@@karmasutra4774 Apple's Vision Pro shouldn't be on the same list with these headsets. It is not a VR headset. It's for a different market segment entirely. It doesn't run SteamVR or any of the existing VR game libraries that exist. The Vision Pro is for productivity apps and stuff like that, with any gaming support being a sideline at best.

[@mattm203]

The thing I want to know about is latency/quality of the streamed content on the Meta headsets when connected to a PC. I read that the physical connection is USB 3.0, and or it can be connected wirelessly. But both of those mediums dont have the same bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 or 2.1 and I fear the quality and latency would be bad compared to a dedicated PC headset that is connected directly to your GPU and is fully driven by the PC itself.

[@gmdking]

I own the Quest 2, and its okay. It is definitely not the best, but its much nicer than just playing games on the headset itself.

[@Miathestupid]

Through virtual desktop on the recommended network I can get down to about 10ms~ give or take, the quality is mostly based on what you set it to on your pc, cause as long as you have enough space to have the bit rate above like 200mbps it looks just fine. Ive actually been forced down to 40mbps (having to use wifi dongle to connect as a hotspot causing all sorts of quality fuck ups) it still looks good-enough to be playable for me, and i still get that 10ms or below latency.

I’m about to return my meta quest and replace it with an index. Meta sent my headset to the entirely wrong city, and didn’t tell me they did so until after it arrived. A month after I had to drive 80 miles to pick it up before it got stolen off a vacant houses porch, and they’re still dodging responsibility. Valve has consistently shown much better care.

I'm just going off the picture. The meta quest 3 is way better than the quest 2.. just saying

[@cherry_dust2286]

I love my pro2, mainly because I do play social vr apps, such as VRC and chill out vr so I use full body tracking often, if not for that I would have a quest 3 however one downfall of the quest 3 is pcvr where the pro 2 simply outshines the quest 3 in refresh rate, comfort and tracking. Now the lenses are god awful but I have figured out my sweet spot and have made it a very enjoyable experience. To put it simply, if you don’t want pcvr or don’t have the money for a pc that can run it, by all means a quest 3 is your option is a true powerhouse for a standalone. If you have the means and pc for a tethered pcvr an Index or Pro 2 is the way to go as me personally believe lighthouse tracking is more accurate and precise compared to inside out tracking.

Real question, why the hell would you get the pico4. For a extra 30$ currently you can pickup a quest 3 that has more games, better software, and mode compatibility with PC gaming... If you're going to spend 500$ on a VR headset, you might as well just go for the best of the best in the industry, instead of promises that pico4 has. Not to mention pico4 is chinese based, meaning they 100% install spyware. I'd much rather have U.S spyware rather then Chinese. As atleast in the U.S their are SOME restrictions meanwhile china their is zero.

But yet they dont even try. Seems odd to me

She gets up really slowly and starts limping towards me. I am ina total panic and turn to run. I feel over several chairs in the room and nearly broke his headset. It was very real, so much, that I believe it is satanic.

Psvr2 is the best in my opinion, now that it has the PC adapter I can play over 200 games already out on the PS5 all the steam VR games and all the meta store games. Just a few quest 3 exclusive games I can’t play. I have a quest 3 for that but since the PSVR2s PC adapter, the quest 3 is collecting dust. Especially now I invested in a the global cluster mod the headset is the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. Also the controllers are my favorite VR controllers on the market.

[@johnmclain250]

@@Deathstroke-r7h No, I either have or do own most of these headsets, and the valve index is still one of the best headsets out of all of them. Best audio, best comfort, best fov, best tracking, best refresh rates, best controlers, etc. However with that said, it has fallen behind in resolution and display quality being an older LCD display at a lower resolution. This is valve's fault for not making a headset upgrade/replacement thats more modern since the Index's launch. If they were to do so it would be the best VR experience on earth once again. But I agree, due to the outdated LCD screen tech and the lower resolution, it shouldn't be on any top VR lists anymore given it's still $1000.
