The best Quest 3 review I've seen. Very detailed and technical. Great stuff!

[PaddyMcMe]

Genuinely the BEST comparison and overall 'review' of the Quest 3 on YT. SO well done man! I've subbed.
I've been on the fence about getting into VR for about 2 years now and once Q3 was announced deliberately held off. That said when it released I was disappointed by the features/stats but your comparison of them against the Q2 and more importantly the far more expensive Q-Pro has made me decide to take the plunge into VR.
You cover a few in this video but it'd be great if you could make a video on the best accessories (like Top 3 for each type) for the Quest 3 as that's the obvious next step for someone like me.

[shikimoristie]

Good review man. No bs, straight to the point, covers everything needed and without bias or missing out any specifics.

[raidmastervr]

This is a great review. Very in-depth and well articulated without unnecessary noise.
Pretty much agree with everything said in here regarding Q2 vs Q3 comparison (I own both).
Q3 was worth for the lenses alone for me. The difference between fresnel and pancake is massive.
Moving the jack sort of baffles me - I have no idea why they did it, but I can live with it.
Controller tracking seems similar to Q2, with less dead zoning.
Battery life is pain, but that is just the cost of all the tech inside. Still holds way longer than my already degraded Q2 battery.
I didn't notice any problems with PCVR over Airlink on Q3, seems to run same as Quest 2, though I heard there are some problems with Wifi 5 routers not running AX standard (mine does)

I was a quest 1 user. I was already amazed by it back then, but will get a quest 3 in 3 days on my birthday, I'm excited to try it out myself and notice the stunning difference!
It's incredible how far VR has come, thank you for your review!

[Gadgetonomy]

No matter what product you are evaluating, your reviews are always so thorough and intuitive. Yet again, I find myself heading straight to the comments section to rate you and your video - outstanding as always!

being a day 1 quest 2 owner. i upgraded to the quest3 a month after it came out. while i do like the improvements in the main areas there are 2 issues that still stick with it that are really cheap to fix and would make the experience a whole lot better. 1st thing is with the quest2 they used a fabric face mask which meta tried to make up for by sending out free silicone covers just to the same thing on the quest3 except..we didnt get free covers this time. 2nd thing is i noticed on the quest3 they added 2 more speakers to the arms. which is completely unnecessary. i noticed that at like 60% volume on either the Q2 or Q3 if you simply cup your hands over your ears it makes it 2x louder, fuller, richer. on amazon they sell "ear muffs" which slide over the arms and do what i said with the hands if they did something like that it would of saved money on the unit itself and provided wayy better sound quality with less power usage. oh and by the way. just like the quest 2 elite strap. the quest3 version is being recalled as well for the same exact reasons. they need to discontinue them especially at their price

[markschurer]

Amazingly in depth review that is genuinely helpful in understanding the benefits of Quest 3. Fantastic work!

[fernandop]

*If you have the Quest 2, can you still transfer all your games from Quest 2 to Quest 3?*

[patb]

Wow! This is the best Quest 3 review I've seen. You touched on all of the great updates. As much as I loved the improvements on the Quest 3, I had to return it because the mura on it was significantly bad where it would break my immersion and be distracting. I am not sure if I just got a really bad unit, or all units have them to some degree but mine was worse, but I couldn't stand it. I have seen youtubers like VR Flight Sim Guy say that they tried 5 different headsets and finally found one without mura. This might be down to quality control. Did your headset have it?

[JordanEwert]

Great review! Detailed and to the point. As a Quest 2 owner found this incredibly helpful when comparing. I've found I can finally play Half Life Alyx using Steam VR and it's never been better, so I'd be curious how much the supersampling compares to native quest 3 increase in pixels per eye.

[dublinvids]

I love the Pro's open interface. I don't play games, just use it for BigScreen lying down. Quest 2 rests on cheekbones, can't see evironment and mists up. Even in summer forehead never sweats wearing the Pro. Love it. Hope more open design VR headsets are released on par with the Pro. I had XReal glasses but they broke fast and were very limited, and not very immersive at all.

[stefanschuchardt]

The Quests internal resolution of the environment and in games is lower than the screen resolution itself. Take that in to consideration. Its not native resolution. Therefore the Quest 3 could output a sharper picture with less pixel steps.

But other than that very informative and complete comparison! Looking forward to see new content from you! Subscribed!

Great video ! and yup I agree the Quest3 vs QuestPro is not as clear cut. IMO, they're trade-offs as a fully decked out Quest3 (512GB, Elite Battery Strap, charging dock; I spent ~$1000) is already approaching the cost of a QuestPro setup (~$1000). I mostly use my Quest3 now, but only for standalone experiences and fitness. But when I get the itch for PCVR, I now have my QuestPro as a dedicated PCVR device (I still like the high quality QLED displays for PCVR).

[wolflahti]

I preferred the Quest 3 sound at 100% volume. More bass does not necessarily mean a better sound. Midrange was superior, and the "space" the sound filled was fuller and more present.

[eeeeyuke]

Don't buy a new Quest 2. Used market is WAY cheaper.

[thomascorley]

The quick release button... Many thanks for sharing this nugget of information! I did not realise it was there, and struggled like a crazy man to get the battery cover off last I changed the battery.

[TheExtraTerrestrial]

Thanks for this no BS review! I recently tried the Q3, and it was awesome, but just too uncomfortable for me, even with the Elite strap. Wish there was a VR headset that was actually comfortable. Maybe someday! The Q Pro seems to be pretty much obsoleted by the Q3, but it's still twice the price, LOL.

[charlesdeens]

Great review. Meta has a long way to go to make this VR stuff mainstream. Seeing how they're refining the gear, maybe ten to fifteen years from now, VR gear will be refined down to nothing more than a lightweight set of glasses.
