Meta - Quest Pro - Black

The Meta Quest Pro arguably possesses the best hardware of any VR head mounted display of 2022/23. For those wanting the best without outside tracking or requiring cable routing for PCVR, this may be for you. If you have the money, have a VR capable PC, are dedicated to VR, and aren't worried about spending more for accessories or other immersion devices, I recommend this headset. If you do have a reasonable sense of value, this is probably not a good buy. I would consider waiting for the upcoming Quest 3, or investing outside of the Meta/Oculus ecosystem with base stations and whatnot. I am most impressed with: -The pancake lenses; compared to the Valve Index and Quest 1/2, the visual quality difference due to the lenses is quite distinct and even better with local dimming. Your eyes can look freely around the virtual environment without the distortion of most Fresnel lenses. The continuous IPD adjustment is also nice, for getting that crisp focus 'sweet spot'. -The controllers are wonderful. They just work, and unlike the Q1/2 they don't suffer from any 'dead zones' allowing for games that reach for the tool belt or behind the back to function hassle free. Bonus points for not needing a tracking ring. It is important to note that these controllers only have a battery life of 8 hours (which I did reach once), which may limit the more extreme gamers, as well as being notably heavier (hard to get used to for Expert+ Beat Saber) -While highly dependent on head shape, the Meta Quest Pro is comfortable for me, and doesn't give me a reverse Mohawk after long use. -Face and eye tracking. It's incredible for those who want to take immersion as far as they can, especially for social VR users. Accurate and a lot of fun in VRChat. -Charging dock is nice. My personal use case does make it somewhat of a hassle with 3DP accessories and mods, but the compact charging dock solves my issues for more money... -The headset is very balanced on my head with the battery on the back design, and doesn't shake out of place with intense games. -Glasses users may be fairly comfortable with the design of this headset -The Quest Pro's design has a double edged sword when it comes to VR immersion. There is a lot of light bleed along the face looking down. I personally became fine with it after some use, and found it to be very breathable compared to other face-hugging HMDs. The light blockers are nice enough for me, but it was a terrible decision to sell the mediocre full light blocker for 50 USD. I am least impressed with: -Not a good value for standalone VR. -AR. Passthrough is only passable at best, and distortion around hands can make it a nauseating experience. -No full length PCVR/Link cable is included. -Audio is good, but not confidently directed into your ears. I 3D printed some ear cups to redirect the audio into my ears, drastically improving volume and audio experience. -Not good battery life (2h, but does work charging during use) -Not compatible with off the shelf Quest accessories, no easy top strap for those who need it. Accessories cost more -NOTE: I made my own knuckles style grips for the controllers -If you are looking for something more future proof, this may not be it for you. With the Quest 3 on the horizon, and no base stations or easily compatible devices with other headsets, those seeking full body tracking will have to spend much more. .

This Vr headset is amazing! lightweight, comfortable and thin. I mainly use this VR headset for Content Creation and PC gaming and its been a BLAST to use and take advantage of its Eye Tracking and Facial tracking, Games for standalone vr usage are nice to play and using this device with a gaming computer is so much more amazing as it allows the device to show off its best attributes ! The pancake lenses are definitely a step above what older quest and other vr headsets use as it makes the display panels inside the device so clear and crisp ! The audio is alright, but definitely better than what was sold before, still would suggest purchasing a pair of headphones or earbuds. Battery life is great ! Another great thing is the Self Tracking controllers, this makes doing tasks in games SO MUCH EASIER so in case if you have to reach behind your back in a game, you no longer have the trouble of losing controller tracking ! The fitment and adjustability is amazing on this headset, allowing one to have this basically be Fit to you ! through methods of having the lenses be moved ever so slightly (manually) to fit your eyes and the headstrap having the right snug fit too ! Some cons about the device and controllers themselves was the fact that an IR tracking camera was not used, this means, you would need a good bit amount of light to have the tracking work on all three devices ( Controllers and Headset) in comparison to the Quest 2, but its a small gripe I personally have, nonetheless its still a great headset !

From the exceptional unboxing experience to the amazing VR fidelity and control, this VR headset is amazing. I come from owning an original Vive, Vive Pro, Valve Index, and Reverb G2. Each one has its pros and cons. The biggest con for this headset is at face value: the price. Get past that entry point and you are in for what I would say is the most comfortable, responsive, and colorful VR experience. The cameras on the controllers are a game changer, literally significantly improving my Beat Saber tracking. On the superficial level, observers may think the headset is not well covered at the bottom. This is actually beneficial in that you can have much better control of mouse and keyboard while in VR. Color pass through adds to the comfort as well, but it is important to note that text from devices and screens is not legible at the resolution it is in. I was hoping for that, but this is not a full AR experience. What eventually had me drifting away from VR was the comfort in immersion for all the previously owned headsets. So many things get in the way. With this headset, it is a much more easily wearable and usable headset. Yes, it comes at a cost, just like any great smartphone or computer does. But this is some high-quality comfort and fantastic controls. A keeper and my new go to VR headset from the bunch!
