- Here is my ULTIMATE Oculus/ Meta Quest 2 Guide for 2022 and 2023.
Lots of new VR headsets are coming out and now the most popular VR headset of all time is about to have some very real competition from companies like Pico and Sony. Here is how you can increase your comfort, field of view, and also increase your enjoyment while in VR to hopefully spend more time IN VR as well!
Here are the links to everything in this video, some are cheap, some are a little more expensive, but any of them will make you have a better time.

Just a quick update here!
It's come to my attention by Guy Godin (developer of Virtual Desktop) that the TP-Link router I initially recommended in the description is prone to long term failures! The description has now been updated to reflect that!
Thank you! and Much love!
no problem! And thank you for all these updates! keep up the good work
......i have this and more, is the mod setup although the htc vive straps with the headphones do not accommodate either my deaf ass or bass heavy songs on beatsaber
ok
Did you ever come up with the all on one solution for facial interface for increase fov
Still insane to me how fast vr has grown since 2016.
6 years indeed went by
Idk I thought it would have grown more by now. More and more I agree with the idea that AR is gonna change the world and that VR will be just a niche inside another niche (gaming)
i was huge proponent of VR back in 2016, owned all the headsets and easily introduced hundreds of people to their first VR experience... but IMO roughly 2017 was the year VR peaked with HTC Vive Pro 2 + wireless adapter + GearVR Lens Mod, and 5 years later nothing has really changed and been extremely stale.
It suck in a loop yes the vr headsets are getting better but the content is relatively the same and there isn't any must have vr games yet
It hasn't really grown that much other than you don't need to be rich to jump into it. If eye tracking/foveated rendering gets perfected and is the norm I think it will really start to ramp things up since ultra high end VR won't require as much horsepower. At the end of the day it's about the games though. More companies other than FB will need to sink a lot of cash into game development. Another option would be to hire Praydog.
Well done. This video is greatly appreciated for two reasons, 1. It gives credit where credit is due. It is truly a fair and appropriately positive review of the Quest , and 2. It encourages users to extend the life of their device. Too often we see promotions to get the newest and latest technology. However, we are becoming too much of a throw away economy and society. This video successfully shows how you can enjoyably utilize the Quest 2 for a couple more years. This also can increase VR usage as people may be more inclined to purchase a used Quest 2 knowing the product has a longer useful life.
Again thank you for a highly practical video. All your videos are well delivered and appear well researched. Keep up the good work!
Hi Thrill, Two years ago at the height of the pandemic I started watching your videos, you managed to inject your emotion and enthusiasm towards virtual reality into me. I bought my first quest 2, it changed my life for the better. Thank you!
Babe wake up, new Thrillseeker video
every content creator can agree, this type of comment, is the best thing your community can say
,,honey stop saying dumbass things, you arent even making any sense!'
Wednesday newsday
@@schmoreyou sounded like a bot💀💀💀
@@snooseyoulosehe didn’t
@@yousifahmed5190 to me he did? Opinion? Damn
I love my quest 2. Every time I put it in its like diving into another world. I never get over it.
Same 👍
Thank you so much for putting this together. I love the fact that you are so enthusiastic about making VR better. So, all your recommendations are tried and tested by you. I have finally managed to recreate your setup and it’s heavenly.
Man, it’s so cool to see how far vr has already come. Just a few years ago, games like half life alyx were completely inconceivable. It’s gonna amazing to see where from here!
For the best content in VR, I come here! You go thrill 🌴
The special order lenses are amazing. It took my experience to a new level. From not being able to read anything to everything being somewhat clear.
“Somewhat clear” 🤣
Always thank you for your content. It seems you can feel the wait is coming to and end. Thank you for being with me and many more people until now. I love you Thrill !
hey thrill, i’m watching this on my way to the mental hospital and i love your videos and it popped up at the perfect time thank you for being so awesome
Went for the full BOBO VR;
m2 pro, f2, modded the VR cover faceplate for the f2.
Base station for charging and a small charger dock (i.e 12 hours game time if wanting to).
And some printed mountable ear pieces to fit my senheiser.
how's it working for ya
I love the Bobo. It feels like soft silky pillows on my head. The design of how the battery sits is built really well, and the magnet is strong so it has a nice solid connection.
I have a giant head so the boba hardly fits me but better than spending 150 on elite strap lol
They kind of copyrighted our last name and we need to sue them and demand them to change the product name.
I would enjoy watching a "fun but don't need it" video about accessories if for no other reasons than to dream about the possibilities, and hear your take on them of course.
Me too
Yes
You know what else would change the quest 2 in an incredible significant way? VR gloves! More specifically the Lucid VR gloves that are actually really cheap. Saw you made a post about the prototype 5 on your community tab. Could you hint to when a video about those might come out?
Can't use them on the Quest 2. You need lighthouses to use those gloves
@@Dimondminer11 Wdym? They are pcvr gloves that also can use quest 2 controllers for tracking. You don't need base stations.
isn't meta making vr gloves
@@lazyproeagle It is, but it will probably cost in the thousands. Definitely not for consumer use. The gloves I'm talking about can be made for about 60$ per pair. Maybe even cheaper.
VR gloves are nice and all but VR is already a niche market. don't think there's really a market for expensive VR accesories when they still have trouble selling VR to the masses.
don't get me wrong it would be cool but I'm not sure focusing on things like VR gloves or treadmills should really be a priority.
also handtracking? do we even need gloves if they manage to improve that some more? cuz right now it's in the very early stages and very few games/apps actually implement it but it would be way more accessible than expensive VR gloves with lighthouses and shit
Dude this is the exact video I needed I have recently been researching about quest accessories and I honestly could not find anything but I saw this video on my fyp and it was exactly what I need, truly thank you.
Sauce pfp?
Great distillation of the most impactful accessories. I have several of these, didn’t know about the low latency Bluetooth adapter. Going to try that for sure.
I'll one up you on the facial interface FOV trick. I use my rift S entirely without facial interface, getting the lenses so close to my eyes that the FOV is easily as big as an Index (I've compared).
It's only possible because of the halo headstrap design that makes the rift S so comfortable, thought. I taped some black cardboard cutouts to the side to block out ambient light, and voila, the most comfortable high FOV version of the Rift S ever made.
Very concise video and alot of the stuff recommended is recommended by a majority of the community. Love the video and hope you continue to do great content like this.
Just wanted to stop and thank you Whenever I first got into vr "quest2" a few years back. I saw one of your videos talking about the larger library of games on steam versus quest. I did end up getting a couple games on the oculus platform but very quickly ended up biting the bullet and building a full gaming rig. Now most of my library is all on steam not to mention having the versatility of jumping on my rig whenever I'm just not up for diving In to VR. This was probably one of the best suggestions I ever got makes it so much easier to upgrade hardware and not lose all my games and progress. So again thank you for grate advice and a easy and fun place to keep up to date on everything.
Hey Thrill, thanks a lot for making an ultimate Quest 2 update, it's great to know you're always on top of things.
And since I'm already here, thanks for everything you do, I personally just really like having a reliable source for my interests. Love you!
lol
Your right :D
As always a top notch video Thrill!
I've been rocking the BOBOVR M2 since it first came out so was a little sad when the pro released as the headstrap is soooo awesome. Thankfully I've just bought the battery pack adapter for the OG strap so I don't need to buy the pro!🥳
Hats off to BOBO, as you said it's so adjustable and it's also really strong but lightweight. 😃
I just bought the bobo headstrap like yesterday so im glad to hear you say good things about it
Note on the audio, you also need APTX Low Latency capable headphones to go with the adapter to get low latency audio.
With Airpods it won’t help.
Yeah, as far as I can tell, there's no such thing as truly low-latency Bluetooth. Even aptX Low Latency is nowhere near the proprietary solutions.
I understand how swapping headset companies can be a pain. I believe in the future, Oculus will eventually release another headset specifically for gaming and will be a really good headset like the quest 2. I think I'm going to stick with my Quest 2 until the Quest 3 or pro or whatever comes out.
Also, I might give that BOBO VR head strap a try. I've been using the Quest 2 pro head strap for over a year now and so far no breaks at all. My brother also had one and his broke in less than a year so I'm kind of worried about mine now. Thank you so much for all the information and all the content you have brought to your community.
I can recommend the Bobo. I went from the Pro strap like you have and it's a pretty big upgrade imo.
@@fffrrraannkk just here to second the bobo strap! The pro strap snapped in half on me twice. Got the bobo and I've been good for almost a year and a half plus its way more comfortable
The Bobo head strap is a game change
Thrill you beautiful person, you helped me solve my air link latency issues! Long story short I took your dedicated WiFi 6 router idea, and realized my desktops motherboard and WiFi antenna supported WiFi 6. All I had to do was turn on the Hotspot in Win10 and connect directly to the PC. Works like a dream now.
This was a great video to make. A way of thinking I think more people need. We all have our pros and cons about meta and the quest. But it gets more negativity than it deserves really. It is definitely a beast and is getting a lot more people into VR. Hope we see more headsets like this in the future..not just from Meta.
I use my quest 2 with the standard Bobovr M2, a vrcover facial interface and my pc headset, and it's actually really good. It can sometimes be very hard to find the right adjustments for the M2, but once you get it, you don't need to readjust. Now i'm only looking to buy the knuckle grips for the controllers and a link cable after i upgrade my pc.
Awesome! Excellent info!
MY STOCK HEAD STRAP JUST BROKE LAST NIGHT,AFTER YEARS OF SERVING ME WELL,AND THIS VIDEO WAS THE 1ST 1 THAT I LOOKED FOR
VERY HELPFUL,THANK YOU
Every video your editing gets better, amazing video, amazing content in general.
The best audio solutions for Quest 2 in my experience is Koss KSC75 ear-clip headphones and EngineeredAF clip-on headphones (Koss Porta Pro drivers). Cheap, comfortable, and very high quality sound.
In case anyone is curious, I have almost this exact setup for my Quest 2 and I can confirm it's a huge improvement over how it comes stock.
Bobo halo battery strap, spare battery and Kiwi knuckle grips (the longer handled ones). I happen to use a Bobo interface that works well for me because I favour cushioned over better FOV but that'll be down to preference.
The halo can be a little bouncy but is super comfy if you're not doing something intense so I also have their elite strap kit for more active stuff, easy to swap between the two. Two batteries are worthwhile, keep the spare charging and you effectively have unlimited playtime. Finally, the Kiwi knuckle grips are an absolute gamechanger for the stock controllers. Can't tell you how much of an improvement they are.
My only struggle has been audio, which I agree is a huge part of VR. There hasn't been a great solution for the Quest besides the VR ears which are just too pricy tbh, though they do look good.
I have a decent pair of IEMs and a super short cable which beats the stock audio but it's not ideal. I'll have to try a Bluetooth transmitter, I have a decent pair of Soundcore earbuds but I never bothered trying on the Quest due to it's issues with Bluetooth. The audio is great on them and it has passthrough so if this gets them hooked up to the Quest without much latency, I will be a very happy man!
Great stuff as always Thrill, keep it up!
great video. Have had an OG Rift CV1 since release and am now starting to shop around for a new headset.
Love some of these add ons, would love to see additional video!
i got the quest 2 a few weeks ago and im having an absolute blast with it , this is also my first vr experience
Have you played zenith or pop 1 yet? Great games, so addictive lol
Got my quest 2 on july 30. I can't stop playing beat saber lmao I have finished superhot vr, vader immortal series, played a bit of resident evil 4 as well. I still have a lot of games to finish
@@vrglcom I am in the same boat and picked up Zenith. It is everything i have been looking for in a MMO since i quit EQ back in the day
Now this is premium gaming
This is probably the best video ive seen for vr accesories. Thank you for the tips!
I don't have a quest 2 but I want one in the future because I tested it and its soooooo cool but I had some comfort problems so this video help me for my future vr headset. Thanks for making this video !
My recommendation for WiFi, coming from a professional: Unifi 6 Lite. It's got a very user-friendly app for configuration and if you feel like going deeper, you may host your own Unifi controller either in Docker/VM or cloud-hosted.
As for Audio:
FiiO BTR5 + BTA30 Pro + Any headphones you enjoy. I recommend open-back ones for the better sound stage. Also, with closed-backs you tend to talk louder since you don't hear yourself as good.
Also, a topic Thrill has not touched in this video regardless of your headset:
Get good flooring for your play space. Pro-Tip: don't look at these smaller Jigsaw tiles. Instead, look for a martial arts mat. They are basically the same but the tiles are way bigger, usually 1x1m at 3-4cm thickness. They are intended for professional use and will last a long time. You definitely save money, the bigger your play space is.
I used a UniFi 6 lite too actually, but in my opinion, it isn't super easy to set up. It's fantastic for its range, speed, and price, but I actually ended up asking a friend who know more about networking for help.
Sauce pfp?
Looks like you know what you're talking about. Might you be able to help me with my router problem? Can't seem to find a proper answer elsewhere
I bought my elite strap after the second release and it has never even cracked
I bought mine after the second release, but dealt with two broken straps and over a month of waiting for replacements. Although, the third strap is still fine after many months of use.
I’m using the default strap that broke in two different places and is held together by duct tape 😀
Excellent video! Kudos & gracias, my friend!
Please stay safe and keep up the nice content - the accompanying links are also much appreciated!
Glad you rep the grips I chose from the start I put a link in my bio to em on every video
My biggest issue is the controllers. The day we get glove controls or perfect hand tracking and interaction is the day vr will take off.
I am pretty sure Meta is looking for a hand tracking future and is working on it for the Quest 2, so it is not that unlikely that in a year or so, you can just not use your controllers at all on the same headset.
@@tinminator8905 Cambria hand tracking is repotedly so good they considered shipping with controllers separately
@@tinminator8905 IIRC Meta is developing either VR gloves or VR bracelet. IMO only using inside-out cameras for hand tracking is not enough for more action-oriented games because you can only use your hands when you can see them

Is getting better I have the go and I'm definitely going to chevy this out
great info man, keep up the solid work!
Yup I'm rocking the bobo v2. Even bought the v1 before the 2 came out it's an amazing strap
I just bought my son a quest 2 for his birthday. I played with it on the first day it arrived to set it up so he didn’t have to wait. Instantly bought myself one too 😂 they are amazing! And now I just wanna dive deeper into it!
7:48 YOOOOO STARSHIP LETTSSSSS GOOOOO I'm a huge spaceflight fan and just seeing Starship in a map has now convinced me to try Vail
this actually helped me so much because im getting a quest next Christmas and i want to know everything about it. definitely getting the head strap :)
Solid thorough video, thank you.
very helpful video using the Black friday sale to take advantage. TY
I’m *so* grateful for this video! I’ve really disliked the base quest 2 headstrap bc it feels so uncomfortable to me after anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour but didn’t really wanna spend so much extra on the official battery headband or some other random one that could fail easily. Thank you for showing me the best option for this!
Great video thanks for always making awesome content ❤
These videos fucking rule man. You have got to know how much your contributions to the VR space have helped people. Literally hundreds of thousands of people have benefitted greatly from your free content. Definitely one of my favorite creators of all time!!
this is exactly what I have been looking for!
thanks for the vid with great info!!
Love your videos and style dude!
Very very cool this is the kind of content I like how I can get the most out of my quest
Great video with excellent suggestions. Thanks!
Nice timing. I literally just started using my Quest 2 a few days ago.
It's also my first true VR experience, (I don't count Cardboard or PSVR tbh, they just weren't... it.)
I actually had this Quest for the last year, but refused to link my Facebook, so I waited til they removed the requirement.
I've been waiting since 2014 to try VR, been obsessed with VR tech for the last 8 years, so finally getting to play it is amazing!
My 2 favorite games already are Zenith and Tea For God.
Excellent video as always 💯👊🏾
I have been looking for a good audio alternative to just putting my headphones and dealing with cables.. that Bluetooth adapter looks really promising thank you so much!
The pixel density on the Quest is actually pretty incredible.
Used the Quest 2 while waiting on my Index Knuckles RMA, and after switching back to Index there was a substantial screendoor effect that I hadn't really noticed before.
Better color depth and FOV on the Index, but definitely not as high of a pixel density.
I got one yesterday. Still dealing with the motion sickness, but it's getting better very quickly.
This is the kind of video I was waiting for.
Also, yes please, make a video about haptic gear, low tier and high tier, and if possible perhaps middle tier?
You have no idea how much that would help.
if your gonna get the kiwi grips I would recommend getting the ones without the battery cover, (unless you absolutely need to be able to switch batteries as fast as possible) as someone who plays games where you have to do fast jerking movements I found the battery cover grips to be uncomfortable, as when I moved my hands fast I could feel the cover and felt the actual grip part coming out a bit because of the gaps made by the battery covers
Ha you showed off everything I have set up on my Q2 besides I have a bobovr fan good video
already sold mine a week ago. preparing for the quest pro/neo link 4 or whatever it comes! i'm f'ing ready.
dude so helpful. boutta drop like $100 on upgrades even with a vrcover and upgraded headstrap already installed. very informative
yo lets go that bobo headstrap was one best things i bought for my headset
as someone who plans on buying a headset soon, Thanks a lot !
Good Video as always!
Still use my CV1, Vive and PSVR today, and that won't change until the PSVR2, i had the Q2 but my ipd was 67mm and i got nothing but blur and glare from it, so i had no option but to return it and just stick with what worked, but i cannot complain, the Vive, deluxe strap and index knuckles are still a utter joy to this day.
Funny have the same router shown and works fine, totally correct !
The idea to make a full quest 2 accessories pack with a reasonable price is a dream for me. No more reading endless reviews. Really looking forward to it😁
Always love it
Yes please do a video on accessories and your thoughts on them
I remember as a kid being excited that i was able to be in a place without physically being there through cardboard vr, then i went on and tried several mobile vr headsets always wanting something greater. I've had the quest 2 now for almost a year and what i'm yearning for now and i think the end point i wanna reach is fulldive. I just want to experience actually feeling like being in a place just like one of my favorite manga series shang-ri la frontier. Can't wait untill vr reaches that type of immersion
thanks for the video
This was really helpful, thanks Thrill
Yep same setup with bobvr and grips .. both must haves
Thanks for the upload!
Heart felt one, your awesome. id say more but what else need be said. Thanks
I rock the same build without battery.
It is the most comfortable Quest 2 I ever used.
that head strap is literally the same one I bought after buying a cheap one 2 years ago only thing is I bent the top of those pads cause they were hurting my head but after that it's been nothing but perfect didn't know there was gonna be an updated one that was so versatile I'm gonna buy this I think
I'm planning on getting that bobo battery strap later this week. My cloth strap ended up breaking on the plastic tightening strip, and I want the bobo one because the price is relatively cheap and I've heard many, many good things about it!
Good video.. thanks for the info..
Great vid! I’d love to see an updated game recommendation video
Great list. I actually had most of these even though I've only had my Quest 2 for a couple of weeks. I kind of hate spending the money right now since the Quest 3 probably isn't too far down the road, but at least what I have is as comfortable and immersive as possible.
Thank you I've been looking for a good head strap
Been using the bobo strap for 6 months now its a good headstrap
hey I'm a quest user, and use my quest for PCVR. I have invested huge money into VR with vive tracker 3.0s, basestation 2.0s, and am even about to get a haptic suit, but the one area I didn't think about spending my money was on a better wifi router. After watching this video and the part where you mention getting a wifi 6 router, I got up and walked out of my room to look at my current wifi set up in the living room and realized I had only a very cheap company provided modem with built in router functionality, and it all clicked. Why my VR experience was still suffering so much even when I have a high end gaming pc, and the best FBT money could buy. I had bad internet and had never bothered to use decent hardware to help with the problem. I immediately started making plans with my roommates to buy a new router, everyone agreed on which one to buy and 80$ and a day later, I had my hands on a wifi 6 router. When I tell you it made a difference, I mean it made a huge difference. HUGE. I'm so glad I bought it! Thank you so much Thrill, I really needed this advice!
I dont mind the stock head strap either, but was looking for an alternative as well as a new face gasket so that video is perfectly timed, thanks! :D
A neat trick for people who use lan cable but have a wifi addaptor you can use the hotspot from windows to connect your vr to that gets like 5-10ms latency with a 5ghz hotspot!
Great list Thrill! I'd just add a case to put the headset, battery and accessories. As small as possible while still being able to fit everything without disassembling it...
I have recently just bought some of these upgrades to my Occulus Q2. The Bobo VR head strap is a must for comfort and just overall fit. I also with that bought a Vr Cover Oasis face plate for a more hygenic cover for the Occulus. The last upgrade, I am waiting to come in is VR lenses From VRwave, as a gut that has to wear my glasses while playing Vr it really subtracts from the comfort and playtime that I have. So I bit the bullet and will be trying Prescription lenses for the quest. as soon as they come in I will let ya know how they work and help with comfort and FOV
Another banger! Think I'll have to get those controller grips...
Rechargeable AA batteries are a no brainer for me. I also got a facial interface kit from Kiwi and Kiwi controller straps. Kept running into latency issues with ISP modem/router, upgraded to an AC1900 router made a huge difference for wireless PC VR with Virtual Desktop....all with a Quest 1
