When it comes to Virtual Reality Meta's Quest headsets are by far the most popular devices on the market today thanks to their compelling experiences, ease of use and affordable pricing. The Quest 2 is currently the most widely used virtual reality device in the world, but Meta recently launched it's successor, the Quest 3. Now when it comes to technology, we all know the newer version of a product is typically the better product, but the Quest 3 sells for twice as much as the Quest 2 and those that have used a Quest 2 know it actually offers a pretty impressive virtual and mixed reality experience. So naturally the question arises whether or not the Quest 3 is a big enough step up to make it worth paying twice as much for? Since the Quest 3 launched in October of 2023 I've been using it and have found the most notable differences between it and it's predecessor. In this video I cover everything from the physical differences between both headsets to media consumption (yes, you can watch movies and TV shows on the Quest 2 and Quest 3 on GIANT virtual screens), to the weight of each headset, to the difference in the lenses, the controllers, the battery life, the display tech, the processors powering each headset and using them for PC VR. For anyone that is considering buying a Quest 3, whether you're thinking about upgrading from the Quest 2 or looking to purchase your first VR headset, this video will give you the best comparison you can find online to help you decide whether Meta's latest and greatest headset is worth your hard earned money, or if the Quest 2 is the better choice for you. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.
If you'd like to check out the head strap I'm using with my Quest 3 here's the link to it on Amazon I talked about in the video. amzn.to/428JB0P

The quest 3 is worth it for the lenses it self with the quest 2 when your looking from left to right with your eyes or anywhere that would be a peripheral looking forward gets blury and weird looking the lenses and that extra res bump is amazing being able to see clearly playing games like ghosts tabor or contracts can put you at such bad disadvantage and it just is alot better on the eyes if you get moton sickness playing any fast passed game it causes less disorientation

As an editor, I caught the stabilization done in the pass through demo. Just wanted to feel cool by noticing it. Good video 🍻
@Maraksot78
@Maraksot78 Місяць тому
That stabilization is actually done by the headset as I was recording. As you may know, it's one of the recording options in the Quests settings. When not recording directly to the headset I'll record PCVR gameplay using Oculus mirror which also has stabilization that way I don't have to do anything in post. The stabilization is done right then and there as I'm recording. I feel it makes VR footage more comfortable for people to watch. I never realized how much we move our heads around until I watched VR or POV footage with no stabilization. It's pretty crazy how shaky it is. But as an editor I imagine you're already very familiar. 😅

The entire device is smaller and lighter and more comfortable to wear. The pass through is color and in many cases good enough to read some stuff off of phone screens (I used that in the setup process for example). And ofc it has more processing power than the Quest 1. Wireless PCVR also worked pretty good. I'm happy with the upgrade overall.

@jinxed13 My first VR experience was the Virtual Boy in the 90s. I just tried out a demo of it at Toys R Us or some place, but the tech was far from ready for prime time. The Virtual Boy left A LOT to be desired. It wasn't until a good 20 years later in 2016 that I got my first taste of more modern VR with the HTC Vive. I wanted to buy one then but I couldn't justify the cost at the time. Not to mention, I didn't have a good enough PC for VR then either. When the Quest 2 came along for only $300 and was getting very positive reviews as both a stand alone and PC VR headset that's when I finally bought my first VR headset. Pretty quickly after that I bought a Kobra Elite stock on eBay, made a video about it, and then met you and Si. So it was a good choice. 😁

@codyholbrooks4875 Місяць тому
Honestly pal I'm not hating at all. Different strokes and all that. But what makes walkabout mini golf the best game you have ever played? I see people say that all the time and I just don't understand it? It's just mini golf? It's a glorified tech demo saying hey you can use this thing to golf. Like I could understand someone that is into golfing playing something like golf+ because it has real life courses and full on physics, but mini golf? Have you not played anything else on the quest store? There are so many games with so much more substance than that. But like I said different strokes I guess.

@@codyholbrooks4875 I'll answer that. Walkabout is one of those rare games that makes me feel like I'm on holiday. No other game I've played does such a good job of it. The devs have done a great job creating the right atmosphere in this game. They understand VR better than other devs do. How much do you pay for a round of real mini golf? Walkabout is better than playing real mini golf imo. I've played golf+. It's good but the graphics let it down compared to walkabout Mini golf. I would rather play real golf than golf+ tbh. Finally, look at the rating of Walkabout in the Meta store and read the reviews there if you need more convincing. It is one of the highest rated VR games ever made.

Same, except I did not have the wireless adapter so I was still running the OG Vive with wires + index controllers. PC VR over wifi is definitely way better, and the pancake lenses + increased resolution are major game changers. It's finally getting close to feeling like what we originally imagined VR was going to be like.

To me one of the reasons to get a Quest3 was the passthrough. Color and with depth, but besides that, why I like the Quest3 better are the loudspeakers. With the Quest2 I couldn't play a game (especially Beatsaber) without earplugs. But with the Quest3 I don't need them. Also PCVR gaming is much better with a Quest3 than with the Quest2. I have a 64gb Quest2, and decided to buy the 512gb Quest3. And that's never too much capacity. Also the smaller controllers are much better than those clunky big Quest2 controllers. To me all these were enough reasons to upgrade.

@MegaDrainProductions Місяць тому
Just knowing the pass through and lenses are better is worth the upgrade alone. On the quest 2, taking a break and stepping out of your boundary into a blurry gray world is incredibly jarring. Plus as the aforementioned "sweet spot" is just annoying on those smaller lenses. My sweet spot it on the lower part of the lense so I'm either tilting my head up, constantly looking down, or just dealing with a bit of blur. The only times where the blur isn't noticeable is on brighter games like Superhot VR. Like I'm almost speedrunning through the start up and menus to get to a game because the menu is one big blur with a sliver of clearness.

My quest 3 has some very noticeable lens glare in the right lighting conditions that I feel is not being talked about enough. From what I can tell, it is an artifact of the multi layer pancake style of lenses. If you have a bright image with dark areas, you will likely see some light being bounced between lens layers and creating a glare or light bleed into the darker parts of the image. I accept that there are More premium VR headsets available at higher price points than my quest 3 and the pancake lenses although not perfect, still allow for a lower profile optical stack and goggle assembly. …but I really feel strongly that this issue isn’t being discussed by consumers or acknowledged by Meta.
@AJ-po6up
@AJ-po6up 2 місяці тому
I saw a review where someone mentioned this and even explained with a graph why it happens and yeah it has to do with the way the lenses are arranged, either way it's not that bad, if you've used headsets in the past you would know that glare and godrays have always been part of the experience and it was way worse with fresnel lenses, in fact pretty much everything was worse. There are no "premium headsets" with better optics than the Quest 3 right now, yeah there are some with higher resolution and OLED panels but they will still exhibit the same glare, and new ones no matter the price will use pancake lenses as fresnel is outdated and frankly it was always bad and almost unusable, so for the foreseeable future it will continue to be a problem, probably until a new generation or iteration of lenses comes out. Btw even the Apple Vision Pro suffers from this phenomenon so it's not just on Meta, it's a quirk of the technology, remember this is basically the first generation of these lenses after all, it will hopefully get better with time but they're a huge step up from fresnel that's for sure.

I have sold my quest 2 before quest 3 came out. I loved it but I did not have enough time to play anymore. Since, I did not checked any VR related videos/reviews until today. I am very surprised to see that VR gaming basically stacked . It seems like it can't move forward due the huge success of Quest 2. As you said it doesn't worth for developers to make exclusives or even to update games for quest 3. Don't get me wrong there are some very , very fun games starting from simple like 11 table tennis to more complex simulations like Contractors. It's just most of these games from your list were already out before quest 3 came out.

And the FOV. i just bought a 2nd hand Quest 2 which I am pleased with. However there is no denying that someone who wants better quality overall should go for the better headset available within reason - higher quality headsets are available but the price starts to climb radically & are less versatile as the Quest headsets.

I see a lot of people on the comments that have all the versions of the quest my suggestion to you is if you are unsure just get the quest 2 and see how it treats you for a few years instead of running a technological rat race I have had the quest 2 for many years and since the quest 3 the price of the quest 2 accessories have reduced rapidly and are often on sale you can get an absolutely epic bundle deal for the quest 2 for about $300 You're talking elite strap battery packs carry cases all in that price range or on the other hand if you're feeling a little bit technological and you want to go for the best of the best go for the quest 3 no harm no foul either way it's your money and your choice

I think the accessory prices that meta charge for 'official accessories" is absurd to say the least I don't know what you mean by "matures" my assumption would be perhaps you are suggesting that some of the games can be quite juvenile? Just have a look around on the store you can find things that are quite mature such as the exorcist VR there is card games that you can play hell even chess if you're looking for something more mature and more adult themed?

My answer is definitely QUEST 3!!! Quest 3 has a better faster processor, better lenses, Wider sweet spt, and great graphics qualities, and other items. The Quest 3 costs more, but for me for my first wireless headset and watching many "You Tube" videos, I now own a Quest 3. Right now I have the Quest 3 connected via a link cable to play SIM racing games. Most of my games are sitting down games. The Quest 3 is better than my Rift S and performs the way I expected to do. The Quest 2 is a good VR headset, but I wanted something more. Bye!

I have the Meta Quest 3. The 512 GB version. The only thing I don't like about it is they do not allow you to delete images or videos or data from the cloud or the app on on your phone. They only allow you to delete these images from the head unit itself. Which makes me wonder why are they not allowing you to delete from the cloud what are they doing with all this information that they refused to let you delete be careful what you download

7900XTX or 4080 Super? Which would you all recommend for dedicated VR use only?? I have to pick one this week! :) AMD is closing the encoding efficiency gap very fast, Nvidia maintains less than 4% advantage in AV1 & HEVC encoding, but the latest Radeon release a couple days ago says they have made more improvements. Ray tracing is not needed. It's hard to find reviews from anyone who has used both the 7900xtx and 4080 for VR; I'd love to see a comparison video. Thanks!
@Maraksot78
@Maraksot78 2 місяці тому
Having just watched some 4080 Super reviews this morning (contrary to popular belief, I don't get GPU's sent to me for free, I buy them all myself so I have to wait until they're available) I would say to get the 4080 Super; especially if you're going to use it primarily for VR. It's a more powerful GPU for the same price as a 7900XTX (assuming you can get one at MSRP), so it's kind of a no brainer. On top of that; I don't know about other headset manufacturers but Meta seems to support Nvidia far better than they do AMD, so you'll have fewer issues to deal with, with the 4080 Super over the 7900XTX.

@Maraksot78
@Maraksot78 9 днів тому
Depending on your vision, you may or may not need to wear your glasses when using either headset. My daughter has pretty poor vision and has to wear glasses all the time, but doesn't need them when playing VR. Other people I know however need their glasses for VR to be able to see clearly. For people who need their glasses there are companies that make insert lenses like VR Rock and VR Wave to your prescription but they do of course cost you extra. Like I talk about in the video, the Quest 2 comes with a glasses spacer which attaches to the facial interface and gives you a little extra space between the headset lenses and your eyes giving you space to wear your glasses and the Quest 3 has a spacing mechanism built in to the interface to achieve the same thing.

Or would you need to not use the link cable & directly connect to the internal battery via the usb c port on the headset. I appreciate you use WIFI for PCVR however I would also like to connect via a link cable for the higher bitrate & image quality.

Probably the lighting conditions. It will suffer if the light is poor or in bright light as the camera has to adjust to compensate. Think of it like the TV camera at a sport event, suddenly the bright or low light is there & it has to adjust or if manually it just as a bloomed out or dark grainy image. I would look at the passthrough as a general use feature & not really to be used constanly to do any work, you can on the quest 3 but it isn't going to be an actual solution & you need a good light environment.
