Thinking of getting an Oculus Quest 2? OR are you experiencing issues with your own Quest 2?

The Oculus Quest 2 is a fantastic VR headset - arguably the very best that you can buy today.
As a previous owner of the first generation Oculus Quest 1, I noticed some pretty significant differences between the Quest 1 vs Quest 2 which left me a bit disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, it's an amazing VR headset still - but since there are plenty of video's online all about how great this thing is - I thought I'd make one about the niggles. Did you experience any of these?

I'm pretty sure the field of view is the same, but I agree it's more noticeable due to the actual worst thing about the Quest 2 vs 1: The screen has been downgraded from OLED to LCD.

The field of view now looks worse, because the bit outside the screen is black, whereas the black of the screen is kinda grey. This is particularly bad in horror games where the dark should be dark 😀

I experienced the lens fogging thing too. A tiny tiny dab of fairy liquid on each lens, rubbed in (not wiped off), fixes it for a couple of weeks. But yes, this is another regression.

Overall, if I was given the choice between a Quest 1 and Quest 2, I'd pick the 2. But it doesn't really feel like a generational upgrade. I'd have paid £100 more for the benefits of the 2 without the regressions.

I have a question. Is it still a good playing experience when you don’t have a pc and are just using it standalone?

The number one reason is the mandatory Facebook login. They can lock you out and brick your headset if there is a problem with your account, regardless of your fault or not. And we haven't even begin to talk about privacy concerns yet.

That's a no for me dawg.

what app do you use for the work out? I've got the first oculus - have used about zero times :D

The field of view is wider than the HTC Vive that I have so I love it!. It's equal to the Quest one so I think that point might just be you. As for the lenses fogging up that is just thermal dynamics. They will fog up when the unit is colder than you by a certain percentage this will vary depending on the materials used. I have been using the quest 2 for beat sabre and fit-XR I do anywhere up to 2 hour work outs and as I like being in first place in fit XR ... I physically have to empty the sweat out from the inside of the Quest 2. I know Yuck!! I haven't had any real fogg issues. Ensure your headset is warm.. I have my headset sitting on top of or right next to my PC it's enough to dry out the padding and keep it warm enough as not to get any fogging... The straps do suck and I'm waiting for something superior to be designed similar to the pro head straps from The Vive..

Is it worth upgrading to oculus quest 2 from rift s? I have most titles on steam... :D

I have the OG Oculus Rift. Would you recommend upgrading? Seems like it would be far better ditching the tracker cameras.

Weird question....now that the original oculus quest is discontinued is it possibly worth more money? I have 2 unopened oculus quests and Jw what they’re worth today

These are not reasons to "not buy" - rather - things to consider/changes.

So when you use the link do the games run on your pc or on the quest?

2:11 - The lowered FOV of Q2 definitely takes away the immersion factor, just as you said it made the whole VR experience in Q2 lackluster (and kind of lifeless almost) compared to the wow effect and magic that was in Q1..I found myself staying apathetic watching a scene in Quill in Q2 whilst the very same Quill scenes in Q1 made me experience it in wonder and amazement ! and for some reason for example high buildings scenes made me actually feel the intimidating height of it and appreciate it in Q1 whilst in Q2 it didn't have this effect on me, not at all, it lost its VR magic in Q2.
