This channel is for my review and unboxing videos to help the TH-cam community make more informed decisions on their Tech, Gaming and Lifestyle purchases. My Tech videos will focus mostly on Apple products, but may also include competitors in the space and fitness equipment among other categories. On the gaming front, I will do unboxing videos of Video Game hardware along with reviews across all the major platforms. I will also do select game reviews for some of the major titles across Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, VR and iOS/Mac. Lastly, I may also do a few lifestyle reviews on premium items like Yeti.

Nice vid!
Thanks for watching!
I have a quest 2 with quest 2 controllers and I’m probably going to buy a quest 3 in december next year because i have a 2 year insurance on my quest 2. Sould i buy quest pro controllers? I want to make my quest 2 better to use because i will have my quest 2 for a long time.
Ugh....that's a tough one. If you were getting the quest 3 sooner, I would say no since those controllers are great. The quest pro controllers are still really expensive, so if you can find them on sale (or even on eBay) maybe get them cause they are a lot better than the quest 2 controllers
Why doesn't anyone talk about the constant connection issues with the Quest Pro controllers?
I haven't had the pro ones for a while and feel like it was an issue initially for me and then after a while went away and I didn't have any issues.
@@jimdominick I feel like issues keep getting worse. I finally cut my losses and paired the Quest 3 controllers again and they work phenomenally. I think tonight once I get home, I'll try to re-pair the Pro controllers. Maybe they missed and update, and re-pairing might force an update.
Keep up the good work man, your videos are incredible and super entertaining. Keep loving what you do!
thanks for watching!!!
will you matrry me jim
haha...thanks for watching!
It's an interesting piece of hardware but I can't justify one myself. Hopefully some of the software based features will by "borrowed" for Quest.
Yeh...it's cool, but the next iterations are the ones to get excited about
I have the quest 2 and pro controllers. I find the pro controllers perfect for pool as I can hold the cue behind my back when taking a shot. This is more natural feeling playing. The quest 2 controllers I had to hold both in view of headset. So felt like I was holding a very tiny cue. I'm getting the quest 3 soon and will test them on pool. But I believe they will do the same thing, so I will pair the pro ones to that as well, if that is the case.
Quest 3 is a nice upgrade from the 2
Why doesn't meta put the technology from the quest pro controller's into full body trackers?
maybe someday....
What about vibrations? Do you feel the haptics and triggers feel as nice on the quest 3 controllers? What about battery life? Thanks for your thoughts.
Battery life has usually been great on both sets of controllers...as for the haptics, not sure I notice a huge difference there but it's been so long since I touched the pro controllers. Thanks for watching
I hav both controller , the pro vibration def better then the 3
@@ivo3777should I upgrade to the pro controllers or nah?
@@SKULLZY_YT mmm if you wants extra vibration then yes ,other then that stick with original controller
this is probably to much to ask but, could I get the Quest 3 from you for free?
hahah...sorry, but thanks for watching
When it comes to Quests, playing Beat Saber competitively with anything other than QPro controllers is sad.
Thanks for the comment and for watching
I just watched a video where a 14 year old kid who is a pro uses the regular controllers so I'm not so sure I agree anymore like I used too.
great vid. did they resize you at the apple store? once you set it up, can you check if you can shareplay with an apple tv if you have one?
They gave me the option to resize and go thru a demo at the Apple Store...but I just wanted to get home with it. They said I could come back for a different size if needed. I do have an Apple TV and it did let me mirror to the Apple TV when my wife used it as a guest so I could see what she was looking at. But some movies may not allow you to do that because of DRM....for example, she had the Disney+ app open but couldn't see the movie because I was mirroring to the TV.
Picking mine up in a few hours. Can’t wait!!
awesome...enjoy!
Honestly... Quest 3 controllers might be fine, but if you sometimes get them out of the vision of your headset, your tracking gets lost. And in games like beatsaber it annoys me to hell. So no, they are not the same or better. QTP can track even behind your headset just fine. Sure they cost a lot, but thats because they process visual data from 3 cameras and have their own snapdragon on them...
If the $300 extra cost is worth it to you....then have at it. I had issues with tracking even with the QTP controllers...but if it works well for you...awesome
The tracking problems with quest pro controllers is entirely software related. It looks like meta sodtware v62 has fixed random tracking loss.
The problem I have in every game, is that the Quest 3 controllers don't line up with whatever I'm holding in the game. Guns and swords are all leaning outward to the right. Have to bend my wrists inward to aim. A normal swing of a sword visually hits the opponent with the flat of the blade (more or less). Is there any adjustment for this?
oh man....I don't have this issue, but sounds awful. I would have to imagine there is something in the calibrations settings....maybe see what google comes back with. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the great review! Btw loved the dog cameo
Thanks for watching!
after you have been paid i bet you go back to a intel and a 4090 and never touch a mac tell next review and pay cheque
I have owned Macs for 20 years straight....so don't think that's happening anytime soon....but thanks for watching!
Confirmed my suspicions, thank you!
Thanks for watching
Great review. Invest in a wireless mic :)
Thanks...I actually did recently get a better mic ;-)
Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
Cool video. A little constructive criticism however. Punch in a bit closer so you can actually see the device and you need to massively upgrade your resolution. Serving 480p in 2023 isn't going to cut it. Can't wait for my OLED LE so glad to see your unboxing.
thanks for watching and thanks for feedback...not sure why the resolution is so messed up
He should‘ve compared it to the Wii U GamePad. The Switch is its own console, but not the GamePad.
Sorry….got rid of my Wii U 7 years ago…but if you still have one laying around, feel free to do your own comparison
@@jimdominick there‘s no real difference in it anyway, just by looking at it (aside from the chonkiness of the GamePad compared to the Portal)
Congrats on the 100 subscribers, great job!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Jim, for the honest, straight-forward video review!
Thanks Rodney...loved Back to School by the way...
Well since I don’t have a ps5 yet ima just get this one
look for this one....or there is a bundle with Spiderman 2....both of them right now are $499 so u get the game for free. Personally, I would go for Spiderman 2, but I already had the game....so went with this one.
@@jimdominick ima try and get the Spider-Man 2 one but there’s like none in stock so.
@@GeekyGamer412 Amazon has it...make sure you get the "slim" one: www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Console-Marvels-Spider-Man-Bundle-5/dp/B0CKZGY5B6/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1UZY2UL546KG9&keywords=spiderman+2+ps5+bundle&qid=1700172532&sprefix=spiderman+2+ps5+bundle%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.ac2169a1-b668-44b9-8bd0-5ec63b24bcb5
it looks really sick i cant lie.
thanks...it is pretty sweet
Do you usually lie?
@@mavfan1 yes a lottt
@@jimdominick if you ever think about throwing one of these away because of the number of things you have. Just remember me. I love playing games but ps5 is wayy to expensive in my country. So if you wanna give away an old piece of junk just throw it towards me lol😂
Yeah doesn't look much different to my eyes. They do have a digital edition slim without the pimple (disc) slot not bulging out on the side of it lol. I have a regular Digital so yeah, I'm good. Good vid though.
thanks
I'm seeing more than several unboxing videos of the PS5 slim and so far with the same game bundle, but I can't argue with that. Awesome unboxing video. To me I like the slim but some people hate it as there's something I understand about it. Although, PS5 is a powerful gaming console.
Thanks for watching!
🤙
Thanks for watching!
🌺 Promo SM
thanks
2 bits, add audio mastering to your videos, it's a click-drag in Premiere. I have to dial the volume way down which gets me slammed by any commercial inside/outside your video. Best wishes.
Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the review. I'm in the market for this unit but trying to decide whether to wait for M3 announcement and release time frame. Best of luck with your subscription goal. You're almost there!
that's always the tough part and why I usually try and get something at launch....because they are always going to come out with something better a year later. The M3 will probably be announced before the end of 2023....but given the Studio refresh launched in June 2023...I wouldn't expect an M3 studio until June of 2024 when they announce the M3 Max/Ultra. But you never know with Apple....that's just my guess based on previous launches.
@@jimdominick Agreed, M3 Studio is not likely right around the corner but an M3 Mini might have same or better performance as M2 Studio and be priced better. The rumored 3-nanometer architecture has my interest piqued. Thankfully the Studio is not a need but a want so I'll probably wait till the M3 announcement is made before committing either way.
Well, if it's anything like it was earlier this year (because I struggled between the Mac mini M2Pro and the Mac Studio M1Max.....the M3 Pro Mac mini will most likely have VERY comparable specs to the M2 Max from the current Mac Studio. But, once you upgrade the storage and the RAM on the M3 Pro Mac mini to match what's in the current M2 Max Mac Studio....their prices will be almost identical. And in most cases that Mac Studio will be cheaper since it will have been available already for 6-8 months and there will be sales. The issue I had was that the HDMI, Bluetooth and wifi were all better on this years mini vs. last years studio....but this years studio fixed that. The studio will always have more and better I/O's too (especially with the SD slot in the front and the USBC ports).
Poor audio destroys any video.
Sorry Tom. I don't have any issues when I play them on my computer or others play it. Maybe you don't have the volume slider up high enough inside the platform
It’s not that I can’t hear it, it’s the quality of your audio…..distant and echoing. I’m suggesting that it would improve the overall aesthetic of your otherwise quality video.
ok thanks...I use a mic, but maybe need to try a different one
@@jimdominick Tom is right, you need a good mic,if you planning to make videos and gain more subscribers.
keep ut up pal .. !❤👍👍
Thanks
great video. What place you've purchased this Mac Max 2? thank you
Thanks for watching! I just got it from Apple since it was at launch....but there are plenty of places where you can find it cheaper if you keep an eye out for sales.
Thank you
nice
Thanks
You desperately need a lavaliere microphone which would improve the sound immensely. Also, some type of sound absorbing items such a a bookshelf or a tree/plant would help absorb the echo. Sounds like you’re speaking at the bottom of a metal bucket.
Thanks for the feedback
I’m sure he’ll figure it out. TH-cam suggested this video to me so he’s doing something right.
hey buddy. thanks for the video. your audio is too soft for me to really hear!
thanks for the feedback....not sure what the issue is as it sounds fine on my end. But I will try a few different things to change it next time
Wow nice Mac Studio
thanks
Do unboxing for the m2 ultra not max😂
I could have just told you it was an M2 Ultra and you never would have known....
@@jimdominick yes u can but when u will do the inbox of the real ultra don’t forget that u already done it 🤣
