"The quest 2 is awesome. It plays games without a headset..."

Wut

Already got a quest 2 and don’t want to upgrade but I’ll still watch cause THE CONTENT

[ShoWu]

Thank you, the defining factor was price in my decision.

Feels good to know that my headset is completely obsolete now 🙃

I know the Quest 2 is durable but god damn did I have a heart attack when you just dropped it on the ground

[mlksda]

this video just told me in five different ways how the rift s is crap

[captorraptor]

It's amazing how the index still manages to be the best headset 2 years later.

Given not durability wise but generally the best headset

[evest]

The average of each placement, or in other words, over all ranking of the headsets is as follows

1: Index, with an average of 4.25/5 for placement
2: Reverb G2, with an average of 3.25/5 for placement
3: Quest, with an average of 3.50/5 for placement
4: Cosmos Elite, with an average of 3.00/5 for placement
5: Rift s, with an average of 1.25/5 for placement

Hopefully this is helpful

I love that he takes off the hentai sticker covered front part of his index when he makes professional videos like this

It's kind of nice now that there's several options actually tailored for different kinds of people. Like if you're on the fence, The Quest 2 is the gateway drug. Then I'm sure given time, you want to get into full body tracking and then next thing you know you're slapping down a thousand dollars for a valve index.

If you don’t got a pc get the quest 2

Me: well ok am done here

[roastedalmonds]

Haven’t had a headset since the original oculus rift and just got the quest 2. The change in quality is amazing and I can’t stop using it. Love the choice to play standalone or pc as well as having inside out tracking since I’ll be going back to college in a month and can’t set up any base stations there. Also the jump in lens quality has made vr so much better and I’m starting to play it way more than I used to.

Me who bought Rift S early this summer: 👁️ 👄 👁️

[faceless]

rift s just arrived and im watching this video. ouch
EDIT: I’ve had my rift for a nearly a week now and already have a good 20 hours in vr most of it being vr chat. I’m very satisfied with the quality of the screens and headset. I’m able to be in vr for ages compared to my og quest.

[Swervin]

I have an Oculus Rift S and the whole time I’m just thinking: “I know it’s trash, that’s why I’m here” lmao

[AlarSenpu]

Hmm 🤔 I think I’ll buy the quest 2 as I honestly can imagine that there is gonna be huge improvements to vr in the next year and will be a good stepping stone.
