I tried my friend quest 2 and pico 4. Pico 4 lenses look much better, and the out of the box strap+the balanced weight give superior experience.

I love my Pico 4. I've had it since launch. Sitting on about 70 games.

I wasn't sure about the Pico 4 as I already had a Meta Quest 2 but about a month ago I decided to take the plunge and buy one, hey I'm so glad I did as it's leaps and bounds better than my Quest 2 so much so I ended up selling it. The one thing I regret knowing what I know now is that I should of made the switch to Pico 4 sooner! Anyone on the fence and not sure don't be you won't be dissapointed 👍 Oh your light issue maybe as you say your face shape as I've had no light coming through at all complete darkness, you can also get a small adaptor for a headset only cost £3 - $4 Ebay

I'm new to exploring VR gaming so pardon my ignorant questions. If it's connected to a PC for PCVR gaming, can I still use my PC speakers for the sound output instead of the speakers on the headset? Or will I be hearing audio output from both the headset and my speakers? And also, I've heard about having to sign up for an account or something when using those Meta VR headsets. Does this require an account? If it does, is an account absolutely necessary for PCVR gaming, especially for flight and racing sims?

Funny thing, I bought first PSVR2 and been so excited, but when I put them on and play couple minutes I have so bad motion sickness, tough so cos I newer have any experience with VR that's why and need more time to get used to, but after 5 months still have very bad motion sickness, anyway long story short, I'll try all triks and tips can find on KZfaq how to get sharp image on psvr2 and not to get sick, none of them helps to me, so i put on sell my psvr2, but my wife really enjoy to do exercise on game call Les Mills Bodycombat, tough its to expensive have my psvr2 for this game only so i bought pico 4 and you know what i do not have any motion sickness and can play games for hours, for me its even picture quality much much better then PlayStation, only blacks on psvr2 better, hope for you psvr2 works, but this not for everyone ohh and forget mention pico 4 its 100 times more comfortable to wear, hope i help little bit for you to decide.

@kaycke5073 9 ай бұрын

It's just my first week into Pico 4, i am a Quest user, but the pico system has so much FREEDOM. I can finally use discord without headashes. The extra ram makes a lot of difference. Besides the weaker library of games and apps, i really think that the Pico 4 is a way best option if you want a VR headset. Definelly not a Master upgrade if you are coming from Quest 2, but for sure a best hardware.

Any devices with removable batteries is a big plus for me, I use rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, I have a bunch of them fully charged. Whenever needed you do a quick swap instead of waiting for them to charge, and there are no worries of an internal battery that is difficult to replace when it breaks down.

VR is fantastic! One thing I always tell people before they pull the trigger on any VR is to do research on what they want out of their headset and what experiences they want to get out of it. I'm not sure how the Pico marketplace looks, but hopefully its comparable to the Meta Quest store and the application selection is decent. Thanks for your insight from your time using it!

@freddy9646 4 ай бұрын

Ive tried both and gotta say if i had to pick one itd be the quest 3

@wettoast8058 4 ай бұрын

@The.Jedi.Wizard I think the price is worth it (go for the 500g version) as you have the support of meta behind it and almost every dev will go to the meta store before anywhere else. As for comfort its better than the 2 but still needs some help nothing a 3rd party item can't fix. I have the elite strap with a battery pack and you need it, or atleast a 3rd party battery pack will do the trick. Compared to the pico 4 I dunno I've never had one on. Plus you can always use rookie for "free games " on quest ;), if you're worried about the cost of games after buying the headset. Overall with the current state of both pico and quest I think quest is your better option. It's just Overall more supported and has a bigger library of games to play with. I don't know if pico can do pcvr but that's a big plus for quest imo.

@RaageShaikh 4 ай бұрын

The pico 4 imo is better than the quest 2 because of the weight balance not being more on your forehead and the way the strap and lenses fit on my face and head feels much better than the quest 2

I just want a vr headset capable of watching vr movies while not having a fucking facebook account. Is is good for that?

@DrVagax 10 ай бұрын

I liked the headset for its features but in some ways it is simply the better option because it had the advantage of being a new headset vs a 2 year old headset and VR tech moves pretty quickly. The Pico 4 is 430 euro and the Quest 2 is 300 euro which makes the Pico 4 a bit more of a tough sell, I also prefer the more fine tuned software of the Quest 2 but for pure PCVR the Pico 4 is the better one, but is it worth the 130 euro extra? Not sure, especially with the Quest 3 approaching.

Rewatch your video and start counting how many times you touch your glasses, and don't include the times you touch them when you actually are mentioning your glasses. I'll bet you did not realize you are doing it that much in the span of 16 minutes ;-) Just watched a video with Norm from Tested and he has the same tic.
