As a glass's wearer, the pro is a game changer for me. I have prescription lenses in my quest 2 but being able to just put the pro on and off without faffing with my glasses is so much easier. Definitely a luxury as the price is silly expensive, even with the recent price drop.
@@Shadow_banned_by_RUclips it's also a personal thing. Out of the 12 VR headsets I own this by far is the best (for me) I've every owned. I will see how the XR Elite compares in a couple weeks.
Actually the quest 2 doesn't use the full resolution specified because there's pixels that aren't used because the lenses shift around a single display. Quest pro has individual displays so they always use the full resolution for each eye.
I didn't have a VR headset until just before this last Christmas and got a Quest2 (Resident Evil pack) and loved it - but had some issues with tracking. When the Quest Pro controllers became available I got those and it was such a step up ..... but then a Quest Pro came available to me secondhand. And that was the best tech I think I've ever bought. I think I've used the Q2 maybe twice since having the Quest Pro - and even ended up buying a new desk with a bit more space so that I could do exactly like you, have it there 'always on' and I'll just grab it when I fancy a quick bit of standalone gameplay or just some more immersive youtube. Setting up my desk in VR and paired with the colour passthrough and logitech mx keys keyboard, well I don't think I'm very far away from wanting to work 'inside' the headset - just waiting on the Microsoft Teams (and maybe office) integration
I love my Quest Pro. I use it primarily for wired PCVR as I find the image quality so much better wired than using Virtual Desktop even in Godmode. My previous headsets include a Vive Pro 2 and a Reverb G2 and even having higher resolution per eye and native DisplayPort connectivity they both look like trash compared to a Quest Pro running at 5408 x 2736 with a 4090. I can't even stand to use any fresnel lens headsets now, the Quest 2 especially is unusable now. I don't understand the negativity the Quest Pro got from so many RUclipsrs, for me its the best PCVR experience I've ever had by far and represents the biggest upgrade between headsets I've ever had.
I think there is a fear of coming across as a Meta shill, especially since most VR RUclipsrs come from the PCVR world. I was hesitant to talk about how much I love mine for the same reason.
The negativity was obviously because of the crazy price and mediocre mixed reality abilities in addition to the largely similar resolution vs Quest2: it deserved the bad press when it was released. However now, with the price drop and activation of features like local dimming, it is a much more enticing prospect for PCVR.
If we could get the Wifi 6e and improved passthrough we were promised, Local dimming in every app and Eye tracked foveated rendering this would probably be the best overall headset out there. It's just frustrating to have all these features that are basically useless right now. I still really like it for it's controllers and image clarity.
@@justwatching2302 Thats good news. Wifi 6e and improved passthrough is suppose to be coming also. We probably won't see eye tracked fov rendering for a while as there are not enough headset with that feature out there.
@@simracingjunky9679 Starting to see things open up and start working is a good sign. Also now that they have canceled the Pro 2 for the time being this headset has quite a bright future as far as updates/support go. I’m fine with some things not being used right now I just didn’t want to be in a situation where I pay allot for a headset then next year version 2 has eye tracking or something at least the stuff is there in case.
@@hammadsheikh6032 If it's that simple and it's not a "per app" option why not put it as an option in the menu? I always though that it was up to the developer since we only have it in a few apps and it's not worth their time with so few headset with eye tracking out there.
Even just with Wifi6 of current Quest Pro, My Quest Pro connection is at 1920Mbit/s for both send and receive with my NetGear Wifi6 router where my Quest 2 is capped at 1200Mbit/s
I picked up my pro last month and I love it. I find it much more comfortable than my modded quest 2, no more headaches or eye strain, massive sweet spot and the display looks fantastic.
Ease of use and accessibility is everything. The pick and play aspect of the quest pro is the reason why I easily come back to it. I've never used an headset as much as the quest pro, just for this reason
Yes, I am the same way, I paid full price at the beginning (US$1500), but I have not regretted getting one and I cannot go back to my Quest 2 anymore. For the Pro controller, there has been some issue with playing sniper rifle in the VR game such as Onward. However after recent firmware updates for the pro controller, it has been working as good as Quest 2 controller as far as the steadiness. I believe the Quest Pro wifi 6e has not been fully enabled yet but the connection speed to my wifi 6 router is much faster than my Quest 2. My Quest Pro connection is at 1920Mbit/s for both send and receive solid all time with my NetGear Wifi6 router where my Quest 2 is capped at 1200Mbit/s. I set my Virtual Desktop data streaming bit rate at 150Mbit/s max and PC gaming looks so sharp and wonderful!!
LOL. I bought one just to test and then return to Best Buy, but got hooked. Far better than my Q2 and the P4. The visuals are IMO far better than the P4 and the resolution is not that different, due to the LCD design on the QP. What is very different in favor of the QP is the clarity, contrast and color. For $1,500 never would have bought it even to try. Now I don't want to return it.
I LOVE my Quest Pro. Absolutely amazing headset. I thought my psvr2 looked good until i hooked the pro up to my pc and Kayak Mirage looks at least two times cleaner / more detailed on the Quest Pro. Love it.
I have the PSVR2 at the moment and it's incredible, absolutely loving it and can't wait for RE4 VR Mode. But man am I hyped for Quest 3. Twice the power, half the size, pancake lenses, I mean I can't wait!
@@aronhawkings7238 It's a little harder to recommend a PS5 + PSVR2 because it's like £1000. If you have the money to spare, and really want a PC level VR experience, then I say go right ahead. I've been playing GT7 and RE8 and I haven't used my Quest 2 as my main since. I tried to use it once to get a comparison and immediately noticed the LCD panel, extremely lower graphics and longer loading times. The Quest 2 is amazing, but if you want a next level VR experience, but don't have a gaming PC, PS VR2 is an incredible choice. I mean the PSVR2 has some drawbacks that you might be affected by; slight mura effect caused by OLED panels, cable, 4 - 5 hour controller battery, very small tracking issues and ghosting in games that use re-projection. All these issues bare in mind are really not noticeable once you're immersed in game, but setting expectations are important as reviews of the headset didn't really mention any of this and a lot of people were disappointed when they got their headset. However again, these issues are very, very small, and I still adore my PSVR2 experience. Let's just say it's cheaper to buy a PS5 + PS VR2, than a Gaming PC and a headset that matches. No other VR headset has an HDR OLED panel, headset haptics and eye tracking for £550. At the end of the day it's up to you and this is just my opinion, but I've had an absolute blast with this headset so far and bet you'll love it if you buy one.
@@aronhawkings7238 for just Vr games and using it as a huge screen tv, YES. I quite good. Only real complaints people have is a low sweet spot so you need to re-adjust it if it slides around and a very minimal veil like effect it has, but you eventually starts seeing past it to the point you forget it’s there. It bug the hell outta me for exactly an hour the first time I used it but that’s also the total time it annoyed me and I’ve owned it since launch. Everything else about it is perfect!
Definitely thinking about buying the Quest Pro as I would definitely like face and eye tracking, but by the time it's in my budget to buy a Pro, the Quest 3 may be available at which point I'd obviously reconsider. EDIT: I've always heard Pico 4 isn't available in the US, but it seems you can get them for around $450 at various places online. Might jump for that instead because of how much cheaper it is.
This review and a couple other ones are the reason I picked up the Quest Pro. Most reviews come from tech tubers with limited time and knowledge about VR headsets. They read from paper specs and frown upon Facebook while praising a competitor device from a company far worse than that... TikTok. The other camp.of reviewers are sim players. These don't care about the fact that not having a cable may be important to some. So, let me tell you my point of view as a VRChat player. I would have never imagined to actually like having these partial light blockers. It's so easy to step in and out of VR. The passthrough - while not groundbreaking - is extremely accurate. I don't need to worry about knocking over my drink or get into the kitchen to get a refill. I really like how there's no gasket pressing against your face as it it the case with pretty much every other headset. And even though it's a halo-style headset it rests very securely on your head. It's comparable to high class bike helmets where the inner ring is hugging your head. I was literally headbanging with the Quest Pro and it wouldn't even budge. Eye and face tracking are already available in VRC thanks to its avid community. It will take me a long time to implement it to my avatar but I'm excited to use it, soon. 90Hz is plenty of refresh rate for most users, given you will need something to the likes of a 3090 Ti to push it on native resolution. Especially in VRChat where it's mostly limited by VRAM. Eye-tracked foveated rendering may improve on this in the future but it will take time to implement it and even then it will only be a 20% improvement, at most. Summing it up, the Quest Pro to me is better than the sum of its parts. It's got decent specs for what it is and I find joy picking it up over the Quest 2.
Yes Pro is the best,i have the Varjo Aero,Pimax 5k plus ,HP G2,i make simracing with a 4Dof Motion sim,with the Pro its the best experience because of the open design
Nice review! I tried my quest 2 after using the pro for 3 months and noticed a huge difference in comfort, visuals and overall quality. Definitely worth the pro price tag for me😎
Just got a Quest Pro, and I have to say it is the best headset I’ve ever had. It is just amazing how much VR have advanced since the first Oculus Rift. (I still have one!)
Recently bought one new for £600, and at that price, there's a lot to love. The open sides surprised me most - I thought light leak would be maddening, but the display is bright and you just tune out the surroundings. You end up appreciating the awareness of the room, obstacles and beverages around you. :)
Snagged one when it became 1000. It's on another level when you use it in vrchat with it's facial features. The only set back is you need to run another runtime to get face tracking to work with vrchat for now. Hopefully they add a native feature in the future.
the pancake lenses completely won me over, for the head strap theres a solution out there i found for 15 bucks that fixes the forehead issue (i have no more head pain)
Hi. I'm in a similar situation as you - got Quest Pro one month after release at about 2k eur and used it ever since as a main headset (had both Quest & Quest 2 before). I love it for the most part. Can't say I hadn't any issues with it - got the first weird UI hang and had to reboot literally 5 minutes after I booted it up for the first time. It's mostly nice though. I do hope they'll migrate to something other than Android at some point or fix the system software in some way - background service still can crash after long periods of inactivity, it often reboots on its on while charging on a dock - but still, there's a lot of good. Used it daily for some time, stopped using for about a month lately and getting back now. Was hella impressed with the whole "The Worlds Beyond" demo with portals in my living room. A bit disappointed it can't automap my room like iPhone can / pull the data from it via some middleware so that I don't have to do it manually. And disappointed again when I couldn't find much stuff to do with Quest specific features (there's hardly any apps where passthrough actually did something experimental & new, not just replaced often prettier 3D backgrounds) - I guess, we'll have to wait and see (or go and do). But yeah, charging dock is a big thing. And it's thinness & build quality too, ofc. Hadn't noticed much difference in screens tbo - had even tried to compare it side by side with Quest 2. I'm also waiting for some 3rd party mods to appear to make it a bit comfy and looking forward to doing something with PCVR. Have some hard times ironing out the performance for now tho, will get to it at some point. Oh, and VR demo scenes are awesome, even if they are not many of them. And AR videos are starting to appear, those promise to be fun, like holograms, finally.
Love my pro. Link is perfect for sim racing and DCS. I use official link cable and you don't even feel it. The latency is s lot lower than quest2. 40-high 50. Like you say, it works every time I put it on. Coming from reverb g2 WMR software, its a dream to use.
I bought it the second that the price dropped And I'll be honest I feel kind of silly for not buying it before This thing is amazing it reignited my love for vr These lenses Are just nuts
Absolutely agree. I find the Quest Pro a game changer for me, especially for PCVR. Going back to the Quest 2 or Pico Neo 3 link (even with the DP cable) is like going back to a Nokia 3310 after having a top of line Samsung phone.
Love my Quest Pro, so much better then the Quest 2. Lenses and picture clarity is so much better. I was surprised to find I do not need the full light blocker. The side blockers work fine and having a little open space at the bottom is nice. Kind of gives a more FOV feeling and allows air to circulate on your face. I sewed an elastic strap vertically across the top and it made the headset very comfortable. Far more then the Quest 2. I also like that it is Black and looks very nice compared to the ugly cheap looking white finish on the Quest 2.
What I did was place something low on the floor that does'nt move easily and keep my calves backed up to it. works great for keeping your place in the room
With the price drop, I’m tempted, but with the Quest 3 around the corner with definitely a better processor & potentially better pass through i’m pretty sure I’ll regret it.
Quest Pro replaced my old Rift Cv1, my quest 2 AND my PSVR2 in one HMD . It's just the best to actually USE imo. Love the lenses, comfort, clarity and controllers. Easy to put on and needs zero adustment.
I've watched so many of you videos, how was i not subscribed, might be bcz i watch on tv or something anyway keep it up, you're by now my favorite vr RUclipsr
Your thoughts are my sentiments exactly!!! It’s the smaller details. Quest pro may not have the best or high res panels by my goodness do they have the best lenses by far of any headset. Meta really put in a lot of money to research lens technology and invest in lens companies.
Noticeable video production quality growth! Really informative review video, and enjoyable to watch too. I'm still waiting for the most comprehensive AR video on RUclips about productivity with the Quest Pro. :)
Agreed, love my Pro…even sold my Aero and just use the Pro for wireless PCVR. You really need a decent GPU (3080 or better) to really see what the Pro hardware can do. The stand alone experience is a bit of a let down in comparison but the PCVR wows with the clarity. Also agree I have found I can be fully immersed in VR even with no light blockers at all…this is how I play 100% of the time now which was unexpected!
Yes without lightblockers its better because i can see my arms and legs in simracing and my brain mixed this with the game so the VR area is bigger,i think the design from the pro is better than the Quest 3
VIDEO IDEA: see if you can get a hold of one of the chromebooks that support Steam through developer mode and see if you can run steamVR or basic games like Beatsaber, would be pretty interesting.
Oh yeah. Ease of Use is super important. I don't want to be spending 20 minutes before and after use just to charge the thing or go through menus. Thanks for your videos. I'm starting to wonder if the headsets have any custom operating system or home brew stuff that could make them more appealing for me.
ive been testing with the Quest Pro aswell since they was kind enough to send me it freely but the tracking from the controllers is very bad and the headset itself is just ok and still needs work, oculus devs are hoping to fix the controller's in V51 and up.
I know the quest 3 is round the corner, but I just bought one for £570. at that price point, the controllers alone won me over (alongside other things like face tracking and eye tracking)
Quest Pro Is amazing to use. Indeed the Only gripe I have is that its Comfort is not great for prolonged sessions. However like yourself I have really enjoyed the Open front fo the pro. I don't use the light blockers and I have no plans to get the facial interface. I really like still being connected to the room I'm in from checking your phone to vaping to grabbing a drink. All easy to do with out taking the HMD off or even activating a passthrough. I will still be getting the Q3 but ill be really sad to go back to a skimask style HMD I think HMDS doing forward should give you the option like the pro of how "Enclosed" you want to be. Also the controllers are amazing. Yes they can have a "wake up" time but they just work flawlessly. All the issues with IR tracked controllers are gone like aiming down sights or reaching behind etc "Though some games like the walking dead that have over the shoulder actually like to activate from the front on the pro. I keep going for my flashlight and get the backpack for example." I do hope that Future headsets will have pro like controllers or that I can Move my Pro controllers with me with future HMDS do not want to go back to IR tracked controllers.
And OFC the clarity of the Lenses are amazing. Any HMD going forward that still uses Fresnal lenses will automatically become trash. Id much rather pay £50 more to have Pancake lenses than Being stuck with fresnell for "cost cutting measures".
The rotated displays have a higher active pixel count than the quest 2. The oval images fit better in the sideways square shape increasing the viewable resolution. Plus since it uses 2 displays their is no image cutoff on the sides when using a higher ipd. I found the FOV is definitely noticeable the viewing area is more fuller. The light blocker works well and comfortable and easy clean. I dislike the fact there is no proper designated mounting point for perscription lenses. The ones I got kinda dig into the rubber around the outside of the lens area. Would of preferred a prescription lens system that has the lenses directly onto of the HMD lenes in the gap from the lens to the top of the rubber portion of the lens area. Think I'm going to try and use some velcro straps and try to rig up a top headstrap to reduce the weight on my forehead. That was definitely an oversight on their part. The back head pad definitely needed some rotation adjustment cause only a small portion touches my head, but i havn't had any discomfort so far. I keep getting visual glitches on the right eye where it flickers sometimes while in OS menu and 3D area and also in OS menu and 3D area the right eye is notably dark at the top portion, on the lord of the rings home area for some reason. Might just be my headset. Looks and works fine in-game though. The camera controllers are awesome, I can can now draw / quickdraw pistols, mags and other out of sight objects way easier. Throwing objects is way easier and accurate. And the rubber grip handstrap accessory for my quest 2 fits well and tight. Also did you notice the Oculus Easter egg??? Take a look at the charging brick. Not sure sure if it was intended or not. Meta really should give store credit to people who bought the headset and have it setup on their account before the price change. Then they will feel more justified in buying the quest pro. Prefably for the amount of the price difference. And as far as face tracking goes, there are more things than just social apps that can use these features. Example opening of the mouth activates an action. Like bobbing for apples, or turn on a headlamp flashlight. Or to help the system identify when your speaking for voice recognition at lower voice volumes. Moving the lips left and right to act like a D-pad. Opening the mouth on walking dead to make the character shout to gain the zombies attention. Smile or stick out tongue to take a screenshot or start a video recording. Winking one eye to direct an npc. Another thing that can be done with the headset is use it as a color 3D room scanner. I'm sure the augmentation will pick up even though it looks like I'm watching a 1960 color film. Though maybe increasing the saturation would make it look more fuller. Anything beyond arms reach doesn't gray out. I'm sure things within arms reach can be colorized eventually. I'm surprised they used my suggestion on the color stiching. 😁
I have a question for you... do you find VD on the Pro ok? Because from when I start using this I do prefer way more airlink... it looks like VD is not very optimized for it (I am on the Discord QP channel and other ppl have problem with VD). about the top strap I can absolutely recommend the StudioForm strap, it push the level of comfort in a completely new level without loosing the way to wear it that is kind of important for me as well
I have tested both over and over, using my quest pro and VD always disappoints me. I know most people swear that VD is better than Airlink, but I'm starting to think that was a Quest 2 opinion, maybe. Because I get better image quality and performance with Airlink than I do using VD. No matter what settings I use.
@@armlacoste same here, with Q2 my preference was on VD, better visual and performance... with Pro the complete opposite, I even experience micro stuttering with very low setting (regardless of the codec) when over airlink everything is smooth
I have the full blocker its a pain they didn't think of sizing it for the dock. But that said I sometimes like that open bottom easy to glance out to the real world to check a phone take a drink etc.
That dock is a gamechanger for me. The biggest shock was how pancake optics & those dual screens changed the way my eyes use VR. Instantly noticable when going back to Quest 2 after 4 months of daily Quest Pro use. I cannot use Quest 2 anymore due to how my eyes saccade & do smooth pursuit movements now.
I don't think I've seen this but looks like tapping Pro Controllers together, like dbl tapping side of headset, switches between hand and controller tracking.
Eye tracking on the QP is still missing some essential features. After testing PSVR2 at a friend's place and experiencing eyetracked menus and eyetracked foveated rendering, those two are way bigger game changers than just tracking for Social VR apps. I know Boz and Carmack have given statements that eyetracked foveated rendering on stand-alone isn't worth the needed power and wouldn't achieve a net positive yet (uses more power up front that doesn't result in better quality over all), but when you connect it to a PC and when they get the latency down enough you could experience better quality like you would have upgraded to a new GPU, making lower end ones way more viable and opening up the PCVR market for more people. Meta should just revive and push their existing Rift platform so they can stop whining about not profiting on PCVR Quest users (like Carmack revealed during the last Connect - already missing this guy's no bullshit answers and openness to the public).
My Pico 4 has worked flawlessly for almost three months now. No fuss at all to start using it. To play PCVR I just turn on the PC, turn on the Pico and start the VD-app in the Pico and I'm ready to start any game. I have a BoboVR battery so charging and battery swap is super easy. The AMVR facial interface made them super comfortable and I can have them on for hours if I want to without issue. I recommend this. Game changer! I don't store my headset on my desk but hang them on the wall on a curved wall mount with the front up and lenses covered by the mount to protect the lenses from dust and accidental contact with anything.
One thing to consider too is that the quest 3 will not have mini LED displays with local dimming, Standard LCD displays are no longer acceptable to me in a new VR headset.
the discounted price is an easier pill to swallow and if it had been at this price at launch, I probably would have got one. I may get one now at some point in the future but not now. My next one I'm buying is the HTC Vive XR Elite. I have mixed fillings about the paper specs of that thing but I want to get my heads on one and confirm my thoughts one way or another.
@@rangerkayla8824 I wasnt referring to the chip used. The pico 4 uses the same chip but gets better performance cause better cooling. I get all that. I was referring to advertised specs collectively as a hole. Some interest me and some are meh but I want to actually do some testing of it myself to see if there's more to the story.
Just picked mine up today. Definitely need some work on the comfort aspect of it, but it's display is such a big stepup from my quest 2. I've got a couple things I'm trying to get a better fit, then should hopefully be off to the races with it!
I love mine! I can take it out as a stand alone when out on the road. I love the inside out tracking on the controllers. I can run Steam VR with amazing resolution compared to my "Vintage" HTC Vive.
most of the upsides are a you thing. the battery ones, at least. i never had issues with battery with my quest 2. i just leave the charger plugged all the time in a socket and charge literally everything on it, including my phone, my nintendo switch and my steam deck. when i stop playing VR, i just unplug whatever is plugged (if anything) and put the quest to charge inside my desk drawer (honestly not comfortable with a device with so many cameras and microphones being out in the open in my room all the time
I did buy one after the price drop and I must say that I'm very happy with it. For Me the biggest part of it was the Eye tracking the face, tracking the better cameras and the ability to work in VR all day. The quest three might meet my use case but it appears from the images I've seen of the quest three so far that it's going to be front heavy like the quest two was and that is something that is a no go for me.
I personally can't understand how standalone VR headset can be "Plug'n'play" - I need to turn it on, wait while it's turning on, navigate throught the menu, connect to the PC and only now I reached the step which is first for non-standalone devices (choose app to launch). And then after 0-3 hours of playing I HAVE to take a long break just because battery has discharged even if I play **wired** (I usually play wired, because image quality is nearly as good as non-standalone headsets (if I tweak the "Encode resolution Width" and "Encode Bitrate" before in Oculus Debug Tool) ). That's so much discomboft, I would buy just non-standalone Q2 for the same price just for it to don't discharge and non-compressed videostream. These many steps before entering PCVR makes me unconsciously use VR less often as I used when I had CV1. Thanks Meta Q2's controllers has swappable batteries, so if they're dead, I just swap them and continue to use VR
I imagine there wont be any stand alone headsets with eyetracking and lip tracking for a while, which is the biggest pull for me for vrchat, quest 3 will probably be more powerfull, but i dont want power, i want features. I doubt the quest 3 will get better controllers, nor the tracking to keep the price consumer friendly, i mean the pro controllers take half the price of the quest 2 with controllers. So i would say the biggest pull for the pro is those controllers and tracking, and anyone who wants power instead should wait for the quest 3
Isn't the light bleed a deal breaker? The full cover still let some light in and the mere fact that you have to remove it to charge in the dock is really a hassle.
Good points, if i was more on PCVR I'd consider the Pro! I will be waiting on the Quest 3, hoping they give us some body tracking. I can attest about the PSVR2, the graphics and clarity is there, also the quality of performance!
perhaps if meta gave all existing quest users a quest pro or a significant discount then we would all use a pro but otherwise I dont see why its worth the money to upgrade or make it a first time buy above the q2
Did you know the oculus 2 has a charging dock for BOTH the controllers and headset???? I would not buy bc I don’t have “room” for said object….. but I do remember to plug it in after I have played and or if I have to set it down during game play and just on.
No I'm not thinking of buying one. I was thinking of buying the controllers, but that was before I fixed the issue I had with my left controller of my Quest2. Nowadays I use the Quest2 mostly for Holofit and Beatsaber. I run on my elliptical nearly every day and all I need to do is pick up my headset and pick the program by handtracking. I don't use my controllers very much anymore, unless I want to play beatsaber. My Pico4 is the headset that I use mainly for gaming and I think it is a fantastic device. I bought a new facemask that let's me play without feeling it too much (from AMVR) and since I have new straps on the controllers they sit good in my hands. I'm waiting for the Quest 3 to come onto the market. That might be a game-changer. But other than that, this was a nice refreshing video about the Quest Pro!
It slightly pains me in this video to see you playing The Forest VR, and have your bhaptics vest hanging there in the background. I made a bhaptics mod for that game, if you haven't, be sure to try it, it's actually really fun with bhaptics. 😊

It has became my main headset as well. Can't beat the edge to edge clarity. The whole lens is practically the sweet spot.
Virtually any pancake lenses will give you extremely large sweet spot. But the issue is the FOV and light loss
@@Shadow_banned_by_RUclips it's also a personal thing. Out of the 12 VR headsets I own this by far is the best (for me) I've every owned. I will see how the XR Elite compares in a couple weeks.

Setting up my desk in VR and paired with the colour passthrough and logitech mx keys keyboard, well I don't think I'm very far away from wanting to work 'inside' the headset - just waiting on the Microsoft Teams (and maybe office) integration
Crazy timing. I've been thinking about the pro a lot lately
I love my Quest Pro. I use it primarily for wired PCVR as I find the image quality so much better wired than using Virtual Desktop even in Godmode. My previous headsets include a Vive Pro 2 and a Reverb G2 and even having higher resolution per eye and native DisplayPort connectivity they both look like trash compared to a Quest Pro running at 5408 x 2736 with a 4090.
I can't even stand to use any fresnel lens headsets now, the Quest 2 especially is unusable now.
I don't understand the negativity the Quest Pro got from so many RUclipsrs, for me its the best PCVR experience I've ever had by far and represents the biggest upgrade between headsets I've ever had.
I think there is a fear of coming across as a Meta shill, especially since most VR RUclipsrs come from the PCVR world. I was hesitant to talk about how much I love mine for the same reason.
The negativity was obviously because of the crazy price and mediocre mixed reality abilities in addition to the largely similar resolution vs Quest2: it deserved the bad press when it was released. However now, with the price drop and activation of features like local dimming, it is a much more enticing prospect for PCVR.
Does the facial tracking work over USB on PCVR?
@@BWCstroker in VRChat both face and eye tracking work in PCVR. I'm not sure what other games support it.
If we could get the Wifi 6e and improved passthrough we were promised, Local dimming in every app and Eye tracked foveated rendering this would probably be the best overall headset out there. It's just frustrating to have all these features that are basically useless right now. I still really like it for it's controllers and image clarity.
@@justwatching2302 Thats good news. Wifi 6e and improved passthrough is suppose to be coming also. We probably won't see eye tracked fov rendering for a while as there are not enough headset with that feature out there.
meta only needs to add foveated rendering to their rendering pipeline. Why does it matter that other headsets don’t have eye tracking.
@@simracingjunky9679 Starting to see things open up and start working is a good sign. Also now that they have canceled the Pro 2 for the time being this headset has quite a bright future as far as updates/support go. I’m fine with some things not being used right now I just didn’t want to be in a situation where I pay allot for a headset then next year version 2 has eye tracking or something at least the stuff is there in case.
@@hammadsheikh6032 If it's that simple and it's not a "per app" option why not put it as an option in the menu? I always though that it was up to the developer since we only have it in a few apps and it's not worth their time with so few headset with eye tracking out there.
Even just with Wifi6 of current Quest Pro, My Quest Pro connection is at 1920Mbit/s for both send and receive with my NetGear Wifi6 router where my Quest 2 is capped at 1200Mbit/s
I picked up my pro last month and I love it. I find it much more comfortable than my modded quest 2, no more headaches or eye strain, massive sweet spot and the display looks fantastic.
this is good to know.... I'm selling my Q2 mostly due to eye strain. Going to try and wait for a Q3 to see what the IPD max is. I need a 71 😭
But grey blacks.......yeeeeeesh
Ease of use and accessibility is everything. The pick and play aspect of the quest pro is the reason why I easily come back to it. I've never used an headset as much as the quest pro, just for this reason
100%
I hope the Quest 3 incorporates the space between your eyes and lenses. That is my favorite part of the Quest Pro
Yes, I am the same way, I paid full price at the beginning (US$1500), but I have not regretted getting one and I cannot go back to my Quest 2 anymore. For the Pro controller, there has been some issue with playing sniper rifle in the VR game such as Onward. However after recent firmware updates for the pro controller, it has been working as good as Quest 2 controller as far as the steadiness.
I believe the Quest Pro wifi 6e has not been fully enabled yet but the connection speed to my wifi 6 router is much faster than my Quest 2. My Quest Pro connection is at 1920Mbit/s for both send and receive solid all time with my NetGear Wifi6 router where my Quest 2 is capped at 1200Mbit/s. I set my Virtual Desktop data streaming bit rate at 150Mbit/s max and PC gaming looks so sharp and wonderful!!
It's also funny to brush your teeths and watch youtube with the quest 2 at the same time. I really like the passthrough home function too.
LOL. I bought one just to test and then return to Best Buy, but got hooked. Far better than my Q2 and the P4. The visuals are IMO far better than the P4 and the resolution is not that different, due to the LCD design on the QP. What is very different in favor of the QP is the clarity, contrast and color. For $1,500 never would have bought it even to try. Now I don't want to return it.
I LOVE my Quest Pro. Absolutely amazing headset. I thought my psvr2 looked good until i hooked the pro up to my pc and Kayak Mirage looks at least two times cleaner / more detailed on the Quest Pro. Love it.
You still using it?
Quest Pro is my main VR headset as well. It does everything the Quest 2 does but has better graphic quality.
I have the PSVR2 at the moment and it's incredible, absolutely loving it and can't wait for RE4 VR Mode. But man am I hyped for Quest 3. Twice the power, half the size, pancake lenses, I mean I can't wait!
Is it worth getting the PS5? I don't have a gaming PC and want the best possible VR experience. I have the Xbox X and quest 2.
@@aronhawkings7238 It's a little harder to recommend a PS5 + PSVR2 because it's like £1000.
If you have the money to spare, and really want a PC level VR experience, then I say go right ahead.
I've been playing GT7 and RE8 and I haven't used my Quest 2 as my main since. I tried to use it once to get a comparison and immediately noticed the LCD panel, extremely lower graphics and longer loading times. The Quest 2 is amazing, but if you want a next level VR experience, but don't have a gaming PC, PS VR2 is an incredible choice.
I mean the PSVR2 has some drawbacks that you might be affected by; slight mura effect caused by OLED panels, cable, 4 - 5 hour controller battery, very small tracking issues and ghosting in games that use re-projection. All these issues bare in mind are really not noticeable once you're immersed in game, but setting expectations are important as reviews of the headset didn't really mention any of this and a lot of people were disappointed when they got their headset. However again, these issues are very, very small, and I still adore my PSVR2 experience.
Let's just say it's cheaper to buy a PS5 + PS VR2, than a Gaming PC and a headset that matches. No other VR headset has an HDR OLED panel, headset haptics and eye tracking for £550.
At the end of the day it's up to you and this is just my opinion, but I've had an absolute blast with this headset so far and bet you'll love it if you buy one.
@@aronhawkings7238 for just Vr games and using it as a huge screen tv, YES. I quite good. Only real complaints people have is a low sweet spot so you need to re-adjust it if it slides around and a very minimal veil like effect it has, but you eventually starts seeing past it to the point you forget it’s there. It bug the hell outta me for exactly an hour the first time I used it but that’s also the total time it annoyed me and I’ve owned it since launch. Everything else about it is perfect!
Definitely thinking about buying the Quest Pro as I would definitely like face and eye tracking, but by the time it's in my budget to buy a Pro, the Quest 3 may be available at which point I'd obviously reconsider.
EDIT: I've always heard Pico 4 isn't available in the US, but it seems you can get them for around $450 at various places online. Might jump for that instead because of how much cheaper it is.
Worst still, if the software doesn't take advantage of the eye tracking you are paying for hardware that does nothing.
I'm more or less on the same position as you
The Pro is just too much...and maybe there's a pro2 with the new chip coming
@@metaphysicalfuck I believe Meta stated we wouldn't see a Pro 2 for at least a few years
@@arsteel2388 fok (metaphysical)
Well there may be other premium standalone devices around. Feels like a loss for them
@@metaphysicalfuck Meta said that they won`t make any new Pro headsets anytime soon.
This review and a couple other ones are the reason I picked up the Quest Pro.
Most reviews come from tech tubers with limited time and knowledge about VR headsets. They read from paper specs and frown upon Facebook while praising a competitor device from a company far worse than that... TikTok. The other camp.of reviewers are sim players. These don't care about the fact that not having a cable may be important to some. So, let me tell you my point of view as a VRChat player.
I would have never imagined to actually like having these partial light blockers. It's so easy to step in and out of VR. The passthrough - while not groundbreaking - is extremely accurate. I don't need to worry about knocking over my drink or get into the kitchen to get a refill.
I really like how there's no gasket pressing against your face as it it the case with pretty much every other headset. And even though it's a halo-style headset it rests very securely on your head. It's comparable to high class bike helmets where the inner ring is hugging your head. I was literally headbanging with the Quest Pro and it wouldn't even budge.
Eye and face tracking are already available in VRC thanks to its avid community. It will take me a long time to implement it to my avatar but I'm excited to use it, soon.
90Hz is plenty of refresh rate for most users, given you will need something to the likes of a 3090 Ti to push it on native resolution. Especially in VRChat where it's mostly limited by VRAM. Eye-tracked foveated rendering may improve on this in the future but it will take time to implement it and even then it will only be a 20% improvement, at most.
Summing it up, the Quest Pro to me is better than the sum of its parts. It's got decent specs for what it is and I find joy picking it up over the Quest 2.
Yes Pro is the best,i have the Varjo Aero,Pimax 5k plus ,HP G2,i make simracing with a 4Dof Motion sim,with the Pro its the best experience because of the open design
Nice review! I tried my quest 2 after using the pro for 3 months and noticed a huge difference in comfort, visuals and overall quality. Definitely worth the pro price tag for me😎
Just got a Quest Pro, and I have to say it is the best headset I’ve ever had. It is just amazing how much VR have advanced since the first Oculus Rift. (I still have one!)
Recently bought one new for £600, and at that price, there's a lot to love.
The open sides surprised me most - I thought light leak would be maddening, but the display is bright and you just tune out the surroundings. You end up appreciating the awareness of the room, obstacles and beverages around you. :)
Snagged one when it became 1000. It's on another level when you use it in vrchat with it's facial features. The only set back is you need to run another runtime to get face tracking to work with vrchat for now. Hopefully they add a native feature in the future.
is there a good tutorial vid for that
@@Nixkip I used this video m.ruclips.net/video/uZh7cY170rY/видео.html
the pancake lenses completely won me over, for the head strap theres a solution out there i found for 15 bucks that fixes the forehead issue (i have no more head pain)
Hi. I'm in a similar situation as you - got Quest Pro one month after release at about 2k eur and used it ever since as a main headset (had both Quest & Quest 2 before). I love it for the most part. Can't say I hadn't any issues with it - got the first weird UI hang and had to reboot literally 5 minutes after I booted it up for the first time. It's mostly nice though. I do hope they'll migrate to something other than Android at some point or fix the system software in some way - background service still can crash after long periods of inactivity, it often reboots on its on while charging on a dock - but still, there's a lot of good.
Used it daily for some time, stopped using for about a month lately and getting back now. Was hella impressed with the whole "The Worlds Beyond" demo with portals in my living room. A bit disappointed it can't automap my room like iPhone can / pull the data from it via some middleware so that I don't have to do it manually. And disappointed again when I couldn't find much stuff to do with Quest specific features (there's hardly any apps where passthrough actually did something experimental & new, not just replaced often prettier 3D backgrounds) - I guess, we'll have to wait and see (or go and do). But yeah, charging dock is a big thing. And it's thinness & build quality too, ofc. Hadn't noticed much difference in screens tbo - had even tried to compare it side by side with Quest 2.
I'm also waiting for some 3rd party mods to appear to make it a bit comfy and looking forward to doing something with PCVR. Have some hard times ironing out the performance for now tho, will get to it at some point. Oh, and VR demo scenes are awesome, even if they are not many of them. And AR videos are starting to appear, those promise to be fun, like holograms, finally.
Love my pro.
Link is perfect for sim racing and DCS.
I use official link cable and you don't even feel it.
The latency is s lot lower than quest2. 40-high 50.
Like you say, it works every time I put it on.
Coming from reverb g2 WMR software, its a dream to use.
I bought it the second that the price dropped And I'll be honest I feel kind of silly for not buying it before This thing is amazing it reignited my love for vr These lenses Are just nuts
Ya, as a day one adopter it was pretty rough, people (who didn't have one) wanted to hate it, and treated anyone who loved it like a Meta shill.
Absolutely agree. I find the Quest Pro a game changer for me, especially for PCVR. Going back to the Quest 2 or Pico Neo 3 link (even with the DP cable) is like going back to a Nokia 3310 after having a top of line Samsung phone.
Yooo! Great video dude! Keep it up!
Love my Quest Pro, so much better then the Quest 2. Lenses and picture clarity is so much better. I was surprised to find I do not need the full light blocker. The side blockers work fine and having a little open space at the bottom is nice. Kind of gives a more FOV feeling and allows air to circulate on your face. I sewed an elastic strap vertically across the top and it made the headset very comfortable. Far more then the Quest 2. I also like that it is Black and looks very nice compared to the ugly cheap looking white finish on the Quest 2.
At least you didnt totally rag on it.. like other reviewers, your review was actually fair. I bought 1 about 6 hours ago. 😅
What I did was place something low on the floor that does'nt move easily and keep my calves backed up to it. works great for keeping your place in the room
With the price drop, I’m tempted, but with the Quest 3 around the corner with definitely a better processor & potentially better pass through i’m pretty sure I’ll regret it.
Sadly I returned my quest pro... but it was so convenient and quick to use it was amazing...
Thanks for this, I am exactly in the same boat, mostly using it for PCVR. I don't feel like I could ever go back to the Quest 2.
It’s my main device too. I smile every time I pick it up. However I quickly get pissed off when I realize I still haven’t gotten version 50…..
Great job! I love my Pro as well❤
Quest Pro replaced my old Rift Cv1, my quest 2 AND my PSVR2 in one HMD . It's just the best to actually USE imo. Love the lenses, comfort, clarity and controllers. Easy to put on and needs zero adustment.
I've watched so many of you videos, how was i not subscribed, might be bcz i watch on tv or something anyway keep it up, you're by now my favorite vr RUclipsr
Your thoughts are my sentiments exactly!!! It’s the smaller details. Quest pro may not have the best or high res panels by my goodness do they have the best lenses by far of any headset. Meta really put in a lot of money to research lens technology and invest in lens companies.
This guy is making the quest pro look like an actual good headset.🥶😩
Yeah, because it actually is.
Noticeable video production quality growth! Really informative review video, and enjoyable to watch too. I'm still waiting for the most comprehensive AR video on RUclips about productivity with the Quest Pro. :)
Agreed, love my Pro…even sold my Aero and just use the Pro for wireless PCVR. You really need a decent GPU (3080 or better) to really see what the Pro hardware can do. The stand alone experience is a bit of a let down in comparison but the PCVR wows with the clarity. Also agree I have found I can be fully immersed in VR even with no light blockers at all…this is how I play 100% of the time now which was unexpected!
Yes without lightblockers its better because i can see my arms and legs in simracing and my brain mixed this with the game so the VR area is bigger,i think the design from the pro is better than the Quest 3
I was surprised as well, you really don’t need the light blockers in most cases
Objective reviews are always the best 🙂 great job Mysticle!
Got my Quest Pro for $899 no sales tax where I live.. Its become my main PCVR hmd. The Panels yeah are not as high res but the lenses are amazing.
VIDEO IDEA: see if you can get a hold of one of the chromebooks that support Steam through developer mode and see if you can run steamVR or basic games like Beatsaber, would be pretty interesting.
Oh yeah. Ease of Use is super important. I don't want to be spending 20 minutes before and after use just to charge the thing or go through menus.
Thanks for your videos. I'm starting to wonder if the headsets have any custom operating system or home brew stuff that could make them more appealing for me.
ive been testing with the Quest Pro aswell since they was kind enough to send me it freely but the tracking from the controllers is very bad and the headset itself is just ok and still needs work, oculus devs are hoping to fix the controller's in V51 and up.
The quest 3 is what i am ready for.
I know the quest 3 is round the corner, but I just bought one for £570. at that price point, the controllers alone won me over (alongside other things like face tracking and eye tracking)
Quest Pro Is amazing to use. Indeed the Only gripe I have is that its Comfort is not great for prolonged sessions. However like yourself I have really enjoyed the Open front fo the pro. I don't use the light blockers and I have no plans to get the facial interface. I really like still being connected to the room I'm in from checking your phone to vaping to grabbing a drink. All easy to do with out taking the HMD off or even activating a passthrough. I will still be getting the Q3 but ill be really sad to go back to a skimask style HMD I think HMDS doing forward should give you the option like the pro of how "Enclosed" you want to be. Also the controllers are amazing. Yes they can have a "wake up" time but they just work flawlessly. All the issues with IR tracked controllers are gone like aiming down sights or reaching behind etc "Though some games like the walking dead that have over the shoulder actually like to activate from the front on the pro. I keep going for my flashlight and get the backpack for example." I do hope that Future headsets will have pro like controllers or that I can Move my Pro controllers with me with future HMDS do not want to go back to IR tracked controllers.
And OFC the clarity of the Lenses are amazing. Any HMD going forward that still uses Fresnal lenses will automatically become trash. Id much rather pay £50 more to have Pancake lenses than Being stuck with fresnell for "cost cutting measures".
I have global cluster for better comfort for my pro and this is a real game changer,now i can it wear hours and hours,you must try these!
Same for me, Q2, G2 out to pasture. Like quickly moving between AR VR PC and standalone.
Hey Meta we want that 6e.
The rotated displays have a higher active pixel count than the quest 2. The oval images fit better in the sideways square shape increasing the viewable resolution. Plus since it uses 2 displays their is no image cutoff on the sides when using a higher ipd. I found the FOV is definitely noticeable the viewing area is more fuller. The light blocker works well and comfortable and easy clean. I dislike the fact there is no proper designated mounting point for perscription lenses. The ones I got kinda dig into the rubber around the outside of the lens area. Would of preferred a prescription lens system that has the lenses directly onto of the HMD lenes in the gap from the lens to the top of the rubber portion of the lens area. Think I'm going to try and use some velcro straps and try to rig up a top headstrap to reduce the weight on my forehead. That was definitely an oversight on their part. The back head pad definitely needed some rotation adjustment cause only a small portion touches my head, but i havn't had any discomfort so far. I keep getting visual glitches on the right eye where it flickers sometimes while in OS menu and 3D area and also in OS menu and 3D area the right eye is notably dark at the top portion, on the lord of the rings home area for some reason. Might just be my headset. Looks and works fine in-game though. The camera controllers are awesome, I can can now draw / quickdraw pistols, mags and other out of sight objects way easier. Throwing objects is way easier and accurate. And the rubber grip handstrap accessory for my quest 2 fits well and tight. Also did you notice the Oculus Easter egg??? Take a look at the charging brick. Not sure sure if it was intended or not. Meta really should give store credit to people who bought the headset and have it setup on their account before the price change. Then they will feel more justified in buying the quest pro. Prefably for the amount of the price difference. And as far as face tracking goes, there are more things than just social apps that can use these features. Example opening of the mouth activates an action. Like bobbing for apples, or turn on a headlamp flashlight. Or to help the system identify when your speaking for voice recognition at lower voice volumes. Moving the lips left and right to act like a D-pad. Opening the mouth on walking dead to make the character shout to gain the zombies attention. Smile or stick out tongue to take a screenshot or start a video recording. Winking one eye to direct an npc. Another thing that can be done with the headset is use it as a color 3D room scanner. I'm sure the augmentation will pick up even though it looks like I'm watching a 1960 color film. Though maybe increasing the saturation would make it look more fuller. Anything beyond arms reach doesn't gray out. I'm sure things within arms reach can be colorized eventually. I'm surprised they used my suggestion on the color stiching. 😁
I have a question for you... do you find VD on the Pro ok? Because from when I start using this I do prefer way more airlink... it looks like VD is not very optimized for it (I am on the Discord QP channel and other ppl have problem with VD).
about the top strap I can absolutely recommend the StudioForm strap, it push the level of comfort in a completely new level without loosing the way to wear it that is kind of important for me as well
I have tested both over and over, using my quest pro and VD always disappoints me. I know most people swear that VD is better than Airlink, but I'm starting to think that was a Quest 2 opinion, maybe. Because I get better image quality and performance with Airlink than I do using VD. No matter what settings I use.
@@armlacoste same here, with Q2 my preference was on VD, better visual and performance... with Pro the complete opposite, I even experience micro stuttering with very low setting (regardless of the codec) when over airlink everything is smooth
Thank you for saying something about glasses, I have been looking for someone to say something about them.
I have the full blocker its a pain they didn't think of sizing it for the dock. But that said I sometimes like that open bottom easy to glance out to the real world to check a phone take a drink etc.
Ayo what chair do you use in the vid? It looks pretty nice, also I enjoyed that you were playing the forest in the vid
That dock is a gamechanger for me. The biggest shock was how pancake optics & those dual screens changed the way my eyes use VR. Instantly noticable when going back to Quest 2 after 4 months of daily Quest Pro use. I cannot use Quest 2 anymore due to how my eyes saccade & do smooth pursuit movements now.
I don't think I've seen this but looks like tapping Pro Controllers together, like dbl tapping side of headset, switches between hand and controller tracking.
Eye tracking on the QP is still missing some essential features.
After testing PSVR2 at a friend's place and experiencing eyetracked menus and eyetracked foveated rendering, those two are way bigger game changers than just tracking for Social VR apps.
I know Boz and Carmack have given statements that eyetracked foveated rendering on stand-alone isn't worth the needed power and wouldn't achieve a net positive yet (uses more power up front that doesn't result in better quality over all), but when you connect it to a PC and when they get the latency down enough you could experience better quality like you would have upgraded to a new GPU, making lower end ones way more viable and opening up the PCVR market for more people.
Meta should just revive and push their existing Rift platform so they can stop whining about not profiting on PCVR Quest users (like Carmack revealed during the last Connect - already missing this guy's no bullshit answers and openness to the public).
My Pico 4 has worked flawlessly for almost three months now. No fuss at all to start using it. To play PCVR I just turn on the PC, turn on the Pico and start the VD-app in the Pico and I'm ready to start any game. I have a BoboVR battery so charging and battery swap is super easy.
The AMVR facial interface made them super comfortable and I can have them on for hours if I want to without issue. I recommend this. Game changer!
I don't store my headset on my desk but hang them on the wall on a curved wall mount with the front up and lenses covered by the mount to protect the lenses from dust and accidental contact with anything.
One thing to consider too is that the quest 3 will not have mini LED displays with local dimming, Standard LCD displays are no longer acceptable to me in a new VR headset.
mystile thanks for the minecraft vr turtorial :)
You've progressed so much since I last saw you!
I think that a review of headset without focusing on the specs so much should be seen more on youtube... great video btw :)
I do wish my head set had Color Pass through. I have found actually liking the hand tracking on Quest 2 a bit more.
It blows the pico 4 and quest 2 out of the water. Best headset I have tried.
the discounted price is an easier pill to swallow and if it had been at this price at launch, I probably would have got one. I may get one now at some point in the future but not now. My next one I'm buying is the HTC Vive XR Elite. I have mixed fillings about the paper specs of that thing but I want to get my heads on one and confirm my thoughts one way or another.
@@rangerkayla8824 I wasnt referring to the chip used. The pico 4 uses the same chip but gets better performance cause better cooling. I get all that. I was referring to advertised specs collectively as a hole. Some interest me and some are meh but I want to actually do some testing of it myself to see if there's more to the story.
This is also my main VR headset - much better than PSVR2 - quality of lenses is superior!
5:20 when u rubbed the glass it caused me physical and mental pain
Just picked mine up today. Definitely need some work on the comfort aspect of it, but it's display is such a big stepup from my quest 2. I've got a couple things I'm trying to get a better fit, then should hopefully be off to the races with it!
The amount of update meta releases is crazy.Why I've been a meta user..Support and improvements is key 🔑
I wore sunglasses with mine just to try it out, forgot I had them on it felt so well.
I love mine! I can take it out as a stand alone when out on the road. I love the inside out tracking on the controllers. I can run Steam VR with amazing resolution compared to my "Vintage" HTC Vive.
most of the upsides are a you thing. the battery ones, at least. i never had issues with battery with my quest 2. i just leave the charger plugged all the time in a socket and charge literally everything on it, including my phone, my nintendo switch and my steam deck. when i stop playing VR, i just unplug whatever is plugged (if anything) and put the quest to charge inside my desk drawer (honestly not comfortable with a device with so many cameras and microphones being out in the open in my room all the time
Want it so bad because it looks good and I heard it works and feels good 😢
I did buy one after the price drop and I must say that I'm very happy with it. For Me the biggest part of it was the Eye tracking the face, tracking the better cameras and the ability to work in VR all day. The quest three might meet my use case but it appears from the images I've seen of the quest three so far that it's going to be front heavy like the quest two was and that is something that is a no go for me.
Would be cool if you compared games on both pro and q2. Especially pop one.
Im waiting right now for the quest 3. Probably gonna gift it to myself on christmas haha.
What are your pc stats . You ran forest vr nicely
Great review.
I personally can't understand how standalone VR headset can be "Plug'n'play" - I need to turn it on, wait while it's turning on, navigate throught the menu, connect to the PC and only now I reached the step which is first for non-standalone devices (choose app to launch). And then after 0-3 hours of playing I HAVE to take a long break just because battery has discharged even if I play **wired** (I usually play wired, because image quality is nearly as good as non-standalone headsets (if I tweak the "Encode resolution Width" and "Encode Bitrate" before in Oculus Debug Tool) ). That's so much discomboft, I would buy just non-standalone Q2 for the same price just for it to don't discharge and non-compressed videostream.
These many steps before entering PCVR makes me unconsciously use VR less often as I used when I had CV1. Thanks Meta Q2's controllers has swappable batteries, so if they're dead, I just swap them and continue to use VR
Great rewiew. Thank You for that! (:
The quest pro controllers let you shoot the guy running up behind you without even looking at them. Or do the sword stab behind you.
I imagine there wont be any stand alone headsets with eyetracking and lip tracking for a while, which is the biggest pull for me for vrchat, quest 3 will probably be more powerfull, but i dont want power, i want features.
I doubt the quest 3 will get better controllers, nor the tracking to keep the price consumer friendly, i mean the pro controllers take half the price of the quest 2 with controllers.
So i would say the biggest pull for the pro is those controllers and tracking, and anyone who wants power instead should wait for the quest 3
Isn't the light bleed a deal breaker? The full cover still let some light in and the mere fact that you have to remove it to charge in the dock is really a hassle.
I'd love one, but I'm waiting until the quest 3 comes out, then we will see how much on balance whether or not to get the quest3 or the pro
Good points, if i was more on PCVR I'd consider the Pro! I will be waiting on the Quest 3, hoping they give us some body tracking. I can attest about the PSVR2, the graphics and clarity is there, also the quality of performance!
Excellent review!
Any plans to review the Vive XR elite? Can't wait for mine to arrive, the form factor, diopter, and no ties to Facebook sounds amazing.
perhaps if meta gave all existing quest users a quest pro or a significant discount then we would all use a pro but otherwise I dont see why its worth the money to upgrade or make it a first time buy above the q2
Managed to grab one for less than a Quest 3 + Dock would've been and I think I made the right choice.
You mentioned about VRChat support, they are only supporting eye tracking not face tracking right?
We can find the specs from other places thank you for sharing your experience
hopefully one day you can review the pico 4 pro
Did you know the oculus 2 has a charging dock for BOTH the controllers and headset???? I would not buy bc I don’t have “room” for said object….. but I do remember to plug it in after I have played and or if I have to set it down during game play and just on.
I need to know, the controller battery life... how do you all get around the battery life of the controllers?
Hey do you know of the Exit Suit yet? It's a VR immersion exoskeleton
No I'm not thinking of buying one. I was thinking of buying the controllers, but that was before I fixed the issue I had with my left controller of my Quest2. Nowadays I use the Quest2 mostly for Holofit and Beatsaber. I run on my elliptical nearly every day and all I need to do is pick up my headset and pick the program by handtracking. I don't use my controllers very much anymore, unless I want to play beatsaber.
My Pico4 is the headset that I use mainly for gaming and I think it is a fantastic device. I bought a new facemask that let's me play without feeling it too much (from AMVR) and since I have new straps on the controllers they sit good in my hands.
I'm waiting for the Quest 3 to come onto the market. That might be a game-changer.
But other than that, this was a nice refreshing video about the Quest Pro!
It slightly pains me in this video to see you playing The Forest VR, and have your bhaptics vest hanging there in the background. I made a bhaptics mod for that game, if you haven't, be sure to try it, it's actually really fun with bhaptics. 😊
Just became my main VR headset as well
