DONT BUY THE QUEST 3... YET!

Okay, I will admit I wanted the Quest 3 so badly that when I saw your review I was highly highly disappointed and I poo-pooed the messanger (You) and didn't trust a word you said. I thought you were exagerating and a bit of a drama queen. I OWE AN APOLOGY as big as a house, not even a small house, a mansion would be more apt. EVERY single point you made was right on! I will subscribe to your channel and will never doubt any of your reviews again.

new user here. i agree with your points! just bought my first vr and i didnt want to get quest 2. with that said, its so very painful on my head after a bit. i need to get a third party strap or something

How about this what would you say someone should look at when it comes to PCVR gaming? $1000 is enough but..... wait?

Yeah I can’t use my quest 2 ever again I tryed getting on it and I just purely love the quest 3 more I play it way more than I ever did the quest 2 I hated how blurry the corners were on the quest 2 with a battery pack or headstrap the battery isn’t an issue for me plus I have kids I’m not about to stay on the headset for 4 hours let alone 2 hours 120 hz is amazing the quality is amazing everything is close to perfect to me my girlfriend has my quest 2 now

this is a dumb video lol. its pretty much being so nit picky it is redundant. and only speaks to people with a vr head set. especially when he tries to relate it to a 1200 dollar one. if you are new dont get as quest 2 lol unless you are super tight on cash. the 3 is an over all upgrade.

thanks a lot for this !!! your the man

Resolution is 30% better. FOV is advertised as 110deg. Lenses and sharpness way better.

Thank you buddy

hi i don't know what i should buy if i should buy the quest 2 or wait until i have the money to buy the quest 3, i've seen that there's the pico 4 too but i don't really know what it's worth i plan to use the headset with my pc and in standalone but mainly pc could someone help me make my choice

If you've been a vr owner for 12 years (curious, as my early adopter membership with dev kit 2 was only 7 years ago, cv1 maybe 5) how is it you haven't gotten a good headstrap on the quest? It's common knowledge that most of the discomfort of that hmd is the fact that it's so rediculously front heavy, and the elite strap does almost nothing to help that. I cross band strap, with removable, rear mounted battery, is the way to go. I personally prefer the bobovr m2 pro headstrap with extra battery.
Balances the visor much better, more comfortable contact points, can have a battery charging while using the second, and basically run infinitely on quest 2, and like 7-9 hours on 3.
Then you can add the 20 dollar clip on headphones that are so plush they feel like wearing almost nothing, and they are worlds above the downfiring speaker ports on either quest.
Finally, add the fitness faciel interface with fan. I know, people say they can't even feel it. That's the point, you don't want your eyes drying out. But it does move enough air to significantly reduce sweat build up, and basically eliminates fogging issues in the morning or cold play sessions.
Kiwi makes some nice controller covers, that include a length extension and dock rechargeability, over the knuckles straps, and access doors so you can still access batteries if needed.
With those things, you have arguably top 3 vr experiences with quest 2, then it comes down to your personally preference.
I've been gaming since the early 80's, so I'm pretty sensitive to small increases in sharpness, and while the pancake lenses don't remove it completely, the screen door effect and blurry focus issues and god rays many people complain about (myself included, some games it's like they smeared vasoline on the lenses) are significantly reduced. Also, the quest 2's refresh is actually 70 native, 90 and above were added later and it doesn't quite keep up, even if the game is delivering plenty of frames.
I've used quest 2 standalone, wired to pc, and wireless to pc, with and without virtual desktop, and considering the large increase in fidelity you get there, even counting the compression the cable adds, I can't really see how quest 3's lenses don't give you an immediate increase in viewing pleasure, as even the same graphics should look much clearer, as they do with the pico, which you said you have.
Just seems like you are avoiding the add ons that really open up these hmd's to purposefully go for the inferior first party experience. Hell, for a while I even setup my light stations and used the index's knuckles on both and was still much much happier with that arrangement.

Dude!!!…. Thank you for your honesty…. You won my subscription and a thumbs up. My wife just bought the meta quest 2 and I was wondering if she should have bought the quest 3 and I will stick with the quest 2 till quest 4 comes out…

the quest 3 costs more to make than to buy

dont tell me what to do

If you have the quest 2 maybe stay with it but if you had the quest 2 but sold it and havent had vr in a while vut want to get another vr
The quest 3 wouldnt be a bad move since they will be coming out with greater things and like he said , everything is still in quest 2 form . Just wait. Things will get better.

Hi, i didn't saw the whole video, i'm Just at half of It, but overall i didn't hear any type of "issue" that might want me to change idea, so, would u (or anyone that Will see this comment) suggest me to buy a meta quest 3, or buy the meta quest 2 instead? (I never actually own a VR headset, like, my only "VR" headset Is a cheap "phone case" that Just keeps the phone like It should to Watch 360 video etc..)

Turn brightness down on phone to see it clearly

Got it 3 day’s ago

So far, I think that it's great the battery life depends on how much you charge it
but admittedly, it's still Less

Nice vid bro, appreciate the honesty and I agree with you.

I would disagree my lighting is bright and get no graining so maybe my lighting is better. Respect your point of view though.

The brutal honesty did it for me. FOLLOW. Def gonna watch more videos

Thank u for this btw. I’m watching videos to find the best vr headset. Do u have any experience with the hp reverb or htc vive pro 2?

i use it for pcvr, its a huge upgrade from my index, i love it

“In the quest pro you don’t use batteries, you use electricity…”. Such genius, brain smart. Too bad money can’t buy brains eh little man 😉

We are in Australia and there are no options for gift card purchases and our credit cards can't be added so we can't purchase games or ad ons. Its a scam. Pissed

In conclusion if you have the quest 2 or any other VR just stay with it in the mean time and if you’re new to VR buy the quest 3

nah.

im stuck between getting a quest 3 or quest 2 because my only experience with vr is one u put ur phone in and play stupid games and the price difference between the quest 2 and 3 is 250$, is it really worth the extra 250 or should i just get the quest 2?

It's better in every way that matters, which is just one reason really. The accounts suck for kids. The setup sucks. The hand tracking sucks the pass-through sucks, the battery is the worst without a battery strap. Facebook is as intrusive as ever with this model requiring credit card Auth for kid profile setup and acused me of not being old enough for MY profile even though I've had an account since the very first oculus. That required a picture of my license to fix, bullshit. For now though the visuals are the biggest step forward and that's all that matters. It looks so good it makes the pass-through look better and reading is easy and almost perfectly clear. That being said the pass-through is wildly different quality on the two quest 3s I have. It's pretty said but it's still the best we have for right bow.

Mark Zuckerberg is so arrogant that he made the Quest 3 for his own facial structure in mind. Narrow faced prlck that he is.

Warned me to late

Im getting sick and tired of companys in the US advertising, then under delivering on their promises. im tired of their being no consiquences for false advertising

Most companys dont give 2 shits about customer satisfaction anymore. It's now just give me your money and dont come back unless i want you to


I remember back when i was a younger a new console would come out and it was leaps and bounds better than its predecessor it looked better, preformed better, and had better games, because of that kids and young adults alike flocked to the store on release date to try and buy it before it ran out of stock

Now people dont give a shit anymore because everything is a cash grab , scam, or false or exaggerated advertising that its not worth going to get instead its better to wait for updates being pushed by the suckers who fell for the initial scam

Just got the quest 2 this morning for Christmas and wife was stressed that I would have hoped for the 3 but she or we couldn’t afford it, I told her I’m pretty sure there’s not enough of a difference for me to be upset since this is my vr I’ve owned I played the ps vr 1 and didn’t really like it with the screen door syndrome…long story short I’m beyond loving my 2 so so much and your channel

Yeah, so I got my son a quest 3 and I took his old 2 and I couldn’t see much of a difference at all other than the color cams with pass through. This is an accurate, honest review.

Lenses fog up super fast. Dont buy the quest 3. No built in fan to cool the lenses off preventing fog. Avoid this headset until they address the issue with the next model

I can't appreciate anything counterfeit

It bothers me how much has been shop lifted from unbox therapy. Change your format you look like a theif

quest 3 is def worth the upgrade.this dude a joke

Reviews are subjective and based on PERSONAL opinions so your opinion is as good and bad as others! Those of you who wants the Quest 3 YOUR opinion is the only thing that will matter in the end!

Your honesty made me subscribe, great video! I almost bought a Quest 3 you saved me. Ill stick with the 2 for now.

I've owned a total of 8 VR headsets and you need to do some homemade comfort on the Pro as it's by far the best I've used. Pico 4 bring second. Give the pro another try man, it's so much easier to hand without getting a sweaty face since it's open sided. If you cut a hole in the temple piece of the blockers just right, you can be immersed AND have air flowing from the back to keep you cool.

One want to try one

They moved the headphone jack to the opposite side of where it should be.

damn why i havent found your video yesterday . just sold my pico 4 and replaced with quest 3 and to be honest not impressed. quest 3 x3 more expensive and have issues with charging from battery pack and its painful to use without after market headstrap

I want to win. 😫

I subscribed because of your genuine honesty..

Thank you for a very honest opinion 🙂

i upgraded from quest 2 to quest 3. yeah it has worse battery life but the clarity alone has made me so much more competitive and accurate in games like pavlov. VRChat is more immersive, everything is just smoother and snappier, the color passthrough is super convenient anf I can now walk around my house while keeping my headset on. the guardian system is much improved. as far as battery im just slapping on my bobovr m2 with the m3 coversion and its good to go. or just through my 30000 mahh battery bank in my pocket and I'm set.

I MOST DEF LOVED THE HONEST REVIEW!!!! Sticking with my Quest 2!!!

Nice job on this show BTB, I feel you gave us the straight poop.
