Apple Vision Pro Review After 1 Month... By a VR Enthusiast
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- I’ve been using the Apple Vision Pro for over a month now and I finally feel ready to share my full review from the perspective of a fervent VR user (or you may call me an addict :P).

► PlayStation Pulse Explore on NewEgg (14% off): howl.me/clXeKH90T2X

I bought the headset myself which has only cost me five kidneys... ;) but since then I've been on a non-stop expedition into the unknown territories of Apple's first XR headset. So I'll be sharing the usual techy stuff, visual quality, overall performance, However, I’ll primarily be focusing on the experience, the stuff you can do, and what has surprised me, both good and bad, because I think that’s the most interesting part of a VR headset review. If you stick around until the end, I’ll let you know if I’m keeping my headset.
Happy April Fool's Day and enjoy the NewEgg sale!

"Not a yolk." lol
It feels like a great device somewhat hampered by being stuck in the Apple ecosystem. Like you say, you want to use it with your gaming PC for editing... But you can't. You want to use two or more Mac screens, but you can't. You want to use VR but they stick you to one spot and forcing Steam VR integration with controllers is painful. You maybe want to use other apps, but you are stuck with iPad ones.
You want to use your own peripherals, but you are stuck using the expensive apple ones they want you to buy.
Shrug!
I guess that is the price you pay for the cool integration across apple applications. But is only for people who are dyed-in-the-wool apple already. I don't see there being a lot of non-apple people being dragged into VR and switching to all apple devices with this device. Which is a bit of a shame.
Will it go the same way as other enterprise niche products like Xtal, varjo XR3 etc. or will those products get across OS integrations in windows / linux / steamOS? off the back of Apple showing how it can be done?
Also has Vision Pro seen a European release yet?
Best review I’ve seen yet. Thank you for spending the time to really use the device.
I am really appreciating the longer use reviews. This review was well worth the time and effort you put into it. I am 6 months in with my Quest 3 and have found myself using it more and more as I gain a higher level of comfort with both productivity applications and as a day to day tool and am starting to play with Immersed - not to mention the more comfortable feel of the headset and much better optics. I combine the Quest 3 with BoboVR's S3 strap and really love it without the face gasket. I have been having a great time with From Other Suns lately. It makes me want the visual fidelity of the AVP, but I am content with the screens and displays at the price point. I am thinking my next headset might have to wait for the Valve Deckard - which I am thinking will be an automatic purchase.
I just wish meta would make the quest 3 with better screens, even if it's a little extra, I would pay for it
at least 2800x2800 would have been nice for 3d photo and videos
I did go to an Apple store and demo it. The eye/hand tracking and visual fidelity are exceptional. However, as an Android phone , Windows PC user, and gamer, I would not get full use from the headset. Then there was the weight and how much of a relief I felt to be able to take it off (solo knit band).
I doubt Apple will ever make a headset for individuals like me, as I will never give up the freedom of Android and the gaming chops of a Window's PC, to limit myself to just Apple's ecosystem. But I do appreciate that Apple released a headset. It lends real legitimacy to VR as a platform and I can't wait to see what Meta and other VR manufacturers bring out to compete with it.
Agreed. Apple is Apple, and whatever "that" means, they have been leading mainstream user friendly tech for years.
@@ryanmanley1827 man it saddens me, they mainstreamed the visual interface,firewire, Macintosh, ipod, iPhone, iTunes.... Tim Apple has made it services and greedy planned obsolescence shit company 😔😔.
Considering the cost of the Vision Pro, the extended review is truly appreciated!
Would I buy the Vision Pro? Nah, can't afford it. Would I love to have it if it was close to a 1000$? Quite likely, yes. As someone who is not as much a gamer as a productivity person, a portable monitor replacement (or a 'spatial computer') which doubles as a movie and entertainment device is definitely a win-win. And I'm pretty much in the Apple ecosystem with an iPhone and Mac, so it's a brilliant addition. Would I choose between this and the Quest 3? Nah. If I can afford a 3500$ headset I can afford to have a Q3 as well, with it and use it for gaming and fun stuff. If I can't afford a 3500$ headset, I can still afford a Q3 and get a Vision Pro at some point :)
This is my first time commenting on youtube in years. The quality of this review is leaps and bounds beyond any of the generic tech youtubers I tried watching. I feel like I finally understand what this device can do and what it's like using it! Thank you so much. Very excited for completely new dimensions in software that this is going to unlock.
This has made my day. Thanks for commenting and for watching 🥰
This is a great video, thank you for making it - and taking the time to actually use the device before posting a review. It's a shame about the comfort, as that's a complete deal breaker to me. I finally got the Quest 3 to where I can wear it for a couple of hours, but this sounds like quite the step backwards, which was expected with the metal and glass build. Overall, this review really makes me look forward to the AVP2.
I've enjoyed your videos for years now, and congrats on the Newegg sponsorship.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
It's possible to have the audio from an app surround you instead of coming from where it is placed. If you open Control Center then press and hold on the volume adjustment, this will bring up a window where you can per-app adjust some Spatial Audio settings, including an option for it to treat your head as "fixed" (this essentially allows spatial audio as if the window was always directly in front of you) or even just set to stereo sound from that app.
Wow, thank you! I'll give this a try!
Wonderful Review! Enjoy this one a ton!
I really appreciate your breakdown of the headset. My wife and I recently got Quest 2 and 3 headsets and are loving them. I’m pretty deep in the Apple ecosystem, but I want to wait a few revisions before jumping into Apple’s VR world.
Thanks for mentioning the IR Illumination device. I have ordered one.
great review!
Nice review, thank you for your honest opinion.
Looking forward to see how this tech evolves to become more viable and affordable for average tech users.
Thanks Cas and Chary XR.
I have had mine for about a month now and am still learning with it but I do like it very much.
I've followed your channel for some time now as I'm very much into VR. (I have the "Go", Quest 1, 2 and 3 and the Lenovo Mirage Solo.) Most of the time I'm using the headsets for PC VR by the way. I'm also heavily invested in the Apple eco system. (I'm a retired computer tech.). This review was the most useful one for me so far on the Vision Pro. (All your reviews are quite good.). I've really wanted to buy this headset but can't justify the cost. I too will be interested in how you see it after a few months. Good work as usual.
I bought a ps5, psvr2 and quest 3 and a RTX4070 last year, I cant afford anything more. But I think it will come down in price
Best review I have seen so far, much better than MKBHD
Great video… I’m waiting to see what’s in store for Vision OS 2 before I repurchase one.
Awesome review Cas! Can't wait for the price to come down.
Me too, it'd be amazing to work with people in these headsets when they get cheaper.
I love my Apple Vision Pro. I don’t have any of the uncomfortable problems that other people do. I was wondering, where did you get your IR illuminator?
I'm really impressed with the innovations in the Vision Pro! Currently, I'm an iPhone user, but I'm holding off on getting the Vision Pro for now. The main deterrent for me is the price point, and since I'm primarily a PC user, I wouldn't be able to utilize its full potential. However, I'm excited about exploring other options like the Vizor from Immersed. At least based on the specs it seems like a great alternative, and together with the Quest 3, it looks like I'll be well-equipped for the foreseeable future (at least until the fall lol). Can't wait to see how these technologies evolve!
Great review, I would love to try the headset ones. But for now my quest 3 will do fine. 😊🙏and if you ever are open to allow 😂a fellow Dutch to try it, I would love to
Great review Cas. I think I'd prefer glasses for productivity and a headset for gaming. Looking forward to other devices adapting the good tech from this headset enhancing the market as a whole.
Everything i watch about the vision pro just makes me want more infos about samsung and google's headset! I know it will take a while because they basically had to re-work the whole thing after they saw the vision pro but i can't wait!!
Those egg puns had me laughing my butt off hahaha
I just got a Quest 3 instead coz of all the hype around MR... so filled it up with movies and also use it for a screen for my Mac.... I used my Google Pixel in Daydream VR a long time ago and that's my benchmark.... Quest 3 is awesome! I use the Quest for UA-cam... and browsing the web and socials... so it works really well for me...
I’ve been on the fence about buying the AVP when it becomes available in Canada but now it comes down to when it’s available in Canada. With today’s earthquake in Taiwan the supply chain is in question and it might not be available for a year. If that’s the case I’ll wait another two years for the next models.
I don't really understand why these reviews never consider that one of the biggest features, the mac virtual display, is pointless without a mac, so if you don't have one a huge plus of the device just isn't there.
The price alone makes this out of the question for me but apart from that It would need to have native PCVR support and controllers for me to even consider it. The resolution is what I expected the Quest 3 to have when it came out. The Q3 specs were so disappointing to me.
The Quest 3 specs were disappointing to me as well - but I bought one anyways, and after using it a while, then going back and testing out my Quest 2, I can say with confidence that the Quest 3 is very much a full upgrade and a much better device. The resolution bump is fine, but it's the new lenses that make a big difference, they're just more clear - I guess that's how I'd describe it, but in any case, they're better, more so than the spec bump would make you believe. I bough the Q3 expecting to play with it for a few weeks and return it, but kept it, and have been using it more and more, in particular once I got that BoboVR battery head strap, that makes it so much more comfortable. But the color pass through cameras with its huge bump in quality makes the headset a lot more usable, a lot more than I would have thought as I didn't think I cared about AR at all. Also the few Q3 games out there that take advantage of the hardware are, much to my surprise, absolutely a generational leap. Red Matter 2, in particular, is really impressive and shows off what it can do. Anywho, I just was updating the Quest 2 the other day, since I haven't used it in a while, and it made me really appreciate how good the Quest 3 is.
@@rodmunch69 Compared to my old Pico 4 it was just not worth it based on the specs. If they had been at least 2560x2560 per eye then I'd upgrade.
@@tahustvedt specs vs reality. In reality, the pancake lenses were a huge upgrade. As for the Pico 4 - well, I want a unit that actually has support and isn't going to be abandoned weeks after buying it. And if all I wanted was PCVR, well I already have a bunch of those.
Does the *paltalk app* work on AVP ?
21 Savage - Redrum, i see you 🤣😎👍🏽
It’s a pity yet that you can’t have a keyboard overlay especially in full immersion and I’m a bit disappointed that the AVP does not support Bluetooth mouse yet
You created an excellent review, Cas! Thank you so much for taking the time to cover all the features. Fantastic work as always, and thanks for sharing clips of the adorable Milky Way! Here’s my prediction for the near future: Apple is getting everyone used to having the external battery because they will eventually move the compute over to the battery pack… kind of like an über-iPhone without a display… which will allow them to shrink the headset smaller & lighter, while still delivering high performance. Once they’re able to further shrink down the contents of the compute / battery pack without sacrificing performance, they will then move all of that inside the headset. Just a prediction… 🤷♀️ maybe there will be a major battery breakthrough in the next few years that would change everything! 😂 Anyway, my point is that, with some future Vision Pro iteration, they will make a cellular model which could then start cannibalizing iPhone sales. (We already know the Vision Pro will likely cannibalize iPad Pro sales.) So instead of carrying around an iPhone + Vision Pro (with external compute / battery pack) + battery bank, you would remove needing to carry your iPhone. What do you think?
I'm waiting for something cheaper from Apple with no battery dongle and social apps. Plus I saw a video showing how much the eyes are getting scanned from the devise. It can't be good for the eyes.
Will you review the Somnium vr1 soon hopefully 😊🙏
Imagine a world with $3500 VR headsets that can’t even play VR games.
I’m of the opinion that these companies have working prototypes of significantly more advanced AT and VR tech than we have yet to see up to this point. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be trying as hard to develop ecosystems and design language for such a niche segment of the market. I’m sure these prototypes cost are massive… hundreds of thousands per unit potentially let alone millions in costs of development and such. BUT, they just don’t think, they KNOW that they will have consumer level options by the 2030’s and the first one to make the “iPhone of VR goggles” will have a new billion dollar industry to play in.
What title of the background music please
Great Review! What you mentioned of having to redo the eye tracking calibration a few times a day looks like a REAL deal breaker. Is that accurate that you need to recalibrate a few times a day
In the beginning yes, but they've since then improved it and I haven't found myself recalibrating it that much anymore. You still need to do it sometimes, though, especially when you move your headset around for comfort.
@@CasandChary Does that mean that every time you take it off and put it back on that you need to recalibrate as it's not in the exact same spot as originally calibrated?
Something I noticed is that people did not want to try the PSVR or Quest HMD's but everyone wanted to try the Apple Vision Pro.
I believe there is a name for that? starts with a C and end in a ult
ConsULT?@@lonesn1per
werkt de vision pro in nederland dan?
Are you using the right mic? Audio quality sounds really muffled.
My PC is acting up I think as I noticed this too when editing. Will do better next time
@@CasandCharydefinitely check it for the next video, to me it was clipping, could be a cable or connector
Hey CAS, something was off about the quality of your voice in this one. Did you perhaps use too much noise reduction?
Really wonder when Apple will create a control for this headset. Despite not being market for gaming they're slowly adding them.. plus it would be a waste not to see a headset of this caliber run SteamVR natively.
They have a track record of simply adding compatibility with existing hardware when it comes to gaming, instead if making new tech. So for example they added compatibility for basically every mainstream and even some obscure game controllers when Apple Silicon came out. So even if they don’t create a controller they will likely add drivers for compatibility.
How does your eyes feel?
You talked about using a IR ILLUMINATOR but you didn’t state which one. I bought Univivi U6R but when it came in it says for security cameras. Will this work to use Vision Pro in the dark?
Idk about that one. This is the one I use: ► IR Illuminator In EU: amzn.eu/d/bIf8pni
Doesn't come with a power adapter so you need to buy that separately.
The one recommended to me is, but wasn't available here: amzn.to/3TnA3Lw
@@CasandChary Thank-you, I ordered the one that was recommended to you.
great video. I love to watch your review.
I tried in Apple store for 30 minutes demo. I think my expectation was too high: I was not impressed by its visual clarity. also eye tracking is somewhat annoying. and personally it does not fit me good - I have big head.
I feel best with PS VR2 or any Halo style VR set. so I guess no matter how much it is.. I cannot enjoy this device.
and I think this device is clearly not for gamer. I appreciate UI design of Apple Vision pro but I think it is just expensive toy for regular power user without any serious gaming intention.
I will stick with my Quest 3. it is the best until someone bring better resolution or OLED with same resolution.
Thanks for the video. Really great and imformative review. From your video, I could tell that the headset is very refined, especially towards certain things. As I'm more of a VR gamer and not a part of the Apple ecosystem, I'll have to pass. But the headset seems really great for those that can afford it.
Could you please provide a link to your $20 IR illuminator (@9:50) ? Nice video, thanks.

@@CasandChary Thanks !
Follow-0n comment - I bought the illuminator mentioned in this video and it was utterly useless. I sent it back the next day. It made absolutely zero difference in how the VP behaved in either dim or low light, no matter where I placed it or pointed it. Total waste of time.
Fantastic video, thank you.
The price is the only problem really. Other than that it’s a solid mixed reality headset with really nice features. But making the consumer regret the purchase is unforgivable
Everyone must remember, this is a 1st Gen product, just think about the first MacBook or iPhone.
Seeing “1 month later” in the title gave a lot of us the wrong impression. Like that you were going to go more in depth about if it was worth it to use it after a month and it it lived up to your expectations in some areas. Comfort was going to be a huge deal to hear about. But we just kinda got a long winded review going over capabilities 🤷♂️
Please do a review of Horizon Forbidden West in VR (Luke Ross). I remember when you reviewed HZD in VR. I really enjoyed that game in VR. Hopefully my 3080 can play the new one in VR too.
So what's the killer app? The raison d'être? I follow a lot of Apple enthusiasts and none of them has answered this question.
Good question. The "killer app" for the Apple Vision Pro isn't just one app, it's the entire operating system. For those already in the Apple ecosystem, it offers a new way to access all the apps you're familiar with. I found myself putting on the headset for a single task, only to spend an hour doing what I'd usually do on my phone, but in a more immersive/engaging setting. This retention time it can get because of this is unmatched, right now. While this experience alone may not justify the cost (as I said in the video), it certainly raises the bar for what we can expect from headsets in the future and I hope we'll get Android versions of this.
Based on the video, the 'killer app' sounds like it's the OS and how well it works. This device is, of course, basically a public development kit, much like the Oculus Rift DK1 I bought, which had no killer app. But, by DK2, it had a much more impressive library, by CV1, it improved greatly, then the Quest, Q2, Q3, etc - all of which I owned and really have liked them all - except the DK1 which made me really sick, really fast. These things build, and anyone who is upset that Apple is in the VR field because it's not their brand of choice, really doesn't get it, and how Apple is pushing the entire sector to a new place.
True 1st april joke
😂
13:50 RAGNAROK!!!
This was my youth, i loved it so much ❤
Ok… where did you get 5 kidneys?? I only have two and my doctor says I can only sell one… In all seriousness, thanks for the very comprehensive review!
I don't care too much about this device, especially at the price point. I have always thought apple was good at interface design, and really hope we see a resurgence in 3D releases of movies. Watching them on my Quest 3 has been enjoyable but there really aren't any commercial 3d releases anymore.
Whoa hold on a second! Who's kidneys did you sell there?! 😅
Best not to ask. . .😗
I wish I could afford one. Hopefully, this sets the standard for VR headsets in the future.
I think it will 🤞
if the standard is a closed ecosystem, no controller excel sheet driving work-machine... I'll let you have that.
Quest definitely setup the standard, I use my Quest 3 for work and play. I mostly play on PCVR too, so Vision Pro people can keep their "Standard".
how could you use WhatsApp on Vision Pro ? kindly advise
I have the money in my bank account right now but I know the second I pay for it and before it gets to me the Deckard will be released. Valve helped Apple get the Vision Pro out the door by letting them borrow their engineers and training Apple's so I hope once the yield of the Vision Pro's displays are ironed out Valve gets them for the Deckard. Not really an apple person, I have a mac mini but nothing else, mainly a Linux user so the Deckard will make more sense for me. Although then there is a huge hurdle of making a computing environment in VR that is usable for the Deckard that compares to the Vision Pros. . . still going to wait for the deckard.
Waiting on the Google Headset , why why why is Google so far behind ?
I really appreciate this video. This headset was definitely not for me. I hope all future headsets work on getting us a non grainy pass through experience. For that price, I was expecting a flawless experience
Seems like a decent vr device , and I paid a comparable price for a top off the line computer back In the day . But the software for the quest far surpasses apple . I can afford to wait .
This feels a lot like an initial review with a couple random 1 month later tid bits thrown in like that dual screen app. Not C&Cs fault, she trying to make juice outta rocks. Depressing that reviewers are still referencing that dinosaur experience. This feels like we are still in gen 1 while VR has been out a decade. Thx for the review! Not a lotta ppl putting out AVP videos anymore
Why does this feel like an initial review? Genuinely looking for feedback.
Im saying a initial review typically spends a lot of time talking about price, specs, OS, what comes in the box, etc. Month later review would like to hear how your opinions, usage, and apps have changed from day 1 to now. Your method will make it more evergreen, but people who have watched a lot of the first round of reviews will have heard a lot of this already. Have you learned anything that you wish you knew before? Has the difference between quest and AVP grown or shrunk through the month? Did your feelings or times youve put it on wane or grow?
One for the Apple FOMO gang
Don't fomo!! It's gonna get better and cheaper
Thats what im hoping. I have never been a apple guy. But if there headset can surpass the quest in all areas and be great for steamVR , I would make the purchase @CasandChary
I wait real compatibilty steamVr
Plastic on the outside, of the laminated screen on a 3500$ device🤯
Don't worry the Vision Pro breaks itself, and you don't get it replaced when it does.
if you are referring to the front glass cracking itself, apple knows about this and the apple store will replace it for free.
At the end of the day no one wants to put on a big ass head set for hrs.
Way too expensive. Plus you need to also buy an iPhone to activate the headset the first time, if you don't already have one. You need to realize that in total this is 2 months worth of salary for an average worker. But the iPhone's global market share is only 16% which means everybody else has an Android phone.
Top Notch Review. What's wrong guys 600 people watch it and only 60 thumbs lol.
nice
Can you play cod zombies in 3D?
Bruh Apple makes the Holodeck and expects us to go there to work
I could always sell my kidneys but even with cost out of the picture its way too noche to reccomend for anyone that isnt already drowning in apple products. Basic things like blue tooth support for mice is surprisingly lacking which is hilarious considering the goal is productivity and an immersive workspace.
Edit: Just came from trying it out. Visuals are definitely undoubtedly a 10. The accuracy of the eye tracking is impressive. Onoy had a few missclicks but over all 90-95% accuracy. And the audio was impressive enough to fool me into forgetting I wasnt wearing headphones/earbuds. Its a vool device and if money aint a problem go for it. But i can imagine using it for more than an hour. I never get motion sick but i did after a few minutes (it was most likely due to the prescription lenses being a little off -so not at all apple's fault) but ignoring all the minor cons regarding my experience, I still cannot justify that price when looking at the features. I still want one but I'll wait for the next generation. I definitely need to see what apple can do with gaming (not that they have an expert track record in it like Playstation or Meta) but if they can do something decent it would make it a lot better
lol they lie about milling that from solid block of aluminium... ( 27:44 )
The Quest3 is close enough in features that it makes the Vision pro much much less appealing, for the price.
Quest 3 lets you do most of these features, and more, including gaming.
if it's REQUIRED to own a mac to use it for work, and controllers from other devices + 3rd party apps + a gaming computer just to barely run a good game, that's just bad.
And you HAVE to keep the vision pro plugged in, getting only 2+ hours (look at how uncomfortable it looks in 28:40).
Quest 3 gives you 2+ hours of gameplay or more without requiring cables.
Hi and thanks for anothercdetsiled quality review but you must have money to burn lol especially when you can get a quest for a fraction of the price .
Somewhere down the line Apple will definitely need to reduce the price if they ever want it to appeal to the masses - nothing more than 1000 tops and even then
Something weird with your sound. Sounds like you have a really low bitrate for audio maybe.
If you gave me a £3500 voucher that I could only spend on tech, I'd buy myself a new gaming PC and a couple of Quest 3 to gift to my friends.
Wait, who's kidneys did you steal and sell to buy this headset?! 😛
Ssshh 🤫
its way to expensive for what it actually brings to the table..
u talking like mark zuckerberge like a robot!!
Dutchie?
19:00 I didn’t try yet but I kinda like outline hands overlay in the quest
Why do people talk about Apple Vision Pro like VR headsets and 3D video haven't been around for the last ten years?
Skipping Apple Vision Pro like I skip UA-cam ads
Be honest. You would never buy this if you couldn't tax deduct it...
Tax deductions has nothing to do with it as it doesn't make much of a difference in the cost, since buying something just to deduct taxes is still more expensive than not purchasing at all, especially at this price. Importing the headset from the US also limited the deductions, so it didn't really make it cheaper. If I didn't review VR headsets on UA-cam, I might not have bought it because of the price, but I honestly think I would have had a hard time returning it if I had tried it in that case too.
Not for me due high price. I am not rich person. And also no Apple user. Besides, i am gamer too. More reasons this headset is not for me. Quest 3 did already good job here. Do i miss a lot? Nope.
Apple headset is more business designed, for example share 3D works. And for 3500, you have also other good headsets, maybe with bigger FOV.
And question about 3rd party solutions: there will not a lot, and they will not cheap too. Quest 3 has many 3rd party solutions and much cheaper for some comfort.
And... as gaming headset also very risky. The front can break easy or damaged. It's heavy too to move fast around. If it fell off during hot fight... that is really bad. Apple repairs are not cheap. This headset has poor repair possibilities. The front is glued at headset! Don't buy it for gaming purposes.
And in memory: 1TB is 4x more expensive compared to 256GB. That is typical Apple way, we know it's not 4x expensive compared to other headsets and mobile phones.
This is why this Apple is too expensive, can risky and if you forgot password for example and cannot show proof it's yours, it will turn in expensive brick. Unlocking is very hard without proof, especially if your mailbox cannot reached, just like locked iPhone.
Quest 3 and Apple Vision Pro it is joke of technology, They went back 50 years. IIn the meantime, I recommend a used Pico 4 before the Valve Index II arrives.
Those screenshots you showed of the cracked headsets dont show how much abuse they took to get to that point.
If you actually watch the drop test videos
Lol you bought an apple product and expected it to be robust? 😅
