Must-have Accessories For Your Meta Quest 2!
czcams.com/video/N4Z0m6Kzwes/video.html
I got mine for $55 basically unused at the pawn shop
It’s $199 now everywhere brand new.
Every where except Australia
Everywhere expert Australia sadly
New zealand is 400 dollars :(
250€ from meta to ship in Poland, 300€ in the store 😂
I have a quest 2 but didn’t have anyone to play with so I barely used it. Now I bought a quest 3 and I’m gonna send my quest 2 to a cousin in a foreign country outside of America, so we can play together.
Nice hope you both have fun ❤
The delay and ping is going to be crazy
@@ClockTime-gh9xf Not really, depends on what they are going to be doing but it probably wont matter much lmao
You get a new quest, a person to play with, +rep with cousin, and he gets a free quest 2. WIN WIN WIN WIN

I love my quest 2, it was a Christmas gift in 2020, and it's still going strong, no need for a 3 for me.
Bro I saw a listing of a quest 2 for 1,800 rupees which is like 3 dollars is it real I think it has botted comments
@@user-cr1bs4lm9j use your head
@@user-cr1bs4lm9j buy
Can you see outside the screen
Yes, the quest 2 is amazing, mine was almost 4 years old so I decided to buy a new headset, so I just bought a second quest 2
I keep seeing used Quest 2s om FB marketplace for 125-150 bucks and i cant help but feel like its such a good deal for an entry to VR
yup, just got one with the elite strap and case for 140 for my brother. Even just for PCVR it's a great deal
Absolutely! I scored my Q2 on FB marketplace for $100 AND it included an Elite Strap. The guy listed it as an Oculus Rift and genuinely thought it was, so my best guess is that it was probably stolen. Either way, worked out well for me 😮😅😂😊
lol@@FunkyHacker
i would go on fb marketplace but i have error
Just bought a Q2 from OfferUp 160$ like new with carrying case. The lady bought it and then had a baby soon after. Still has the Right and Left Stickers on the controllers 😁256GB
Great video and explanation sir!
Definitely one of my favorite purchases. Endless fun and it makes using social media so much more immersive. Plus you can browse the internet on it. So much more than just vr gaming. This is a companion piece.
I want one to replace my laptop for videos as I see vr simulates a theater. Thinknits worth it just for that $200 is the same as a chromebook
@lonelyheart002 you can browse the web too. I watch my Starz shows CZcams and you can watch rips of movies. It's so much more than just a gaming device
You're talking about porn right? 😅
@@paullsmith5548 Why buy a whole VR headset for that when it's available on the devices we are commenting from
@@paullsmith5548 get your mind out the gutter
I got one right before production ending and it is great it feels like reading on a curved crt
Got a quest 2 for 200 on amazon. Amazing value but im already considering a 3 for the clearer visuals. Lots of blurryness on the 2. Was going to get a 10000mah strap and a puppis airlink but I'm holding out now to get a quest 3.
If money is no object, spring for the three. $200 is a steal but the blurry visuals will leave you yearning for a 3.
I got mine used practically new like 6 months after it launched for $200 then got a $30 headstrap & $18 Knuckles style straps for the controllers & I'm still enjoying it in 2024 & I have PC VR, I still end up just using standalone more often then not because I just like the simplicity & comfort of the headset. My IPD was in the middle of one of the notches but luckily ive had it stuck where it needs to be for a Year now.
I got mine about 3 years ago, and it's still going strong.
Just bought one myself yesterday. Waiting for it to arrive but my friend recommended it and I tend to trust his judgement when it comes to tech stuff.
always a rational review 🙌
Def worth it. I got one few days ago and its so fun
I have a VP and have had my quest 2 for a whileeee, but im only keeping my quest 2 because they said GTA SA would be coming out for it also contractors is a fun game.
I got a Oculus Go for $40 at a Goodwill and was amazed at how far VR has come. My last VR experience was the Google VR that came with a Pixel phone. I was amazed at the smoothness. Enough that I decided to go for a Quest 2. Hopefully the upgrade will be just as noticeable from the GO. I also have a Aokzoe A1 Pro that might be a cool combination. Maybe in a couple years I can upgrade to the Quest 3 but right now the price tag is just too hefty. I was surprised that I could use the GO with no problems as my wandering eye problem really made VR on the Google VR setup very problematic.
I recently started using Virtual Desktop and I was amazed at the lack of latency issues and how it made me feel like I have a new headset. It's eye opening (pun intended) how 0ow resolution most games are in standalone. Running games a a higher than native resolution makes such a huge difference, it's like a Quest 2 plus. The real value in the Quest 2 in 2024 lies with it being used for PCVR. Games like RecRoom are so much better even with my old GTX 1070 that it makes me wonder if the pancake lenses are overhyped, and people are being misled by the higher resolution. Text simply is NOT blurry in any responsible interpretation of the word when supersampling via PCVR. I expect to be a bit disappointed with the Quest 3, since I already know that it won't even come close to my 1070 as far as GPU power goes.
After Watching this video, My birthday is soon so i might get myself one! Thanks for posting this great content!
got my quest 2 a few years ago I watched a video of some guy on gorilla tag safe to say after that video had ended I went to the store then I was setting it up 30min later and on the game in 1 hour lol best thing I ever did.
I am considering getting the quest 2 as my first VR console next month, since its affordable and it can par with my pc
Buying mine today!
If you wear glasses these are very uncomfortable and make the experience even heavier. Something to consider. Eventually we'll see lighter materials hopefully and slotting for glasses.
I'm old (69) and have never tried any VR stuff. I'm not a gamer but would like to try some of the VR tours and golf. I'm definitely NOT going to spend thousands on an Apple VR and realize how great the Quest 3 is but even that's a lot to spend when I don't know if I'll really like it or not.....I'm currently looking for a gently used Quest 2 to give it a try and if I decide to upgrade to a 3, I'll still be able to probably recover most of my initial expenditure on the 2
Hehe 69 funni number
Hi Sir, as you mentioned I would definitely recommend getting one gently used. I know I got lucky, but I got an almost mint Quest 2 from Facebook marketplace for $100 (it also included an aftermarket headstrap which is worth like another $40). I see Q2's going for around ~$150'ish on FB marketplace. If you can snag one at or below that ~$150 price point, def pull the trigger on that deal. Best of luck Sir, and welcome to VR!
@@FunkyHacker too late, I got a new 128gig one and have a head strap/charger ordered as well as prescription lens inserts....so I'm up near $1000....but less than buying an Apple I guess
@@lenimbery7038did you get the Q2 or the Q3? As an older gentleman, I'd love to hear what you think of it so far. Favorites to play on it? Either way, congratulations man!
@@FunkyHacker Q3. After 3 days I’m impressed that it’s a whole computer with optics, power, and storage that obviously has a very powerful graphics engine and can sit on your head. I’ve only had three days with it and find it a bit daunting to gain my credit dexterity using the controls. I’m impressed with the 3D video and sound immersion. The pass through video quality is a bit disappointing with its clarity and not useful except for being aware of where you are in your room. The sound quality is better than I expected. The few multi person environments that I’ve tried were kind of annoying with a lot of 12 year olds running around and just being disruptive as they’re prone to do. I’ve bought the golf+ game and tried one shooting game in free mode which I haven’t gotten through basic training mode. I’ve watched some 3D movies in Bigscreen and there’s several interesting meditation or exploration environments too. So far I’m not bored and trying to limit my use to a couple of hours per day
Amazon selling for 170 usd rn
had a quest 2 since it was called the oculus quest 2 and seeing the head strap white while mine is yellowing and greening out into perspective how much me and my siblings have been using this headset
Well I would not make that claim and I never had any other Quest product till now. I own a Quest 3 and enjoy it very much. Some people may find getting the Quest 2 only because it is cheaper. I wanted the more processor power, better quality lenses, wider sweet spot, etc. and as more games come out, they will be more graphically better for the Quest 3.
Another question is how long will Meta support the Quest 2 with them coming out with a Quest 3 lite version of VR.
It is the Quest 3 for me, thank you.
Im trying to get in shape. Now this is $200 th8ink I should grab it +beat saber? Also I wear corrective lenses. Does this make the $200 go out the window?
This might be when I finally upgrade from my CV1
Index owner watching this thinking to sell amazing index and get used quest2 for ease of use
I thinkk I might wait for a year until a inevitable price drop hits, cause Meta will eventually release a Quest 3 slim, and when that happens the regular quest 3 will become null and void to some people, and when that happens buyers guilt will hit the consumers and after market sellers, which will be great pickins for a price as low as 200
Girlfriend got me one on Amazon for 199 new one day shipping for my bday!!!
There's a very simple reason the Quest 2 is selling better...... its half the price
I would like to make a correction to something you said about the Quest 2 price.
The current price for a brand new Quest 2 headset is NOT a lower price, that is actually the original price. It started at that price, then they upped the cost for la few months, the Quest 3 came out and then they lowered it back to original cost around the holidays.
Right now a lot of places have them for only $200 with extra add ons… Best Buy has a pair of earphones for them and a 3 month trial of CZcams premium, Walmart has it with a $50 meta marketplace gift card
I made my choice I decided to buy it
How long do you think the Quest 2 is going to he supported?
I'm considering buying my first VR headset but longevity is a concern since im way too late to the quest 2
same
Figuring that Quest 2 was actually the best selling headset during the holiday season by a pretty large margin and theres over 20+ million Quest 2's in the wild I'm going to guess a while. Also don't forget Quest 2 is also a PCVR headset so you can use it for PCVR games even if Quest2 begins to lose support games. But I would guess at least 2 years . As someone who upgraded from a Quest 2 to Quest 3 I recommend either. If money is an issue Quest 2 is a great deal at $250. It feels like a steal. Quest 3 however is better in every way possible. Also if you want to do the "Spatial Computing" similar to the apple vision Pro, Quest 3 does it alot better than the Quest 2 due to the far superior color passthrough. So if you have the money Quest 3 is better.
Its the best selling VR headset by a wide margin. I imagine they'll support it until 2026-2027 at least but it'll be struggling by 2027, and the Quest 4 would theoretically be out on the market around that time. It'll be obsolete and too 'weak' for those newer experiences coming in the late 2020's.
@@illestrated4191 so the 2026-2027 the quest 2 stop supporting?
Meto CTO Andrew Bosworth has promised the Quest 2 will continue to receive updates 3 years past the time the device is taken off the market.
I want the MQ2 & MQ3 owners to play & work together, not to be in competition. We're all family!
BTW, i have the same headstrap for my MQ3 as your MQ2 one 😊😊😊
Why doesn't HotshotTek do like a let's play or something else in VR?
I need to, I think it would be fun and lets us test new games and gears.
I just bought the quest 3, I really appreciate the fact that you're always honest about the pros and cons. Thank you for being such a genuine CZcamsr and helping people make informed decisions@@HotshotTek
now the quest 2 is on sale for $199 as of 5/8/24
what game was it at the beginning where he was smacking some dude?
Blade and sorcery probably. Maybe creed
my moms friend lives in the US, and me and my family in brazil
theres this other friend, lets call her "flower". flower's mom lives in brazil, close to my city, and sometimes shes here. she will bring my us mq2 🤠👍
I have broken 6 quest 2 controllers. The index finger trigger keeps breaking and getting stuck. I hope the quest 3 doesnt have this issue.
Damn man
It's on sale for $199.99!!!
So what would you recommend for someone who is buying a VR for the first time? A 128 gig or a 256 gig what is the difference? Is it just the ability to store more games on the headset?
Yes, it's just storage capacity. That's the only difference. I personally ordered 256 GB. Can never have too much storage space.
Lmao I’m just hoping they don’t pull an apple move and start slowing down older sets to force people to buy the new
512 GBs is also pretty nice on the quest 3. From 128gbs to 512gbs with an apple product would be a thousand dollar difference. A couple hundred more and you get a decent upgrade in graphical fidelity and comfort. This guy left a lot out. Look at more videos.
I’m considering upgrading from the original Rift. I just don’t feel like setting everything up anymore. At half the price Quest 2 seems like a no brainer, but of course I’m still weighing on if it’s smarter to go with the most current edition.
Going from rift to quest 2 is pretty big. its a great headset but quest 3 is better in every way possible. includding pcvr. quest 3 supporting wifi 6e makes a prettybig difference doing wireless pcvr. the lens makes a huge difference aswell. its so clear on quest 3. quest 2 is still really nice and u will see a night and day difference. ditching the sensor of the rift alone makes worth it. resolutilnnis way higher than rift as well
how well does wearing glasses work with this product?
10/10
I was checking these out at target today. But, I wanted to see what the requirements were. I heard facebook (maybe not) and a meta quest account? Why do I need a metaquest account to use an item I paid 250.00 for? Is the money not enough? They need my personal info too? Anyone know the correct answer? I just went through this BS with HP.... bought a printer and guess what? It won't work unless I'm online.... If it requires the net I won't buy it... simple...
You just connect ur Facebook account and ur good
would you recommend buying a Quest 2 now or wait for the Quest 3 Lite?
Quest 3 lite, but we don’t know when it will be released or will it really come available. It’s unfortunately a gabble.
@@HotshotTek ok cool so for sure wait for the Lite instead of getting the Q2? rumors say the Lite won’t have removable straps so idk if i would still be able to extend the battery life w/ an additional battery. that’s my only concern also don’t know it will be >$250.
@@HotshotTek i heard it comes out between the first quarter to half of this year.
@@Willehy powerbanks
I'd pull the trigger on the Quest 2 now, it's awesome
I just got one for 50 GBP
they are going for 218 on amazon and idk if i should just bite the bullet and get one
I see it for $199 on Walmart with a $50 credit
Is the quest 2 still with it just to watch movies ? They are super cheap used. I’m thinking of experiment with it.
bruh you can play games watch movies you can see and set a virtual boundary in your house lol you can do anything bro buyyyy ittttttt i bought it for my bday worth it my mom uses it for 3hrs day
I got an Elite strap from WaveVR with a 5000mAH battery on it, That connects to the back making no weight on the side, I got the Quest 2 to see what VR is like as I do Sim Racing, When I tried teh PSVR I was MEH, Not very good, Only good thing was Dirt Rally in VR, But now, Using teh Quest 2 in Dirt Rally 2 have blown my mind so to speak, I am wishing now I got the Quest 3 though for the Sim Racing, The Pancake lens is meant to be better, So I will use the Quest 2 until Xmas time when the Quest 3 drops in price, As the Stand alone part of VR is a lot better with the Quest 3, But will there be a Quest 4 by the time Xmas comes around, I might even look that up, Probably because all the bad things with the Quest 3 will be ironed out with the Quest 4, It won't be long before i9 and 4090 PC power will be in a stand alone headset, That again blows my mind, I am going to try that DJ app, Pioneer one, I am just too broke now after getting the Quest and Elite strap, But for the price of just over 30 pounds the WaveVR Elite battery strap is amazing, I can get over 8 hours of VR Sim Racing with the Link cable connected to the 5000mAH battery strap, I am thinking of getting one with more Battery power, And now you can even get Batteries that go on the side allowing you to use the Link cable, But now VR is improving with PC power as a stand alone, TV's, PC monitors and even things like the Steam Deck will be a non starter so to speak, I bet they will have to update the Steam Deck to run VR, Or make a version of the Steam Deck that is VR ready, That will be next I think, And then VR headsets with GPU power of the 4090, I think is amazing, Revolutionary, Being able to recreate experiments, Operations on people putting in scenarios for training under pressure, So for the Medical world Stand Alone VR is going to change things completely, Isn't that such an amazing thing, Now even people who suffered with horrible life changing strokes, Can help get body movement back in the motor functions of the brain using VR to help the body do that is only going to help VR become more available to people, And with the learning, Putting fun into education by way of doing experiments in VR, The Schools Science class can be run using VR, Geography can be done using VR, With the teacher creating the tasks at hand, Is also educating the teacher, VR sold, lol......
Watch this space in another five to ten years, Sun glasses will be linked to your phone, Creating your own VR sun glasses, lol, Mixed reality is mind bogglingly nuts, lol, I can only imagine what technology the military is playing with in VR, Most training scenarios is probably done it VR...
I am going to try Euro Truck 2 now in a bit, But AMS 2 and Dirt Rally 2 is the best Sim Racing games in VR so far for me, I am just hoping now that Dirt Rally 2 is optimized so well for VR and AMS 2 is more Sim Racing games takes time out for VR to be optimized properly, If the Game is great in VR the game will sell more as now the Quest 2 have become available to most, Now so may kids will be getting Quest 2 and 3's for Xmas it would be daft not to get the game running great in VR, VR is the future of Gaming now full stop, It won't be long before VR headsets will have 360 hertz or more......
Yeah I would say to anyone to grab the WaveVR Elite battery strap, It is made for the Quest 2 anyways, It would work on a Quest 3 I would imagine......
Which sim you on?
@@dubhitradio At the moment, AMS 2, Dirt Rally 2, And I have been trying Euro Truck 2 as the Sim for relaxing with, But mainly AMS 2, AMS 2 is amazing in VR see....
How about yourself, What is your go to Sim??
Oh and Beam NG as well I can spend a fair few hours on....
Happy Sim'ing.....
i have money for a quest 2 but i have never had a vr should i save up more for a 3 or go ahead and by a 2
It depends on how you are gonna use it.full color passthrough may sound cooler may be nice for first few days but after what are you gonna do with it. If you are gonna use it primarily for full immersion games, doyou need quest 3 really?. Remember that games are not cheap and you may end up not buying any games specifically made for quest 3.
If you end up not using the features of quest 3 it is a waste spending that much.
Go with the Quest 2! Great deal
3
Quest 2, if you’re going to get the Quest 3 its better to wait and see if the price drops.
Get the 2 bro
I gave this thing a try and it's okay but the quality is no better than the one they released their technology in for the galaxy s7 and s8 when Samsung had the technology in their headsets. I'm in a cab right now taking it back to Best Buy because it made me feel so dizzy and disoriented and I'm will feeling a slight not that way. I couldn't even handle finish playing a game I was playing. The first free game they offer was okay because you just sit there and do puzzles. It's a cute game but not for me.
I am getting one next week to play gorilla tag hopefully its good
Was it? I really want to play beat saber

Explain to your mother that vr gaming is actually very healthy for the brain. It improves your cognitive ability, hand eye coordination, reflexes and much more. Yea the vr headset can damage eyes but you would have to wear it for a VERY along time to cause damage.

Is quest 2 no longer supported by meta ?
It’s still supported
It absolutely is still supported
Yea it is

Quest 3 is selling like CRACK dude, its second on steam if not first by now!
Bruh for me I dont see any difference I like the Quest 2
the quest 3 is in 3rd place by amount of steam users as of jan. 2024. the quest 2 still has 3x the amount of users on steam, more than the quest 3, valve index and rift s combined
meta made 4m in 30 days

bro has too much money
Listen, stop the brown nosing and be real, allow the sales gimmick. If you're truly hyped and loved up with it, then the V3 won't be worth keeping in your collection so I'll I'll pay the used price NOW? £190 plus postage of the Atlantic
my mom wont buy the wuest 3 its way too expensive abt 5k
Its 500 dollors mabey where you live its 5k
Full of hooks, do not buy, oculus cord doesn't work properly. meta support sucks. No non vr titles anymore master Zuckerberg too km care of that for us.
Dude... are you ok? Im noticing this weird "twitch" you have, like when you blink forcefully and suddenly. Its not like a "normal" blink, but more of a nervous tick or something. You gotta get that looked at by a neurologist dude. It could be an effect of all that VR on your health. Just concerned bro, thats all.
Thanks for the concerned but it’s my new contacts. Still in the trial period and just finding out the best ones for me.
Just eat each other with shades on x
I bought a quest 2 for 100 bucks.
