Meta Quest Pro Everything Else

5.0 out of 5 stars

The best at a price!

The Meta Quest Pro is hands down the best standalone VR headset available today. If money is no object, or if your a true VR enthusiast, this is the one to buy. There is a HUGE improvement in comfort and clarity over the Quest 2. The controllers and amazing and now it comes with a charging pad. I can wear this headset for hours with not fatigue.My only wish would have been better pass through cameras for a better augmented reality experience. Also for the price they should have thrown in the complete blackout filter (approx $50 extra) not just the side filters.Meta wants this to be a business tool, but I love it for games, movies and entertainment. Not sure how this will work in a business environment, don’t think we are ready for VR at work just yet. All Meta/Oculus games from prior generations of headsets work with the Quest Pro.

Would suggest the pico 4 or any other headset with face and eye tracking capabilities

I do like that it has face and eye built in and support has been made to make it work on PCVR. However for some reason my quest app on my PC no longer connects to it properly and I can’t hear a thing when using it that way. Thankfully virtual desktop now supports the face and eye tracking on it as well so I was able to start using it again. Can’t wait till someone makes an sdk to make the tongue tracking work too for when I sing in VR.

Good for movies & productivity

It’s ok, trying to get the most out of it… disappointed that it doesn’t like mobile hotspots (if you want to save some money) because it seems to be a big data hog, you’ll need really fast internet. Searching google and watching YouTube works with my hotspot but couldn’t open other websites or watch movies on Prime (which works just fine with my laptop, Xbox, phone etc.), it doesn’t even open reddit that’s like 90% just plain text. So that… but everything else is good, the image is better than the quest 2 and it doesn’t get that blurry when you move your head or headset a little bit; also, way more comfortable. You’ll have to decide for yourself; better to find a way to try them both before buying.

I found it uncomfortable and hard to get a good clear sight picture

I hated the strap on this thing. I had so much trouble getting it to fit and it was never comfortable to me. It was always squeezing my head too tight and giving me a headache. If I loosened it up it would flop out of focus too easily. I couldn’t get the adjustable IPD to give me a consistent clear view without excessive eye strain. Since there is no top strap it presses on/against your forehead. This would smoosh my forehead skin down and I would have to keep my eyes in a shocked expression in order to see, further exacerbating my headache. I hated the charging dock. It was annoying to get it in the right position. While the display was a little bit better than my Quest 2, the poor fit made it not worth it for me. It wasn’t a drastic, $600 improvement difference. They should have put the same strap that the Rift S had on it. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the Quest 3 won’t be like this one.

A small upgrade for a big price

First opening the box everything felt legitimate. But as soon as I put on the headset and turned it on felt like what they were saying it was vs what they were seeing was not the same perspective and clarity I feel most were looking for . Yes everything was sharper but the games are not optimized for pro and using it on pc looks good but in the distance objects are crisp jaggy rather than the quest 2 blurry jaggy. Which does not really improve game graphics just makes things sharper . Color is excellent through the new lenses . I feel a lot of us got ripped off for the 1500$ we paid and meta should give everyone back at least 400$ as they dropped the price

The Roller Coaster of Love – The Meta Quest Pro

Alright, let’s get down to it. The Meta Quest Pro. Oh man, where to begin.I’ll admit it, I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I got this. And, for about three weeks, I couldn’t put it down. I mean, we’re talking non-stop use.And now… well, it’s kinda become a bit of a dust collector. But that’s on me, not the headset.Despite the lack of current usage, I’ve gotta say – this thing is a BEAST. It’s clear as day, and I’ve not used a VR headset yet that can hold a candle to it. It’s balanced, comfortable, and the mixed reality passthrough is absolutely next-level.I love it. Absolutely love it. I might not use it every day, but when I do, it’s a game-changer. So, if you’re on the fence about getting it, I’d say go for it.

Box had damage and a dead pixel in the left side.

I had some damage to the box on arrival and within a week of using it found a dead pixel. Working with meta to fix problem

Meta Quest Pro! Good but not perfect.

Pro- Clarity on new lenses are amazing. Despite relatively low resolution compared to competitors, new lenses type and higher ppi makes up for it. It’s like switching low quality 4k panel to higher quality 4k panel.- Seamless wireless play for headset alone or airlink to pc. If you have wifi 6 and good internet connection, it will look just as good as wired connection to pc.- Awesome new controller and tracking.Cons- Pass through camera quality is very bad. You can’t read anything out of it. This is supposed to be mixed reality headset, not just VR but with front camera quality this bad, you can forget about this so called mixed reality. If VR stuff looks crystal clear and real world looks super grainy with low resolution, what’s the point?- Stability of headset is somewhat bad. I am afraid of this headset popping out of my head when I make big fast motion movement. Even if I tighten it up super hard, I get this same wobbly feeling of insecurity when making big movement while having blood flowing issue to my head due to tighten up lock too hard.- Cost.. $1500 for this? really? $1000 sounds like much more reasonable price for this somewhat incomplete AR headset.

Good product, but not good enough

I had to return the Quest Pro because it would not load the website used by my company. I tried to get this resolved by Meta Support, but to no avail. I have since replaced the Quest Pro with the 3, and the 3 loads my company website fine.

Overpriced but pretty good

After 3 months of usage it has died and I have 1k$ device that I don’t know what to do with. Sad, despite of the fact it’s pretty good VR headset with great picture, sound, battery and ergonomic(you should get used to it though). It’s time to get back to my Quest 2 and now I have one extra pair of pro controllers after all.UPDATE: It’s alive. I don’t know why and how but in a few days it has revived. 4 stars because I think it’s overpriced anyway. A good VR headset if you don’t count the money!UPDATE 2023-10-03: Just got overheating message and it’s turned off. New firmware update – new problems. I’m guessing it’s soft problem(you know there is quest 3 release soon) but if not… it’s sad. I kinda tired of meta’s headsets reliability. They don’t live more than a year.UPDATE 2023-10-08: It’s not software problem but hardware, something with battery. It’s dead. Enough said. RIP Quest Pro. Your life was short but bright.P.S. Meantime I’ve preordered Quest 3, hope it will live much longer

Comfortable VR Headset.

I have tried HTC Vive Pro, Valve Index and Meta Quest 2 headsets, but the most comfortable one I’ve come across so far is the Meta Quest Pro. While some reviewers have complained about light coming in the corners, I actually find it helps alleviate eye strain and makes VR usage more comfortable for me. ( The headset comes with a cover to block the light and it is optional if we want to have it on the headset.) Compared to the Valve Index, the Meta Quest Pro is lighter and more comfortable. I particularly appreciate being able to see my surroundings in real life while immersed in VR. During gameplay, I’ve noticed that using the Valve Index or Meta Quest 2 can lead to eye strain and headaches, but the Meta Quest Pro doesn’t seem to cause these issues for me. I suspect this is because I can see my arms and the surrounding environment while playing games like Beat Saber, which makes the experience more enjoyable and less taxing on my eyes. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the Meta Quest Pro.

A tiny step in the right direction

This is one of the easiest and most plug-and-play VR headsets out there, including stand-alone and PCVR use. Say what you want about Meta, their Oculus software has worked well since the CV1. The streaming is amazing on Wifi 6: literally no drops, no frame drops, no detectable compression and it doesn’t put up a fight like other options. It just works.It’s not the most comfortable headset or the lightest. The battery pack weighs it down significantly and the fact it’s on the back of your head means you can’t lean back. The way that it sits on your head involves a large rubbery pad pushing against your entire forehead. It may be a source of discomfort for some, the pressure didn’t bother me much; however, the material does not breath and even light use results in significant sweating—more than any other headset I’ve ever used. If you find VR uncomfortable because it can be hot, this is absolutely not the headset for you.Controllers are quality and have the right amount of weight to them and I didn’t have issues with tracking them or my hands. Charging station is nice and can charge everything. It also comes with a single individual controller charger, but it should really come with two because they use contacts and it’s not a cable you can easily supplement like USB C.It is so nice having head tracking without base stations. Again, it just works.All that said, I feel like VR has progressed so slowly. I have an Oculus CV1 and this seriously isn’t much of an improvement for the price. The wireless streaming is great, but may have issues for some, and for long sessions you will have to be tethered to something anyway since the battery holds about 2 hours. And then you’re stuck with a battery strapped to your skull while wired to something else. The lenses don’t give the screen door effect, but the resolution doesn’t feel massively improved. Frame rate is 90 which is the bare minimum. FOVs are based on IPD so you end up with that classic VR binocular vision unless you have eyes like a deer.In summary, we’re still in early adopter territory for VR. $1000 today doesn’t get you anything much better than $1000 did 5 years ago. There has not been a truly next-gen PCVR headset made yet and this isn’t it either. I guess people use these for business or something and I truly don’t understand how or why, but apparently that’s what these are geared for. So if that’s you, this is probably the best headset on the market. For everyone else living in 2023 and not in Zuckerberg’s weird metaverse fantasies, it’s just okay and I can’t necessarily recommend it to anyone as an upgrade. Image-wise, there’s better headsets for PCVR and this isn’t a budget option, so unless you’re extremely interested in the wireless aspect or want something standalone, I’d go with something else.

Pricey but sturdy

A major improvement over Quest 2, the pancake lenses are a good upgrade. It still feels somewhat heavy but the padding distributes the weight so much better than a Quest 2. I can wear this for hours and not feel tired. There’s good software to view your PC screens and while there’s limited apps for face tracking it works well in places like Horizon.

Unbelievably Uncomfortable

I used the word uncomfortable… uh… lightly. I’ve been a full time vr user since April 2020. As you can guess, I’ve worn quite a few different headsets and brands. I have nearly 10k hours in my vr game. I am used to vr.Anyway.I’ve used vr for maybe 10 hours at most since I got this headset a month ago. It is horrible in comfort. The way it fits and the pressure on my head gives me a migraine almost immediately. I don’t stay in vr for more than an hour because the discomfort only gets worse the longer you’re in. Also. You have to stay on the charger, or else the headset will tap out before you do. Kinda dissapointing for a headset this expensive.Pros?: face tracking.Literally the only reason I bought it was because of face tracking.If you’re wanting a headset to use for PCVR, and do not need face tracking, please buy ANY other headset.If you do want face tracking, look into buying a comfort set. A lot of people recommend it, I thought theu were being dramatic, no. Default quest pro is a nightmare.

it is a step up

I feel like this one is a much better buy then the quest 3 I know the price is higher but I like the way it fits better on my head and I love that I can recharge the controllers with the head set. I also find with the eye track setting the device doesn’t make me as sick as the quest 3 does. I don’t get sick from the device that much but sometimes it does happen. you can buy motion sickness pills from the store to help with that. it comes with eye seal attachments I haven’t really needed them yet . the speakers are perfect at the loudest setting , it drowns out everything downside is if someone is trying to talk to you they need to be really loud to be able to get your attention.

Black magic

What is the quest pro? I’ve been using it over a year, I use it mostly for pcvr games. I had some problems with the controllers in the past but with a few tweaks in my router settings to a single channel, also the new updates made the controllers more stable it’s very rare when they drift. Aside from that playing it on a 6e router with a good PC with face tracking and with optional 3rd party full body tracking feels like witchcraft. If you want face tracking for vrchat you need virtual desktop, vrcft software and a vrcft compatible avatar. The cv1 was my previous headset and the quest pro is the new standard of VR headsets at least for me anyway.

A great headset if you can afford the cost.

Just wrote a really cool and long review detailing everything and then it got deleted causei went to a new page by mistake so now short an simply.rating – 4/5 stars lost 1 star ONLY because of the high price.Display – 10/10 absolutely stunningBattery – 2-3 hours ( i dont use face or eye tracking) this is further boosted by a small attachable battery pack I bought so for me its around 5hours+ of gameplay.Feel and quality – Very Premium and really nicePrice – 3/10 A fat L, would only buy if you really want it. If not just wait for quest 3.Usage – I only used with AirLink and Steam VR (worked amazing, did look up a YouTube video on how to fully optimize it which made it from a 6/10 experience to a 10/10 AMAZING experience!)Controllers – 100000/10 amazing tracking and works wonders, only lost tracking twice when opening and closing the menu, should be fixable with software updates.Color passthrough – Really nice that I don’t have to take off my headset if I want a drink or to do something real quick. cant read shit but overall I only use it if I need to do some thing minor in the real world.Charging plate – Mad in love with the charging plate, its sleek, premium, and compact and sits on my desk really nicely.Overall really pleased with this headset, how ever if you are contemplating getting it and are on the edge for the cost and you already have a VR headset that works fine, then I say just wait the 6months give or take for the quest 3 to come out. Basically should be the same just without facial tracking.

Overpriced, but necessary

I’d give this a 5 star rating if it wasn’t for the price. Functionally, the light blocker dramatically increases the overall immersion offered by the Quest Pro; I highly recommend it if you’re especially sensitive to distractions, prefer dark room VR or want a fully enclosed and immersive experience.Quality of the product is good, but you will encounter a minor issue with using this product with lens inserts (at least of the VR Optician variety). The bottom piece of the gasket will stick out a bit as it rests near an area where the lens inserts clamp on. It’s not a deal breaker and it barely impacts the functionality of the product, but it is worth mentioning.The price is the only gripe I have. $50 for a non-complicated piece of rubber and a few magnetic seems way overpriced.Still, overall, worth it for a lot of VR enthusiasts.

Rift S is Better

I wanted to love this headset. Truly. But it has too many downsides:- Less comfortable than my rift s- Due to no DisplayPort, requires 1.6k graphics card + motherboard + power unit to be able to take advantage of the pixels in the displays. With a DisplayPort this wouldn’t be a problem. The graphics card has to encode/decode the signal since it’s sending it through USB. While I liked wireless, I don’t like it as much as I like 4,000.- Did I mention how uncomfortable this was? It was much better with a full face mask on the rift s- Light leakage galore. Even with a rediculously overpriced piece of thin silicone you still get leakage on the nose.- “well, I’ll just turn down the lights to solve the leakage” you think. No, you won’t because then the controls won’t track.- software is super buggy. Even with the lights on the controllers spaz out, point in the wrong directions, etc- want to connect to your computer? That’s like 5 clicks every time, nested inside of settings —> devices —> link —> select computer —> connect and then wait for a buggy load of the old quest software. Why are these two separate softwares?- Want to change settings? Well there’s the quest mobile settings, the quest link settings, airlink settings, quest debug tool settings, and oculus desktop app settings. Good luck.- The visuals are really not THAT much better than the rift s. Maybe with 4k blasted on new everything on a computer, but frankly a 2080 should be more than enough and it’s not because no display port was added.- Dim display. Found myself wanting to turn the brightness up but surprise, that’s not in any of the 4 settings menus.Again, I REALLY wanted to like this headset so much. I’m excited for the tech. I just don’t want a 1k tech demo with 300 dollars of accessories to make it usable and 3k of computer equipment to actually fully use my 1k headset because of no display port while I have to fiddle with janky disparate software and 4 overlapping settings menus. Really hope they nail this with the O3 or a Pro 2 headset. Please make it comfortable. Go back to the full ski mask.

AMAZING. Completely disagree with people saying it’s over-priced.

People will spend $2k on a great TV or monitor, and yet take issue with a headset that is a standalone device with crystal clear lenses, great FOV, eye tracking, face tracking, and amazing controllers costing $1500.I can see why. Consumers had the bar set too low in terms of pricing with the Quest 2. At the end of the day this IS a premium device. Working inside the quest 2 is uncomfortable and the lenses make it so that you have to move your head to look around. The lenses on the pro are so clear that you can just move your eyes.This product is a step forward, as it gives developers everything they need to work towards a next-gen experience.Local dimming, foveated rendering, and color passthrough for AR.Sure, the resolution could be higher – but reading 12 pt font is still plenty comfortable. By the way, even though it’s lower than the Quest 2 in terms of total pixels, there are still more pixels per degree (the metric that actually matters).If you just want it for PCVR – it might not be worth it, but if you want to work and experiment with a device (and also want to play some games), this thing is AMAZING.

Major upgrade that doesn’t feel major

The first thing that I will say is that, even though it’s a major upgrade from the quest 2 the pro doesn’t shine as much as you would expect. Maybe they haven’t done enough to this point to take full advantage of the hardware. As other users have said, there definitely is a sharper image when you’re looking on a different areas. The edges are definitely more defined. Watching videos off your computer is definitely a little sharper. Although the visuals are definitely welcomed, they’re not enough to justify the price tag. The games are a little bit sharper, but you still have the old games. There’s nothing gnu as far as games or apps, or anything along those lines. The pass-through is definitely much better with color added, but it is so blurry that it’s almost unusable for things in the room even though you can use it, it’s basically the black-and-white version but now in color that being said, there is a virtual desktop that comes along with the pro that allows you to use your desktop on a computer using the pass-through it is very easy to see your keyboard and your mouse. The image is sharp enough to see the keys nowhere to put your fingers on the keys. You may not be able to see the letters on the keys very well, but you know if you type for a long time where the keys are by memory, so with the display of your curtains, pewter desktop up and visual images of the keyboard and mouse. It is definitely usable VR version of your computer. However, I things like your phone or TVs or any other images that show on the screen are so bright that you can’t even use them so if you’re setting up a virtual desktop for your computer to use basically the only thing you’re gonna be able to use is your computer and things within the VR headset overall the price tag is pretty steep, but it is definitely will worth an investment. I added the full light blocker and it works fairly well. I never use the side blockers I went straight to the full blocker. I have noticed that you have to tighten the headset to keep it on your head. It can’t be loose or it drops down below your eyes when it’s tightened, it does leave an impression on your forehead. It would be nice if there was a top strap that went over the top of your head so you didn’t have to tighten it as tight. I do like the fact that the controllers have chargeable batteries in the dock is pretty nice , overall I think this is a good purchase, even though I think the price tag was pretty steep

Wait, but if you can’t, Nice.

I got myself a M.Quest 2 to use Quill, I am an animator, and while Steam has some art tools; some of them okay; — none do what Quill, which is basically Tilt Brush for animation in VR, full send, copy and paste Goro Fujita, and you’ll likely buy one of these as well. I wish it weren’t the case, but in the end, I was so surprised, coming from an index no less, by the quality of features AND make of the metaquest 2 on the price point; that I decided the flaws were worth the hassle to return and retry that purchase with the big boy version here, and with the foveated rendering, and, if you are developer minded, the OPTION to have that open gap at the bottom, is absolutely awesome for AR dev.It does FOV better than MQ2, but the FOV slide on the lenses is still manual which makes me uncomfortable every time I put my hand near the lens to shove it over, the one time you should need to, or so- but also, I will be looking for some kind of lens protection because while these lenses are bigg, and have FOV kind of very well covered along with the eye-track-foveated rendering helping the image, it’s either that nothing because I really cannot say I trust the upper light blocker/glasses guard to prevent scratching. No confidence there, just a precaution, though there are means like lens caps out there that while not absolutely 100% perfect do keep a daily driver from a scratch on the lens, and your soul after it happens.Otherwise, I find the most important functionality of this headset to be like, a console version of a hanheld. Like, if they actually had made a Switch PRO, this also earns that pro name. MOST of everything is better, but I think they may have been serious about that PRO marketing because, the lower lack of light blocking included, and the way it sits on a dock to be able to charge the controllers makes me think this is an odd one out.This is to say it’s mixed; depending exactly on how much very small, (very) detail choices bother you. Like, the having to buy a light blocker, where, natively, I kind of enjoy the available open down-view space, as that is by design for AR work, and for me, functions as I move around my narrow apartment like a cyber ninja and my Index quietly weeps tethered to the PC forever. It’s strange now to think of the Index as an “ah, sure, the older model, yeah, those were good, they don’t have some of your standards now, but it’ll get ya by”, given how many features the Oculus / Meta Pro / Quest 2 sets add, and how robust and dependable and, remarkably built they are, as a notable stand out. Like, you can, (don’t) but you CAN, drop a controller and come back from it (don’t, buy a silicone protector, you loon), and that rules, because not since the Duke of VR controllers, the Vive Wand, have controllers not SHATTERED in my hands, or out of them, on first or second or no drop at all. Quality thumsticks, good buttons, GOOD spring resistance, not sure about the cameras, but heck okay.Speaking of cameras, the passthrough is acceptable, remarkable if you’re like alright, I know it’s not perfect, but is it better than the index? Flat? yes, not leaps and bounds in the visual quality department, in a way I figured mentioning was worth the read if you’re this far. Like, this predicates itself on being mixed reality or AR for work, and, I just want to say that while the image quality and stereoscopic imaging is faste enough for me to dart around my narrow apartment; it is NOT a gopro at the same time in image quality either, so, do not expect the monitor quality in the cameras.THANKFULLY, while not exactly that good, it’s getting very close these days in the resolution, in wireless and in the customizeable link mode and, I am so late to this headset it feels like I should suggest you wait for the next Valve headset rumored for 23 or 24, or for the meta quest 3 / pro 2 for haptics, foveated rendering 2, but, as a person who crosses these bridges as they come apparently; I’m working in Quill much more happily and quickly in here.
