I was hoping to get some recommendations for pc vr but you mostly focused on console and wireless 😢

[@VRelity]

Well there are a lot of different companies that are making pcvr headsets but most of them i wouldn't recommend. For me personally i would go for PSVR 2 as a PCVR headset with the adapter since it is much better and cheaper on nearly every aspect compared to its competitors.

[@Xialoh]

​@@VRelitythis is the first time I've heard of this adapter....guess I need to look into PSVR2.

[@WeezyNinja420]

⁠@@VRelitywould you do the quest 3 or psvr? Tryna figure out which to get since I’m finally getting back into vr

[@s.akhtarjoomun263]

@@WeezyNinja420 So far, I think the winner is Quest 3. My brother bought this. I think I'm gonna buy the same... and based on this video, if you've paid attention, is tried to tell you the same thing. If you want value for money, Quest 3 is the winner

[@CloverArchive]

actually, most of these can use pc through a tether!

[@Camlo434]

did a demo of the apple vision pro yesterday. Yeah, the resolution is insane, interface is clean and eye tracking is responsive. honestly from my perspective its not heavy, but perhaps because ive used headsets since 2017. I dont like the passthrough brightness much or the fov, but its definitely the cleanest

[@Camlo434]

if you are a vr veteran nothing will really surprise you on the vision pro, but its crazy to think we are at this level and the resolution is like this

[@brodmonah4901]

Id love a beautiful look but if only apple didnt make their products to die after a few years

[@VRelity]

yeah if just the price was slightly lower

[@scientificidiot4165]

It also lacks software variety and games to run

[@calvin659]

@@Camlo434 Coming from Quest 2 and Quest 3, the gestures/hand tracking on the AVP are amazing. VR headsets that require controllers to navigate effectively should not be called “VR”, tbh.

[@NuzlockerEric2024]

Hears “this one has a really big battery” Instantly thinks of SAO batteries that will kill you if someone takes it off

[@VRelity]

It's not the battery that killed it used microwaves to mess with the senses for the full immersion if someone took it off or you died the microwaves would fry your brain

Please elaborate

[@amongusy3]

@@wheezel55 its a reference to an anime show called sword art online (sao) the plot is the main character is trapped in vr and cant take the headset off or the battery will fry his brain.

[@ivanavina99]

I want a vr system and my only concern is whether I can where my glasses w it. Which one should I get?

[@ThreeTimesCharmVlogs]

I have a ps5 and i want to buy a vr headset should i get psvr 2 or meta quest 3? My budget is 500 dollars and my priorities are gaming mostly and some movie watching if its possible; i dont have a powerful pc so i could only rely on my ps5, can i use a meta quest 3 with my ps5? What would u suggest me

[@zoso5525]

No you cannot use quest 3 with ps5. I would say meta quest 3 but if you just want to play ps5 vr games I would go with the psvr

[@VRelity]

sadly you cant use the quest 3 with the ps5. But unless you want to play the psvr 2 exclusives I would recommend the meta quest 3 more.

[@RDR2_GUYY]

Let me just get this straight. Are there any VR headsets that don't require Steam?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

I have the Quest3 and the Pico4. The Quest is just better in every respect. But I won't give my Pico4 away. It is still a great headset that I use daily.

[@VRelity]

Exactly that sums it up pretty well.

[@feanorcfw]

When do you use which?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@feanorcfw I use them often for fitness and after an hour I just put the Pico or Quest on the shelf where I recharge them and take the other for watching movies...

[@AEONIC_MUSIC]

Why would you use the other daily if the quest is better?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@AEONIC_MUSIC The Quest has Beat Saber and the Pico4 has a clone, Mutrix, which in my opinion has the better features and I like it more than the original Beat Saber. So that's why I play this on my headset. It is also a more comfortable headset, so for most of my PCVR games I use the Pico4. The Quest has the better graphics and I have a few programs on it that I don't have on my Pico4. Watching movies on both headsets is awesome.

[@DIscaIl]

What's the difference between quest 3 and 2? I want to get quest 3 but it's 800 dollars for me, quest 2 is 400

[@VRelity]

I see well there is the big connect even tomorrow so I would recommend waiting and see what they announce there

[@Smackaroon32]

Lucky you waited

[@kfc5manager]

im not sure if i should get the meta quest 2 or the meta quest 3, ive heard that they're both good but im not sure which to get

[@PStudios_2024]

I have had Meta Quest 2 and 3. But sold the 3 like under a month after back to the store and solg the 2 as well. The reason being my eyes cant handle the scren that near and i just dont think passthrough is worth it on the 3. so ill be waiting for the 4.

[@VRelity]

Lets hope that the quest 4 will have better passthrough in that case

[@tylabyla]

some time stamps for each category would be great :)

I'm starting my first job soon and I'm getting a fairly decent amount of money from it. Was wondering what your recommendations would be for VR headsets? I'm looking for PCVR primarily and I wouldnt mind having a cable. Money isnt an issue since I dont mind saving.

[@Abdubumgum]

go for the meta quest 3 you can play pcvr games with no cable and with cable and theres also hand tracking and it doesnt cost 1k

[@VRelity]

If you want pcvr with cable then the PSVR2 is a good option now that it has a PCVR adapter and the price isn't that bad either and it has a nice Oled screen. The other pcvr headsets out there are really expensive and most of the time not worth it

[@unkl115]

The biggest problem with the apple vr headset is it is Apple... don't get me wrong, I'm not an Apple hater, but I don't own anything else Apple. Why would I buy it? Especially since it is so damn expensive!

[@boum5054]

2000$ would've been expensive, 3500 is outrageous

To me a wide fov is a must.. currently i only know of the pimax having the largest. Are there any other headsets as well?

Hi I have a question I am disabled with only the use of my right hand and I am limited with my walking and standing I want to try and use a VR headset for driving, flying and war games can anyone point me in the direction of the one for me. cheers.

[@kitschydotpre4302]

If you have a gaming PC I personally recommend the index, or if you want to go cheaper/standalone the quest 3

[@VRelity]

I think the quest 3 can be a great option in general since you can change the setting a lot for use in seated position.

[@Elisio_]

Quest 2 is out of stock everywhere and the quest 3 is very expensive. I'm kind of stuck here... I want to play VR on my PC, standalone is not a necessity but would be awesome. I've wanted to get a VR for a very long time now and haven't been able to decide on any headsets.

[@Elisio_]

I have heard rumors about Meta developing a new budget friendly headset but nothing really confirms it from what i can find.

[@cjclos3258]

[@paellaeter]

Does buying a pc help while having a vr glasses that don't need one?

[@VRelity]

yeah if you already have a gaming computer you can still play PCVR games with standalone headsets like the quest 3

[@kobaltstaub287]

Funny how no one talks about the longevity of those battery operated headsets. Just like electric cars, no one ever say how long these batteries will last and how expensive they will be when replaced. In the case of those headsets it's probably impossible to change them so when the battery can no longer be charged (and this is not a IF it's a when) you will just have to simply BUY another headset. BATTERIES HAVE A FINITE LIFE so many recharge can be made and once this is reached .... then what, what happens to that marvellous resolution that still could work but ... well it needs new batteries that are unfortunately sealed inside the headset. The more time you spend on it, the more you recharge the less it will last (1-to 3 years max) and those cables that keeps it charged as you play are like a hole in your battery life leaking it's life like a bullet hole

[@Lonelybrightstars]

Can yous still play vrchat on metal? Without pc

[@VRelity]

not sure but think so

[@SjaakSchulteis]

At the time of your video the Pico4 Ultra was not announced yet.... yesterday I pre-ordered it... my daughter gets the Pico4!

[@VRelity]

awesome. I will try to cover it on the channel aswel. let me know if you like it

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@VRelity Well, I got the Ultra last week already. Initially a little disappointed, but now I use it more than my Quest3. The improvements over the Pico4 are clear and noticeable. 3d pass through is so much better. I like the controllers. Sturdy and a bit heavier than those of the Quest3 and without the rings like those of the Pico4. I logged in with the same account and only one game I couldn't use stand-alone anymore because the headset isn't compatible: Mutrix, the very good beat Saber clone. But I could buy it on Steam, so at least at home I can play it.

[@VRelity]

@@SjaakSchulteis alright I will be testing it soon myself and probably have a review on the channel do you think that is something you would like to see on the channel?

even tho i had to skip through all the meta quests...you did inform me enough to make a choice on a purchase. so thank you. i did not know about the PC connection device the psvr2 had. that makes it a VERY viable option.
