What drove me crazy with the q2 was not sharp enough lenses and minimal sweet spot having to move your head around while keeping your eyes centerrd. I felt trapped. The p4 alleviates this in a pretty major way.

It definitely does

Yeah, it does get fuzzy if you get out of that narrow sweet spot. The original PSVR has a bigger sweet spot.

[@MrTechcat]

I have Quest 2 and got Pico 4 to make a video on my channel.. and after a week of playing on Pico, I do not want to return to my Quest simply because of comfort. Now I feel how much did the Quest push on my face, how it instantly makes face sweat and how uncomfortable it's compared to a brand new well designed headset.

[@alpinyoable]

@@MrTechcat hy could you tell me is it a big difference in visuals in pico 4 compared to quest 2? I want to use it as a meditation and therapy tool so the visuals would be important.

[@AdzSNR-YT]

@alpinyoable the pico 4 has 2060p The quest 2 is 1080p The difference is small but definitely noticeable & the fov & gameplay @90hz are stunning.

[@johnthompson3643]

I picked up Pico 4 because I refuse to wait a year for Quest 3

[@dansquires2713]

I wear my Pico 4 for 6 hours a day as I did with my quest. I can say without a doubt it is way more bearable for long sessions. I agree the default interface is a bit hard at first but I think it's already starting to mould its shape to my face as opposed to the vr cover interface which started off super comfortable but has now squashed to nothing. It looks much better and VD works so well with my rift games. Booted it up installed VD and I was playing pop1 in seconds. I haven't regretted it for a second. Cheers for the vids. Keep 'em coming.

The quest 2 is also not supported in many countries in the world. And when they had to RMA, they asked to ship it half way around the world so where is the risk there? So between Pico and Quest probably you could face the same. But for the quest it is 100% that case if they do not support your country. We will see how good Pico turns out.

I think I decided to just let go for now and wait for a true PCVR headset. At this point I don't even need standalone/wireless tech, what I need is DisplayPort if not HDMI. I am done with half measures, Sidegrades, unfinished stuff, last gen stuff... at this point someone really pulls out something impressive out of nowhere, or it will be the Valve Deckard. I'm not upgrading from a 6 year old headset to now deal with latency or Bitrate issues or anything of that sort.

[@bou2220]

Just saying my new router gives me an amazing nearly flawless hitch free VR experience on quest 2. If you can wait, wait for Quest 3 or get a used Quest 2, and you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. If you set it up correctly that is.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

I have my Quest 2 for nearly two years and I will keep it until it dies. But.... next week I will get my Pico4. Then my Quest 2 will be used only for the Quest exclusives and the Pico4 for my PCVR titles. The main reason why I buy the Pico is the weight of the headset. I'm using the BoboVR battery-headstrap with my Quest which makes it ok to wear, but I often notice that it gets heavy especially in gaming. Not so much in fitness apps. Besides that, I buy the Pico4 not only for me, I one for a friend of mine, who probably is going to need a lot of help with his. Because I have my Pico4 myself then I can help him with issues he might encounter with his, like the simple buying of games.

[@RavenTaleLive]

My Q2's left controller reached a point of severe thumbstick drift where no solution was enough to fix it, I contacted meta and of course turns out my only option was to ship the controller to US on my own expense for them to replace it, which would cost more than buying a new one, I'm surprised Meta doesn't cover the majority of the world so definitely check whether your country is covered before buying either headset.

[@boriskamenov1842]

HERE IS A FIX !!! Buy Contact Spray. Do not disasemble the controler. Simply remove the battery and spray a lot on the thumbstick and wobble it a lot, it will get where it has to. Then leave to dry, put back the batteries and you are good to go. I use my qiest 2 every day for 1 year, and it starts to drift every 10 to 15 days. I think that it gets corosion or dust on the potentiometer and the contact spray cleans it. Its 10$, don't hurt to try :)

[@RavenTaleLive]

@@boriskamenov1842 it works for a while, but eventually the sensor itself wears out and it got to the point no amount of contact spray has ANY effect, at that point I contacted support and after being denied I tried removing the top lid and getting more contact spray in, didn't work too so now I wait for a thumbstick replacement from Aliexpress.

very true - every word you said ! i am holding off buying one of these for the reasons you have mentioned , i ;d prefer to wait for quest 3 since quest pro is not affordable and i have quest 2 already

[@purrpocalypse]

The problem is that there isn't a good headset available in the states right now at this price point. The Quest 2 is outdated, the Quest 3 won't be for another year, and all the other options are pushing 1k which is absurd. Plus you can get a Pico imported without any additional price hike, it's not difficult to get fortunately. Only issue is the lack of warranty.

I always ask myself, why so many vr tubers don’t mention your 4th point, even when being ask about it. Most of the catchy 10 til 20 minutes vids just don’t contain this information, while these guys had no problems at all, to mention the missing social media login when the pico 3 link has been published as a huge advantage over meta. The best answer i got from someone has been: all KZbinrs mentioned it, in a podcast. Bytedance doesn’t even try to hide its close bonds with the chinese cp and their ministery of public security. I read a review with information about data protection. The terms of usage seem to include, that you have to agree, that pico is allowed to share your vr data with all of its partners. I can still understand, that this is a great device for a great price. But since many viewers rely on the yt channels, they follow, I consider this as a very relevant information. So I personally consider silence on this topic as a significant weakness resulting in decreasing trust in those guys.

The difference between giving my data to the chinese goverment vs facebook is that my personal usage data is largely useless to the chinese goverment.

My main issue is that it didn't fit well enough due to my nose. Only way to get that sweet spot is to put a lot of pressure on the top of my nose. I will prolly return them here as no matter what I do i can't get comfortable . coming from Oculus rift (The OG one,) which fit me like a glove, I find comfort to be important. Also wireless experience was less than desirable.. Used to tethered experience, the latency just doesn't work for me. and with virtual desktop I felt isolated as I could on rift just open menu and look at my desktop in one button...

I just got my pico 4 today and I was super excited. But… it’s kinda a let down once you play in it. First the fov is horrible. The fov is more zoomed in and doesn’t look to good. Second, pc vr is good. Eh never mind I take that back. The fps is bad and pretty delayed. One of the games I play called gorilla tag is not only pc vr only on the pico 4, but it’s pretty hard to move around. And the controller/hand placement is not so good. It’s more slanted than straight. Now the last reason is the comfort. It’s kinda painful to your face physically and emotionally. I find myself fixing the headset constantly compared to my quest 2 it’s a one time adjust then I’m good.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

Fov is better than quest 2 Pcvr is dependent on your hardware and I highly recommend you only use virtual desktop. This sounds like a gorilla tag issue not Pico issue I know plenty of other people with comfort issues on the Pico 4, luckily new 3rd facial covers are coming out

[@Diavire]

​@@beanos2287 Can you elaborate on why?

[@beanos2287]

@@Diavire I owned one and it's a terrible headset in many different aspects. Very large, clunky controllers with massive rings that bump into one another when performing reloads in FPS games (quite uncomfortable, buttons and triggers are very poor and have no way to tell if you're touching them). The worst controller tracking volume in any headset I've ever used (you literally cannot put the controller even an inch above your eyeline or it will lose tracking). Poor lens design and shape (lenses have an extremely narrow area of clarity surrounded by a massive amount of blurriness which renders the high display resolution useless; the shape is unnaturally geometric towards where your nose is and as a result it cuts off your vision in a way that the two images you see don't mesh together properly). The headset is extraordinarily heavy and the strap (for me personally) was not sufficient to keep it in position for very long without needing to readjust it. The cable is very stiff and has trouble bending and flexing to accommodate movement. The headset depending on your setup may or may not have constant errors, black screens, blue screens, and other issues and software problems (my headset would cut off audio on one ear sometimes, get black or blue screens, or just refuse to work even after receiving the upgraded cable that was supposed to fix the issue). Just trust me, the G2 is a particularly and frustratingly terrible headset, but then again, what did I expect from Hewlett-Packard? I guess wanting a functional product that's an improment on my Rift S for $600 is just too much and I clearly need to lower my standards, or so the HP fan boys say.

An issue you missed is the vibration tracking issue. When the controllers vibrate they mess with the tracking. I've got a few example videos of it. I've been told it might be fixed in 5.2, of that I'm hopeful as it ruins pistol whip and beatsaber for me.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

[@varph_]

@@Gamingwithmatteo311 can you test it? Is your headset on 5.1? It's very easy since you can just go into pistol whip and the opening menu screen causes the controllers to vibrate to the best and you can see them visually on VR shake when moving the controller.

[@mururoa7024]

Advanced Beat Saber players beware! Considering the Pico4 for playing everything Expert+ on Beat Saber? TLDR: Forget it! Long version: - If you use the Pico Streaming assistant either over Wifi or over USBC, and you crank up the video settings to the max, the image quality is still inferior to a Valve Index because it's blurry. Lower the settings and it becomes more blurry. No matter how, it's blurry despite the pancake lenses. Personally I prefer a crisp image with slight screen door effect (as on the Index), than a blurry image without. Some say the Pico streamer app is compressing the video too much. Who knows. Whatever the limitation is, it sucks. - So if you want better image quality than with the default streamer app you'll need to use Virtual Desktop. Virtual Desktop consists of 2 parts: an app on the Pico and a streamer app on your PC. But, there's a but. Virtual Desktop's streamer app wants to go over Wifi only. There used to be workarounds involving "tethering over USB" but after the last firmware update they don't work anymore. The workaround involved installing an Android app (APK) which allowed you to access all of the Pico's hidden settings. Besides, it was a gigantic pain in the butt to set up, tons of forums to read on Reddit, hard to get right on the first try, and you had to enable the settings on the Pico and on your PC every time before playing. Uggh! If with your previous headset you used to just "start VR" and play, this is in and of itself is already a deal breaker. - But now for _the_ major deal breaker: The controllers!! OMG these controllers are SO bad for playing Beat Saber! It's worse if you have big hands. Their shape makes it impossible to find a comfortable and _secure_ grip. You end up clicking buttons all the time while playing (and you know what that does). The plastic is super slippery. When playing fast they _will_ slip out of your hands absolutely guaranteed. Don't even think of playing any Camellia map. When you see youtubers play Beat Saber with them they all play very slowly. Clearly these controllers are meant for very casual gaming. The tracking and accuracy was also not great during fast play: it "works" but it'll ruin your PP. For the rest, I found the face mask to be very uncomfortable (compared to a Valve Index), but I guess YMMV and you could buy aftermarket pads that maybe feel better and don't let light in from the sides. I returned my Pico4 after less than a week of daily use. The poor image quality due to the streaming limitations, and the slippery un-ergonomic inaccurate controllers, made me do so.

[@daywalker6747]

I thought if this when you mentioned on the quest 2 and do now. Your #4 point is not a minimal one. How are we not talking about the fact that the 2 mayor VR companies are companies dedicating to sell people's data?

I was worried for a sec since I'm planning to buy the pico 4 but thankfully none of these points concerns me. 1. It is available in my country. Its in fact one of 4 vr headsets that are available in my country. The other 3 being quest 2 and 3 and a valve index. 2. Im not buying it for exclusives. I will be mainly using it for pcvr. 3. Since im using it for pcvr, this doesn't concern me. Not that I even really mod games to begin with. 4. Meta is just as bad 5. I don't have a quest 2.

[@SIR_Studios786]

These all the issues are same as other devices too. than what is specific to PICO 4 against Quest. If someone does not have any set, then what is your suggestion ?

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

These issues definitely arent for all headsets. Quest is available in US Bytedance doesn't own Quest Quest has exclusive games Quest had mod io support Personally I like my Pico 4 more than my quest but these issues might be deal breakers

[@SIR_Studios786]

@@Gamingwithmatteo311 yes you are right if you are in US, but you have followers around the GLOB, as some are living other countries where no any head set is launched, i.e. india, pakistan, UAE, etc... so mention your video is specific to region US only. we are having same issues as meta quest, except exclusive titles..

[@wastafox84]

The biggest problem is it's not in the US

[@heyjohnsmith]

In my country they are on sale for roughly 360 USD: 128gb | 430 USD: 256gb; + 4 free games. They are selling at a lost for people to get them.

I had Oculus 2 for 4weeks and after update shop did not respond and did crash all the time, so could not purchase and install anything. I tried to message many different places without responce, problem was also that my mobile app could not pair anymore with vr so kids could not play because i could not help them... So today I did return those back in shop and got an PICO 4 256gb version and 3 games with same money as oculus 2. I hope client service is better than with "facebook". Ps. sorry my English ;) i'm from Finland

[@lukasmazanec4786]

I have buy pico Neo 4. Cuz price is Nice. And i dont want wait one year for quest 3 ... This is my first headset and is best buy for now...

[@Lelle14]

If I want to play bonelab on pico 4 can I just buy it on steam in my pc? And can I play online with people that have oculus when I have pico 4. And last do I need to be close to my computer when I play pcvr. The big question wich of the two Vr should I buy? I don’t have any vr right now.

[@Ben15739]

Does the pico 4 also have mixed reality. So that you can play into your room

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

Not really It has pass-through but only a single camera and no depth sensor

[@Ben15739]

@@Gamingwithmatteo311 so you can only see Things that are into your room but you can't take Things inti your room

[@Ben15739]

And I have another question: On the quest 2 you can put Things e.g.: a Sofa into vr so that when you sit on the Sofa you really sit on the Sofa in real life too. Does that also work on the pico 4

[@bluebell1]

@@cusuk366 I’m not a fan of Meta’s practices either but I think they are “safer” than Bytedance. From what I’ve researched Pico is mandated to share information to the Chinese government. They also share keystrokes, and all personal information you use. I’m sure they aren’t looking at small potatoes like me but you never know. Thank you for a very well thought out response!

[@JefFourny]

just a point on Pico 4 with the Virtual destop program, we can play with all our Meta game titles as well as steam

[@weltenkrank7807]

Well shitting on bytedance for every influence that goes in the wrong direction, while Meta literally already caused a genocide, ignored human trafficking and slave labour for the add revenue and made your grandpa a nazi is a bit hypocritic. Yes it is good to stay cautious of every social media company like Bytedance, Meta or twitter but Meta is the actual leader of shitty behaviour and was actually a reason why I chose the pico 4.

i upgraded from a oculus rift s. So its a full upgrade for me

im trying to work out if i should get a pico 4 or the neo 3 link for pc vr. i have a rift s on the way out but i dont really like meta.

[@theodoreyoungman2111]

I don't have a quest 2 and was looking for something just for pcvr that won't break the bank. This is looking good

[@jasondonavich2758]

The Pico 4 is definitely worth the price now and beats the quest 2 and 3 with ease.

[@robertbell4455]

I`ve had my Pico 4 for a week and I`m loving it. I`ve connected it to my PC wirelessly using virtual desktop and I can play all my Steam games. i had HP reverb G1 and G2 before and they both had problems. The Pico has worked flawlessly so far and it`s really easy to set up and get running. I play mostly car racing sims and I`ve got my settings on high and I`m getting 90 fps. I think I could get better quality with a littie tweaking. This is bettrer than the reverb., My GPU is a Geeforce 3070 which is not really top end. And I don`t care if it`s owned by Tik Tok

I'm waiting for my global version to come from Amazon but that's weeks out. Do u think I'll be fine with Chinese version? Like do they all work the same or is it regional lock? I'm also going to sideload the apk manually from their browser on the headset

[@danielburks6224]

Do not buy the Chinese version it requires a china government ID number so they can monitor your usage time. I went with the UK version and the unit works great for me here in the USA also i was able to download the pico store apk to my phone using apk pure app. Once installed it works fine for me so far I'm enjoying the device.

Mateo may I draw your attention to Against that is currently a exclusive Pico standalone title as its still not on the Meta Quest Store ;) Artful

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

It's on pc, so not a true exclusive but good call

[@1blisslife]

I'm enjoying the pay for games as tax free games for the Pico4 here in the US atm. 😁 Anyone else have the Pico4 here in the US? I like the location of the volume rocker on the Pico4 better than Meta/Quest2. The adjustable play space when sitting down is something I had been wanting for ages on Quest 2 & Pico4 had it out of the box. I'm also very satisfied with the battery being in the back & also wanted this since the Quest1 days. I do wished there was a pin code or fingerprint authentication when buying games on the VR assistant app. Overall? I'm pretty happy with it. 😊 Download speeds were pretty fast in Texas and import? My shipping was $40 thus making the price $469USD for the 256gb model with shipping included. I've been using the VR assistant app for almost 2 weeks now with no problem and games are priced in USD for me. This might be because of the Pico neo 3... Idk I'm happy with it & got it within a few days after launch without breaking the bank.

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

Definitely sucks

[@MaNeo01]

Very disagree with a lot of your points, and I think your opinion is based by the fact you live outside EU maybe? and also you already have a Quest2, therefore Pico4 is not a big deal for you. If you change just a bit the perspective, from a user that want to purchase their first hmd or just want to jump from pcvr to standalone, Pico4 would be the first option right now, except if they live outside EU, which at the end for me its the only point in the video I agree with. But anyways, I understand it's your opinion, I just think the video is very biased on a very personal perspective and quite unfair. I love your content, see you around!

How about reason six…. We are probably only several months away from quest 3. Showing a little patience can net you a much better headset while still retaining your games and friends

Also keeping my eye on PSVR2. Don't own a PS5, but there's an off chance someone will get it to work on a pc. OLED...

[@Gamingwithmatteo311]

Kind of falls under reason 5, you already have a quest 2.

[@dathyr1]

Yes that is my #1 main reason is the headset not being sold in the US. Until it is, wireless headsets are not on my shopping list. I will not buy Yukkaburgs Quest 2 and be tied to the ridiculous Metaverse. I have better things to do then that. Now whether Tic Toc is the same way as Metaverse, I don't know yet. Time shall Tell if there are any user problems with being tied to "bytedance" and possibly social Tic Toc. Plus there is not enough Pico content unless I go the PCVR route, which I would anyway. Thanks for the video.

Hi Matteo. Can you help me? I just got a Pico 4. I created an account with an email address on the VR Assistant android app, verified it, all ok on the app. Then when I try to log in with that email on the Pico4 headset, it says 'This user does not exist'. Any ideas?

No Wrist straps?

[@phoenixz7011]

owning both the quest2 and the pico4, I'd like to add that there's a slight head-tracking issue with the pico4 that results in a tiny bit of lag between head movement and display movement. but this is only sensible if you compare the two headsets directly after one another. if you never used quest2, you'll most likely not sense this at all.

[@phoenixz7011]

@Gary maybe i'm describing it wrong and that could be not lag but something else, maybe weird acceleration or something, and someone who has sensed the same issue actually contacted pico dev and confirmed that the bug was indeed real, and was working to fix it (but not in v5.2, cos my pico4 is China version and already received v5.2 and they fixed other things), i trust they would fix this soon enough.
