[@fiberologist]

Danke! Your reviews are always spot on and concise but really cover all the topics one really needs to know without delving to much into technical details. The non-influency and objective stance adds a lot to the thrustworthiness. The only experiences I have with VR are the Vive for a day and the Quest 2 for a week (also with SteamVR via cable). I thought about buying a Quest 2 with the BOBOVR-M1 as even with my rather dated GPU, SteamVR and the game Free Driver ran pretty good. This review brought that train of thought to a screeching halt. Higher resolution, One-To-One see-through with pretty colors, accurate tracking, light-weight, comfortable head-band from the get-go, motor IPD, no shine through, easy for glasses. I'll happily wear bluetooth headsets and strap a powerbank to my hip or arm and will hopefully have longer sessions with this in the future. The price is also really nice and heiss.

I had a Quest 2 up until recently and am considering a Pico 4 as replacement. My main issue with the Quest 2 was that my unit often (very often) didn't startup properly, I was stuck with a black screen a few seconds after the unlock screen showed up. In the end it was harder and harder to get it to restart and boot properly until it kind of died, never giving me anything else than this black screen. I guess it's not an easy question but, should I expect this kind of undesirable behavior from the Pico 4? I'd just like my next VR headset to not die on me early (the Quest 2 was about half a year old).

Pico can deliver cheap headsest with pancake lenses, color camera and you can change IPD in more steps than Quest2. These are arguments strong for Pico. Quest 2 had lot problems as bad or nothing quality control. I had 4x quest 2 headsets and 3 from these was with bad lenses - with failures as black spots inside lenses, reflect rainbow was broken, image was strong blurry, strong god rays etc. Only 1 from 4 was OK. Really terrible and I am thinking to changing on the Pico.

[@ShinoBells]

You mention that you can use USB-C to 3.5mm dongle DAC as a solution for headphones. While it may work, my concern would be the added power draw. If it already does not have much battery life, having to power a DAC may cut into that battery life as well. Bluetooth audio is not a solution, as that not only sounds worse and may have latency problems, but that would sap battery life too. Considering the low cost of the part, it is unfortunate to not include it in the unit. That said, the pricing is pretty competitive, and being able to attach an external battery bank is nice.

[@lraiden7]

The sell adapters that have a USB pass through, so you can charge while using headphones. I brough one for my PICO 4. The device itself (Pico 4) is so so.

[@pietroroberto6114]

Which should I get if I want to play PC VR games? Pico 4 or HP Reverb G2? I wear glasses fyi.

[@voinian]

The advantages of Reverb G2 is the brightness, (color?) and uncompressed low latency PCVR, doesn't run out of battery. Pico4 has better lenses, better FOV, and lighter headset part (when you subtract the rear battery), though G2 is relatively light and comfortable too compared to other headsets. However, if you count in having to use external headphones on the Pico 4 for acceptable sound quality, vs G2 speakers, then the comfort argument is not so clear anymore. Controllers and tracking are advantage on Pico 4 in terms of tracking, ergonomics, haptics. On G2, you need some special batteries for it to work properly or to not burn through million AA batteries. Not sure about controller support in SteamVR on Pico4, but on G2 the support is pretty bad and you have to do a lot of custom binding with the awful SteamVR binding UI. I mainly play Beat Saber on the G2, and the brightness, colors, comfort, audio and native PCVR all make it great experience even if small tracking volume don't make it ideal for competitive play (I have no problem finishing highest end maps though). However, I'd say Pico 4 is otherwise much preferable for general VR gaming.

I need your expert opinion between a pico 4 for 550 or a reverb G2 for 300 (cad). I want to play pcvr but don't have a sutible router for streaming currently and no USB C on my rig but I do like the idea of wireless play. The tracking is the only thing really stopping me from pulling the trigger on the G2 as i've heard so many mixed reports but if its good enough for blade and sorcery, boneworks ect it would be much easier than importing the pico. What do you think?

[@tapist3482]

If you already have a high enough spec PC I suggest go for reverb G2 since it's cheaper so you don't pay for a processor chip that you won't use. Plus G2 has the same audio as Index which sounds great. I don't like G2's controllers, though, and if you wanna swap them to Index controllers it would be another huge investment.

[@DigitalCatASMR]

controlers of G2 sucks! i have it and tracking just not good... i'm getting pico 4 for PCVR too

[@popiposo]

I'm using a G2 (1st Gen) and I would say it depends on what games you'll play. I would say the G2's tracking (in my experience) is acceptable, but I did notice it's not as good as Rift S (my first) when it comes to spaces above, below and behind the back. Also, it has a lot more issues when trying to put the controllers in front of the other like in FPS games. I am used to it and am used to angling my hands to make it work somewhat, not for all guns though. And because you mentioned BnS specifically, I would say it's serviceable BUT, I can never use weapons like spears or any other long weapons where the hands are far apart. Not sure if this problem is seen in other inside out tracking HMDs, but for the G2 I am using, it's definitely a problem. The biggest positive for the G2 is the display and the direct cable connection though, so if you use it for media viewing, this might be especially impt. I think it was MRTV who very briefly compared visuals between headsets (can't rmb which vid but I think it was the FOV one?) and said that G2 is still kinda better in clarity compared to the Pico 4.

Nothing really of both. The Pico 4 only has one color camera (instead of 2 like the Quest Pro), but the Pico 4 uses the other 4 black/white cameras and uses the information to turn the image material from the one color camera into a "3D" image. That's why you see this wobbling sometimes. It's really good from what I've heard, but real 3D is of course even better.

2D

Just unboxed my Pico 4, and my first impression was... DISAPPOINTED 😭😭😭 The face cushion is so stiff, it pressed my face much more than the Quest 2, I didn't feel it light at all. It also left ugly marks on my face just after a few minutes of play. Terrible. 😣 There was no tracking at all until I set the boundaries, it made me feel dizzy. The worst bug: if I shake my head quickly, the whole scene moves with my head like there was no tracking at all. This doesn't happen with the Quest 2. Very annoying... The color pass-through is also very bad. Objects that are 1.5m tall were displayed as flat on the floor... The depth sensor is clearly missing, without that it's a mess. Overall, the Pico 4 is a huge disappointment, I think I'll cry.... And will sell it as soon as I can. 😞

The Quest 2 facial cover was horrible as well. It´s a minor problem, a third-party facial cover will be on market soon.

[@xalau5270]

Have you updated the firmware to the last version?

@@xalau5270 I didn't have a problem with the original Quest 2 facial cover at all... but yes, 3rd party covers are always better 🙂

is the passthrough stereoscopic or mono 2d view

[@zues287]

2D. It only has one color passthrough camera, so no stereoscopic.

[@pumpuppthevolume]

@@zues287 do u have it ....someone was saying at a distance it looks 3d but close up things don't look well ....and someone was saying the distortion around the hands like what u have in the quest 2 happens when it's failing to composit a 3d picture ...it doesn't look like a fuzzy composit video from the black and white cameras and the color camera like the qpro ........some people r saying confusing stuff or don't know what they r talking about.....some people were saying stright out it's 2d

[@JAKOB1977]

Are you blasting a pulsed light infront of yourself while checking tracking.? Looks like your standing infront of a TV or a monitor or maybe a spotlight?.. when looking at the glow in the Pico4 visir.? 20:00 How do you think inside out tracking works? pulsed light from lighting equioment where most are using LEDs nowadays, and screens, sunlight and general light with a lot IR.. is contaminating a lot., as the inside-out-tracking is based on IR. maybe not the ideal way to test IR tracking, if you actually have a spotlight flooding you in direct light.
