We used to get an entire facial interface and 2 PU leather face pads from VRCover for $29, but now all we can get is a piece of fabric that slides over the stock interface? Really?
How good is the tracking in Pavlov VR? For example, when aiming through the Pico 4 through the sight, there is a shift and the sight does not float much, I have problems with accurate aiming.
@plexonet apparently from what I've heard it's better than the Quest 2 controllers.
Great review! I used to own a Valve Index and am thinking to get back into VR. Would the Q3 feel like an improved experience using it both linked to my gaming rig and standalone?
Thanks. Very helpfull, especially your opinion on different sets to buy - or not.
Love your German ‘JA’ randomly throughout the video ja.
Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the extensive review. What will you recommend to someone who is coming from the Oculus rift cv1 and has been waiting for a long time to upgrade? I'm deciding between quest 3 and beyond. The issue I find with the beyond is not the headset but the sensors and controllers which are harder to get.I think lighthouse sensors are overpriced and soon they may be obsolete. I'm a PCvr gamer and don't care much about metaverse and mixed reality. Would you recommend quest 3, go for the beyond or keep waiting? Thanks
Very nice video, thank you!
What is better for watching movies (not theater-like, but from my NAS), Rokid Max (or similar glasses like Xreal Air) or Meta Quest 3 (or even MQ2)?
Is it possible to use the Quest 3 to have multiple virtual PC or Mac desktops and what is the quality like? Good enough for reading text for hours at a time? Thanks!
If not, which VR headset would you recommend? Are any of them good for this purpose?
i will be watching this as it premieres. even though i have already pre ordered it, it is still fun to see what others say and think about it. you are my new favorite creator, voodoode!
Thank you!
Hey Thomas, I just came across your account and really enjoyed this video. You've a good mix of excitement for VR, but not over the top. Subbed straight away. I've just ordered a Quest 3 now, and I am excited for it. My dinners will consist of beans on toast for the next 3 months but will be worth it. 😀
Thank you
That was a great review. I am so glad that I pre-ordered the Quest 3, more than ever now. Thanks Thomas. I cant wait to get the game, Asgard's Wrath when it comes out. I already saw preview videos about it. It looks really awesome.
Thanks for the in-depth review. It mirrors my own feelings very well.
You did have an edit-miss where you talk about the price it says Quest 2 on the screen instead of 3.
Another reflection is how you are navigating menus. Have you tried just using the whole interface as a touchpad instead of doing the pinching motion when in hand tracking mode? For me getting around using hand tracking this way is so amazingly intuitive and I believe this is the way people will primarily navigate the menus moving forward.
Hello there. Amazing review. Maybe the best out there. You are so good man.
A question please. You said not to use bt headset. Can you please find a pair of Samsung Galaxy buds 2 pro to try with the quest 3? They have so much tech and the latency on my s23 plus is near zero really. I'm playing very demanding games that needs great latency to play without a problem. And at the latest software update they have support for the newest aurora streaming... I think if I pair with the quest 3 (I'm waiting mine ) there are no delay. I am curious 🧐...
What version of bt protocol have the quest 3? Do you know?
Thanks for the JSAUX cable suggestion as I play sim racing
Since you showed the Audeze headset. Does it work using the USB-C? I just want to make sure since I'm using it with the dongle on my Quest 2.
I appreciate your objective analysis and opinions. Your knowledge and passion for VR/MR makes your channel especially insightful. Thanks for all the great videos!
Wow, really excellent and thorough review (and I've seen many on Quest 3 now), well done, answered any remaining open questions !
Controllers are tracked via their inbuilt infra-red LEDs... yet they won't work in the dark? WHY?!?!
There's a number of annoying decisions gone into the Quest 3. It's my favourite headset, but I have a list of 'stupid' and 'annoying' crap you have to work around : /
One of the best reviews. Thanks for taking the time to timestamp. ❤
Thank you
Now i cant wait to get it myself, couldnt get enough to pre order it, but will get it very soon, here's hoping the depth oclusion uodate will be good for mixed reality apps
would you say that the black levels are better than on quest 2 ?
Professional review as always. Thanks.
I have the Reverb G2 and use it mainly for simulation so the comfort of a wireless HMD is really appealing.
Complete video man , thanks 👍
Do you think the mic quality on the headset is a software issue on the meta side that can be solved via software update? Also do you think if using voice meter banana when it is plugged in via link cable will further improve the quality?
Also did you think the Quest 2 microphone was better overall?
Thank you for your review! Great job as always.
Thank you
what's the qpro horizontal fov with that software ....I remember u were saying it's more than index and I was expecting similar numbers with q3
Why am I not purchasing a Quest3?
Because Meta presently allows developers to restrict reviewers from playing the games they bought, online or at all, if they grade it poorly on the meta site.
Any shared user of this headset will be banned too.
Developpers have access to private data, which I view to be a serious breach of privacy. Abusive banning is done when reviewers mention boring identical ugly avatars or bad physics in a tennis game.
Only Meta should be permitted to ban if a developer provides proof of wrongdoing.
Wait, what??
You are one of my favorite VR reviewers. Very pro and cool. Would you use the Quest 3 over Index for PCVR gaming? Do you think the freedom of wireless VR vs the quality and lifespan of cabled?
Yes would prefer q3
One of the best reviews I've ever seen on all aspects of VR and not even in your mother tongue.
You certainly have another sub.....
Another great review: makes it easy to decide what to buy.
Very comprehensive! Thanks
Please compare this to the bigscreen beyond! I know they are quite different, especially price and features and so on, but still curious what you think of the two for PCVR, is the beyond worth the quite huge price increase?
great video Voodoo! keep the good work!
Thank you
Such a great and thorough review. Thank you for the effort and honesty!
Thank you
Yes...yes it is...
oh yes digga
Could you do a comparison test to watch 3D movies in BigScreen or other virtual theater software ?
Love you content! cheers from CL
Thank you
NEEDS MORE VIEWS. This is such a great review.
Would you recommend a headset for simracing on PCVR or is latency a problem?
I didn't have problems with latency, I was even on wifi5
Great in depth review. Thank you
Does the Quest 3 feel more comfort on face than Quest 2 ?
Amazing review thank you!!!
👍👍
What about binocular overlap, is it better than in Quest Pro? Or maybe like in Pimax Crystal?
I can see that a black bar shows up on the side of the screen when watching these reviews. The quality doesn't seem that great and it looks like it warps and just looks weird. Will I see that myself while playing or is it just because I'm watching a video?
Very very through. Thank you! You’ve convinced me to get a Quest 3
Thanks for the video and the timestamps 🙂
Thank you Thomas! Nice and deep review! 👍
I'm sold
Excellent and thanks for your analysis.
So what you're saying is I finally don't need the controllers to control it the entire time ?
That mix reality looks pretty cool
Love your coverage brother! So excited to be going from PSVR1 with it's 600 cables (approximately), bad camera tracking and controllers with no thumbsticks to, ahh Pick up and play, face whatever direction I want and those glorious PCVR mods I hear so much about. Don't get me wrong, PSVR1 was my favorite gaming purchase ever but boy oh boy am I ready for the upgrade. Gonna be a Christmas this year : )
Thank you
Thank you very much for the great review! 😎👍
Thank you
I totally agree. I think it is that good and I haven't tried it yet
Thank you for your review Thomas.
You're welcome
Thanks for the detailed review! Man, it's such a tough choice... Quest 3, or Steam VR (upgraded from the Index HMD some time in the future)??? I'm happy to see that the FoV is looking better on Quest 3, but I don't know how well the Pro controllers will work with the Q3 (connection, latency, battery life, durability, game and Meta firmware updates and compatibility). Lots of good reasons to go either way;
-Quest 3 and Index will cost me almost exactly the same, ~$1,000 to play PCVR
-Quest is easier to set up
-Steam VR has an upgrade path
-I can play the Quest right away anywhere
-Steam VR has no compression
-Quest is wireless out of the box
- Steam VR has perfect tracking
-Quest 3 NEEDS the Pro controllers
(I personally need the Pro controllers)
-Steam VR requires base stations and wires all over the place
-Quest 3 falls ever so short on FoV
-etc. etc. etc.
I want to wait for Valve to say something, anything, PLEASE VALVE! but it's practically winter (again) and I'll be stuck inside wanting to play VR in just a month or so. Maybe I should just get the Quest 3 and worry about it later.
I have a Pico 4 for pcvr, should I upgrade it to a quest 3 in your opinion?
I think he answered that - answer is no, difference for PCVR is minimal.
Awesome review, thank you! 👏
You're welcome
Thank you for this helpfull review! I think I will buy the Quest 3 to replace my Oculus 1. To enjoy it fully I must get a gaming PC as well I am afraid.
Well that will be a nice jump - you held out for a long time - VR has come a long way since Oculus 1 !
is meta browser DRM compatible browser now on quest 3 ? it is not on quest 2 v57 update yet , please let us know
The lens is better than Crystal glas lens?
What's battery life like with just PCVR wirelessly?
Great test, all we need to know !
Very informative review thanks for share it.
Thanks
I'm saving up to buy the 512Gb version.
13:44 you need to lower your camera's shutter speed to film through the lenses without the strobing.
It didn't work. I tried everything with the camera, that's the best I could get out of it 😁
@voodoodevr-en I'm a broadcast engineer, so maybe I can help you out.
The strobing is caused by the relationship between three different elements
- the refresh rate of the HMD's led back-light.
- the shutter speed of your camera (which is how much time (fractions of a second) your camera allows your sensor to collects light)
- the refresh rate of the sensor (which is extremely fast) and method of which the sensor refreshes (in your case, you're using a camera with a Rolling Shutter which mean the sensor refreshes one row of pixels at a time.)
Realistically, the only variable you have control over is shutter speed.
Do you mind me asking
- what's your shutter speed? what's your recording frame rate? and what camera are you using?
I hope I can help.
how much preformance i would get with rtx 3080 ti mobile in half life alyx do you think?
The mic qiality is really impressive. It's just the placement of the mic that causes the popping. If you add a little wind shielding foam over the mic it will sound perfect.
Yeah that could work
Thanks man for info :)
Thanks for the presentation, I was already weak but listening to you.... another purchase to make... :D (small mistake on the comments embedded in the price part, it's Quest 3 not 2 :D)
Is the Pimax Crystal worth the extra cost? For PC VR, I have a 2080ti. Is the Quest 3 more GPU resource-intensive compared to the Quest 2? From the reviews I've heard, a Crystal requires a 4080/4090 for a decent experience. All things considered, is the Crystal worth upgrading my GPU and paying 3 times the price of the Quest 3? Thanks for your video.
Is the Quest 3 more GPU resource-intensive compared to the Quest 2?
yes
Pimax now has a controller free Pimax Crystal for a lower price, and $1,000ish Varjo Aero, one has 6 DOF tracking internal and one needs Lighthouse (I think).
How is that VRCover worth $30? I have the Quest 2 Thrill Seeker cover and its an entire face plate replacement with extra pads ... How is this Sock worth $30?
I was watching your vive pro 2 review and there the VFOV value for the index was 114. Now it's 98 .... that is a huge difference. Is this only from switching to the new version of TestHMD ? Also, looking at the new values it seems to me that actually the pro 2 is not that bad on the vertical FOV.
Yes that was a bug in the old version unfortunately...
I sold my Reverb G2, thinking that by the time I could afford an appropriate GPU, the headset would probably be outdated and not supported. Then, finally, Meta released this. I instantly regretted selling my g2. And as usual, no one compared the two headsets that was the most interesting for me. Until now. Thank you. Meta 3 it will be, if the price could calm down alittle.
Superb overview.
Thank you
*QUESTION*: Q3 face gasket seems extra deep compared to Q2. Is that correct? Does that mean even more reason we should get 3rd party one for better FOV?
No it's no problem
Can you please try the Pro controllers? Are they better or not worth the extra??
Unless tracking in every situation is absolutely critical for you, it definitely isn't worth $300 extra. But if it is they should work just fine.
thank you for Pico 4 vs Quest 3 comparison! Nobody had the guts (apparently) to say anything about it.
😁
the Elite strap with battery is a must buy accessory for this headset, I would never use the default strap that comes with the headset, I prefer something better quality and that will make the headset more comfortable to wear, and to have longer battery life on it, for a facial interface I bought the silicone one from Meta, the 512 GB version of this headset is a must buy also, more expensive but worth the price
Third parties will make better and cheaper options.
Have you heard anything about psvr2 to pc ability in the future?
Nope
@@voodoodevr-en. I have seen someone showing no man's sky vr . Thought it was pc.
PLEASE compare it to Pico 4, i'm staring at the "pre-order" button, but still not sure :D
Its better than the Pico 4 believe me. Better hardware and MUCH much better software.
Great review good job.
Thank you!
Do 3d movies look crisper (4k 3d movies)?
Yes
Hello Thomas, and please this question is only for voodoode, can you please give me a rating from 1 to 10 on the visuals from the quest 3 compared to crystal. I know crystal is better but just give me a rating 3, 4, 5 etc.
thank you.
Crystal 9
Quest 3 7
@@voodoodevr-en wow, ok, thankyou. Guess its a buy then.
REALLY GOOD VIDEO!!!! TY!!
So how would you rate the quality of Half life Alyx on the quest 3 vs valve index? I’ve been playing on the index with super sampling at 180, and haven’t seen any other headset worth upgrading to yet.
BEST REVIEW!! THX!!!
That what Ive expected from guy from Germany ;)
I don't see how you could have any difference with the quest 2 with the link and image quality and less compression as you do not own a rtx 4000 serie wich is capable of using av1 encoding.
the new lenses / resolution pr. eye maybe?
Do the sunglasses improve the black levels?
For sure, but then you also lose global brightness... plus you will lose fov too
Hahaha
@@MrCrrispy I love that you thought I was serious :)
VoodooDE VR is AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 16Gb memory NVIDIA RTX 3070 good enough for Q3 at 120hz for sims ?
depends on the game. for microsoft flight sim, even 3080 isn't enough.
@@deniskarasev8023 OH man, I race sim and want to get into helicopters. thanks
Hi i am sorry for offtop. But i am interested in some real question to you as a German civil man. VolksWagen Audi or mercedes?
Tesla 🤣
@@voodoodevr-en Porche!
Could someone help me with this? This may just be a dumb mistake, so basically when try to link to my computer it just puts me in a black abyss with 3 dots loading, i only got it to link once and once only.
If you are using a cable it is probably that. Most folks recommend just going with the official cable from Meta.
Thanks, I appreciate it.@@mtbross100
What do you think the Crystal is way more better than Quest 3? it means the picture quality it is soo much or just a little bit better?
Crystal is like 30% better or so
Bonjour..le Crystal ses pi Max..pas terrible et vu son prix..incomparable avec le QUEST 3..le QUEST 3..sur de nombreux point..le dépasse😅😅🤣🤣bon vr ..et vous allez économiser de l’argent en plus👍..cordialement
Nice Pimax collection :D
awesome review! I own one and i think it is amazing for the price!!!!
Best review on the web so far!
Thank you
i preordered it whit expected delivrery 12 october but after the order went thrugh it went to 12 november and i cant cancle the order luckily i got some videos to look at atleast while waiting
November 12? Where did you order from? I pre-ordered from metas website mine arrives October 11th
@@jessiestarr4600 i also ordered from the meta website and ive been trying to cancle it so i can buy it tomorrow form a store next to me that has it in store but it seems impossible
@@jessiestarr4600 the only option provided by the meta store was to send the package in return so in 3 weeks they will send it to me and then i have to send it back to them and then i can get my money back but what if it gets lost in the mail? and that would mean no food for a month now
its realy frustrating that its not possible to cancle order when its not even close to being shipped
guess they dont take chanses on losing sales
It looks nice but for that price i bought 2 Quest 2. If i change it would be after VGA upgrade and there are more options now.
I HATE fresnel lenses. But to each their own.
agreed. Id upgrade just to get rid of those circle artefacts @@playin4k611
Hi, do you know how much free space there is in the 128 GB version, out of the box? thanks
I believe the os is around 18gb
Question is answered twice in the video, around 100GB free
I use the same cable. However instead of plugging the USB-C into the computer, I plug it into the electric plug that comes with the Quest.
Does that cable keep the quest3 from draining?? I have the kuject version of the cable but it drains alot faster on my Q3 compared to my Q2. Have you checked if the cable supports USB PD (18watt)? The kuject version of the cable only supports 10watts which is why it drains alot faster on the Q2 since the Q3 is much more power hungry.
comparison vs the vive 2 pro?
