Meta Quest Pro Review! Overpriced But…

There's much to like about the Meta Quest Pro but also a lot to dislike. This video tells you all you need to know!
► Check out Meta Quest 2 on Best Buy for great deals: howl.me/ci9vfa50jVX (affiliate)
The Quest Pro is supposed to transform the way we work, but it's still a work in progress, and judging from Meta's site or trailers, that might not be obvious, so I'll try to clarify that today.

[@MoietyVR]

I am loving mine, especially for PCVR. I am really looking forward to some third party add-ons. Specifically I want full light blocking and some better knuckle grips. I am already using a BOBOVR battery, top headstrap and DESTEK knuckle grips.

[@GizmoMaltese]

I wanted more on productivity since that's the stated purpose. I have a nice multi screen desktop setup and I don't expect the quest pro to replace it. What I was hoping is that I can use it when I'm away from my desk. I hate laptop tiny screens.

[@heatherperkins9737]

Great review, as always. Interested in this new headset and developments inVR tech it represents - but at $1,500US won’t buy it, at least not any time soon. Quest 2 does what I need it to, and is fine for me, at least for now.

[@aarondaniels8428]

Can you view your personal photos on this vr headset?

[@ZTNET]

I'm thinking siriusly to return mine back... Thanks for the review

[@Art-Sin]

Had the Quest pro for over a week now and it's surprised me on how good it is. Not only for apps, XR but for gaming and PCVR gaming. It's now my daily driver to think this will only get better with updates is very exciting indeed:)

[@deathorb]

BBut have you ever used a pimax 5k or 8k? How about a top notch index? Or is the quest pro your best ever headset due to previous headsets being vastly inferior?

[@Art-Sin]

@@deathorb i've owned/own most headsets, DK2, CV1, Rift S, Index, Quest 2, G2, 8Kx, Pico 4 and now QP. I think the combo of seamless Oculus /Meta software and library, Comfort, best in class Controllers, decent Passthrough and ridiculously clear optics and lenses make the pro such a great all round VR device. It's expensive but compared to other high end hmd's that still don't have anyway near the features or hardware, ie the Varjo Aero the pro seems better value.

[@deathorb]

@@Art-Sin oh ok - i thought the fov was the biggest game changer for me - pimax unfutunately are the only choice atm imo

[@BenCheal-vl1us]

@@Art-Sin I echo your comments. I have owned index, Q2, G2, 8KX, and QP. G2 has a tiny sweet spot, 8kx is a fun headset but the annoying software and sometimes tracking issues are lame. Quest Pro is great you can actually read the text for work and gaming is a lot of fun standalone or PCVR the clarity is insane.

[@bit-studios1]

As a VR game developer on the Unreal Engine 5, I am definitely going to buy this headset. This is the type of hardware needed to develop next-gen applications for the metaverse. Excellent review!!! I believe Meta is definitely going to make those improvements that you suggested and VR developers like myself are definitely going to take advantage of this hardware to develop next-gen VR experiences. ☺️🎮🙌🏿

[@Snaphoo]

You should just get a Lynx R1 instead. Meta only created this to get the media to credit them with Lynx's innovations. Its standalone (Cas and Chary have a video on it) but if you already have a PC VR set up, it'll be perfect for you. About thousand dollars less then Quest Pro.

[@bit-studios1]

@@Snaphoo The Lynx does not have SDK for the Unreal Engine. They just have it for Unity. I know that they do support OpenXR but they need to support the Unreal Engine with a SDK if they want us to start development on their hardware.

[@neilrisley6667]

@@Snaphoo where have you seen the Lynx R1 for $500??? The Quest Pro is on a totally higher level than the Lynx R1 imo

[@Snaphoo]

@@bit-studios1 Unreal on Lynx is on the way. Should be ready in a couple months, they have said

[@Snaphoo]

@@neilrisley6667 As hardware? No, thats just a facade, unless all you care about is face/eye tracking (not something I would want to waste money on). The Lynx color passthrough is already confirmed to be much higher quality than Quest Pro. Much better handtracking, comfort, and battery life too. And yeah, last year the first pre-order price was $499, and they were up for grabs at that price for month. Then it spent almost a year at still only $599.

[@nuprophett]

I think because my expectations were so low, the color passthrough was a pleasant surprise for me. It’s much better than the Quest 2, and is enough for me to see the magic of mixed reality. I laughed out loud (in delight) the first time I tried it at home, and still really enjoy it using the mixed reality passthrough after weeks of owning it. It reminds me of robocop vision 😂

[@trumplostlol3007]

The color passthrough sucks. It has a ton of distortion. It is not like you are actually looking at some real objects. Only suckers will buy this piece of crap at $1500. $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500 $1500

[@KobraVR]

Great review! I noticed a quite serious issue with Quest Pro controllers for VR shooters, need to experiment and will post video soon with results!

[@davebell771]

Really balanced review. Having owned it since launch I am generally very pleased with it. I am really hoping that eye tracking foveated rendering comes to more games/apps and PC.

[@marklola12]

It won't with games because this headset is not aimed at gamers why not many will get it or afford it anyway so Devs won't bother adding it to their games....no reason too

[@simpl3lang]

@@marklola12 they will because the future more and more devices will be utilizing eye tracking.

[@BenCheal-vl1us]

@@marklola12 uhh yeah PSVR2 has eye tracking with foveated rendering so try again that devs wont utilize it

[@dtrjones]

Hi Cas, beautiful review as always. Loved how Chary was filming you outside. Just a reminder on the chromatic aberration, my G2 suffered really bad on this on launch and with several updates, they managed to more or less eliminate it entirely. So I'm positive this can be 'fixed' in the software. In fact, a great many things can be addressed in the software, as I believe for example there's more resolution available to the passthrough cameras and streaming will improve with the introduction of Wifi 6E. It's a desirable headset for its features and one I'm looking forward to revisiting in 6 months' time although Meta may have made a mistake here once they've addressed many of the issues there may well be something better coming along...

[@IPOXstudios]

I’ve seen every review I can and this is the best one so far! Thanks! I like how you show the in-public uses. Would love to see some more real world uses like using it in a coffee shop with immerse and other apps/games, what keyboard you use, public reactions, etc. that would be fun to watch! Thanks again😄

[@CasandChary]

I appreciate it as I worked hard on this one so thank you so much ❤️❤️! And I love these ideas, the thought actually struck my mind too. Maybe I'll do it 🤔

[@xavierc5516]

I'm curious, are you interested in people's reaction when using something like Immersed in public or how the individual using the headset manages the public perception? Just about everyday I think about taking my headset to work in a coffee shop, just to get out of the house, but am afraid of what people will think.

[@IPOXstudios]

@@xavierc5516 both. If I saw someone using it in public I would think it was cool, but mostly because I can appreciate the technology. I don’t know immersed very well and it didn’t work with my MacBook keyboard, so I’m curious how someone uses it in public. I’m getting mine in a few days and plan on going to the park to game a little and maybe test movies and mixed reality. Coffee shop is on my list too!😄

[@K11...]

I have a G2. Is the quest pro a better headset for pcvr? Main focus is flight/racing sims.

[@bluebell1]

That was a fantastic honest review! I think Meta put this out to work out the bugs and to try and make some money. I’m sure once they update the firmware it will be better. I won’t be purchasing one because it’s just too steep for me now. I’ll wait to see what the Quest 3 is like. I’m also open to other headsets. BTW you and Chary were awesome in Among Us! I watched GT’s livestream and you two acted all innocent! 😂

[@Blessed372]

A friend of mine has the quest pro and uses it for architecture work with the arkio app. She says its been a game changer for her.

[@jamesoloughlin]

Does the headset fit properly in the Incase Carrying case? Specifically on the top? I’m considering getting it.

[@mlevr]

I really enjoy my Quest Pro. I applaud Meta for pushing their vision for VR through this device. It’s a good step in the right direction. I do wish that there was more positive talk about the Quest Pro. I can only find few KZbinrs that share my and most of the regular consumer thoughts about this headset. Sure, the cost seems high, but after watching the breakdown of the Quest Pro and really thinking about what we’re getting in a standalone device and controllers, I feel the cost is reasonable and obtainable for consumers that wants to experience what we have now and what’s to come with updates on this device. I love watching your videos and keep up the good work!!!

[@tubztergaming5700]

What do you think of the price drop?

[@ikefrazier259]

I got a Kiwi 2.5 inch black strap that fits perfectly and looks like it was made for the pro. I was going to send my pro back but after I tried the strap it made it fit perfect with no pressure on my forehead like before.

[@tekman2000]

VERY in-depth and through review of the Quest Pro, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you guys for taking the time to make this video review. As a total gamer the Quest Pro doesn’t seem like it has enough hardware improvements to make it worth buying at this time especially with a $1,500 price tag. Anyway, you guys rock… when ever I need VR information I always check out Cas and Chary 😀

[@A_Small_Game_Cat]

How is the controller tracking outside compared to the Quest 2? Thanks

[@neilrisley6667]

Thank you for the video Cas 😊 Do you get to keep the Quest Pro & if not...Will you be buying one?

[@luckylanno]

I wish people would try vSpatial at least alongside Immersed. It has an app focusing feature that allows for text scaling, which is a lot more realistic for the current state of VR hardware.

[@alphadarling]

Turn super sampling to 0 in t(e immersed app the get rid of the blurry text. Immersed work very well on my MacBook Air 💻

[@Maebbie]

try putting a strap from left to right instead of front to back. Very comfortable and a velcro strap runs you for like 5 bucks.

[@johnmcmurphy1007]

Hello and thank you for another great Video! Just a Question: is it possible to play existing Quest games with this Headset? 🤔

[@Eekary2]

Yes, you could see Cas playing Beat Saber in the video.

[@AdrianMeredith]

My main question is will the quest 3 come without controllers (as an option)? I want to get the controllers but don't want to pay for duplicates in the future!

[@waleedsharif618]

Any idea when first software update could come to Quest pro ?

[@ZardozXerxes]

Off topic but what do you think of the recently announced PSVR2 headset pricing?

[@Meow_midnight]

Congrats on 700 vids!

[@mapledan1130]

Thanks for the great review Cas! I have bought the Quest Pro few weeks ago and for sure it is pricey and not perfect but I found it is an improvement for me on comfort, screen clarity, sound, controllers, and mixed reality experience over the Quest 2. It has been great so far games and entertainment: archery games like In Death Unchained play better, mixed environment for game like DEMEO are fun and re-watching Lord of the Rings in Amazon Video VR was close to the real theater experience. As you said though, the upcoming Quest 3 and other headsets will likely get many of these improvements.

[@jaysoegaard]

How is your prime video movie experience...How much better in percentage?

[@broimnotyourbro]

Great review as always! Consistently one of the best VR/AR channels. After a few hours of Red Matter 2, I can’t believe they were able to get those visuals out of a mobile GPU. Foveated rendering makes a real difference. Not worth $1500, but if (like me) you have more money than sense, it’s a great device. Meta’s software needs some work, though. Feels rushed. My theory is that the rumored cutting of the depth sensor forced them to scramble and they didn’t have time to polish. Optics are amazing, but highlights the lack of resolution. It’s all sweet spot, though, and not a hint of “god rays,” distortion, or other lens artifacts. I could see myself using Workrooms when traveling and away from my desktop and monitors.

[@broimnotyourbro]

Oh, one complaint: why do I have to adjust the front wheel EVERY SINGLE TIME I put the headset on? 😡

[@jaysoegaard]

I just asked someone that played PSVR 2 at CES and they said the image quality and resolution looks better on Quest pro overall in their opinion...Aside from the High Tech controls which blow the competition out of the water...and the lenses...I think the price is justifiable but would have loved that $1000 to $1200 range...I think I will keep an eye out for Meta Pro software updates and game support to you'll the trigger...I don't see you getting Quest 3 to later this year and might come with base controllers with a new vibration implemented..They will keep it cheap and those controllers on pro are high-tech as hell. By that time this thing should drop down to 1200 bucks used at 1k with highly supported software as Meta is killing it on the software update front...Great vids as always thanks for you awesome feedback

[@IrocZIV]

I played with one for a day. I was very impressed with the hardware. The lenses are amazing, and eye tracking is super cool. Unfortunately, they have a lot of work to do to get the UI and software to a point where average users will be willing to integrate something like this into their workflow.

[@ashtonphoenyx]

People who've tried both the PSVR2 and Quest Pro controllers are saying the Quest Pro controllers are better. Just something to note for people deciding between the two.

[@maccomik_VR]

Can a quest2 controller be use on meta pro headset?

[@smyrtgyz]

Purchased for META PRO for productivity, works great, Nice Tool, reduce my office size! It works and as the technology develops this tool not toy will become even more powerful. Enjoyed your video, thank you for your time.

[@aaron4820]

I got this for free with work but even at the point of waiting for the headset to arrive I had "buyer's remorse" despite not having to pay for it upon reading the specs. However, after the receiving the headset I've changed my mind about it, while it's not as comfortable as the Quest 2 with aftermarket accessories, there's a significant improvement in the lens and the focus, there's no longer a small zone in the middle, I can read text almost the entire field of view. The passthrough, while not as lifelike as I hoped, is starting to "click" with my brain. I can also push the lens much closer to my eyes than previously possible, resulting in a significant increase in perceived FOV, even with all the light gaps around the edges without the magnetic shields or the aftermarket nose cover, it manages to feel more immersive due to this fact. That said, Workroom simply doesn't work well with me, my PC desktop app crashes while trying to stream (I'm guessing due to the resolution of my ultrawide monitor? I need to test it out with my laptop at some point), so the few meetings I had in Workroom I wasn't able to cast my screen, but there's something there which video call doesn't quite have which Workroom meetings can convey, I look forward to more development on the productivity front, they're really really falling behind on the software front while impressing everyone with their hardware. I would not recommend this for $1500, mostly because the Quest 2 is so much cheaper while delivering a lot, but compare this to other entreprise headsets such as the Vive lineup? Unless you're working with 3rd party controllers and accessories, this is a very strong contender over those with unique standalone features.

[@michaelkim3432]

So sunlight doesn't affect the lenses like the quest 2

[@Bulle212]

[@swe4typ4nther8]

So it's basically a different version of the Microsoft holo lens?

[@kilroy987]

I'm fine with my Quest 2 for now. I'll wait to see what Quest 3 has to offer. In the meantime, I'm even debating on how much I want to get a PSVR2, knowing that it's likely there may be a revision within a year.

[@kevinbrook7033]

I aboslutely love this headset, easily the best I've ever owned. For PCVR I'm coming from a Vive Pro 2 and Reverb G2 and despite having a lower resolution than both and not using a Displayport the overall visuals are much better on the Quest Pro. Much larger FOV than the Reverb G2, brighter screen and better colours, the real killer feature is the true edge to edge clarity across the whole visual field. It's truly transformative and adds so much to the experience. Compared to the Vive Pro 2 the horizontal FOV is almost as wide but better vertically, and there is zero godray issues that plague that headset. The sweet spot is also so much larger, I simply never want to use a fresnel lens based headset again. They have perfected inside out tracking with this device, I prefer the Quest Pro controllers to the Index controllers now. The new features, mixed reality, eye and face tracking are undeveloped so far and as Cas and Chary say are very much a devkit rather than really useable right now But the potential is absolutely there and Meta will continually update this over the next few months making it better and better. If your only interest is gaming then definitely wait for Quest 3 which will have most of the gaming focused features this has for a much lower price point. If like the sound of the new features but you're concerned about value for money I'd wait for the Quest Pro 2, which will likely release fairly quickly as they will want to put the XR2 gen 2 chip inside one of these asap, which will likely allow for higher resolution displays and better passthrough (I'd estimate this will be replaced within 18-24 months). If you want to experience the future of VR/XR as it happens however, and can afford to lay out £1500 for the experience of seeing this technology first then this is a fantastic headset, and the best of the seven I've owned so far. It's got me excited about VR again, recent headsets just seem to be about better resolution and no real developments aside from that, this headset stirs the imagination, provided you appreciate the tech beyond just gaming.

If the platform becomes more mature, the PIMAX Crystal (and even the portal system) looks really really promising.

[@Thezuule1]

Your issue with chromatic aberration may well be because you're using software designed with the Quest 2 fresnel lenses in mind. Chromatic aberration is correctable with software but you have to know what your lense is.

[@pedroarraztoa2789]

With respect of PC VR games, do not let the spec confuse you. Te quality of the lenses are amazing, definition almost like Varjo Aero, great for simulation games, but only if you upscale it to 1.5 or above. You must have a 4090.

[@JamesBond-qv2ht]

I have had one for a few weeks and my eyes appreciate the lenses which are way better than Q2. What I have been struggling with is comfort. It is pretty tricky to get a consistently good fit, and when you don’t, you quite literally get a headache from the headset’s clamping pressure on your forehead and back of your skull. At this price point, I can’t believe this is an issue.

[@neilrisley1321]

Pimax headsets always give that impression...."on paper" in reality they don't get many good reviews 🤔

[@christuusgnosis]

after thinking about it a bit I can't understand why they would lower the res. I have a reverb g2 and that extra 180 pixels per eye really does matter a lot to me If meta is going for business useage it needs to top the g2 and PSVR 2 resolutions business users need to reed more than one document at once, and be able to use the entire set of desktop office applications inside vr. This headset is good for developers and gamers with a bit more money it will probably go over with a vrchat user because of the tracking. I think ppl using BIM software like Revit might like like its portability, but I can't see this being the headset that makes vr a useful office tool for regular business users. For the price, I think Meta could make the resolution 2880 per eye and put 2 Snapdragon chips inside it. The OS needs to be upgraded to a newer android as well for devs to use updated tools instead of Android Studio 4 still. It should run google android phone apps natively IMHO. Then it would be readable, fast, and not so meta locked into their lame app set. I am more excited about the psvr than this, but I am excited about its body tracking and the color passthrough/ar. I dev for the quest platform with unreal and it can really do quite a lot, but I am a person who love creepy digital fogs and clouds and the quest just chokes on that stuff, so I aim mostly for pcvr. I like the outdoor portability a lot, and the space at the sides looks useful for a dev I wish hmd's were a bit easier to pop up away from your eyes so you can keyboard for a second. It REALLY should have a micro sd slot on it too. my nickel's worth.

[@christuusgnosis]

@Socucius Ergalla I think the quest pro has the pixels closer too. I think meta really does make good quality products it took me a while to warm up to the xr2 graphics but tracking in the quest is very good I think by the time the Q3 comes out we might get a bit sharper in lenses and pixel density no matter what we are still in the early days of vr and what we will have in 5 years from now will be significantly better than current offerings. We can't really do office work with headsets until we have 4k per eye and multiple work windows I'm fine with games for now. Such a great technology. I'm losing body fat playing vr games who would have thought.

[@shadowworlds]

This will be the 1st head set that I have not bought from oculus/meta. Instead im getting the pico 4 but also the pimax crystal. I think the new pimax may set a new standard for stand alone headsets.

[@neilrisley1321]

As a stand alone headset the Pimax Crystal will be heavier, less comfortable & some of its features don't mean much because the XR2 chip doesn't provide the power to make full use of them (the resolution & refresh rate almost become obsolete without a high end PC to connect to) It also has no official release date yet & no current stand alone store 🤷‍♂️

I doubt I’ll get the Quest Pro given most of the coolest things about it are reportedly going to be in the Quest 3. Now I would be willing to buy the better controllers, if they aren’t included with the Quest 3 when it comes out.

It cost $2,299.99 in Canada. I rather use that money to upgrade my PCVR on Black Friday.

[@Thezuule1]

It doesn't actually have less resolution since you couldn't actually see all the pixels in a Quest 2 in the first place.

[@BionicFreakOfficial]

Yeah WAAAAYYY too expensive for what it offers. It's very cool, but the non-existent battery life is unacceptable. Thanks for the honest review! I can't wait to see what the Quest 3 offers! (hopefully at a much lower price!)

[@VREmirate]

It looks good enough to wear in public, plus with passthrough on, people won't try anything silly! Thumbs up!

[@mackychloe]

I could snatch that thing off of your head quick time & "passthrough" would not help you.

[@waleedsharif618]

Quest pro will be improved 100% with software updates like they did with quest 2

[@marklola12]

Let's hope the thunbsticks last longer than quest 2 ones, the amount of people with drift is rediculous

Thanks ⚔️

Update to this: I was wrong. Visual quality is way better. Stupid user error on my part. Just got one since price dropped to $1,000. Comparing to my Q2. Obviously better, but might return and wait for Q3. Been using the movie Armageddon to compare them. Great cheesy movie with true reference visuals.

How is it fir watching 4k movies? I'd be using skybox vr

[@rushmore3927]

@@mikestephenson4240 1080p looks great. Not tried 4K yet. This is the best for movies yet, IMO.

[@rushmore3927]

@@mikestephenson4240 I use Skybox too, BTW. Favorite app.

[@rushmore3927]

@@mikestephenson4240 I was wrong in my original post and edited some. I was comparing with lower res movie by mistake. Once compared with 1080p versions, the improvement stood out. Might keep it now. Easier if knew how good Q3 is, but seems no way same quality as Q3 at much lower price.

[@mikestephenson4240]

@Rush More Yeah was thinking the same I don't think quest 3 will be as good as the pro. I originally intended to get the pro but the low resolution spec put me off si went for the pico 4 because of the much much higher resolution. Ended up selling it on though as I come from an oculus background having had 1 and 2 the pico just wasn't as established. Won't be buying any other brand now as long as games still compatible as have some in my quest account.. I've heard as well that the pro is stook at 72 hz and not even possible to get the 120hz update so something else that put me off.. Could you let me know please how good movies look in 4K on the pro

[@raspy7588]

Can I ask why chary is never in the vids I only started watching last month and idk

[@heatherperkins9737]

I wonder if, especially given the very mixed reaction to Zuckerberg going all in on the “metaverse,” there’s too much emphasis on this being a business tool and not a gaming device. I feel that should be one more iteration away, and they might have done better to run this latest tech by the gaming community and aimed it more toward them/us. And that includes price point. Just my take.

[@tobiasmyers3505]

When they add eye tracked foveated rendering for all PCVR as Varjo Aero has, it will be as good or a little better fov than Varjo Aero, for a lot less money, considering Aero is $400 more and you need base stations, controllers, and it is tethered only.

[@iNotYou]

Спасибо за обзор, милая девушка :)

[@simpl3lang]

Snagged one today for 600 (offerup) 😁

[@Nathan-is7li]

I think they should have waited until passthrough is more advanced

[@normanq1206]

i think it will always be comfier sitting in front of a monitor until the headsets become as small as regular eyeglasses.

[@CasandChary]

Yeah possibly!

[@businessgoat8945]

I love the quest pro

[@Hani_Santa]

2.5 hour battery life no hdmi cable.....so more latency....not for hardcore PCVR gamers unfortunately, how did they mess that up Imagine I am flying or doing a 4 hour race.....I need to switch the battery mid air lol...But yeah great device for other purposes.

[@DanielBascom]

My truest source of vr info!

[@jeffdeprey6279]

You say it makes these controllers superior to all other "stand alone" controllers. What non Stand Alone controllers do you like more? or think are better?

[@tobiasmyers3505]

One guy in the comments said they are better than Index controllers, which frequently favorites, but they work better and without base stations and tethered hmd.

[@QMaverick1]

I'm waiting to see what Valve has cooking for their next headset before I make any decisions. I don't think I'd buy this in any case because, well, I don't really want to give Meta money unless they change their VR strategies, and I am a PC VR person. This seems really overpriced for what you get. A neww Playstation VR headset modified to work with PCVR seems like a better deal.

[@tobiasmyers3505]

I hope a PCVR PSVR conversation is possible! That would be amazing. I'm not counting on it anytime soon, but it's possible. It would be one of the best, and definitely best priced for value, PCVR headsets, especially if the eye tracking worked.
