in my living room though and I have very little motivation to try it again. I just feel stumped knowing there will be the same nonsense again if I put it back on.
I´m actually surprised that you haven´t mentioned the PS VR 2 that has eye tracking support and an OLED panel. It will be soon ready for PCVR because it wasn´t very comercially successful for Sony on their PS5 console. But the price is very decent for the featues that the headset actually has. I also missed the Varjo Aero that was designed as a consumer VR headset. It has similar amazing image quality like the Pimax Crystal. It´´s also lighter, has eye-tracking support and it´s very comfortable to wear for a session with many hours. The downside was the retail price of 2.0000 dollar. But it has been dropped now to a range of 1.000 Dollar. Thank you for the video! I really apreciated it. :)
Problem is(mind you I'm a hardcore sony fan)I have watched sony release so many great products and they put them out there to die. They just don't market equipment and devices in the states after release. The ps move on ps3, 1:1 motion was great, left to die. They had books that used the camera and immersed kids into the book on screen...again left to die. I preordered the release 3g vita. It's an amazing little system with the back trackpad and touchscreen now they have discontinued hard copy games. They dropped the ball with this one due to the high dollar proprietary memory. I've just seen sony do this time and time again since ps1. Even the playstation monitor that could be used vertically and their flagship phones that were 2+ generations ahead of apple and samsung. The sony phones were recording 4k when competitors were still recording 1080-2k.
I am surprised you did not mention the upcoming Quest 3S amongst the "most exciting new choices to come out", which supposedly has the electronics of the Quest3, in the body and lenses of the Quest2 and looks to be the best choice by far for anybody wishing to "try out VR". The Quest2 is then no longer a viable alternative and the Quest3 a more expensive choice with better lenses.
the HP G2 is going to be an ornament in 2 years but a meta will reach the end of it's battery life in about the same time depending on how often you use and recharge it... No batteries don't last for ever... any batteries
I am not interested in anything from Meta. If I want to watch something naughty in vr. I rather not worry if its being recorded for some AI to analyse or any of the other nonsense those guys may consider. I got the HP Reverb and it was big sad. I mean going from the Oculus Rift, naturally it was amazing in terms of visuals. However for whatever reason, mine makes the head position jump a little at times, and its really deal breaking. I just hate it. There is also all sorts of other frustrating things that constantly made me sad. I would have loved to get one of those Valve Index headsets. However I can not simply buy them. I want a good vr experience again. However I am really not sure how to go about getting that.

I just started the video, and i just have to say that i LOVE your accent. I have high hopes for this video
Its hard to find actual good reviews on VR, Thanks this was awesome!

I swapped from g2 to q3 while waiting for a pimax crystal light/somnium vr1 and it's a good upgrade IMO. I would NOT recommend going from q3 to g2

😂
lol that’s most of the time how normal people act when alone filming themselves
Not just me then
😂😂😂😂
Hi Andrew. Thank you for helping me decide my next headset. It will be the Quest 3. Now, my doubt is if I get the 128GB or the 512GB version.
are you using with a pc or solo
Both.
Guess I'll stick with my HP Reverb G2 for now. Gutted there won't be a G3.
How is it compared to q3 for pcvr?
thanks for this video really helpful
No psvr2?
What about the Valve Index from Steam?
It´s a decent fine headset but unfortunately now outdated with his specs. The best thing from this headset are the base stations. With those devices you will have the best Tracking system that exists so far. The controllers are also something special when it comes about creativity.

Nice channel, I only subscribed because of the accent. Good luck with future content.
Love the accent 😂❤❤
He's got another channel where he speaks English.
The best headset for 2024 is Primax Light... come on Andrew let's get up to speed........
15:56 We are? I think you are speaking out of your Arsh.
Every headset as a PCVR setup is fine as its essentially just a monitor.
Dont over think it folks get what you can afford.
not just that but the jumps between generations are just incremental, not big enough of a leap to justify an upgrade
One of the best, not included is PSVR2

PLEASE SUGGEST ME, "4K, 144Hz" VR HEADSET OR AR GLASSES FOR THE REPALCEMENT OF MY PC MONITOR.
Anyone here with good things to say about the quest 2?
The adjectives in this video were... Desperate
Is that a shrek accent
Whats with all the accents from youtubers. I wish I had an accent filter. So annoying.
What the American thing to say. English originated from the UK which means it is spoken by four different nations Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English.
I hope this helps, get a passport buddy...
Are you actually saying this out loud? This isn't stuff you say. Did no one teach you about your conscience?
Unreal ..
To be fair he's probably ignorant about a lot in life due to his poor choices. @@Mishina375
