Good point! It does look very similar to that headset actually. Wow, I forgot all about that one, but remember seeing one on clearance in John Lewis a few years ago.
@@ImmersedRobot Yeah, all the early wmr headsets had that flip up motion. Hopefully the hinge doesn't wear out like they did on those, after a while you had to use an elastic band to keep the visor close enough to your eyes.
@@concept226 sometimes i like going back to my lenovo explorer over my quest because its just so light in comparison, i hate the heavy battery in the quest 2
@@Thats_Cool_Jack Yeah it was a pretty good headset for the price. I just didn't like having to go through the wmr portal and I had to recharge the batteries in the controllers every couple of days. I wouldn't mind something like the big screen headset, almost like a pair of swim goggles, but they are just so expensive. I will just stick with my Q2 for another year or so and then see what's on offer. Do you notice the difference in visual quality when you swap?
Lol the controller batteries drain so fast. It has a smaller fov and resolution than the quest but that makes it great to run on my low end laptop when I'm not around my main PC. People hate on the wmr portal but the oculus software is so demanding in comparison. Can't even launch it on my laptop
Probably a wise choice. I'm looking at Wifi 6e routers myself at the moment to take advantage of the Quest 3 when it arrives. It's a bit of a minefield for budget options though.
@@shinobusensui9395 Hopefully there will be more announcements of Quest games with the pre-order announcement (at least we can hope). Also I believe Quest 3 has been more or less confirmed to have Wifi 6e with improvements to speed and bandwidth over Wifi 6 (which is already present on Quest 2). I highly doubt Quest 3 will have a displayport connection however (hope I'm wrong).
I’m not really a Beat Saber player so wouldn’t like to say with any degree of confidence. They felt responsive enough in what I played, but what you’re talking about is an entirely different level I suspect.
just like swinging up and down as fast as you can for atleast like 10 seconds and see if it loses tacking in any way would be a fine test, edit: Also twist and turns with the controllers forgot to mention @@ImmersedRobot
i havent done any research on the PSVR2s compatibility with PC, but if it works on PC, that would be much better than this, considering its the same price
If the official PSVR2 PC compatibility is released in the way we all hope (direct connection, eye tracking with DFR enabled etc), then yes, there is little doubt it will be a much better buy than the DPVR E4.
It’s not WMR. And $550 is only considered ‘budget’ in relative terms. Personally, I’d consider $10 budget… just maybe not for a PC VR headset in the current landscape.
@@Ro1111-p3i I agree. But as a dedicated PC VR headset in 2023 - and the way things are going - this is aiming at the 'budget' market. It's too expensive for what it's offering, but in the landscape of current dedicated PC VR headsets, $550. is considered 'budget'.
@@ImmersedRobot this headset can't do wireless gaming (in 2023!!!), it's has old for 2023 fresnel lenses, fov is about the same as Q2, no HW IPD adjustment and so on... for 550$? Realy? It's compleatly trash. In 2023 the DP1.4 is not worth to be tied to PC with wire. The quality of wireless communication is already almost as close as possible to the quality of wired communication.
@@IEagleoneII have Quest 2. A great device that is too cheap of what it offered but garbage if you're into best performance for pcvr gaming. I plan to have both Quest 2 and pcvr to experience best of both world
@@ImmersedRobot Specifically it's the black that isn't black and muddy dark colors that I am simply no longer willing to settle for. LCD is crappy 90s tech that needs to finally just go away.
@@SimplexPL Well, whenever it started, it's time for it to end. Same goes for LCD TVs. As far as I'm concerned LCD, with its hazy gray polluted "black" and washed out dark colors, has outlived its usefulness. Trying to "fix" it with lots of little backlight zones only makes the spec sheets look better.

I'm waiting for Valve Deckard
Thanks for the review. It might have sold well if it was released 3 years ago.
Agree.
I got one and took it out of the box and put it back in and returned it. Build quality told me all i needed. 150$ sure, not a penny more
Looks like an updated version of my old 'lenovo explorer'.

I think I'll just get the Quest 3 with it's 30% more pixels and WiFi 6e.
Probably a wise choice. I'm looking at Wifi 6e routers myself at the moment to take advantage of the Quest 3 when it arrives. It's a bit of a minefield for budget options though.
Yes but Quest is not good for pcvr... Quest optimization for pc is crap...
I’m waiting for the Quest 3
Makes sense. I’m looking forward to that myself.
The quest 3 lineup is meh, but if they have wifi 6 and a built in display port then I may get one

@@ImmersedRobot I'm hoping wifi 6e will can make a difference because the quest 2 wireless + amd combo is nowhere good as wires not even 70% to me
This review is too long.
I've been wanting to see if the headset can handle fast movements for beatsaber, like really fast movements for competitive play

Specs are terrible for the price. Absolutely abysmal.
Old scool WMR headset for 550-is it budget price?Are you joking?🤣
