The amount of videos I have watched regarding the difference between quest 2 and quest3, none of which have covered evert aspect until now. Thank you so much for this video. I play quest 2 just now, iv been looking to upgrade for a while but was never sure if its worth the money. Watching this video has made this choice alot easier. So thank you for the good work sir keep up the good work
I just got a Quest 3. It's amazing. I had an HTV Vive with the wireless adapter and Valve Index controllers. The Quest has blown me away with the resolution and wireless PC VR over wifi. I love the Quest "platform" that makes getting into social interaction fast and easy. No regrets at all. Love it.
Same, except I did not have the wireless adapter so I was still running the OG Vive with wires + index controllers. PC VR over wifi is definitely way better, and the pancake lenses + increased resolution are major game changers. It's finally getting close to feeling like what we originally imagined VR was going to be like.
@@prestenbogosavljevic4759 It's a huge upgrade over the Quest 1 at least. Much better image quality thanks to the higher resolution. The entire device is smaller and lighter and more comfortable to wear. The pass through is color and in many cases good enough to read some stuff off of phone screens (I used that in the setup process for example). And ofc it has more processing power than the Quest 1. Wireless PCVR also worked pretty good. I'm happy with the upgrade overall.
It's a huge upgrade from Quest 1. The only thing I miss about the Quest 1 is the black levels on the OLED screen. When OLED returns on the Quest then VR will truly take off.
I agree, it being pitch black made things a lot more terrifying in games like Saints and Sinners, on the Quest 2 while it is still pretty creepy, its a lot less creepy because of it not being fully blacked out
Great review between the 2 headsets as always very thorough, you touched on every single thing that's important imo. I'm coming from a Rift S/Quest 1 so Q3 is a huge upgrade for me so I didn't need any convincing but your comparison was very reassuring. Is corny to say this but you've become one of my favorite VR/tech TH-camrs. 👍
Have both ...Quest 3 clearly worth the upgrade. I was doubtful at first, but after owning it , i sold my psvr2 and just use my quest 3 for movies daily ... There are some games like Asgards Wrath and the obvious Red Matter 2 you can tell the difference ..Great fk headset
@cn9296 so primarily what I use it for ... For sure, more comfortable and fov is worth the slight upgrade. SCREEN RESOLUTION ...NOT SUPER DIFFERENT FOR more..But it's a better headset, especially if you play certain games on it ... If I had the choice again, I would still buy it ..But it depends on the financial situation ...not cheap if it's just for movies
@@jaysoegaard this is what i really want to know, is there a big difference in watching movies, brightness, sharpness! Because i dont care about pasthrough nor playing games.
@cn9296 Sharpness, in my opinion, no , but sharper because of lenses ... so your eyes can see more of the screen easier without vision distortion . FOV makes a difference ..
That stabilization is actually done by the headset as I was recording. As you may know, it's one of the recording options in the Quests settings. When not recording directly to the headset I'll record PCVR gameplay using Oculus mirror which also has stabilization that way I don't have to do anything in post. The stabilization is done right then and there as I'm recording. I feel it makes VR footage more comfortable for people to watch. I never realized how much we move our heads around until I watched VR or POV footage with no stabilization. It's pretty crazy how shaky it is. But as an editor I imagine you're already very familiar. 😅
To me one of the reasons to get a Quest3 was the passthrough. Color and with depth, but besides that, why I like the Quest3 better are the loudspeakers. With the Quest2 I couldn't play a game (especially Beatsaber) without earplugs. But with the Quest3 I don't need them. Also PCVR gaming is much better with a Quest3 than with the Quest2. I have a 64gb Quest2, and decided to buy the 512gb Quest3. And that's never too much capacity. Also the smaller controllers are much better than those clunky big Quest2 controllers. To me all these were enough reasons to upgrade.
@@PetKingdom-wl8me That's then probably in your case. It's far from perfect, but a lot better than the Quest2 or Pico4 and I have not much distortion. To me it is useful.
@@PetKingdom-wl8meNo way in heck its trash. You want to see trash passthrough? Try putting on my original 2016 release Vive. After upgrading from that to the Quest 3, it is literally game changing. I can actually use VR while walking around and doing activities and chores irl around my house. Quest 2 is also pretty far from usable for everyday life passthrough. Apple might be the best game in town right now, but the Quest 3 has functional colour passthrough for an affordable price. That is heckin awesome.
@@dtz1000 That must be your Quest3 then, maybe because its sits different on your head than it ideally should be. To me it's such an improvement that I never use headphones or earplugs with it. Base, treble and sound in general are more than ok to me.
Indeed when my q3 went to get repaired and I used my q2 I was like this thing was so good back in the day and when I went back I was like how this thing is horrible
Ohh cool, wanted to check this out as soon as you told me it was on the to do list. Although we have both, I am really interested in your thoughts, especially on the controllers and ofc the price drops. As usual very informative and up to your high standards!
Thanks for checking the video out J. I appreciate your feedback. I didn't go in depth on the controllers, I know Si pays really close attention to that, and understandably so, it's what he does for a living, but this video was more a high level overview highlighting the main differences between the Q3 and Q2 to hopefully help people wondering if the 3 is worth the rather significant price increase.
@Maraksot78 yeah ofc and it was very nicely explained. It is amazing how far they have come since I first used the dk1 and was sick for the rest of the night after 5 mins.
@jinxed13 My first VR experience was the Virtual Boy in the 90s. I just tried out a demo of it at Toys R Us or some place, but the tech was far from ready for prime time. The Virtual Boy left A LOT to be desired. It wasn't until a good 20 years later in 2016 that I got my first taste of more modern VR with the HTC Vive. I wanted to buy one then but I couldn't justify the cost at the time. Not to mention, I didn't have a good enough PC for VR then either. When the Quest 2 came along for only $300 and was getting very positive reviews as both a stand alone and PC VR headset that's when I finally bought my first VR headset. Pretty quickly after that I bought a Kobra Elite stock on eBay, made a video about it, and then met you and Si. So it was a good choice. 😁
I paid nearly $700 to play walkabout mini golf on an upgraded headset and im not mad about it. Its honestly the best game ive play and probably put over 500 hours into it
Honestly pal I'm not hating at all. Different strokes and all that. But what makes walkabout mini golf the best game you have ever played? I see people say that all the time and I just don't understand it? It's just mini golf? It's a glorified tech demo saying hey you can use this thing to golf. Like I could understand someone that is into golfing playing something like golf+ because it has real life courses and full on physics, but mini golf? Have you not played anything else on the quest store? There are so many games with so much more substance than that. But like I said different strokes I guess.
@@codyholbrooks4875if what they said isn’t an ad idk what they’re up to on vr but I’d say most of us just cling to feels right for us and I guess golf scratches the itch for this person but most of us are similar to me(I may be wrong about that) but we just bounce around between games but always have our concrete games like walkabout golf for this person but for me,ghosts of tabor, but in the end I bet we both just go through our libraries
@@codyholbrooks4875 I'll answer that. Walkabout is one of those rare games that makes me feel like I'm on holiday. No other game I've played does such a good job of it. The devs have done a great job creating the right atmosphere in this game. They understand VR better than other devs do. How much do you pay for a round of real mini golf? Walkabout is better than playing real mini golf imo. I've played golf+. It's good but the graphics let it down compared to walkabout Mini golf. I would rather play real golf than golf+ tbh. Finally, look at the rating of Walkabout in the Meta store and read the reviews there if you need more convincing. It is one of the highest rated VR games ever made.
Now, I expecting same comparison Q3 with Apple VPro mostly in Passthrough modes and Games availability. Nice talking here and thank you for your opinions. I used Q2 but soon after Q3 became "tested" , got one. Now, after numerous updates, just love to use my Quest 3 and TH-cam VR visual quality exceed my expectations.
Yeah quest 3 is superior when paired with quest game optimizer app. It’s far more costly if you get the 512gb models plus prescription lenses (if you wear glasses), plus elite strap with battery, plus any charging dock. Used to be able to get 25% off on games now it’s only 15% max. The hefty discount is what pulled me from getting a psvr instead. The wireless freedom with option to connect for cloud or local pcvr with virtual desktop is the extra bonus. HTC vive pro 2 can cost you well over $1300 for similar features.
Good video. I'm looking at VR again and torn as Quest 2 can be picked up for under £200 at the moment but Mixed Reality & better resolutions etc along with free Asgards Wrath II makes me keen for Quest 3
You must not have comprehended much from the review smh. Mixed reality is the only feature that’s worth it. The better resolution only works with apps that have been modified for quest 3 and that’s like 5 games out of thousands. Not worth it. If you’re worried about it coming with a free game you financially shouldn’t be buying either. You can’t afford it. Hope this helps you think a bit more clearly.
So I got a Quest 3 for Christmas and I tried a number of my old games and I can say they look so much better. I haven't tried Batman yet so I'm looking forward to that game, but with Vader it was night and day for me. Even if a game hasn't been remade for the Quest 3, the lens upgrade far surpasses that bulky Quest 2 lens that I never could find a sweet spot and I have the NordicVR head strap. I have the BoboVR S3 Pro strap on its way so once that baby is on, it's going to put the Quest 2 to shame. I couldn't go for more than 20 minutes on the Quest 2 with the NordicVR elite strap without getting a headache and my eyes became extremely fatigued trying to lock in that very small window of clarity. So far with the Quest 3 I can get to 30 minutes on just the strap that came with it and that's from a face ache but I didn't have any eye strain.
I got the quest 1 the day it came out. Upgraded to quest 3 today, if we’re on a quest 1 until now, do the swap . I never upgraded to quest 2 but this was a necessary upgrade
I own a Quest 2. Watching movies and or TH-cam inside the “Big Screen” app looks great. Moving forward… We all know that the Quest 3 provides an improved visual experience, but is this limited to only new content that is updated and/or created for the Quest 3. Has anyone purchased/used pre-existing apps such as (Brinks Traveler, Jurassic World, Star Wars Pinball and/or Spheres)? Are the visuals within these app much clearer and sharper?
Great video! I've been looking at an upgrade from an OG vive for something easier to just pickup and play to be a bit more active in games again and an option of cableless play. So many videos have just broken down a spec sheet from what I could find, and this gives an actual idea of the like for like usage I've been looking for! ❤
I have the quest 1, and I am wanting to get a new quest, but I am gun shy because when I bought my quest 1, the 2 came out like 2 months later. I wish I would have waited.
i started with a oculus rift couple years back and loved it, sold it after moving half way across the globe and now i yust ordered a new quest 2 for 250 bucks... looking forward to gettting in vr again, already got loads of games like VTOL VR
I don't know if you know, but Meta is launching the Quest 3s in 5 days. The 128GB version is going to cost $299.99 and there will also be a 256GB version for $399.99. Meta has discontinued the 128GB Quest 3 and lowered the price of the 512GB Quest 3 to $499.99. The Quest 3s is essentially the replacement for the Quest 2. It uses the same LCD screen, lenses and IPD adjustment as the Quest 2 but has the color pass-through and the same XR2 Gen 2 processor of the Quest 3. I have a 3s on pre-order right now and plan to review it in the coming weeks. There is already a lot of information about it out there though if you look for it.
@@Soulflowz If it's your first time with VR then the quest 2 is around 130$ and it's a pretty good option👍 but if your like me and really want that extra bump in quality then grab the 3😋 but be warned, the facial mechanism that objust for your eyes is pretty easy to break if you decide to switch out the headband with a kiwi band
The 2 questions I have to determine what I want to buy are: Can I connect the quest 2 to my ps5 to play games like FNAF Help Wanted without it going blurry? Can you watch youtube in mixed reality on the quest 2? Thanks
Nice job of comparison, I have had my Q2 for a few years now and will wait a while to upgrade. I would welcome the higher Res but the mic problem is off-putting. Wait till they fix that
I have sold my quest 2 before quest 3 came out. I loved it but I did not have enough time to play anymore. Since, I did not checked any VR related videos/reviews until today. I am very surprised to see that VR gaming basically stacked . It seems like it can't move forward due the huge success of Quest 2. As you said it doesn't worth for developers to make exclusives or even to update games for quest 3. Don't get me wrong there are some very , very fun games starting from simple like 11 table tennis to more complex simulations like Contractors. It's just most of these games from your list were already out before quest 3 came out.
I am stuck between a 2 and 3. Personally I don’t want to spend 500$ for something that’s just going to make it a little prettier. If anyone has any feedback as well on which to purchase I will listen
My quest 3 has some very noticeable lens glare in the right lighting conditions that I feel is not being talked about enough. From what I can tell, it is an artifact of the multi layer pancake style of lenses. If you have a bright image with dark areas, you will likely see some light being bounced between lens layers and creating a glare or light bleed into the darker parts of the image. I accept that there are More premium VR headsets available at higher price points than my quest 3 and the pancake lenses although not perfect, still allow for a lower profile optical stack and goggle assembly. …but I really feel strongly that this issue isn’t being discussed by consumers or acknowledged by Meta.
I saw a review where someone mentioned this and even explained with a graph why it happens and yeah it has to do with the way the lenses are arranged, either way it's not that bad, if you've used headsets in the past you would know that glare and godrays have always been part of the experience and it was way worse with fresnel lenses, in fact pretty much everything was worse. There are no "premium headsets" with better optics than the Quest 3 right now, yeah there are some with higher resolution and OLED panels but they will still exhibit the same glare, and new ones no matter the price will use pancake lenses as fresnel is outdated and frankly it was always bad and almost unusable, so for the foreseeable future it will continue to be a problem, probably until a new generation or iteration of lenses comes out. Btw even the Apple Vision Pro suffers from this phenomenon so it's not just on Meta, it's a quirk of the technology, remember this is basically the first generation of these lenses after all, it will hopefully get better with time but they're a huge step up from fresnel that's for sure.
Great video. I'm wondering if the quest 3 has a smoother display as far as whites not streaking? I find that with the quest two white content will streak if your not looking directly at it, also the edges around the sweet spot kinda look blurry.
That streaking and blurriness you're describing on the Quest 2 is due to the fresnel lenses in the Quest 2. The pancake lenses on the Quest 3 are WAY nicer. The sweet spot is bigger, and since you don't have the rings in the lenses, you don't get that streaking you're talking about.
im thinking of buying a quest 3 exclusively for Vrchat but I will also need full body trackers so I'd like to ask what are some cheaper trackers for quest 3?
I thought quest link and air link were the same thing! Is air link better then quest link? I think we're going to need a video on that next lol. I've been thinking of upgrading to a quest 3 a lot lately and after watching this I'm going to upgrade in a couple months. Thanks Maraksot!
Welp it's the same thing, Airlink is just wireless and Link is wired, but both use the exact same compressed stream method so the only difference is latency and battery life (since wired to a PC still drains the battery but significantly slower, specially if wifi is turned off on the headset)
@@MooshPaw Using oculus debug tool you can increase the wired link to much higher bitrate. Only wired Link you can really push the bitrate to something like 940 bitrate. Even wifi 6e you will have issues going to bitrates that high. Me personally I use virtual desktop for wireless (500 bitrate) and then link for wired (940bitrate) with a Quest 3
The quest 3 is worth it for the lenses it self with the quest 2 when your looking from left to right with your eyes or anywhere that would be a peripheral looking forward gets blury and weird looking the lenses and that extra res bump is amazing being able to see clearly playing games like ghosts tabor or contracts can put you at such bad disadvantage and it just is alot better on the eyes if you get moton sickness playing any fast passed game it causes less disorientation
@@jom7538 so which one should I get because I’m still trying to figure out what to get because this is my first VR headset and I’m not really sure if I should get the newer one or the old one please help me out my options are request 2 or 3 and yes I do plan on using all the features of it, including the mic
Probably the lighting conditions. It will suffer if the light is poor or in bright light as the camera has to adjust to compensate. Think of it like the TV camera at a sport event, suddenly the bright or low light is there & it has to adjust or if manually it just as a bloomed out or dark grainy image. I would look at the passthrough as a general use feature & not really to be used constanly to do any work, you can on the quest 3 but it isn't going to be an actual solution & you need a good light environment.
Never mind the comparison between the quest 2, which I already own, I also own the $1500 quest pro; I’d like to know if there are any advantages of the quest 3 over the quest pro that are worth me buying this new model. I must say that the color pass-through of the quest pro is grainy and not that impressive, if this feature is sharper in the quest 3 that alone would make me buy one
Do you think that the standard controllers on the quest 3 are good enough. Or should we upgrade to the quest pro controllers? Here in Australia just the standard quest 3 is 800 or something and the 512 version is 1200 😞 would love some advice on what to do and what quest 3 should I get. Thanks. I’m probably gonna use the wireless thing that lets ya play steam VR games. Cos I have 50 or more VR games on pc cos I used to play Vive on that.
I bought a quest 3 last week. Got it delivered yesterday’s. It wouldn’t update and kept shutting down. Wouldn’t pair to the app. Tech services no help. So now I have to wait for a replacement for who know how long. Glad I spent 650 bucks and there better be a free fn t shirt with the replacement.
And in pcvr (mustly using oculus link cable) the requirements for a PC using quest 3 are more demaning than for a quest 2? Or if I move decently the quest 2 then quest 3 will be also well usable? Or in other words, an upgrade from.quest 2 to quest 3 require also any update in the PC harware? Thanks a lot !!
Just knowing the pass through and lenses are better is worth the upgrade alone. On the quest 2, taking a break and stepping out of your boundary into a blurry gray world is incredibly jarring. Plus as the aforementioned "sweet spot" is just annoying on those smaller lenses. My sweet spot it on the lower part of the lense so I'm either tilting my head up, constantly looking down, or just dealing with a bit of blur. The only times where the blur isn't noticeable is on brighter games like Superhot VR. Like I'm almost speedrunning through the start up and menus to get to a game because the menu is one big blur with a sliver of clearness.
I have watched a number of your reviews to the point where it has got me excited in using VR again ! I purchased my first VR headset in 2020 when the Quest 2 was first released. I experience heaps of problems in the setup and was so disheartened I just put it back in the box and forgot about it.😢 The enthusiasm for VR and the Quest 2 has returned, and I wish to thank you for that !!! Your inspiration and simplicity of explanation is greatly appreciated and look forward to you next VR related blog. Rgds duffman
Got a used Q2 and enjoy the heck out of it when I can. I do want a Q3 and can't wait to save up for one! 20 million Q2's is impressive. I will get a Q3 when I can.
If i run the quest off of my computer can it use its resources to increase resolution or is it just limited to the standard resolution for typical quest installed games. Like lets say i play beat saber installed on the quest. It runs pretty well. Its resolution is decent. If i put it on my pc. It will obviously run better but will it look better?
Well, my Quest 2 pretty much just sits there and collects dust now, so is the the Quest 3 better for that? 😉 I think VR has a very long ways to go as far as gaming is concerned. It's good for other things.
If you play pc vr game using the quest 2 like I do, then you don't need a quest 3, most if not all quest game's are also available on steam vr and if you have a good gaming pc you can play them with ultra high graphics and performance projected onto the quest 2 so you're getting a way better experience than if you just bought game's off the quest store and played them with a quest 3.
I have the quest one and it’s like the graphics are just not good in thinking about buying a better headset but it’s like I want a really sharp image and idk if I should wait for the next meta quest or just get the quest 3
The quest 3 has a naturally much sharper image than the quest 2 and 1. Plus with its pancake lenses it doesn’t require you to be perfectly centered to see clearly, meaning your peripheral will also be clear and not blurry.
One of the only things that stop me from upgrading from my 2 to a 3 is the lack of charging while using the quest link cable. I also prefer a headset and I haven't seen a speaker setup for the 3,currently I am using the franken quest setup.
I dont have a vr headset or like anything but i would rather buy the quest 2 cus i am i bit small and am not rich so ye 😅❤❤❤ Good job on the video it was actually 20 mins which is pretty hard to do ❤❤❤❤🎉
I just bought a Quest 2 because VR is still fairly niche but there are some games I definitely want to check out! So $200 instead of $500 for someone new in the VR space is a freaking steal in my opinion. I really just wanted to do PCVR so bought a link cable and so far so good.
I’m new to vr too is the quest worth it or should I spend the extra £300 for the quest 3? I’m also thinking about doing pc vr, is the quest 2 good for that?
@@mrwillmoiif you want to have a better PCVR experience on a standalone headset the q3 is good for that and even without pcvr it can perform as well as a q2 pcvr, I recommend quest 3 but if money is tight the quest 2 is a great option.
Is there a point in getting the meta 3 with bigger memory is you don't download it to the headset?. I use the meta quest 2 airlink and everything is just saved to my computers drives. So isn't it just better to get the regular one.
My answer is definitely QUEST 3!!! Quest 3 has a better faster processor, better lenses, Wider sweet spt, and great graphics qualities, and other items. The Quest 3 costs more, but for me for my first wireless headset and watching many "You Tube" videos, I now own a Quest 3. Right now I have the Quest 3 connected via a link cable to play SIM racing games. Most of my games are sitting down games. The Quest 3 is better than my Rift S and performs the way I expected to do. The Quest 2 is a good VR headset, but I wanted something more. Bye!
Well, don't leave us hanging! If you think you'll get a lot of it, then get it for yourself and let a friend borrow your old one for some sick coop gameplay!
It depends on you man. It depends on how much time you spend in VR and if the price you pay for a Quest 3 is worth it to you or not. I personally have never used a Rift S, but I have talked to people that have gone from the Rift S to a Quest 3 and they've said the difference it massive and the Quest 3 is a big step up.
Take it from a guy who bought the CV1, then the Rift S, then the quest 2...and now the quest 3...this latest puppy is THE biggest upgrade of them all...the LENSES alone makes it worth it.
And the FOV. i just bought a 2nd hand Quest 2 which I am pleased with. However there is no denying that someone who wants better quality overall should go for the better headset available within reason - higher quality headsets are available but the price starts to climb radically & are less versatile as the Quest headsets.
for someone who is wanting to get into vr via meta what do you suggest? getting a quest 2, which at the current moment of me typing this comment most stores are saying meta is no longer making them and sending them out so i would most likely have to buy used; or just save a little longer and buy brand new quest 3?
The amount of videos I have watched regarding the difference between quest 2 and quest3, none of which have covered evert aspect until now. Thank you so much for this video. I play quest 2 just now, iv been looking to upgrade for a while but was never sure if its worth the money. Watching this video has made this choice alot easier. So thank you for the good work sir keep up the good work

Hah, I just upgraded from Quest 1 to 3 last week. Didn't even know about the integrated glasses spacer yet 😂
Lol same 😂
Is it a big upgrade?
@@prestenbogosavljevic4759 It's a huge upgrade over the Quest 1 at least. Much better image quality thanks to the higher resolution. The entire device is smaller and lighter and more comfortable to wear. The pass through is color and in many cases good enough to read some stuff off of phone screens (I used that in the setup process for example). And ofc it has more processing power than the Quest 1.
Wireless PCVR also worked pretty good. I'm happy with the upgrade overall.
It's a huge upgrade from Quest 1. The only thing I miss about the Quest 1 is the black levels on the OLED screen. When OLED returns on the Quest then VR will truly take off.
I agree, it being pitch black made things a lot more terrifying in games like Saints and Sinners, on the Quest 2 while it is still pretty creepy, its a lot less creepy because of it not being fully blacked out
Great review between the 2 headsets as always very thorough, you touched on every single thing that's important imo. I'm coming from a Rift S/Quest 1 so Q3 is a huge upgrade for me so I didn't need any convincing but your comparison was very reassuring.

what is must buy 1st upgrade you need to do on 3 ? the new headstrap or what is it called? thx
As an editor, I caught the stabilization done in the pass through demo.
Just wanted to feel cool by noticing it.
Good video 🍻
That stabilization is actually done by the headset as I was recording. As you may know, it's one of the recording options in the Quests settings. When not recording directly to the headset I'll record PCVR gameplay using Oculus mirror which also has stabilization that way I don't have to do anything in post. The stabilization is done right then and there as I'm recording. I feel it makes VR footage more comfortable for people to watch. I never realized how much we move our heads around until I watched VR or POV footage with no stabilization. It's pretty crazy how shaky it is. But as an editor I imagine you're already very familiar. 😅
To me one of the reasons to get a Quest3 was the passthrough. Color and with depth, but besides that, why I like the Quest3 better are the loudspeakers. With the Quest2 I couldn't play a game (especially Beatsaber) without earplugs. But with the Quest3 I don't need them. Also PCVR gaming is much better with a Quest3 than with the Quest2. I have a 64gb Quest2, and decided to buy the 512gb Quest3. And that's never too much capacity. Also the smaller controllers are much better than those clunky big Quest2 controllers. To me all these were enough reasons to upgrade.
Passthrough is trash on the 3 though. It's literally the 2 with color! Except the 2 do not warp as much as the 3, it's mad annoying!
@@PetKingdom-wl8me That's then probably in your case. It's far from perfect, but a lot better than the Quest2 or Pico4 and I have not much distortion. To me it is useful.
@@PetKingdom-wl8meNo way in heck its trash. You want to see trash passthrough? Try putting on my original 2016 release Vive. After upgrading from that to the Quest 3, it is literally game changing. I can actually use VR while walking around and doing activities and chores irl around my house. Quest 2 is also pretty far from usable for everyday life passthrough.
Apple might be the best game in town right now, but the Quest 3 has functional colour passthrough for an affordable price. That is heckin awesome.
I hate the speakers on Quest 3. The bass is massively overblown and the mids are drowned out as a result. It's the worst thing about the quest 3 imo.
@@dtz1000 That must be your Quest3 then, maybe because its sits different on your head than it ideally should be. To me it's such an improvement that I never use headphones or earplugs with it. Base, treble and sound in general are more than ok to me.
Just about to buy my quest 3! Thanks for such a good and solid review!
I really want one but im broke
@@Carguyz5 same 🥲
This entire review just detailed how the quest 3 is dogshit for the money. Literally 0 point in upgrading.
@whycars7898 I got it and it works great. Higher resolution then my freind q2, can run games at higher texture resolution. IMHO it was worth it
@@whycars7898minority opinion
I got a quest 3 for Christmas and it’s my first vr ever since I’ve got it I’ve been so obsessed with these videos
I’ve had the q2 for 3 years and I just updated to the q3 and the difference is insane
Indeed when my q3 went to get repaired and I used my q2 I was like this thing was so good back in the day and when I went back I was like how this thing is horrible
So it's really that much of a difference? I own a quest 2 for about 3 years or whenever they first came out
My Quest 3 will be coming this Christmas, order has already been placed!
Ohh cool, wanted to check this out as soon as you told me it was on the to do list. Although we have both, I am really interested in your thoughts, especially on the controllers and ofc the price drops. As usual very informative and up to your high standards!
Thanks for checking the video out J. I appreciate your feedback. I didn't go in depth on the controllers, I know Si pays really close attention to that, and understandably so, it's what he does for a living, but this video was more a high level overview highlighting the main differences between the Q3 and Q2 to hopefully help people wondering if the 3 is worth the rather significant price increase.
@Maraksot78 yeah ofc and it was very nicely explained. It is amazing how far they have come since I first used the dk1 and was sick for the rest of the night after 5 mins.
@jinxed13 My first VR experience was the Virtual Boy in the 90s. I just tried out a demo of it at Toys R Us or some place, but the tech was far from ready for prime time. The Virtual Boy left A LOT to be desired. It wasn't until a good 20 years later in 2016 that I got my first taste of more modern VR with the HTC Vive. I wanted to buy one then but I couldn't justify the cost at the time. Not to mention, I didn't have a good enough PC for VR then either. When the Quest 2 came along for only $300 and was getting very positive reviews as both a stand alone and PC VR headset that's when I finally bought my first VR headset. Pretty quickly after that I bought a Kobra Elite stock on eBay, made a video about it, and then met you and Si. So it was a good choice. 😁
I paid nearly $700 to play walkabout mini golf on an upgraded headset and im not mad about it. Its honestly the best game ive play and probably put over 500 hours into it
Honestly pal I'm not hating at all. Different strokes and all that. But what makes walkabout mini golf the best game you have ever played? I see people say that all the time and I just don't understand it? It's just mini golf? It's a glorified tech demo saying hey you can use this thing to golf. Like I could understand someone that is into golfing playing something like golf+ because it has real life courses and full on physics, but mini golf? Have you not played anything else on the quest store? There are so many games with so much more substance than that. But like I said different strokes I guess.
@@codyholbrooks4875if what they said isn’t an ad idk what they’re up to on vr but I’d say most of us just cling to feels right for us and I guess golf scratches the itch for this person but most of us are similar to me(I may be wrong about that) but we just bounce around between games but always have our concrete games like walkabout golf for this person but for me,ghosts of tabor, but in the end I bet we both just go through our libraries
@@codyholbrooks4875 I'll answer that. Walkabout is one of those rare games that makes me feel like I'm on holiday. No other game I've played does such a good job of it. The devs have done a great job creating the right atmosphere in this game. They understand VR better than other devs do.
How much do you pay for a round of real mini golf? Walkabout is better than playing real mini golf imo.
I've played golf+. It's good but the graphics let it down compared to walkabout Mini golf. I would rather play real golf than golf+ tbh.
Finally, look at the rating of Walkabout in the Meta store and read the reviews there if you need more convincing. It is one of the highest rated VR games ever made.
Don’t ask me why but I’ve spent well over 5000 hours on blade and sorcery nomad…
You paid 1.2 dollars per hour, sounds like a good deal to me
This is an excellent comparison vid + buyer guide, thank you =)
Thanks for the explanation about Cameras and passthrough options and the perfect comparison of the Cameras' qualities 👍
Now, I expecting same comparison Q3 with Apple VPro mostly in Passthrough modes and Games availability.
Nice talking here and thank you for your opinions. I used Q2 but soon after Q3 became "tested" , got one. Now, after numerous updates, just love to use my Quest 3 and TH-cam VR visual quality exceed my expectations.
Apple's headset is not aimed at gamers, it's mostly a "productivity tool" for Apple.
@@GoldSrc_ its a dev kit
Yeah quest 3 is superior when paired with quest game optimizer app. It’s far more costly if you get the 512gb models plus prescription lenses (if you wear glasses), plus elite strap with battery, plus any charging dock. Used to be able to get 25% off on games now it’s only 15% max. The hefty discount is what pulled me from getting a psvr instead. The wireless freedom with option to connect for cloud or local pcvr with virtual desktop is the extra bonus. HTC vive pro 2 can cost you well over $1300 for similar features.
The htc vive that I had for over 7 years had an adjustment knob in a similar location. The quest 2 honestly should have had one.
Nice video bro love the facts you bring
Good video. I'm looking at VR again and torn as Quest 2 can be picked up for under £200 at the moment but Mixed Reality & better resolutions etc along with free Asgards Wrath II makes me keen for Quest 3
You must not have comprehended much from the review smh. Mixed reality is the only feature that’s worth it. The better resolution only works with apps that have been modified for quest 3 and that’s like 5 games out of thousands. Not worth it. If you’re worried about it coming with a free game you financially shouldn’t be buying either. You can’t afford it. Hope this helps you think a bit more clearly.
@@whycars7898 fully comprehended the video, and did buy a Quest 3 which do very much like MR on it along with future proofing for titles like Batman.
So I got a Quest 3 for Christmas and I tried a number of my old games and I can say they look so much better. I haven't tried Batman yet so I'm looking forward to that game, but with Vader it was night and day for me. Even if a game hasn't been remade for the Quest 3, the lens upgrade far surpasses that bulky Quest 2 lens that I never could find a sweet spot and I have the NordicVR head strap. I have the BoboVR S3 Pro strap on its way so once that baby is on, it's going to put the Quest 2 to shame. I couldn't go for more than 20 minutes on the Quest 2 with the NordicVR elite strap without getting a headache and my eyes became extremely fatigued trying to lock in that very small window of clarity. So far with the Quest 3 I can get to 30 minutes on just the strap that came with it and that's from a face ache but I didn't have any eye strain.
I got the quest 1 the day it came out. Upgraded to quest 3 today, if we’re on a quest 1 until now, do the swap . I never upgraded to quest 2 but this was a necessary upgrade
I dont have any vr right now.What should i buy i only have a ps5.
Ps vr 2
Anker has a Quest 2 charging dock for controllers and headset.
I own a Quest 2. Watching movies and or TH-cam inside the “Big Screen” app looks great. Moving forward…
We all know that the Quest 3 provides an improved visual experience, but is this limited to only new content that is updated and/or created for the Quest 3. Has anyone purchased/used pre-existing apps such as (Brinks Traveler, Jurassic World, Star Wars Pinball and/or Spheres)? Are the visuals within these app much clearer and sharper?
Great video! I've been looking at an upgrade from an OG vive for something easier to just pickup and play to be a bit more active in games again and an option of cableless play. So many videos have just broken down a spec sheet from what I could find, and this gives an actual idea of the like for like usage I've been looking for! ❤
Excellent review ! But I'm still unsure which one is the best to buy 😢. Do you think the memory is worth thinking about?
I have the quest 1, and I am wanting to get a new quest, but I am gun shy because when I bought my quest 1, the 2 came out like 2 months later. I wish I would have waited.
VR2VSVR3😊
Thanks man. You helped me make my mind up on if I'm gonna upgrade. Subscribing.
Did you upgrade or no ?
Thank you so much for making this video dude! Gave me the confidence to buy a Quest 3 😄
Hope you enjoy it!
i started with a oculus rift couple years back and loved it, sold it after moving half way across the globe and now i yust ordered a new quest 2 for 250 bucks... looking forward to gettting in vr again, already got loads of games like VTOL VR
I last bought the quest 3 there’s any game you recommend?
Is it possible to fix or do something to the mic on the quest 3?
Thanks this really helped me decide
I don't know if you know, but Meta is launching the Quest 3s in 5 days. The 128GB version is going to cost $299.99 and there will also be a 256GB version for $399.99. Meta has discontinued the 128GB Quest 3 and lowered the price of the 512GB Quest 3 to $499.99. The Quest 3s is essentially the replacement for the Quest 2. It uses the same LCD screen, lenses and IPD adjustment as the Quest 2 but has the color pass-through and the same XR2 Gen 2 processor of the Quest 3. I have a 3s on pre-order right now and plan to review it in the coming weeks. There is already a lot of information about it out there though if you look for it.
@@Maraksot78 ok
Thank you so much. I am going to buy my first vr head set. This video really helped me make up my mind
I wonder if the microphone pop problem can be solved by dissassembling the Q3 and putting something over the mic, like a pop filter
When csn we upgrade the 500 gb?
500 gb is not enough and we should have to option to upgrade to 4tb gb.
I would most likely use my headphones with the quest three anyway, which would fix the microphone problem ....right?
Completely abandoned suckerbergs meta verse for the vive pro 2. Absolutely the best upgrade decision I’ve ever made for vr.
How is it? What day is that on us on my meta-quest, two to my aunt and uncle
As quest 2 user FOV increase and pancake lenses the most important thing, but i need to upgrade PC first. I guess at that time Quest 4 will come out.
Then by that time you will need to have an RTX5090 to get most out of your Quest4
@@SjaakSchulteis Lol dang thats true, I guess it's best to upgrade every 2 generations in the headset
so should I get the Quest 2 or 3 ? lol@@awesomeruben
@@Soulflowz If it's your first time with VR then the quest 2 is around 130$ and it's a pretty good option👍 but if your like me and really want that extra bump in quality then grab the 3😋 but be warned, the facial mechanism that objust for your eyes is pretty easy to break if you decide to switch out the headband with a kiwi band
The 2 questions I have to determine what I want to buy are:
Can I connect the quest 2 to my ps5 to play games like FNAF Help Wanted without it going blurry?
Can you watch youtube in mixed reality on the quest 2?
Thanks
You cannot connect the quest 2 or 3 to a ps5. But you can watch TH-cam mixed reality I think.
Love your vids dude
Nice job of comparison, I have had my Q2 for a few years now and will wait a while to upgrade. I would welcome the higher Res but the mic problem is off-putting. Wait till they fix that
Have you used quest 2 for pcvr? Not sure if pcvr will look good on it
Very good review!
I have sold my quest 2 before quest 3 came out. I loved it but I did not have enough time to play anymore. Since, I did not checked any VR related videos/reviews until today. I am very surprised to see that VR gaming basically stacked . It seems like it can't move forward due the huge success of Quest 2. As you said it doesn't worth for developers to make exclusives or even to update games for quest 3. Don't get me wrong there are some very , very fun games starting from simple like 11 table tennis to more complex simulations like Contractors. It's just most of these games from your list were already out before quest 3 came out.
See there you go. There’s a problem right there for nets what happened to use the Meta Quest to?
Thanks for the video much love n blessings Eternal
You didn’t really go over how good the tracking is with controllers. Also wondering if one has better quest link capabilities or farther distance
I am stuck between a 2 and 3. Personally I don’t want to spend 500$ for something that’s just going to make it a little prettier. If anyone has any feedback as well on which to purchase I will listen
I’m thinking of upgrading to the 3 but it’s kind of on that line of barely justifiable for the price. So idk
My quest 3 has some very noticeable lens glare in the right lighting conditions that I feel is not being talked about enough. From what I can tell, it is an artifact of the multi layer pancake style of lenses. If you have a bright image with dark areas, you will likely see some light being bounced between lens layers and creating a glare or light bleed into the darker parts of the image. I accept that there are More premium VR headsets available at higher price points than my quest 3 and the pancake lenses although not perfect, still allow for a lower profile optical stack and goggle assembly. …but I really feel strongly that this issue isn’t being discussed by consumers or acknowledged by Meta.
I saw a review where someone mentioned this and even explained with a graph why it happens and yeah it has to do with the way the lenses are arranged, either way it's not that bad, if you've used headsets in the past you would know that glare and godrays have always been part of the experience and it was way worse with fresnel lenses, in fact pretty much everything was worse. There are no "premium headsets" with better optics than the Quest 3 right now, yeah there are some with higher resolution and OLED panels but they will still exhibit the same glare, and new ones no matter the price will use pancake lenses as fresnel is outdated and frankly it was always bad and almost unusable, so for the foreseeable future it will continue to be a problem, probably until a new generation or iteration of lenses comes out. Btw even the Apple Vision Pro suffers from this phenomenon so it's not just on Meta, it's a quirk of the technology, remember this is basically the first generation of these lenses after all, it will hopefully get better with time but they're a huge step up from fresnel that's for sure.
There is a little glare but it's nowhere near as bad as it is on the Bigscreen Beyond or even on the Apple Vision Pro.
Great comparison video 👍. Im looking forward to pinball fx for quest 3. Especially the Williams tables.
hello do you have any setup video to get VR working with Radeon graphic cards?
The resolution for the Quest 3 passthrough cameras is Color (4MP, 18 PPD)
Which one has a more noticeable screen door effect?
Quest 2 for sure.
Great video. I'm wondering if the quest 3 has a smoother display as far as whites not streaking? I find that with the quest two white content will streak if your not looking directly at it, also the edges around the sweet spot kinda look blurry.
That streaking and blurriness you're describing on the Quest 2 is due to the fresnel lenses in the Quest 2. The pancake lenses on the Quest 3 are WAY nicer. The sweet spot is bigger, and since you don't have the rings in the lenses, you don't get that streaking you're talking about.
@Maraksot78 awe okay that's great to know, thanks you.
im thinking of buying a quest 3 exclusively for Vrchat but I will also need full body trackers so I'd like to ask what are some cheaper trackers for quest 3?
No matter how much i adjust the meter for spacing my eyes on the 3 feel cross eyed but on the 2 it doesnt.... why?
I thought quest link and air link were the same thing! Is air link better then quest link? I think we're going to need a video on that next lol. I've been thinking of upgrading to a quest 3 a lot lately and after watching this I'm going to upgrade in a couple months. Thanks Maraksot!
Welp it's the same thing, Airlink is just wireless and Link is wired, but both use the exact same compressed stream method so the only difference is latency and battery life (since wired to a PC still drains the battery but significantly slower, specially if wifi is turned off on the headset)
@@MooshPaw Using oculus debug tool you can increase the wired link to much higher bitrate. Only wired Link you can really push the bitrate to something like 940 bitrate. Even wifi 6e you will have issues going to bitrates that high.
Me personally I use virtual desktop for wireless (500 bitrate) and then link for wired (940bitrate) with a Quest 3
quest 2 is $200 now, quest 3 is $500...it's a no brainer
Fr im not getting a 500 dollar headset when I can buy a 200 dollar one and pirate all the pcvr titles I want
@@lepsonical4763 Good luck with not getting a pc crushing virus or spyware.😮
I don’t need to buy a £200 headset or £500 because I getting a meta quest 2 for my birthday *saying woo hoo*
The quest 3 is worth it for the lenses it self with the quest 2 when your looking from left to right with your eyes or anywhere that would be a peripheral looking forward gets blury and weird looking the lenses and that extra res bump is amazing being able to see clearly playing games like ghosts tabor or contracts can put you at such bad disadvantage and it just is alot better on the eyes if you get moton sickness playing any fast passed game it causes less disorientation
@@jom7538 so which one should I get because I’m still trying to figure out what to get because this is my first VR headset and I’m not really sure if I should get the newer one or the old one please help me out my options are request 2 or 3 and yes I do plan on using all the features of it, including the mic
I try to use pass through on my quest 3 and it sucks when looking at my phone and computer screen. It's not clear and un usable. Why?
Probably the lighting conditions. It will suffer if the light is poor or in bright light as the camera has to adjust to compensate. Think of it like the TV camera at a sport event, suddenly the bright or low light is there & it has to adjust or if manually it just as a bloomed out or dark grainy image. I would look at the passthrough as a general use feature & not really to be used constanly to do any work, you can on the quest 3 but it isn't going to be an actual solution & you need a good light environment.
Maybe the camera is creating artifacts because it’s looking at another screen
Never mind the comparison between the quest 2, which I already own, I also own the $1500 quest pro; I’d like to know if there are any advantages of the quest 3 over the quest pro that are worth me buying this new model. I must say that the color pass-through of the quest pro is grainy and not that impressive, if this feature is sharper in the quest 3 that alone would make me buy one
Do you think that the standard controllers on the quest 3 are good enough. Or should we upgrade to the quest pro controllers? Here in Australia just the standard quest 3 is 800 or something and the 512 version is 1200 😞 would love some advice on what to do and what quest 3 should I get. Thanks. I’m probably gonna use the wireless thing that lets ya play steam VR games. Cos I have 50 or more VR games on pc cos I used to play Vive on that.
If you get a Quest 2 charging dock from Anker, it might as well have the same wireless charging capabilities.
just got a quest 3, been having a blast so far!
I bought a quest 3 last week. Got it delivered yesterday’s. It wouldn’t update and kept shutting down. Wouldn’t pair to the app. Tech services no help. So now I have to wait for a replacement for who know how long. Glad I spent 650 bucks and there better be a free fn t shirt with the replacement.
And in pcvr (mustly using oculus link cable) the requirements for a PC using quest 3 are more demaning than for a quest 2?
Or if I move decently the quest 2 then quest 3 will be also well usable?
Or in other words, an upgrade from.quest 2 to quest 3 require also any update in the PC harware?
Thanks a lot !!
Just knowing the pass through and lenses are better is worth the upgrade alone. On the quest 2, taking a break and stepping out of your boundary into a blurry gray world is incredibly jarring. Plus as the aforementioned "sweet spot" is just annoying on those smaller lenses. My sweet spot it on the lower part of the lense so I'm either tilting my head up, constantly looking down, or just dealing with a bit of blur. The only times where the blur isn't noticeable is on brighter games like Superhot VR. Like I'm almost speedrunning through the start up and menus to get to a game because the menu is one big blur with a sliver of clearness.
I'm upgrading from an ORIGINAL oculus rift to the Quest 3 and looking forward to the huge upgrade
I have watched a number of your reviews to the point where it has got me excited in using VR again !
I purchased my first VR headset in 2020 when the Quest 2 was first released. I experience heaps of problems in the setup and was so disheartened I just put it back in the box and forgot about it.😢 The enthusiasm for VR and the Quest 2 has returned, and I wish to thank you for that !!! Your inspiration and simplicity of explanation is greatly appreciated and look forward to you next VR related blog. Rgds duffman
Can you give us the link to the swappable battery pack head set for the quest 2
which shoud I buy as a first headset
Nice video, I have one question, I have a mac can I still connect to steam and play halflife alyx?
Got a used Q2 and enjoy the heck out of it when I can. I do want a Q3 and can't wait to save up for one! 20 million Q2's is impressive. I will get a Q3 when I can.
If i run the quest off of my computer can it use its resources to increase resolution or is it just limited to the standard resolution for typical quest installed games.
Like lets say i play beat saber installed on the quest. It runs pretty well. Its resolution is decent.
If i put it on my pc. It will obviously run better but will it look better?
I wear the glasses, I wonder if any VR is accepted with the glasses?
Well, my Quest 2 pretty much just sits there and collects dust now, so is the the Quest 3 better for that? 😉 I think VR has a very long ways to go as far as gaming is concerned. It's good for other things.
I saw an XBox app, if I play a blue ray on the XBox can I watch it thru the googles ?
Thx for the info. I've been using my quest 2 for about a year now. I would like to upgrade, but I think Im gonna wait for a price drop on the quest 3
1: more softer headstrap 2: its more powerful than the quest pro, yes, that's actually true 3: the cameras are RGB.
If you play pc vr game using the quest 2 like I do, then you don't need a quest 3, most if not all quest game's are also available on steam vr and if you have a good gaming pc you can play them with ultra high graphics and performance projected onto the quest 2 so you're getting a way better experience than if you just bought game's off the quest store and played them with a quest 3.
I have the quest one and it’s like the graphics are just not good in thinking about buying a better headset but it’s like I want a really sharp image and idk if I should wait for the next meta quest or just get the quest 3
The quest 3 has a naturally much sharper image than the quest 2 and 1. Plus with its pancake lenses it doesn’t require you to be perfectly centered to see clearly, meaning your peripheral will also be clear and not blurry.
One of the only things that stop me from upgrading from my 2 to a 3 is the lack of charging while using the quest link cable. I also prefer a headset and I haven't seen a speaker setup for the 3,currently I am using the franken quest setup.
The loudspeakers of the Quest3 are much louder than those of the Quest2 and for me good enough to not need an extra headphone or earplugs.
the quest 1 has a good IPD idk why they changed it. its fully adjustable milimeter by milimeter
I dont have a vr headset or like anything but i would rather buy the quest 2 cus i am i bit small and am not rich so ye 😅❤❤❤
Good job on the video it was actually 20 mins which is pretty hard to do ❤❤❤❤🎉
I just bought a Quest 2 because VR is still fairly niche but there are some games I definitely want to check out! So $200 instead of $500 for someone new in the VR space is a freaking steal in my opinion. I really just wanted to do PCVR so bought a link cable and so far so good.
I’m new to vr too is the quest worth it or should I spend the extra £300 for the quest 3? I’m also thinking about doing pc vr, is the quest 2 good for that?
@@mrwillmoiif you want to have a better PCVR experience on a standalone headset the q3 is good for that and even without pcvr it can perform as well as a q2 pcvr, I recommend quest 3 but if money is tight the quest 2 is a great option.
I got one for Christmas last year, very good, I’ve only had a PSVR 1 before (it had like 100 wires) so the quest 2 feels very different
Is there a point in getting the meta 3 with bigger memory is you don't download it to the headset?. I use the meta quest 2 airlink and everything is just saved to my computers drives. So isn't it just better to get the regular one.
I’m replacing my quest 2 bc the controllers now have unbearable stick drift, my games crash a lot, and the battery life is horrible
My answer is definitely QUEST 3!!! Quest 3 has a better faster processor, better lenses, Wider sweet spt, and great graphics qualities, and other items. The Quest 3 costs more, but for me for my first wireless headset and watching many "You Tube" videos, I now own a Quest 3. Right now I have the Quest 3 connected via a link cable to play SIM racing games. Most of my games are sitting down games. The Quest 3 is better than my Rift S and performs the way I expected to do.
The Quest 2 is a good VR headset, but I wanted something more.
Bye!
I'm obsessed with my quest 2 lol and definitely watching this to figure.out if I should buy the 3
Well, don't leave us hanging! If you think you'll get a lot of it, then get it for yourself and let a friend borrow your old one for some sick coop gameplay!
You made me get a VR thank you❤
I bought my rift S over 5 years ago, is it time to upgrade?
It depends on you man. It depends on how much time you spend in VR and if the price you pay for a Quest 3 is worth it to you or not. I personally have never used a Rift S, but I have talked to people that have gone from the Rift S to a Quest 3 and they've said the difference it massive and the Quest 3 is a big step up.
Tbh u might as well get the two beacause you can get a longer battery with some straps that charge while you play and the graphics are fine
I have a Meta Quest 2 and I love it very much! Best VR I've ever had
Take it from a guy who bought the CV1, then the Rift S, then the quest 2...and now the quest 3...this latest puppy is THE biggest upgrade of them all...the LENSES alone makes it worth it.
And the FOV. i just bought a 2nd hand Quest 2 which I am pleased with. However there is no denying that someone who wants better quality overall should go for the better headset available within reason - higher quality headsets are available but the price starts to climb radically & are less versatile as the Quest headsets.
for someone who is wanting to get into vr via meta what do you suggest? getting a quest 2, which at the current moment of me typing this comment most stores are saying meta is no longer making them and sending them out so i would most likely have to buy used; or just save a little longer and buy brand new quest 3?
Wait for the Quest 3s at ~$300 depending on storage level, think it'll release around October ish
Why get Q3 for AR when my 3DS already has that
is this sarcasm
