    Nice honest review mate. Thanks for sharing this. I've had my Quest Pro for 4x days now and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to my good old Q2. Mainly wireless PCVR wireless with Air Link, using a rtx3090 gpu. I also wear glasses and I find the light blockers are pretty uncomfortable. Hopefully 3rd parties will come out with better solutions. Actually the headset works very well without them and games/sims still seem very immersive. Def worth $1.500, for me anyway. Thanks again mate and cheers.

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem +2

      RTX3090? Nice! I'm still rocking a 2080 super lol. But I did get an order in for the 4090 (backordered) to help with video editing/exporting. Can't wait to drop that in the system and test out some PCVR games though.
      And agreed, it was hard going back to the Q2 after using the Pro for an extended period of time. Not that the Q2 is bad, I've clocked plenty of great hours in that. It's just that the screen and controllers on the Pro are a significant upgrade. So now my Q2 is going to sit in its case while I exclusively use the Pro.

    Best review about this headset I've found months later. You actually went through some work to test things out properly and compare with another headset, which is much appreciated. Your through-the-lens footage was very informative too. I'm getting my QPro tomorrow and am really curious how it will stack up to my old Q1!

      @@johnhawthorne4716 It's fantastic. If you can wear it correctly and get the lenses close to your face, then you will be amazed by how clear and sharp everything is. If you play PCVR, get ready to see detail in the distance you've never seen before.
      It might need some comfort mods for you. I replaced the front and back pads to make it less of pain to wear. Still not perfect but getting better.

    @360pickleball Před rokem +6

    You asked if I think it is worth it to buy the Quest Pro? Absolutely! The tracking is rock solid, sharp graphics and text I can actually read. Controller tracking is fantastic. As for the cost. I bought this instead of a 65" TV I was planning to get this year for the same money. I know I'll spend many more hours using my Quest Pro than I ever would watch TV. So, entertainment cost per hour is a win for the Quest Pro. I think people have just gotten used to wanting things on the cheap, but there is a lot to be said for quality, and this thing screams quality. If you can't tell, I love this thing! Thanks for your unbiased and technically deep videos!

    I've seen a lot of videos on the Quest Pro and yours is one of the best, some great information I wasn't aware of like the attachment to move the charging cable to the back. 👍One thing you may have missed was that a charging cable can also be used with the headset in use and actually increases the charge, in the Quest 2 if you use it when charging the battery will still die but it takes longer.

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem +1

      Thanks so much for the kind words! And good to know! I actually didn't know the Quest 2 would still die with a charger plugged in. I use the battery strap on my Quest 2 and have occasionally used Samsung's portable battery pack to charge it while I play (battery pack kept in back pocket while playing). I was able to actively charge the Quest 2 while playing so I'm wondering if it would be worth it for you to try a different battery pack to get a faster charge speed.

      I’ve put a few hours of work in and it worked pretty good. That said, I already have a 38” monitor that I work with and I don’t need too much more screen space. If you’re used to working on a single, smaller monitor, it’ll be a pretty big difference. My only concern is that I don’t know what the long term affects are on your eyes after being in VR for 8 hours everyday. I’ll have to do some research on that.

    For me, it was definitely worth it. I now have a year to try out experimental developing for accurate stereo colour passthrough Mixed Reality experiences. I can show my chainsaw carvings at exhibitions with this device as an extra feature for visitors, I want to augment my wood carvings! Also it's the same price as a Galaxy Fold 4, so using that as a reference, it's about right for state of the art tech.

    • @TechisodeTV

      Unfortunately, the Pico 4 won't be sold in the US so I can't really test it out without importing it. That said, I have seen some other content creators from other countries review both the Pico 4 and Quest Pro. I'd check out Tyriel Wood and Virtual Reality Oasis. They both did reviews on the Pico 4 and I believe Tyriel will be doing a Quest Pro vs Pico 4 video.

Since I wear it for a hour a day and since my neck was at issue the $ seems worth it.

    Vive XR Elite seems like the better option to me. For the same price as the Quest Pro, you could get the XR elite with the face tracking module to get all the quest pro features, plus it has a depth sensor for mixed reality and pass-through. On top of that, Vive isn't as likely to collect your data as meta is.

    You're the 1st person I've seen to try the Pro with glasses. How much of a risk is there of glasses coming into contact or touching the Pro's lenses? I know with the quest 2, glasses scratching the HMD's lenses is a BIG issue.

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem +1

      I'd say the risk is pretty slim. To reduce the risk further, you could start with the lens cranked out as far as possible from your eyes, then slowly adjust it in to a comfortable range. Then, every time you put the headset on, open up the back strap a little extra to give your glasses plenty of clearance before tightening.

    Hi, I don't play VR games, but I watch movies on my Quest 2. I am not happy with its resolution and clarity. Would you think the Quest Pro will show the movies in better resolution although the resolution specs of both are very close? Thanks!

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem

      Movies will definitely look clearer because of the pancake lenses. The entire movie screen will be in focus, whereas the further anything is from the center on the quest 2, the blurrier it gets.
      That said, I'm not sure the headset is worth $1500 if you're just going to be using it for movies. I'm sure there are other very clear headsets that you can get for watching movies at a much lower cost. For $1500, you could even buy a huge, high-quality TV to use for movies which will definitely give you a better image quality.

      I haven't had a chance to try the Pimax headsets. Unfortunately, I've gotten so used to being full wireless with the Quest 2, now the Pro, I just can't go back to being tethered. If they made a Pimax with inside out tracking and either standalone or a wireless tether to the PC, that would definitely grab my interest.
      Side note, especially now that I've seen what can be done with Foveated rendering, I don't see any reason why we can't have 180 degree field of view once foveated rendering could be baked into the hardware/software so that it just works on all games by default. Even if games needed to add support for it later, you could just black out the edges of the screen for a lower field of view with no foveated rendering.

    I only got about two hours playing Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. I also wonder what will happen once the batteries eventually become un-rechargeable, as all rechargeables eventually do. That much of a price would not be bad if you didn't have to throw the unit away when the batteries wore out, but with a definite life horizon, it becomes something like Elon Musk wanting to make the frames of his cars be the batteries, or like iPhones. Once the batteries are shot, so is your device. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but that just seems wrong on so many levels. I'm still using my great grandmother's cast iron frying pan, cutlery, and china from 150 years ago. What could possibly make me want to exchange it for one in which the non-stick surface will start deteriorating and the whole thing will need to be replaced in three years, especially when the cast iron pan has 150 years of seasoning on it which makes it essentially non-stick? I guess I really don't understand this sending everything to the landfill where it sits and pollutes the soil and groundwater forever. At the very least, can't they make the batteries replaceable? I know that eventually it will become hopelessly obsolete, but even I can think of ways to make expensive equipment like this be a bit longer lived without reaching obsolescence quite quickly. The battery factor is the one thing which is making me thing more about the Quest 2 or 3 than the Pro. If it had a long life expectancy, then the price would be worth it.

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem +1

      As a former engineer, designed obsolescence is 100% a thing. When engineers design new products, they need to think about how they will be able to improve on the product in a future year to drive more sales. That sometimes results in leaving some things out with a current gen, or simply knowing your current solution isn't the best, and having an idea of how to make it better in the next revision.
      Apple is the worst with this. They'll create a problem, then sell the solution. Point in case, change the charge port style of the ipad, but not add a wireless apple pencil charger and sell a separate accessory now required to charge older apple pencils, remove the headphone jack, sell an adapter, add a camera notch to the product one year, remove it in the next year and call it innovation and an upgrade, etc.
      Apple is far from the only company doing this, but they are usually a little over the top with it.
      The battery issue is two fold. For starters, using regular AA/AAA batteries takes up a lot more space in the hardware than a built in battery. Built in batteries can also have custom shapes, allowing for a greater battery capacity in a smaller space. Unfortunately, that also makes the batteries harder to replace. Sealed batteries also allow for waterproofing, like we see on smartphones. The second part with the battery is exactly what you described. Limited charge cycles means people will eventually need to pay a huge fee to replace the battery or upgrade to the next device.
      That said, I honestly think the battery issue is more about comfort, form factor, and capacity, than it is about shortening the life cycle of a product, at least from an engineering standpoint.
      Fortunately, you can plug an external battery pack into any quest headset to extend battery life as long as you want.
      Edit: Side note, if you turn off face and eye tracking, you can get better battery life in games that don't support it.

      With the headset on your head, hold the power button for a few seconds. You'll see a menu pop up asking if you want to power off. You can click "power off" or keep holding the button until the headset turns off. If you just take the headset off and put it on the dock, it'll go into a low power mode while it charges so you can start back up faster when taking it off the charger.

      it needs to be a thing. it just seems like the easiest solution to latency especially when the alternative is me dropping over $200 on a brand new router or spending $100 on Facebook's new D-Link that apparently people have been having issues with anyway. And if either of those don't work what's my next step, trying to buy an even better graphics card?
      I mean I would probably do it if I knew 100% that it would solve any latency issues, but laptops have USB c display ports anyway.
      And my goal for the quest pro was to do things like Photoshop in it, where I could resize my monitor to be as big as I wanted it to be whether I was at home or at the office.

    • @TechisodeTV
      @TechisodeTV  Před rokem +1

      I have a wifi 6 motherboard and router with over a gigabit link speed over wifi, but my latency is still around 30ms in immersed. It's fast enough to get work done, but slow enough to notice the pointer occasionally lag a bit when moving the mouse around. One fix for this would be to hardwire the computer to your router with an ethernet cable. Unfortunately for me, my desktop is two floors up from my router so unless I drill a lot of holes in my walls and floors, I'm not getting ethernet into the office.
      That said, I saw this video on how to speed up airlink. Some of those tips may apply here as well: czcams.com/video/-Tt-H4IIdJs/video.html
      Hopefully this makes a difference until we get a wired Immersed option.
