As a glass's wearer, the pro is a game changer for me. I have prescription lenses in my quest 2 but being able to just put the pro on and off without faffing with my glasses is so much easier. Definitely a luxury as the price is silly expensive, even with the recent price drop.

It has became my main headset as well. Can't beat the edge to edge clarity. The whole lens is practically the sweet spot.

Actually the quest 2 doesn't use the full resolution specified because there's pixels that aren't used because the lenses shift around a single display. Quest pro has individual displays so they always use the full resolution for each eye.

I didn't have a VR headset until just before this last Christmas and got a Quest2 (Resident Evil pack) and loved it - but had some issues with tracking. When the Quest Pro controllers became available I got those and it was such a step up ..... but then a Quest Pro came available to me secondhand. And that was the best tech I think I've ever bought. I think I've used the Q2 maybe twice since having the Quest Pro - and even ended up buying a new desk with a bit more space so that I could do exactly like you, have it there 'always on' and I'll just grab it when I fancy a quick bit of standalone gameplay or just some more immersive youtube. Setting up my desk in VR and paired with the colour passthrough and logitech mx keys keyboard, well I don't think I'm very far away from wanting to work 'inside' the headset - just waiting on the Microsoft Teams (and maybe office) integration

I LOVE my Quest Pro. Absolutely amazing headset. I thought my psvr2 looked good until i hooked the pro up to my pc and Kayak Mirage looks at least two times cleaner / more detailed on the Quest Pro. Love it.

If we could get the Wifi 6e and improved passthrough we were promised, Local dimming in every app and Eye tracked foveated rendering this would probably be the best overall headset out there. It's just frustrating to have all these features that are basically useless right now. I still really like it for it's controllers and image clarity.

Crazy timing. I've been thinking about the pro a lot lately

Objective reviews are always the best 🙂 great job Mysticle!

Noticeable video production quality growth! Really informative review video, and enjoyable to watch too. I'm still waiting for the most comprehensive AR video on KZfaq about productivity with the Quest Pro. :)

Ease of use and accessibility is everything. The pick and play aspect of the quest pro is the reason why I easily come back to it. I've never used an headset as much as the quest pro, just for this reason

I picked up my pro last month and I love it. I find it much more comfortable than my modded quest 2, no more headaches or eye strain, massive sweet spot and the display looks fantastic.

I love my Quest Pro. I use it primarily for wired PCVR as I find the image quality so much better wired than using Virtual Desktop even in Godmode. My previous headsets include a Vive Pro 2 and a Reverb G2 and even having higher resolution per eye and native DisplayPort connectivity they both look like trash compared to a Quest Pro running at 5408 x 2736 with a 4090. I can't even stand to use any fresnel lens headsets now, the Quest 2 especially is unusable now. I don't understand the negativity the Quest Pro got from so many KZfaqrs, for me its the best PCVR experience I've ever had by far and represents the biggest upgrade between headsets I've ever had.

Yes, I am the same way, I paid full price at the beginning (US$1500), but I have not regretted getting one and I cannot go back to my Quest 2 anymore. For the Pro controller, there has been some issue with playing sniper rifle in the VR game such as Onward. However after recent firmware updates for the pro controller, it has been working as good as Quest 2 controller as far as the steadiness. I believe the Quest Pro wifi 6e has not been fully enabled yet but the connection speed to my wifi 6 router is much faster than my Quest 2. My Quest Pro connection is at 1920Mbit/s for both send and receive solid all time with my NetGear Wifi6 router where my Quest 2 is capped at 1200Mbit/s. I set my Virtual Desktop data streaming bit rate at 150Mbit/s max and PC gaming looks so sharp and wonderful!!

Hi. I'm in a similar situation as you - got Quest Pro one month after release at about 2k eur and used it ever since as a main headset (had both Quest & Quest 2 before). I love it for the most part. Can't say I hadn't any issues with it - got the first weird UI hang and had to reboot literally 5 minutes after I booted it up for the first time. It's mostly nice though. I do hope they'll migrate to something other than Android at some point or fix the system software in some way - background service still can crash after long periods of inactivity, it often reboots on its on while charging on a dock - but still, there's a lot of good. Used it daily for some time, stopped using for about a month lately and getting back now. Was hella impressed with the whole "The Worlds Beyond" demo with portals in my living room. A bit disappointed it can't automap my room like iPhone can / pull the data from it via some middleware so that I don't have to do it manually. And disappointed again when I couldn't find much stuff to do with Quest specific features (there's hardly any apps where passthrough actually did something experimental & new, not just replaced often prettier 3D backgrounds) - I guess, we'll have to wait and see (or go and do). But yeah, charging dock is a big thing. And it's thinness & build quality too, ofc. Hadn't noticed much difference in screens tbo - had even tried to compare it side by side with Quest 2. I'm also waiting for some 3rd party mods to appear to make it a bit comfy and looking forward to doing something with PCVR. Have some hard times ironing out the performance for now tho, will get to it at some point. Oh, and VR demo scenes are awesome, even if they are not many of them. And AR videos are starting to appear, those promise to be fun, like holograms, finally.

Nice review! I tried my quest 2 after using the pro for 3 months and noticed a huge difference in comfort, visuals and overall quality. Definitely worth the pro price tag for me😎

Yooo! Great video dude! Keep it up!

It's also funny to brush your teeths and watch youtube with the quest 2 at the same time. I really like the passthrough home function too.

Quest Pro is my main VR headset as well. It does everything the Quest 2 does but has better graphic quality.

LOL. I bought one just to test and then return to Best Buy, but got hooked. Far better than my Q2 and the P4. The visuals are IMO far better than the P4 and the resolution is not that different, due to the LCD design on the QP. What is very different in favor of the QP is the clarity, contrast and color. For $1,500 never would have bought it even to try. Now I don't want to return it.

Great job! I love my Pro as well❤

I have the PSVR2 at the moment and it's incredible, absolutely loving it and can't wait for RE4 VR Mode. But man am I hyped for Quest 3. Twice the power, half the size, pancake lenses, I mean I can't wait!

This review and a couple other ones are the reason I picked up the Quest Pro. Most reviews come from tech tubers with limited time and knowledge about VR headsets. They read from paper specs and frown upon Facebook while praising a competitor device from a company far worse than that... TikTok. The other camp.of reviewers are sim players. These don't care about the fact that not having a cable may be important to some. So, let me tell you my point of view as a VRChat player. I would have never imagined to actually like having these partial light blockers. It's so easy to step in and out of VR. The passthrough - while not groundbreaking - is extremely accurate. I don't need to worry about knocking over my drink or get into the kitchen to get a refill. I really like how there's no gasket pressing against your face as it it the case with pretty much every other headset. And even though it's a halo-style headset it rests very securely on your head. It's comparable to high class bike helmets where the inner ring is hugging your head. I was literally headbanging with the Quest Pro and it wouldn't even budge. Eye and face tracking are already available in VRC thanks to its avid community. It will take me a long time to implement it to my avatar but I'm excited to use it, soon. 90Hz is plenty of refresh rate for most users, given you will need something to the likes of a 3090 Ti to push it on native resolution. Especially in VRChat where it's mostly limited by VRAM. Eye-tracked foveated rendering may improve on this in the future but it will take time to implement it and even then it will only be a 20% improvement, at most. Summing it up, the Quest Pro to me is better than the sum of its parts. It's got decent specs for what it is and I find joy picking it up over the Quest 2.

Thanks for this, I am exactly in the same boat, mostly using it for PCVR. I don't feel like I could ever go back to the Quest 2.

Recently bought one new for £600, and at that price, there's a lot to love. The open sides surprised me most - I thought light leak would be maddening, but the display is bright and you just tune out the surroundings. You end up appreciating the awareness of the room, obstacles and beverages around you. :)

Excellent review!

I bought it the second that the price dropped And I'll be honest I feel kind of silly for not buying it before This thing is amazing it reignited my love for vr These lenses Are just nuts

I've watched so many of you videos, how was i not subscribed, might be bcz i watch on tv or something anyway keep it up, you're by now my favorite vr KZfaqr

You've progressed so much since I last saw you!

Absolutely agree. I find the Quest Pro a game changer for me, especially for PCVR. Going back to the Quest 2 or Pico Neo 3 link (even with the DP cable) is like going back to a Nokia 3310 after having a top of line Samsung phone.

Great review.

Great rewiew. Thank You for that! (:

Love my pro. Link is perfect for sim racing and DCS. I use official link cable and you don't even feel it. The latency is s lot lower than quest2. 40-high 50. Like you say, it works every time I put it on. Coming from reverb g2 WMR software, its a dream to use.

Just picked mine up today. Definitely need some work on the comfort aspect of it, but it's display is such a big stepup from my quest 2. I've got a couple things I'm trying to get a better fit, then should hopefully be off to the races with it!

Just got a Quest Pro, and I have to say it is the best headset I’ve ever had. It is just amazing how much VR have advanced since the first Oculus Rift. (I still have one!)

Definitely thinking about buying the Quest Pro as I would definitely like face and eye tracking, but by the time it's in my budget to buy a Pro, the Quest 3 may be available at which point I'd obviously reconsider. EDIT: I've always heard Pico 4 isn't available in the US, but it seems you can get them for around $450 at various places online. Might jump for that instead because of how much cheaper it is.

Love my Quest Pro, so much better then the Quest 2. Lenses and picture clarity is so much better. I was surprised to find I do not need the full light blocker. The side blockers work fine and having a little open space at the bottom is nice. Kind of gives a more FOV feeling and allows air to circulate on your face. I sewed an elastic strap vertically across the top and it made the headset very comfortable. Far more then the Quest 2. I also like that it is Black and looks very nice compared to the ugly cheap looking white finish on the Quest 2.

Same for me, Q2, G2 out to pasture. Like quickly moving between AR VR PC and standalone. Hey Meta we want that 6e.

Snagged one when it became 1000. It's on another level when you use it in vrchat with it's facial features. The only set back is you need to run another runtime to get face tracking to work with vrchat for now. Hopefully they add a native feature in the future.

mystile thanks for the minecraft vr turtorial :)

the pancake lenses completely won me over, for the head strap theres a solution out there i found for 15 bucks that fixes the forehead issue (i have no more head pain)

What I did was place something low on the floor that does'nt move easily and keep my calves backed up to it. works great for keeping your place in the room

At least you didnt totally rag on it.. like other reviewers, your review was actually fair. I bought 1 about 6 hours ago. 😅

Thank you for saying something about glasses, I have been looking for someone to say something about them.

love your videos!

I love these videos no matter what!

With the price drop, I’m tempted, but with the Quest 3 around the corner with definitely a better processor & potentially better pass through i’m pretty sure I’ll regret it.

Any plans to review the Vive XR elite? Can't wait for mine to arrive, the form factor, diopter, and no ties to Facebook sounds amazing.

I think that a review of headset without focusing on the specs so much should be seen more on youtube... great video btw :)

Ayo what chair do you use in the vid? It looks pretty nice, also I enjoyed that you were playing the forest in the vid

Oh yeah. Ease of Use is super important. I don't want to be spending 20 minutes before and after use just to charge the thing or go through menus. Thanks for your videos. I'm starting to wonder if the headsets have any custom operating system or home brew stuff that could make them more appealing for me.

Agreed, love my Pro…even sold my Aero and just use the Pro for wireless PCVR. You really need a decent GPU (3080 or better) to really see what the Pro hardware can do. The stand alone experience is a bit of a let down in comparison but the PCVR wows with the clarity. Also agree I have found I can be fully immersed in VR even with no light blockers at all…this is how I play 100% of the time now which was unexpected!

VIDEO IDEA: see if you can get a hold of one of the chromebooks that support Steam through developer mode and see if you can run steamVR or basic games like Beatsaber, would be pretty interesting.

I was surprised as well, you really don’t need the light blockers in most cases

My Pico 4 has worked flawlessly for almost three months now. No fuss at all to start using it. To play PCVR I just turn on the PC, turn on the Pico and start the VD-app in the Pico and I'm ready to start any game. I have a BoboVR battery so charging and battery swap is super easy. The AMVR facial interface made them super comfortable and I can have them on for hours if I want to without issue. I recommend this. Game changer! I don't store my headset on my desk but hang them on the wall on a curved wall mount with the front up and lenses covered by the mount to protect the lenses from dust and accidental contact with anything.

It’s my main device too. I smile every time I pick it up. However I quickly get pissed off when I realize I still haven’t gotten version 50…..

I do wish my head set had Color Pass through. I have found actually liking the hand tracking on Quest 2 a bit more.

The rotated displays have a higher active pixel count than the quest 2. The oval images fit better in the sideways square shape increasing the viewable resolution. Plus since it uses 2 displays their is no image cutoff on the sides when using a higher ipd. I found the FOV is definitely noticeable the viewing area is more fuller. The light blocker works well and comfortable and easy clean. I dislike the fact there is no proper designated mounting point for perscription lenses. The ones I got kinda dig into the rubber around the outside of the lens area. Would of preferred a prescription lens system that has the lenses directly onto of the HMD lenes in the gap from the lens to the top of the rubber portion of the lens area. Think I'm going to try and use some velcro straps and try to rig up a top headstrap to reduce the weight on my forehead. That was definitely an oversight on their part. The back head pad definitely needed some rotation adjustment cause only a small portion touches my head, but i havn't had any discomfort so far. I keep getting visual glitches on the right eye where it flickers sometimes while in OS menu and 3D area and also in OS menu and 3D area the right eye is notably dark at the top portion, on the lord of the rings home area for some reason. Might just be my headset. Looks and works fine in-game though. The camera controllers are awesome, I can can now draw / quickdraw pistols, mags and other out of sight objects way easier. Throwing objects is way easier and accurate. And the rubber grip handstrap accessory for my quest 2 fits well and tight. Also did you notice the Oculus Easter egg??? Take a look at the charging brick. Not sure sure if it was intended or not. Meta really should give store credit to people who bought the headset and have it setup on their account before the price change. Then they will feel more justified in buying the quest pro. Prefably for the amount of the price difference. And as far as face tracking goes, there are more things than just social apps that can use these features. Example opening of the mouth activates an action. Like bobbing for apples, or turn on a headlamp flashlight. Or to help the system identify when your speaking for voice recognition at lower voice volumes. Moving the lips left and right to act like a D-pad. Opening the mouth on walking dead to make the character shout to gain the zombies attention. Smile or stick out tongue to take a screenshot or start a video recording. Winking one eye to direct an npc. Another thing that can be done with the headset is use it as a color 3D room scanner. I'm sure the augmentation will pick up even though it looks like I'm watching a 1960 color film. Though maybe increasing the saturation would make it look more fuller. Anything beyond arms reach doesn't gray out. I'm sure things within arms reach can be colorized eventually. I'm surprised they used my suggestion on the color stiching. 😁

I don't think I've seen this but looks like tapping Pro Controllers together, like dbl tapping side of headset, switches between hand and controller tracking.

Im waiting right now for the quest 3. Probably gonna gift it to myself on christmas haha.

Quest Pro replaced my old Rift Cv1, my quest 2 AND my PSVR2 in one HMD . It's just the best to actually USE imo. Love the lenses, comfort, clarity and controllers. Easy to put on and needs zero adustment.

I have the full blocker its a pain they didn't think of sizing it for the dock. But that said I sometimes like that open bottom easy to glance out to the real world to check a phone take a drink etc.

Would be cool if you compared games on both pro and q2. Especially pop one.

We can find the specs from other places thank you for sharing your experience

It's my go to Headset too but the XR Elite comes out this week

I'd love one, but I'm waiting until the quest 3 comes out, then we will see how much on balance whether or not to get the quest3 or the pro

I bought pro controllers for my Q2 and i'm super happy with them. I think they're game changer for people who don't want to deal with base stations. Would love to try Pro headset itself, but yeah price is too much for now especially with Q3 and some other headsets coming out in near future.

This guy is making the quest pro look like an actual good headset.🥶😩

Sadly I returned my quest pro... but it was so convenient and quick to use it was amazing...

I'm waiting on the quest 3, but I might still consider this.

I did buy one after the price drop and I must say that I'm very happy with it. For Me the biggest part of it was the Eye tracking the face, tracking the better cameras and the ability to work in VR all day. The quest three might meet my use case but it appears from the images I've seen of the quest three so far that it's going to be front heavy like the quest two was and that is something that is a no go for me.

I wore sunglasses with mine just to try it out, forgot I had them on it felt so well.

When you are doing PCVR with virtual desktop, how are the frames and input lag? Do you experience any lag at all or stutters while wireless? I am going with the pico4 and will try to pcvr through VD

I got the new Vive on preorder. Releases on the 28th of this month on amazon.

You mentioned about VRChat support, they are only supporting eye tracking not face tracking right?

hopefully one day you can review the pico 4 pro

Hey do you know of the Exit Suit yet? It's a VR immersion exoskeleton

The amount of update meta releases is crazy.Why I've been a meta user..Support and improvements is key 🔑

Your thoughts are my sentiments exactly!!! It’s the smaller details. Quest pro may not have the best or high res panels by my goodness do they have the best lenses by far of any headset. Meta really put in a lot of money to research lens technology and invest in lens companies.

I think I will go for the quest pro, after the Quest 3 is out. So, later in the year. By then there should be some available in the used market too, perhaps

May i ask how in the world you got the forest VR running at a stable performance?

I like my Reverb G2, and don't plan on changing that.

I have a question for you... do you find VD on the Pro ok? Because from when I start using this I do prefer way more airlink... it looks like VD is not very optimized for it (I am on the Discord QP channel and other ppl have problem with VD). about the top strap I can absolutely recommend the StudioForm strap, it push the level of comfort in a completely new level without loosing the way to wear it that is kind of important for me as well

Quest Pro Is amazing to use. Indeed the Only gripe I have is that its Comfort is not great for prolonged sessions. However like yourself I have really enjoyed the Open front fo the pro. I don't use the light blockers and I have no plans to get the facial interface. I really like still being connected to the room I'm in from checking your phone to vaping to grabbing a drink. All easy to do with out taking the HMD off or even activating a passthrough. I will still be getting the Q3 but ill be really sad to go back to a skimask style HMD I think HMDS doing forward should give you the option like the pro of how "Enclosed" you want to be. Also the controllers are amazing. Yes they can have a "wake up" time but they just work flawlessly. All the issues with IR tracked controllers are gone like aiming down sights or reaching behind etc "Though some games like the walking dead that have over the shoulder actually like to activate from the front on the pro. I keep going for my flashlight and get the backpack for example." I do hope that Future headsets will have pro like controllers or that I can Move my Pro controllers with me with future HMDS do not want to go back to IR tracked controllers.

Seems like you play PCVR with the Quest Pro wireless. Do you use any router or wifi repeater which you can recommend? My wifi quality isnt as good in my office room at all. But i play pc gaming with a lan connection so i could add an repeater/router directly there.

Isn't the light bleed a deal breaker? The full cover still let some light in and the mere fact that you have to remove it to charge in the dock is really a hassle.

What are your pc stats . You ran forest vr nicely

Could you show us your settings on virtual desktop? You're as look really crisp.

i can't wait for eye and face tracking to work with VD. the comfort could be better but i'm pretty good and i use it all day as my main display for work and after for games and entertainment. so between 8 and 13 hours a day.

ive been testing with the Quest Pro aswell since they was kind enough to send me it freely but the tracking from the controllers is very bad and the headset itself is just ok and still needs work, oculus devs are hoping to fix the controller's in V51 and up.

Got my Quest Pro for $899 no sales tax where I live.. Its become my main PCVR hmd. The Panels yeah are not as high res but the lenses are amazing.

I know the quest 3 is round the corner, but I just bought one for £570. at that price point, the controllers alone won me over (alongside other things like face tracking and eye tracking)

the discounted price is an easier pill to swallow and if it had been at this price at launch, I probably would have got one. I may get one now at some point in the future but not now. My next one I'm buying is the HTC Vive XR Elite. I have mixed fillings about the paper specs of that thing but I want to get my heads on one and confirm my thoughts one way or another.

I need to know, the controller battery life... how do you all get around the battery life of the controllers?

Please do an update on the state of the Pico 4 standalone now its had a few updates? Thanks. :)

One thing to consider too is that the quest 3 will not have mini LED displays with local dimming, Standard LCD displays are no longer acceptable to me in a new VR headset.

5:20 when u rubbed the glass it caused me physical and mental pain

I'm fine with the Pico 3 Link. Also still use my OG Quest for its games and to let it not go to waste for no reason as it's still fine as PCVR headset. Can't deny tho that the features the Pro comes me make me drool.

No I'm not thinking of buying one. I was thinking of buying the controllers, but that was before I fixed the issue I had with my left controller of my Quest2. Nowadays I use the Quest2 mostly for Holofit and Beatsaber. I run on my elliptical nearly every day and all I need to do is pick up my headset and pick the program by handtracking. I don't use my controllers very much anymore, unless I want to play beatsaber. My Pico4 is the headset that I use mainly for gaming and I think it is a fantastic device. I bought a new facemask that let's me play without feeling it too much (from AMVR) and since I have new straps on the controllers they sit good in my hands. I'm waiting for the Quest 3 to come onto the market. That might be a game-changer. But other than that, this was a nice refreshing video about the Quest Pro!

The quest 3 is what i am ready for.

Do you think the quest pro would ever go below $1k retail price? Should i wait or grab it right now? One thing I like about the quest pro over the PSVR2 is it has pancake lenses. I wait resetting the PSVR2 & quest 2 to be dead center to see the best quality.
