What are your thoughts on Quest 3? Worthy upgrade or overhyped?
Please can you link the bobo M3 strap
What are your thoughts on Quest 3? Worthy upgrade or overhyped?
CRINGE.
The gap between standalone, console and PC is closing. ???
Yeah, 10/10/23 was a day that will live in infamy.
NVidia, AMD, Intel all just said lets just STOP developing any new tech. Sad day for gaming :(
@@WilliamDavies-jk8yg likewise
Can I have a link to the headstrap
I just got it and have no clue what these reviewers are talking about regarding FOV on the quest 3, i still have a quest 2 and immeaditly noticed the difference in the lens size. Quest 3 is noticibly bigger, and when setting the facial interface closest to my face, i looked harder to tell when comparing the valve index, not the quest 2. Compared to quest 2, the fov is a noticeable bump and looks much less like looking through binoculars.
The thing with VR headsets, is that bone structure and skull structure do affect the perceptual experience of a VR headset; so does the individuals perceptual system itself. These variables can make VR headset experiences highly subjective.
Went back and forth between Quest 2 and 3 today and it was a huge difference in FOV for me.
As someone who where’s glasses the fov is worse with the 3 compared to the 2 but it’s cause it gives you more room and it’s not lens to lens anymore.
I think with the added cover as well as the bobo vr strap, he is a good deal further away from the lenses than he needs to be. If close to your face it's absolutely an improvement.
I saw some youtuber testing the q3 with 100º of fov and other being able to go up to 110😮 (horizontal). It really depends by you skull/face shape.
I had an oculus rift cv1 and now just got the quest 3. I can’t express how amazing the quest 3 feels in comparaison. So pumped about my purchase.
I still have the Rift 1 too, waiting for to delivery . Have a couple of puzzle games that im developing on the Rift atm to port over
You waited that long for an upgrade??? Respect, man. That difference must feel surreal.
@@budbutterson9577 it is not that, but i am more pc player than vr user, i only use my rift sometime, so my priority going to my computer, maybe switch and after i will invest in vr
vr is not bad, but it is just i really hate use it in summer and also after one hour it become to be hard to use it
@@vkobevk VR isn't for everyone, and I can respect that. I can guarantee that the quest 3 is better than the rift 1 in every single way, though.
@@budbutterson9577 i dont hate vr, but damn i hate use it in summer
also after 1 hour it become exhausted to use it
Such a well made and comprehensive review. Just got mine today and can’t wait to try it out!!
is it good? Oh and can you connect it to a pc?
@@vrfrenzy8451 For the price, Quest 2 is a better buy for sure.
I've not used it myself but yes you can use it with a PC either over wifi or with a chord@@vrfrenzy8451
This is how we Bingham baby, I watch every video of urs!! And know that Branden is a tech guy lol 🤣🤣
@@vrfrenzy8451it’s very good and has the opportunity to connect to pc, runs amazing by itself too
I had a dead pixel on my Quest 3 too. It was located in the right panel. DIRECTLY centered in the sweet spot. Returned the unit immediately.
@nathie whats your view on the difference between Quest 3 and Rift CV1? would it be worth the purchase, i only PC Game with my Oculus CV1.. your thoughts?
The mixed reality is what really sells me. So amazing to me and I probably would not buy it if it was just another VR headset. Hope Meta keeps expanding on it and adding more MR games and experiences. Thanks for the great review.
Well most experiences seem like tech demos and not full on games. You got time to wait.
Just keep in mind it's very early so it won't be perfect and fast movements will cause a lot of warping. Also you will need the right lighting conditions for it to not be grainy. It does seem very cool though.
@Killswitch1411 espire 2 has a passthrough mode. I know what you mean though.
You and me both!
You like the super grainy 240p image spliced together?
Great review! I got mine in the mail yesterday and can't wait to play with it more - the pancake lenses are amazing! Not sure how so many people were expecting better passthrough in this price range - decent low-light cameras are the holy grail and usually run over $1000 for the body alone for a decent sensor size 😅
Update us
Sadly the audio was a downgrade from Quest 2. The Q3 sounds more tinny. More treble & less bass 😑
I understand there is some better ventilation , did you have any fogging on the lenses? Thanks
My issue with quest is it doesnt have enough AAA games... completely understand people can hook it up to a computer but not everyone has a powerful enough computer - the quest arguably is an entry level VR headset but most of the games seem to be incomplete, experiences, or poor quality - theres only a handful of decent games. But the same can be said for PSVR. Sadly it doesnt have the commitment to bring better games which is why Meta keep pushing alternative experiences.
Personally i love 3D movies and would love if they had a 3D movie store on the quest.
Bigscreen vr has a store of 3d movies and there app runs them well. Also people often host 3d movies on the social side of the app.
Does that wobbly effect happen for the user when doing the pass through when placing objects in front of you? Or is that just something we see from recordings?
My question would be on the memory I really would like to use it for the golf app but am wondering if it will ha e enough memory at 128g for that and maybe some random games. So basically as a new user should I go big with the memory or stay in the 128g safe zone?
How will I be able to get the quest 3 bobovr because I got both m1 and m2 head straps for quest 2
ordered myself one yesterday, it comes in about 2 days as of writing this, very excited.
I git my quest 3 today and i am really enjoying the MR experience. I am hoping to get the bobvr m3 whenever it is available hopefully soon the stock strap is better but still uncomfortable. Great review
Great video. Much info. Thanks!
My tv has delay when using bluetooth headphones, but I fixed it by using an aptX bluetooth transmitter, then an aptX bluetooth receiver to plug the headphones into. Absolutely no lag. If the headphones already support aptX, then you just need the transmitter. The brand I bought was HomeSpot. Both transmitter and receiver need power though, so plug into a battery bank. My Anker 10000 has both usb-c for the headset, and a usb-a if needed for anything else.
Thanks for the great review. Mine arrives tomorrow. I sold my Quest 2 a few months ago so I'm looking forward to playing my favorite games like Golf + and Eleven Table Tennis. I'm aware that it will take time for interested developers to upgrade some games and develop new games that will take advantage of the better resolution but I think it's worth it to be patient.
Hi mate, thanks for your review. You don't experience any noticeable SDE? I got mine yesterday and as soon as I turned it on and looked at the Meta logo I could see SDE, tiny squares like a mesh inside the blue logo, just wondering if it's only mine that for some reason is worse. Never noticed SDE in my Quest 2 for example, so I don't think I'm sensitive to that.
Looks like ur eye ipd isn't correct i never really saw it if i dont want
Would you be able to make a video on some of the best MR/Pass-through content to try out on Quest 3?
I played on my Quest 3 for several hours yesterday and set it up for both standalone and PC gaming. I have the Bobovr m2 Pro headset for my Quest 2 and had seen on Reddit that a conversion kit was coming out so that I could use it on my Quest 3 but still can’t find it. It sounded like you had one. Do you have a link? So far I’m really enjoying the mixed reality.
Where did you get you’re head strap for the quest 3 i really need one lol
I want to know, remember how you could change the resolution on the quest 2 using sidequest. (if you had a computer we’ve all done this at least once) how long would the battery last if you put the quest 2 res on 3?
Can you join a quest 3 user in the multiplayer menu rooms on a quest 2 or is it a quest 3 feature only?
Thanks for the video. Where did you get the halo strap for the Quest 3? My Quest 3 will be delivered in 2 days. 😁
it has yet to come out 🥲
amazing review ! answered all my questions --and that record collection is siiiiiick - loved seeing daft punks discovery !
Rock on!
The best, review so far, I really love the editing and de tone of the video, c: and really useful, :D
I dont think the price is slowing it down honestly. I went to best buy today and they were sold out. There are 5 in decent vicinity to me. There was only one store close by with any left. I was at the one store bought online for pickup in store at the other store and had the employee there call to get them to put the one i ordered back then so they didn't sell out before my order processed and they could grab it. The other store had 9 left, but they were kind enough to grab it anyway and by the time i got over there they had sold out also
In Passthrough mode, if you invite your friends to your quest home, will they see VR surrounding or Passthrough surrounding?
My Quest 3 is very responsive compared to my Q2. It is not perfect by any means though and I'd say probably 5-10 years before we get really good mixed reality devices and software. This is still the dawn of a new era as digital and physical slowly merge 😊
meh give it 3 years
You've got no faith in Valve's Deckard?
Was the OLED panel not better?
@@karkir-joharkarntkristkark9507 deckard is the new steam console. Many people thought it was a VR headset but alas the index is still the best on the market for PCVR
@@karkir-joharkarntkristkark9507 It will probably take 5-10 years for deckard to launch.
Is the bobo headset compatible with the quest 3 or do you need a conversion kit?
How did you get your hands on a BoboVR conversion kit for Quest 3?! I need one so badly!
Getting mine today. PC gamer taking first step in VR - after finding Index and other PC VR headsets too expensive and quest 2 lacking in quality needed. Plus the first color step in MR sold it to me as well. Quest 3 seems, to me at least, the headset I was looking for in terms of price and quality . Looking forward to getting it in a few hours !
Great video I appreciate the complete honesty.
Lots of people are disappointed with the quality of passthrough including myself. Guess we got dupped when all the recording quality was way more clear than what you actually experience. Oh well I’m not to setback by it but some people “literally wanna cry.. 😅”
I bought the quest 2 and it was my first vr experience so of course it was amazing but sadly the novelty wore off rather quickly. Mainly due to tragic motion sickness. That stuff made me sick just thinking about wearing the headset. But I don’t think it helped that the headset was so top heavy and hot.
I can proudly say tho the quest 3 did not give me motion sickness nearly as bad as quest 2. The strap is ok but the headset itself is a huge improvement as far as comfort and I think that goes a long way in sickness experiences.
Overall it’s a nifty piece of tech and I’m a proud supporter of the continued development and evolution of the tech regardless of what company it’s coming from. Cheers
Nice to hear about the motion sickness. I've had a quest 1 and a quest 2 and always just end up getting bored and literally sick while playing most games, so I ended up selling them. Like you, even the thought of wearing one again makes me feel ill. I really don't think I'll ever enjoy full VR, but the MR really entices me to give it another try.
i been waiting for your video good video man
well done ! thanks for the information
Can u still play in the style of quest 2 (vr) and every other feature? Or does it not include any quest 2 features
Just got mine today and I honestly love it. I got a quest 2 last week with the Costco bundle deal to see if I was going to like it. I obviously did cause now I have the 3. A HUGE upside on the 3 vs the 2 is the much clearer picture. Text is easier to see and the blur I would notice on my 2 all of the time made me nauseas. No longer the case with the 3. That’s just me! That along with everything else that was improved is a huge plus.
Hello, i just want to tell you that i bought a quest 3 but i have issues with the audio it sounds very bad in all games i tryed reseting but it didnt work
Best review I have seen. I feel the same about the headstrap and everything looks better but still the same games. How is the best way to check for dead pixels
Great review thanks ❤
hi sir ,
i love watching movies, 3d sbs movies. can we enjoy 3d movies on quest 3? i have xreal air 2 but i couldnt enjoy full screen movies on it.
Thanks for this! Covers all the bases without any extraneous talking. My Quest 3 should arrive tomorrow. It will be an upgrade from my Oculus Rift S so, at first, I'll probably be doing more PCVR than standalone. But I'm looking forward to exploring the standalone abilities. I didn't get an upgraded head strap, figuring that third-party options will be available at launch or soon after that are better value. I did get the official PC Link cable but I'll see if it's even needed or if Air Link is good enough. Having it charge while playing would be nice, though.
What gb did you get and was it worth purchasing said gb
I have a question nathie how do you combine me with all vr headsets into one in real life?
Q3 with m3 bobovr strap vs big screen beyond vs q2?? How much comfort is it?
Ive waited for this!
how is the pc vr experience vs the pico 4?
just like all the others no word about the av1 codec !
Is that even compatible with the link ( no air link or VD but with the wired experienced in order to get the best clarity and less compression) ?
You also need a nvidia 4000 series or amd equivalent card to use av1
Do you not get the PC USB connection cable .This was very expensive with the Q2.
When will I be able to purchase the M3 pro?
Very good video, thank you. I am completely new to all of this. It seems like the headset has its own storage capacity up to 500 gigabytes(ish). It also seems that you can hook the VR headset to a computer. Please forgive me I'm going to use Netflix as both an analogy and an example. When I watch Netflix it comes in streaming and I don't need memory space for that, I just see the movie. Or, Netflix allows me to download a movie for when I'm on a plane. Is the virtual reality world essentially the same? Assuming I can also hook it up to a computer, do I actually need a bunch of onboard memory in the virtual reality device or can I just let the computer be that memory space? I don't know what I don't know.
Also did you try the air link?
Nicely balanced review Nathie, thanks for that and I pretty much agree on everything you said ;)
Good review.
Thanks for covering all areas
Thanks for watching!
Nice review. Thank you!
You are good making these videos !
Excellent review and review style
I got mine yesterday and it is AMAZING!
great review man
Loved your review. I already have quest 2. Hoping to switch to quest 3 when it's available in my country.
I really would like to have prescription lenses but unfortunately, it's not available here and I don't think it will be in near future. I already scratched my quest 2 lenses, hoping to avoid with quest 3. Can anyone share or guide me to the 3D design of the prescription lenses frame for 3D printing which later I can have fitted with lenses?
I onle have one question left.
Can i play steam Games on the MQ 3 ?
hello nathie how did you purchase the quest 3 with an eu plug am i missing something becuase im about to order one and im from eu
(dont want my quest 3 port to melt hahah)
Yes it comes with a eu plug when you buy it in Europe
@@nathie is there an option to buy it with an eu plug in america beacuse my friend is from america and im from eu he is buying it for me for a gift (unsupported country)
How about playing more than 1-1/2 hour between charge... can you use something to play continuously?
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for the review was considering but see it looks worth it.
Wow amazing video ! Definitely will upgrade
You having the bobovr M3 makes me so jealous, I can't wait to get the conversion kit for my M2
Just bought one because of you :) same for the Meta 2 a while ago
Where did you buy the head strap?
If you get a dead pixel on the headset can you send it back? Or do you just have to live with it?
U can send it back, atleast where i live
Can't find the bobovr M3 OR the M2 to M3 conversion kit. Are they out yet?
No they have yet to release
Just got mine today and it is better in every way. I would call that acceptable move forward and adequate in every way.
Can anyone tell me what app it is at 4:39 in which we can see our friends in our real living room?
One more thing to note, besides investing in a 3rd party head strap, I would also suggest investing in a third party facial interface. Not just the cushion, but the whole plastic insert the cushion goes on. I got an all in one kit made by AMVR on sale for $28. I think normal price is $35. Well worth it as the plastic interface piece has venting and flares out a bit more for a better seal and actually makes the FOV look better. The cushion that comes with it is miles better than the stock one.
I love the “automatic” play space creation. This is great news!
Got mine today, its a nice upgrade all round
Sadly the audio was a downgrade from Quest 2. The Quest 3 sounds more tinny. More treble & less bass 😑
Can you charge it while using it?
what is that secrect agent game shown on around 9:53 ?
Hey guys! What do we need storage for? What do I need to choose 512 over 128?
Where can one get the bobovr m3 pro for the quest 3?
How did you spawn those screens?
If im not upgrading my pc i could buy it or should i?
I got the quest 3 as my first ever be headset, and I really like it. Sure it was expensive, but I’m happy with its quality
does it have sidequest and are you able to install minecraft java with mods since it's a faster chipset
It does work with SideQuest. Not sure about Minecraft.
Was een grote stap van de Quest 1 naar de 3, heb hem vandaag binnen gekregen en zat eerst te kloten met het vervangen van de interface en de strap. De interface kwam moeilijk los waardoor ik bang was iets te beschadigen. Bij de elite-strap hadden ze de onderkant van die strap die over je hoofd loopt van siliconen moeten maken, nu wordt het alsnog ranzig.
Ik vond de passthrough heel erg wennen, heb pianovision aangeschaft maar heb nog niet door hoe ik de piano ergens neer moet zetten. Het is lastiger dan de Quest 1 iig.
Nathie, how is the FOV of the Quest 3 compared to the old Quest 1 ? greetings from another Dutch man.
I bought it yesterday could be a real game changer!
Its a good upgrade from my Q2
How did u get the boboVR head strap because i cant find it anywhere
It is still in its testing phase
does the quest 2 elite strap work on the quest 3???? i have the quest 2 with the elite strap and i want to upgrade
No it doesn’t
Why did they put the headphone jack on the right side when almost all headphones have the cable coming out of the left side?
Can you use quest 2 head straps on quest 3?
What's the name of the dj lessons? Thanks
Where can I get BoboVR's strap adaptor can't find it anywhere
it has yet to come out 🥲
what about using the quest 3 for work ? 6-8 hours daily using virtual monitors.
What about the pro strap from meta?
Does the device overheat when using while charging? I had this experience with the Oculus Go!
I only have a Quest 1. I use a magnetic USB cable and extra battery pack on the back. Never had a problem with heat on Q1. I dont have a Go or Quest 3.
Honestly I think the hands behind or in front of things can be patched with the depth sensor
For everyone having issues with the strap cutting into your ears, what worked for me is raising the left and right speakers up a bit. Issue gone.
Also had dead pixel... but dont wanna wait another week to get it fixed. I can only see it in a black loading screen
What app is when they are seeing the city. The geographical data.
its on 10:49
Thanks!
Wooorlds
