Quest 2 VS Quest 3 - What's the Difference???

If you appreciate the work I do here on the channel and would like to help me create more content like this, Super Thanks is a great way to help out. It allows me to purchase the products and supplies I need; making these videos possible. Thank you! :-D
When it comes to Virtual Reality Meta's Quest headsets are by far the most popular devices on the market today thanks to their compelling experiences, ease of use and affordable pricing. The Quest 2 is currently the most widely used virtual reality device in the world, but Meta recently launched it's successor, the Quest 3. Now when it comes to technology, we all know the newer version of a product is typically the better product, but the Quest 3 sells for twice as much as the Quest 2 and those that have used a Quest 2 know it actually offers a pretty impressive virtual and mixed reality experience. So naturally the question arises whether or not the Quest 3 is a big enough step up to make it worth paying twice as much for? Since the Quest 3 launched in October of 2023 I've been using it and have found the most notable differences between it and it's predecessor. In this video I cover everything from the physical differences between both headsets to media consumption (yes, you can watch movies and TV shows on the Quest 2 and Quest 3 on GIANT virtual screens), to the weight of each headset, to the difference in the lenses, the controllers, the battery life, the display tech, the processors powering each headset and using them for PC VR. For anyone that is considering buying a Quest 3, whether you're thinking about upgrading from the Quest 2 or looking to purchase your first VR headset, this video will give you the best comparison you can find online to help you decide whether Meta's latest and greatest headset is worth your hard earned money, or if the Quest 2 is the better choice for you. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.

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 KZbinrs. 👍

[@JJSOFLO]

Liked this video very much bro, subbed! Great work, thorough and efficient in your giving of the necessary information. Thanks!!

[@johnfenwick8959]

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

[@thruckbrb2405]

Lol same 😂

[@prestenbogosavljevic4759]

Is it a big upgrade?

[@J0ermungand]

@@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.

[@dtz1000]

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.

[@copingflower1909]

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

[@stulawson]

This is an excellent comparison vid + buyer guide, thank you =)

[@lgracie33]

This video is amazing, thank you Maraksot78, it so helped me make my mind up to go for the 3. You answered the question I had asked, in so many different ways on KZbin but never got a straight answer. Will all my games just transfer over automatically to the 3. And yes, you said, they will. Great 👍

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

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!

[@Maraksot78]

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.

[@jinxed13]

@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.

[@Maraksot78]

@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. 😁

[@alexgoriatchenkov]

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 KZbin VR visual quality exceed my expectations.

[@GoldSrc_]

Apple's headset is not aimed at gamers, it's mostly a "productivity tool" for Apple.

[@starksidegaming5663]

Nice video bro love the facts you bring

[@BlakeCDMedia]

As an editor, I caught the stabilization done in the pass through demo. Just wanted to feel cool by noticing it. Good video 🍻

[@Maraksot78]

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. 😅

[@masofdas]

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

[@jenniferanntheninja6103]

Thanks! Watched it all!

[@SjaakSchulteis]

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]

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!

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@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.

[@nonegone7170]

@@PetKingdom-wl8me The 2 warps just as much if not more than the 3, you just notice it a lot less in black & white.

[@matKilla9801]

@@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]

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.

[@Spoodily]

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.

[@matKilla9801]

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.

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.

[@gadafthegreat]

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.

[@mrwillmoi]

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?

[@PugTato-]

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.

[@M0ToR]

great review

[@electrosquirrel]

one thing to actually take note of is that it seems the ipd sliders on the quest 2 ARE designed to be able to go between settings, as the in headset software will consistently tell you the distance you have set between the lenses.

[@FYWinBangkok]

Great video thx

[@cv3nda367]

I wonder if the microphone pop problem can be solved by dissassembling the Q3 and putting something over the mic, like a pop filter

Do you have dark edges of the lenses? It's get much darker than the center of the lens. I don't have this effect on quest 2.

[@MooshPaw]

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)

[@chan13153]

@@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

[@gtamediaproductions1]

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?

[@triax7006]

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.

[@dennisphillips9089]

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.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

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.

How is it? What day is that on us on my meta-quest, two to my aunt and uncle

[@cpfpv6410]

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.

[@AJ-po6up]

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.

[@dtz1000]

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.

[@MegaDrainProductions]

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.

[@jonfitton3021]

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.

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!

[@MoonstoneVR13]

I feel like I should upgrade because my sister always wants to play beat saber, but she has to come into my room and play it on my quest 2. And for the games that I want to play, I feel like I need the better processing power

[@Propulsion4]

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

[@Vr_lover69]

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 ❤❤❤❤🎉

[@batman_justice_for_gotham]

I'm buying quest 3 this summer!

[@user-dx4bp8vp5m]

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

[@BB-fh2oc]

I have the Meta Quest 3. The 512 GB version. The only thing I don't like about it is they do not allow you to delete images or videos or data from the cloud or the app on on your phone. They only allow you to delete these images from the head unit itself. Which makes me wonder why are they not allowing you to delete from the cloud what are they doing with all this information that they refused to let you delete be careful what you download

[@serolog]

Very interesting. Having a certain degree of autonomy is a deal breaker for me

[@ashd5737]

This is just an educated guess but still a guess I would assume that they would keep that data as a form of consumer feedback it doesn't really matter what you do on your VR they probably see some very weird stuff from Facebook what people search and use the VR for would not surprise anybody working for Zuckerberg 😂💯

[@Saltshaker2016]

Never used one of these before. My wife and I are not serious gamers, really just looking for an add on for our rowing machine. What thoughts do you have on the GB difference?

[@zackluce2400]

Games are so small that you should just get the smallest gb option. I have the 64gb quest 2 and only have 48gb used with over 30 games

[@JB-bm1to]

​@zackluce2400 this is what I wanted to know. I am deciding on one for my 12 year old daughter and didn't know how much the gigs mattererd.

[@pigpig252]

I'm upgrading from an ORIGINAL oculus rift to the Quest 3 and looking forward to the huge upgrade

[@dailyvideogamefacts1]

Would love to get the same starp you use for your quest 2 (the one with the hot swappable battery pack) what one do you use?

[@Maraksot78]

The one I have is from BinBok VR for the Quest 2. Here's a link to it on Amazon if you'd like to take a look at it. amzn.to/3xelNgE Full disclosure; I am an Amazon Affiliate so if you end up using this link my channel does earn a little bit of money. The price of the item doesn't change, however Amazon pays me a small commission for sending business their way. The money I earn however is very helpful, as I use it to purchase new products and other equipment to help me continue making content like this on KZbin. So by using my link you're helping the channel, which I am very grateful for. Thanks. :D

[@dillane3837]

See there you go. There’s a problem right there for nets what happened to use the Meta Quest to?

[@jaysoegaard]

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]

Are watching movies really better on 3 over 2 ?!

[@jaysoegaard]

@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

[@cn9296]

@@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.

[@jaysoegaard]

@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 ..

[@333_Tarot]

what is must buy 1st upgrade you need to do on 3 ? the new headstrap or what is it called? thx

[@RIDDIM_GOBLIN]

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

[@philsymes2247]

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.

[@user-nm9uk6jp3v]

Sou do Brasil , estou satisfeito com meu Quest 2. , adorei o Quest 2. 👍😀👍❤🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Charlie172_VR]

My first VR headset was a quest 3

[@brandonboudreau8735]

Which one has a more noticeable screen door effect?

[@dtz1000]

Quest 2 for sure.

[@Darkstar0318]

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

[@codyholbrooks4875]

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.

[@that1akwardguy]

@@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

[@dtz1000]

@@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.
