    Undoubtedly the quest pro is the most practical and technologically advanced AR/VR hybrid headset right now. The screen resolution is simply amazing and performance is outstanding when playing and interacting with complex AR/VR applications and games. The hand interaction is also what makes this device very special at this price range compared to other much more expensive industrial headsets. Its relatively lightweight and can with stand wearing for more than 2 hours at a stretch. For augmented reality enthusiasts this headset is pure magical and a dream come true specially at this price point! I use it everyday and not just gaming but actually working by virtually extending my work desk. Its truly futuristic! For advanced users, gamers and developers will definitely recommend going for the quest pro. My best purchase of 2023!

    Best VR headset I have ever used. Despite weighing more than the quest 2, I can’t feel it on my head.love the open design and the optics’s. New controller tracking is way more accurate. Best headset on the market.

    The pro is such a good investment I feel like it sit on your head better then the quest 2 and the facial tracking is definitely awesome considering all my friends on meta horizon has facial tracking as well… I feel like just the overall design is sleek and beautiful and when your playing I prefer the view on the pro because it’s more clear and vibrant… and I love the controllers! They are slightly heavily but feels more sturdy and just fits more better in my hands! Also I love how the charging dock is there super simple to charge… love it so much me and my husband both have a Pro!

    It’s the Future! But Maybe Not Yet

    I was skeptical about the Quest Pro. My experience thus far with VR/AR has mostly been limited to the few times I’ve gotten to use my sister’s Quest 2 and my now very neglected Oculus Go that never really impressed me that much. Right away though I noticed the difference in clarity on the screens and the much better comfort wearing and adjusting the headset. Add in the improved hardware, eye/facial tracking, and color passthrough among other features and it really does elevate the VR experience in a noticeable way. The Quest Pro is geared more for productivity and work than gaming and entertainment on the older Quest 2 and I think it has a lot of good ideas that it executes on really well, but it doesn’t get all the way there with everything and it feels like it might not quite be its time just yet, at least not for $1500, but the potential for what this could mean for future headsets like the Quest 3 is really exciting. Meta packs in a LOT of accessories with the Quest Pro, which given its price is appreciated, but a lot of them like the stylus tips are easy to miss, so I’d recommend thoroughly going through all the packaging and lifting everything up to make sure you’ve got everything. I won’t give a play-by-play of every accessory, but besides the headset the big one that jumped out at me was the charging dock that comes with it, which charges the headset and both controllers. It’s nice to have one place and one power cord to store and charge everything and it looks really great, though the controllers are a bit hard to position intuitively at first if you are just trying to line the pins up. Speaking of the controllers, they’re very comfortable to hold and the buttons are easy to reach, but they’re just a bit on the hefty side and I’d recommend keeping the wrist straps on just for safety, though personally I found the wrist straps to be annoying to adjust. Getting the head headset on was instantly a much better experience than the Quest 2 I’ve previously worn. The weight of the headset is spread out between the front and the back so it doesn’t feel like it’s pulling down on your face as much. There is a wheel on the back that adjusts the length and lets you fit it securely on your head without messing with velcro and straps and it works really well. It’s a lot like the Elite Strap for the Quest 2. I wouldn’t exactly call the Quest Pro light, but after several hours of wearing it now I can say that I never felt burdened by it and besides the sweat factor with the more intense activities like Beat Saber it has remained comfortable on my head. The headset doesn’t completely envelop the field of view and you can always kind of see the outside world on the sides and bottom of your vision and I’m guessing it was designed that way for AR applications. The included light blockers help with the sides, but the full light blocker is a separate accessory. The side light blockers attach magnetically though, which is a nice touch. Another difference I noticed right away was the quality of the displays built-in to the Quest Pro. Not that the Quest 2 is bad by any stretch, but the clarity and resolution feels like it’s on another level here. I didn’t notice any screen door effect or distortion while I was using it and the built-in fit guide helped me get the lenses adjusted where they needed to be with minimal effort. I did end up wearing the headset a bit higher on my head than I would have expected thanks to the guide, but it was still very comfortable. The setup process was pretty straightforward, though I found myself swapping between my headset and my phone a lot to get everything connected and logged in. Setting my room boundaries and play areas was also super intuitive and I was able easily identify furniture like desks and shelves and haven’t had to go back and redraw it since my initial setup. Navigating the interface and the world with the controllers works well and besides one time when I had too many lights turned off I never had an issue with tracking at all. You can also navigate with just your hands using the headset, which was not quite as precise and I had some problems with the finger gestures to activate the Oculus and start buttons, but it was still a convenient way to work when I didn’t feel like holding onto the controllers. The cameras on the outside of the headset have full color passthrough, which is good for AR stuff and moving around the room without having to take the headset off, but the image is a bit grainy - too grainy for me to see my phone screen even, which was a bummer. The internal cameras also track your eyes and face to great effect and I was really impressed with the amount of expression it can convey on my avatar through this tracking. The Quest Pro is fully compatible with all the apps the Quest 2 supported and I spent some time with I Expect You to Die and Beat Saber and they were as fun as ever, though playing Beat Saber quickly accumulated a lot of sweat on the forehead pad that I needed to clean up every 10-15 minutes, though it rarely got into the lenses which was nice. The built-in speakers on the headset are also pretty good, though for immersive apps you’ll want to hook up some headphones. I spent some time with the built-in browser navigating websites and the level of clarity with smaller text was great, and I think there are real applications for getting actual work done on this, especially with the ability to setup virtual desktops and spread your work across a bunch of VR monitors. The concept of having virtual meetings with different expressive avatars is cool too, but I don’t think it will be a regular part of anybody’s life unless/until VR really takes off into the mainstream and I think for that to happen there needs to be a less expensive version of what’s on display with the Quest Pro. The other limiting factor to using the headset full time was the battery life, which in my usage averaged around 1.5-2 hours. This means you either have to be prepared to take the headset off and charge it between uses/sessions or tether yourself to a PC or a wall outlet. Overall I think the Quest Pro is very good VR headset, but $1500 is a big ask for what it can do right now. It feels like it’s more of a showcase for where things are heading and I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing - it just means it’s not the one for most people. The Quest 2 is still a very good headset and I can definitely see the Quest 3 incorporating a lot of the tech the Pro has.

    The clarity is next level. Super fast and responsive. I have 0 complaints. I added the pro blocker attachment which really puts you in another universe when operating this beast. The possibilities are endless on what programmers can do from here. Spend the extra money on the Pro for quality and clarity you won’t regret it!

    When Meta set out to make the Quest Pro, I have to think they asked themselves: what if we didn’t have to compromise? The Quest 2, as an amazing product as it was, delivered the goods with one important consideration: cost. Cost is what drives the mass market, and drives the marginal consumer of your goods. But every brand needs a halo product. People need to see the future even if it’s not affordable to them yet. The Quest Pro is Meta’s answer to all the other higher end VR out there - showing life without the wire can still be premium. Furthermore it serves as a potential product for commercial users that isn’t nearly 100% gaming focused. Before I get into it, let’s all acknowledge that VR is currently in a position that computing was 40 years ago, or the smartphone 20 years ago; at least that’s Meta’s bet. Gaming is driving a lot of adoption - as the way we play leads the way we work. Before there were office personal computers, there were gaming consoles at home. Meta’s faith (and it’s clear from the press releases that it is) is that even if they don’t know the exact way it’ll happen, VR will revolutionize the world in the same way personal computers did. If they own the mindshare, they have tremendous opportunity to ride the way, just as Apple did with the smartphone. And Meta truly is that mindshare leader. Most people when they think of VR talk of Oculus, but that’s starting to change. The Quest, mostly due to the commercial success of the Quest 2, is also becoming a namesake unto its own. The Quest 2 made VR accessible, cheap, and easy. The Quest Pro is an evolution of the Quest product line to show what’s possible. Opening the box immediately reveals the headset. It’s securely, but snuggly placed in the box. The touch controllers are much lower profile than their forebearers, lacking the tracking rings because they themselves have cameras built in for tracking. Also inside the box is the charging dock and 45w power adapter. The dock uses pogo pins to make contact with the contacts on both the Quest Pro headset and controllers. You’ll find some auxiliary charging cables and magnetic light blockers as well adding versatility to the default setup. The Meta Quest app paired nicely and allowed me to fiddle with, stream, and otherwise manage the headset from the normal reality. I had to relaunch the app to make it find the Quest Pro as a device type, but beyond that pairing was easy. So compared to the Quest 2, the Quest Pro physically is smaller in almost every way. As many have mentioned, it’s far more balanced, with a premium halo strap built in, battery in the rear, and pancake lenses (allowing for a much thinner profile for the displays). This obviously is a much more comfortable design. In practice, my initial feelings are that the halo style strap, which wears more like a hat than the Quest 2’s strap, is less secure. I feel like the headset moves more during fast movements, but I’ve never felt like it was going to fall of my head. It’s far more comfortable and less fatiguing to wear. The Quest Pro brings many advancements but certainly not the least of which are internal sensors dedicated to tracking, well you. Many might feel that’s a creepy addition, but the truth of the matter is it’s completely necessary for a virtual world. So much of our expression is tied into our faces. Being able to reflect expressions in a virtual world deeply increases immersion and emotional buy in when interacting with others. Furthermore, those sensors can determine whether or not you have the headset correctly oriented. I was given my exact IPD, told exactly how to move the headset to the precise position for optimal use - of course after I gave the headset permission to use those sensors for that purpose. Consent is definitely a consideration for these sensors, which is welcome to see. The Quest Pro includes not only more, but better external cameras compared to the Quest 2. They reveal the actual world around you and in color. Whereas the Quest 2 provided a bleak grayscale view of the world in a pinch, the Quest Pro provides a somewhat useful view. This allows you to interact with the world around you in full color and read larger text. I was able to check the time on my watch for instance, but reading my phone was impossible. Its ability is no better on display than in the venerable demo of this idea: I Expect you To Die Home Sweet Home. It’s a tech demo of mixed reality, and boy does it change my perspective on mixed reality immersion. And you start to understand the faith Meta has in this technology. The first time you see the hidden gas pipes in your wall, and see the Z.E.U.S shock coil emerge from your floor, you’ll experience something special. My hand hit the floor harder than I liked to admit when I was rooting around where the shock coil popped up. The beauty of the Quest Pro is that it’s essentially just an uptuned Quest 2 platform. That means, the applications, store, and experience will all feel quite familiar to anyone that’s used the Meta Quest 2. Inside you have double the RAM, and 256GB of storage complimenting the enhanced Snapdragon XR2+ chipset. It would have been nice to see some way of expanding storage in a commercial environment especially, but 256GB should suffice for a lot of people. The downside is that this, while 50% more powerful, is really just a better cooled and higher clocked XR2. There is no generational shift from the Quest 2 - at least from a CPU. Of interest, the controllers do independent tracking, tied to the cameras and sensors in each controller. Each controller is rechargeable, instead of taking a AA battery. The controllers are extremely good at accurate tracking compared to the Quest 2’s camera based tracking. They also feature stylus tips that can replace the straps for drawing duties. Also - the controllers can be purchased separately to work with the Meta Quest 2, allowing their benefits to be used with the cheaper headset. I played a few games and tried out different software. Many of the experiences are similar to the Quest 2 but more refined. Games like Beat Saber felt more immediate, probably due to the greater precision of the controllers. Puzzling places was fun and different. TRIPP was calming and immersive, but I felt like the upcoming full light blockers would be better than the included peripheral light blockers. Speaking of the light blockers, they offer a quick and easy way to add some immersion. They are absolutely necessary to play games meant to be immersive (like Beat Saber) otherwise you have some very strange experiences. They connect via magnets and are quite secure. I even was able to attach and detach without removing the headset. I found when mixed/augmented reality worked, it was amazing, but I definitely felt let down by the included light blockers when I wanted to be immersive. The upcoming full light blockers will definitely be on my purchase list. The optics are greatly improved, and the display, while definitely clearer and has great contrast, doesn't really offer any more resolution or field of vision. I found myself even noticing jaggies more because of the improved optics. That said, the darker colors due to the locally dimmed LCD screens are much more immersive. I tried a couple productivity apps, and Shapes XR stood out as an accessible example of how to prototype things. I’m no creator, but checking out the models and other pieces - I could see where a mechanical engineer or designer could use these tools to quickly mock something up in 3D. The battery life isn’t horrible, but it is no improvement over the Quest 2, lasting around 2 hours. At least the included charger dock, which works really well, is easy to use. I like having a secure home, and I enjoy the satisfying noise both the controllers and headset make when they are successfully placed. The attention to detail is nice. Overall there’s a lot to unpack from the Meta Quest Pro. It’s an aspiring product. The Quest 2 showed us what was possible today at a great price. The Pro is showing us what is possible moving forward. I feel like the price point is a steep hill to climb for many. That said, the Pro is more than a gaming machine. It’s a reflection of what Meta sees the future of VR/XR/AR - whatever extra reality we’re moving towards. Professional and productive uses are being targeted, but still in their infancy. The things traditionally VR enthusiasts get excited about: higher refresh rates, high resolution, wider fields of vision - aren’t really here. What is here is a much improved tracking and sensor set that affords greater articulation of the user in the virtual world. That is where the Quest Pro truly succeeds and a reflection of the future intentions of Meta. Time will tell, but the Quest Pro may be the start of something big.
