you will be missed.
Disappointed that you returned this Tyriel. You should have kept it to report on the future mixed reality and other feature updates. It's going to be a really exciting headset to watch these features develop over the next year or so and many CZcams reviewers seem to be returning because they just want to cover games.
Your fake account scammer is scamming ppl here with reply, you need to ban him from your channel
Great comparison thanks! All of the review videos boil down to cost difference. I love the pro and it’s vastly better than my quest 2, so $1500 is worth it to me. Plus all of the enjoyment I’ll get from this point on. A lot of reviewers I’ve watched are betting big on the quest 3, but it wouldn’t make good business sense to make it better or equal to the pro. We’d have to assume that it’s not as good as the pro, but a little better than the 2. Kinda like iPhones. So it’s another year of waiting for a middle grade headset, for a middle grade price (more than quest 2). Any new software it launches with will already be in the pro. In my opinion the quest pro will have paid itself off by then with more immersion from visual clarity, more comfort, etc. well worth $1500 😅
Thanks a lot Mark Z.
Wow you broke that down so good
I’d say this is definitely the hope. No one who owns a Quest Pro wants the Quest 3 to be bad, but they also don’t want it to be better than the Quest Pro. The power increase of the Pro vs the 2 isn’t evident in much of anything. However, the Quest 3 might help the Pro- more games will get optimized for the 3, and perhaps by extension the Pro too. Otherwise, the install base and use case of the Pro isn’t ideal for any developers to revisit games and optimize them for it.
@@nintendoconvert4045 I just went back to my quest 2 after using the quest pro for 3 months and I saw a major difference in comfort, quality, eye strain, focus, and load speed. I’m so glad I got the pro🤌🏼yes it would be great if they optimized more games!
Great review Tyriel! I have used the Quest Pro for the last 3 weeks and I agree with all the points you mentioned.
Thanks for the video i didn’t know which VR to get & i was mins away from just ordering a pro but i watched your video & the fact that when the quest 3 comes out it’s like the pro will be obsolete. I would love to pick your brain on VR set n games😁
The Quest Pro image quality is incredible. No doubt. What put me off the most was 1.) The weight. It felt balanced, but still heavy to me. 2). The charging dock. I had to fiddle around so much to get the controllers and headset to sit right. 3.) Facebook's AR API is so far behind someone like Apple's. I was trying to code some AR stuff, but was hitting so many brick walls trying to get realistic shadow. Anyway, for gaming, if Meta could bring these lenses into a Pico-4 like form factor without the face tracking and make it lighter and cheaper, it would buy it without hesitation.
Between the "TikTok dilemma" of the Pico4 headset, and the "Engineering sample issues" of the Quest Pro, I am trying to force myself to just stick with my Quest 2, until Quest 3 comes out. It's the only LOGICAL conclusion in my mind.
Great review. I forced myself to use the Quest Pro every day for around 2-3weeks. I work in a 3D art production team from home. I found it to be usable but it needs more resolution. Even a bump of 10-25 percent would help. Another huge problem is the productivity software available. I used Workrooms, Immersed, and Virtual Desktop. Immersed had the worst quality but better customization. Workrooms had better quality but lacked basic features. Meta should have solid software if this is meant for working. Both programs suffered from bad antialiasing effects around windows and affected general readability. Virtual Desktop was the best in terms of quality. No weird antialiasing. It was smooth and consistent. One massive problem is the lack of virtual multi-monitor support. I use the Quest Pro every day for workouts and gaming. It's a great device for that purpose. It is not however in a good state to use as a daily work device. You can do it but I'd rather work on two small 1080p monitors than deal with the downsides.
I added an elastic strap across the top of my quest pro and it made it feel light and a lot more comfortable.
My Quest pro is amazing. As an owner of 2 Quest 2's i would like to say that the wide focal point alone does the trick for me. If the Quest 2 moves just a little bit, everything is blurry, Quest Pro always sharp. Battery life is much longer, never got 2 hours out of Quest 2, more like 1,5. Quest pro does 2.5 for me. What I didn't expected was that the detacheable light blockers are so convenient. When I want to see stuff like a glass or perhaps my phone, I use no light blockers. Playing an immersive storygame, the full light blocker goes on. Colors are better also. Some disadvantages: Forehead pain when screwing the thing to thight. The buttons are positioned wrong so whenever taking of the headset they are accidentally pressed. I could be a little bit lighter. Anyways if you don't have to sell body parts to put the 1500 dollar on the table, it is a no-brainer.
Here's the most simple way to put it. If you have years of experience with VR, have deep pockets, or are an enthusiast, grab the Quest Pro. If you're new to VR, just stick with the Quest 2 for now.
The answer I was looking for. Ty
I love my quest pro. Having Owned nearly all headsets at some point in time the pro is my favourite. Great video and can see why many might not see it as an upgrade path considering the price. Having said that it is great that we all have different views and Vr in general is getting better.
Totally agree. I love the quest pro. It's been game changer with my work flow
@@Blessed372said no one ever
Too bad the main factor for me which is FOV is almost the same as quest 2. That alone is dealbreaker.
is it worth buying quest 2 rn or wait for quest 3?
How does the visual quality in pcvr compare to hp reverb g2?
I think the Quest Pro is a comfortable, visually amazing PCVR headset that will keep improving....and it just happens to be compatible with Quest standalone titles. If Meta adds local dimming and eye tracking with foveated rendering universally on PC based titles (or even to existing Quest titles), it will make the value proposition much much higher for enthusiasts.
Hello, does quest pro foveate rendering feature work on videos too?
Great review. I'd give the Quest 2 two more points on Price (3 total, being a third of the price). However, the controllers are much better without the rings - and the initial lag to synchronize.... well, it's just 3 seconds of your life. - no biggie, sure they'll fix that next update. Visuals are a LOT better - Horizontal FOV is bigger than OQ2 and it makes a difference - feels almost like the index (even though Index has higher Vertical FOV, but you tend to notice more the Horizontal. The colors more vibrant and the OQ2 grayish tone was annoying to me - preferred the original OQ. So visuals are a huge improvement due to higher pixel density/dimmed zones. Great video - thanks
Quick question Tyriel, knowing that you will return it, may i ask whats your main/most used headset going forward?
Lately I'm using a lot the pico 4, it became my main headset, it's so comfy
@@Tyrielwood Great, so now you’re just another Pico 4 Pusher, lol!
I have a Quest Pro coming tomorrow. XR2 is on 7nm node, whilst the XR2+ is on 4nm node.
You're confusing the XR2+ Gen 1 with the XR2 Gen 2. The XR2+ is 7nm like the original XR2. It's like a Snapdragon 870 or 865+ while the original is an 865.
I feel like you got the right points, but it’s so ridiculously close that the price and battery life (why people don’t buy the Pro) should be given more points. I can buy 2 quest 2’s, buy all the accessories, and have my friends over vs $1500 + accessories (about $200) and it does every the quest 2 can do basically.
Since it's triple the price, 3 points to Quest 2
I do agree with everything but not so much in pricing... yes, I do consider the Pro expensive and probably it could be a couple hundreds cheaper, but it's actually hard to see a smaller price for it considering everything and the comparison with the Q2 is hard to do... it's like saying that a Yaris is better value than a BMW because is cheaper, you need to put it prospective of the competitors in the category... in the business category the Pro is on the cheap side tbh, the cheapest one is the Focus3 at 1300$ (Pico4pro will be cheaper but only one market and not out yet) but it's missing a lot of big features persent in the Pro (fresnel lenses in the htc) plus standard controller instead of premium one... and the step up are all wired headset for over $2K.
FOR ME the biggest issue with the Pro is the comfort, if it doesn't feel good you have no adjustability at all and it's a big problem for most, everything else is pretty good and a big step up.
Battery life yes, it could be better considering the size and weight of the battery pack but regardless of that, when I play at 120hz or full res on pcvr the Q2 is not much better and I am using battery pack anyway, it not change anything for me, BoboVR makes an accessory for their swappable battery perfectly compatible with every headset
Just bought the PRO, just because last year I sold my Quest 2 waiting for something more.
And with the actual price and offers you could find is so worthly that I sold even my PC because I didn't use it anymore for gaming.
Tyriel you need to do more research on the pro before doing a comparison, you can get 3 hours of battery life if you turn off the face tracking and eye tracking in the options menu which is easy to do, this always you to get 3 hours of battery life from the quest pro. Additionally you failed to mention the IPD range on the quest pro which is VASTLY superior to the quest 2 and was the reason myself and several other people purchased the quest pro.
What game is that at 7:12?
I agree with all except his FOV points. I own both pro and quest 2,and can reassure everyone, FOV is MUCH better.
Just need to wear the pro more on top of your nose at an angle to maximize the FOV. You can get MUCH closer to the lenses.
What he said was about emersión, okay, the light blockers don’t block all light, but again, has nothing to do with FOV
100 percent agree with you here. The Quest Pro has the best FOV of any headset I've used, as wide on the horizontal as my Vive Pro 2 but with a better vertical FOV and much, much, much, much better edge to edge clarity. After the lenses the FOV increase is the biggest win on this headset imo, phenomenally good. Calling this a tie is bizarre to me, nearly as weird as him giving the controller award to the Quest 2.
@@kevinbrook7033 have you tried Index?
@@Jeka85 I've owned a Vive Pro 2 but not an Index. If you know Thomas from VoodooVE VR on CZcams he measured the FOV against his Index and the Pro was 2 inches shorter on the vertical but two inches wider on the horizontal.
And of course unlike the Index the Pro's entire field of view is useable and in focus, with any glare or godrays.
At 8:19 you can see that he had the forefront pad quite a bit further away from the screens thus the fov of course was lower for him, strange that he didn’t check that AND even more that this wasn’t mentioned that this is a thing at all :/
Also, the tracking on the controllers Is rock solid, worlds beyond of the controllers of quest 2, but having them booting up sometimes takes a few seconds, so that’s a con and can hopefully be improved. But the quality of quest pros controllers holds up even in the fastes beat saber sessions ^_^
Wait ... the new controllers aren't better? That was a huge selling point for me.
So your comparing $400 to $1500 which is better?
Pro is now 1000 dollars. That might mean somthing to you or not.
Hi great video,
which is best vr headset to connect to pc for vr gaming
Which comfortable and good
Resolution ?
Quest Pro has 2 different sources for panels? I believe I've seen the effect in through the lens videos. It has been reported by more than one VR reviewer (including Thrillseeker) - there are significant differences - with one case being preferable over the other. If this is present in current sales then Quest Pro sales by Meta - even at a discount - should not be sustained. (Unless you care to spot the difference upon receipt and return if necessary ????). This would mean Quality is totally compromised.
and now as I watched this one the quest 3 is rolling around on pre-order for $499.99 and the meta quest 2 is $349.99 now for the 256 GB.... so the questions is do i wait
im still using my quest 1
be quiet bot
If you have enough money then yes, otherwise no.
At 00:35 , Quest 2: "What are you doing step-VRo??" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When my glasses are vr I'll upgrade
You can actually get prescriptions for the lenses for the vr headset!
When are they gonna add a global “foveated eye tracking” so that we can boost up our resolution for every game using side quest……this is the most underrated feature…….games look literally incredible at higher resolutions and they almost run…..with foveated eye tracking it would probably be perfect idgaf if my battery dies quicker
@michael b they need to hurry the hell up! It’s been weeks with this thing and as of now im absolutely returning it……its about 10% better than the quest. Not even close to worth it
Not worth it ,i had the pro yesterday and returned it the next day. Cant tell the improvement on resolution just a bit more colorful but not for the 1500 price tag. Hard to adjust in your head. Light leaks on the bottom. Not immersive at all.
At min 4.15, is that screen door effect truly that noticeable on the pro?… like holy crap..better quality at a horrible trade off and price? No thanks.
I saw the price and I already knew who my winner is
I say Quest 2 wins how much it cost
You kind of blew it doing this review. The grade from me is a c- rather than the A you should have received an A for this review. Here's why. I'm sure you know that there are people complaining the the clarity is so good that for them the pixels are more noticeable and they did returns for that reason. It would be a deal breaker for me if I wanted it. Not mentioning this was a huge mistake. I'm thinking why would you leave this out. I can only speculate.
400 dollar headset vs 1600 dollar headset. I know exactly what i'll pick. Especially when the differences are rather minimalistic
it's not minimalistic, in fact it's very big step in visual quality special if you use PCVR with good PC power in it.
Save the money and buy the controllers
Huh
It is better, but is not 3x better... But its price is 3x.. so... no...
I think it is 3x better but you do you.
@@badmoose01 the controllers carry it hard other than that it isint that worth it. rather just but the controllers seperatley
@@deren2365 face tracking 👀
@@deren2365 color passthrough?
Pro is now 1000 dollars
Too expensive and still handcuffed by an arm processor with mediocre performance. I don't like cables but seems ARM and its exorbitant costs will be the thorn in Quest backside for years to come. The PS5 and their VR solution is at similar price point to Quest Pro. The AMD chip of PS5 (geekbench =6635) is certainly more powerful than the heat restrained cpu of Quest 2 (geekbench=1012). PS5 likely to be two to three times more powerful than Quest 3 Pro. Think Meta needs change directions and come out with external AMD CPU/GPU station that connects to headset by WiFI 7 with a promised best latency of 1MS.
I’m thinking a powerful “metaphone”… a cellphone from meta that is pretty much a power station/cpu for a new more lightweight headset…something like a mix between magic leap/quest pro/nreal air …the phone can come preloaded with fb/ig/WhatsApp …
@@MrMittens01 I like your thinking Clinton.
Pro
I’m sure he has the money to justify keeping it…he just wants and expects more of an upgrade for that price increase..which is completely understandable. I’m poor and I want it…just because I like new tech. Who cares about what’s coming out next!? I want what’s hot right now!
Quest
No you shouldn't.
skill issue
wealth issue
Both issues
No issues
Short answer: yes
Long answer: it’s the only headset out there that’s better than the quest 2 in every way. Every other headset is worse than the quest 2 in some way except for the pro.
Would you buy a quest pro for 500 dollars off? Because that's the new price permanently. For other currencys, just think 66% of the old price.
Screendoor Effect from hell on Quest PRO?! omg 🤔 Any words?
It's not nearly as noticeable inside the headset. I have a Reverb G2 and had a Vive Pro 2 before that with a 2448 x 2448 per eye resolution and the Quest Pro makes both those headsets look like trash for PCVR. The lenses, colours and FOV are all phenomenal on the Pro.
there is Almost no Sde really. best system and i have had 5.. you have to Be looking for it to really find it.
Just stay with the Quest 2. Unless you have money to throw around,and no friends, or just want to show off.
Nope. Too expensive. And it doesnt even block the light u have to buy other cover. Sooo dumb.
I think that it is devastating to Meta that their flagship headset which has objectively more good qualities than the quest 2, nevertheless fails to convince one of the biggest evangelists and enthusiasts for VR: Tyriel Wood! If this is the case for Tyriel, then it equally applies to other VR enthusasts. This is devastating for Meta, since the headset is meant to capture these users.
That is like saying one persons view is representative of everyone's for a specific targeted market. You do realise everyone has there own opinion..
Don’t buy quest pro!
