Quick answer: if you want portability and don’t mind charging the Quest 2 on/off while also losing visual fidelity but have no wires then the quest 2 is great and the link cable helps with the battery solution and slightly improved visual but that’s about it. The rift S has the advantage of PC dedicated and having the best quality graphics possible.
There both 300$ but you have to spend 380$ to play pc games with the oculus link and sift s has better resolution and quest 2 only has 10 refresh rates more which isn’t even noticeable
It depends on what you use it for, if you run VR games that are not in the Oculus library, the Rift S is the only choice. I use mine for flight SIM and with Film Director software that are both Oculus compliant running on the PC, so end up with way more flexibility. If I only used the Oculus approved apps, then I would probably go with the Quest2.
Rift s: more games etc Oculus: don't need a computer Rift s: if you own a decent pc then get the Rift s Oculus quest 2: if you don't own a pc this is a good choice.
I just purchased the Rift S last week over the quest 2 only because I am mostly playing on my PC. I have to say that the experience has been amazing. It is unfortunate that they are going to discontinue it next year since they want to focus more on quest 2. But if they are willing to optimize the quest 2 for the PC with the link cable, I am all for it. I won't be upgrading anytime soon until the quest 3 maybe.
i feel like your wrong to complain about AAs you can get rechargeable ones, and what happens 3 years down the line? the batteries have degraded beyond the point of usability, with HTC you have to go spend $200 on some more controllers, with the rif s and quest 2, $20 on some more rechargables
Ok I have the rift s and my friend has the quest 2, I tried out both simultaneously and I can clearly tell the difference in resolution from the rift s, (I’m doing these tests with pcvr on both so link for the quest and just the standard rift s.) In the settings u can actually change the render resolution with a slider, and the refresh rate to 90hz. All though the quest 2 isn’t meant to be pcvr I think the experiences were literally equal. I’m comparing pcvr on both since obviously if u don’t have a good computer than the quest 2 is your only choice. That’s all you need to really know but I’m going to go really in depth about this. Comfort: straight out of the box rift s is way more comfortable, but I owned a vive with deluxe audio strap and u can actually do what’s called the frankenquest mod which is basically attaching the HTC vive deluxe audio strap to the quest with some adapters. This solves two things with the quest 2 which is audio and of course comfort. You can also do this to the rift s, but no matter what it’s going to be 100 dollars more. Controllers: Definitely personal preference but I actually like the quest 2 controllers more than the rift s, the battery compartment door doesn’t slide off anymore, and battery life is better. Quest also has finger tracking if you don’t use controllers which is currently in beta. Both feel good, but quest feels better. Also the haptic feedback on the quest 2 feels more bumped up so you get more rumble in intense games. The performance feels better on pcvr since it uses the same game but with higher resolution and refresh rate. I also happen to own a first gen quest and the link experience was a 7/10 now with quest 2 a 8.5/10. Rift s still has less latency but of course its a pcvr headset. So in conclusion for the second time, IF you have a good pc get the quest 2 because you can adjust refresh rate to 90hz and upscale the resolution to higher numbers. If you have an ok pc this means around the recommended specs for the rift s, then get the rift s since your pc might not be able to handle those high resolutions of the quest 2. If you have no pc then obviously get the quest 2. For me overall I think quest 2 can still win in the ok pc category since you can also turn down the resolution to default or closer to the rift s, while still maintaining 90hz and being 100 dollars cheaper. That’s all and thank you if you read through all of this, reply if u have a question and stay safe, good bye!
Thank you for such a great and thorough review. It seems like the Quest 2 has modifications you can always make to make it slightly edge out the rift s. I think you made it clear that it’s the best option. It sounds like the quest 2 can still be made to do everything the rift s can do just by keeping it plugged in for battery, and gives you better graphics (or equal) if you have a great PC
Returned my Rift S and bought the Quest 1. Never bought the Quest 2, because I like OLED blacks of Quest 1. Also bought 2 more second hand Quest 1 headsets for spares, including 5 extra Q1 controllers. Works great. Dont need the Quest 2. Might buy the Pico 4 or wait for 2023/2024 VR headsets. Oh, VR gaming without a cable is much better.
@@HypeCrazed Yes it can. You can use any USB 3.0 Cable to connect the Quest 2 to your pc and use it to play pc VR. The graphics do increase dramatically when you do connect it to your pc and use it to play pc VR.
So I've been looking at both, I have a PC with a GTX 1060, R3200g and 16gb ram but I like the idea of using it wirelessly aswell, do you suggest the quest 2 and if so can I use any decent USB 3 cable?
id reccommend you get a quest 2 a pc with those specs wont be able to run big titles smoothly like boneworks half life alyx or asgards wrath so you can use both standalone and pcvr when you need to
@@chip6044 bit late but I've played boneworks and half life alyx just fine on my 1060 and rift S, Asgard's Wrath didn't really run all that well though
@@zwenkwiel816 yeah i can see that now since not all games run the same in vr most games on the 1060 run just fine it all depends on the software that your using
The quest 2 has higher resolution and refresh rate. It can also be connected to a PC wirelessly by using Virtual Desktop. You can also play PCVR games by using cloud computing with a virtual gaming PC with Shadow PC. Literally the only thing that the Rift s has over the Quest 2 is a slightly larger field of view. There is almost no reason to go with the Rift s over the Quest 2. There is no way I would attach myself to a PC with wires if I don't have to.
@@graystoncain7357 Quest 2 can also get 120hz. The no charging argument makes no sense because you can still plug the thing in if for some reason you like being tethered.
So I don’t know if his review is current I didn’t pay crazy attention... sorry. But I think it’s worth mentioning the quest 2 is a higher resolution then the rift S. The quest 2 will also be receiving a update for 90hz which means it will be 10hz smoother then the rift s. I just want to throw this info out for anyone that does care about these specs. The resolution can really only 100% be taken advantage by less demanding titles when standalone but all titles with a strong enough pc.
@@gu3z185 the 90 hz dont make sense on it or even the beta for 120 hz because its wireless even with oculus link you just cant get the performance you get on the rift s because even though the rift s has 80hz it feels much more fluent its like getting a 4k monitor and your pc is a potato looks good runs like shit see what im saying? the quest 2 is superior in the names of no cables but how do you want to get 90fps in every situation you get into even with the connection of oculus link its just not great the rift s has 80hz and thats something you can achieve nearly everywhere and these few pixels more dont bother so much because there is nor glaring or god rays so you just see clearly on both though but i would go for the rift s if you asking me if you want the performance and the greater software if you want to go wireless then the quest 2 because they are nearly equal in every point btw sorry for my english its not my main language
The PC games will look better on the Quest 2 now. Thanks to the new update you can manually set the bitrate on the Link, and it will run on higher resolution and on 90Hz instead of the Rift S which runs on 80Hz. You will see no video compression at all, and it's just generally more crisp looking. And with Virtual Desktop it's very much possible to play all your PCVR games completely wireless. Also, the built in mic on the Quest 2 is much better than on the Rift S, worth to mention if you are going to play a lot of multiplayer games. In conclusion, the Quest 2 is now the better PCVR headset. Help spread this information so that no poor soul buys a Rift S because they want to play PCVR.
@verdenxy you can bypass the cable and use wifi if you have fast internet 75mbs-150mbs+ and using virtual desktop you can access and play all your vrpc games wirelessly with at 90hz with pc quality.
I bought the Quest ² as a replacement for my Rift CV1. My intention was to use it almost exclusively with a link cable and my PC, but more and more I've been using at as a standalone as well. My biggest surprise was how comfortable the Quest² felt. I read so many stories/comments about how uncomfortable it was. I figured I'd end up having to buy a more comfortable strap, but I've been just fine with the stock strap.
Although the tech is great, it definitely should be mentioned that facebook now has taken complete control of over their oculus customers. Facebook recently announced that if you delete or disable your facebook account you will lose all of your oculus purchases. Also your facebook account must remain "in good standing" to have access to your oculus account.
The visuals on rift S will be better. Though they are improving the quest 2 with updates. But youd need that oculus link cable to teather to get similar performance. When teather battery still drains though. So be prepared if you go quest 2
I have rift s and have tried quest and if I’m being honest I’d get quest. If you don’t mind spending a few extra on the link cable and the premium head strap it just seems like a better option in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong I love my rift s too but they just push more updates to quest 2.

At 5:12 You said that the Oculus Quest 2 is "Objectively an inferior experience with lower resolution." This statement is objectively false. The Oculus Quest 2 has better resolution AND higher refresh rate than the Rift s. I can't speak about the hiccup issue you seemed to be having, but considering that it seems like you had a lower resolution on a headset with objectively higher resolution I doubt that the problems are caused by the headset in general. Might be that you have a dysfunctional headset. Or you did something wrong during the setup.
So i have a pc thats 2060 rtx I7 what should i get Oculus rift s or Oculus quest 2? I just need a vr that is good and i dont need to always adjust the vr so it doesnt fall of my face the games i will play is ( boneworks, blade and sorcery) Which one :P
@@Silver_s105 the only problem with the quest 2 when playing pc games is that it needs more pc power to encode the video stream and send it via USB-C or wifi but the rift s dont have this problem as its like a monitor with a display port
I use the Rift S as I am into absolute Performance. But I always thought the Quest 2 was like a "mobile downgrade" Version of VR. You've proven me wrong and the Quest looks very interesting to me too. Thank you!
Great vid just wanted to say Even if there is the quest 2 I chosen the rift s and it's because it's better for me.(people thinks rift s is bad which its not it's just the quest 2 is a little better.. at least I think is little)
so im stuck between the rift s or the q2, i have a pretty good pc and dont really care about the wireless feature of the q2 but i also dont know if the rift s is worth getting because ive heard that its getting discontinued next year and no longer being supported. so what do yall think should i get the rift s or the q2. I also heard the q2 when playing you can see the borders and it lets in light and idk about the rift s>\.
Pretty good pc. Get the rift s. I have the rift s and have used the quest. The quest overtime will lose ability to keep a charge. The rift s is ur best bet :)
@@andyandrews55 Yes but quest 2 with link is taking the raw gameplay footage and adding an additional layer of processing that converts it to video to be transferred over usb-c which introduces video compression artifacts and image softening on the headset or "Quest 2 Sub Pixel Enhancements". Note: this is from reading peoples reviews and comments all over the web about Quest 2/ Oculus Link
@@liamodonnell3450 if your telling me that the rift s looks better and performs better then your wrong. Sorry i have both and with the quest 2 running at 90hz and the render resolution at 1.7 it looks so much better. Sorry but its true
How is the rift s graphics better than quest 2 when both are tethered and playing the same program? Doesn't the quest 2 have better resolution and processor than rift 2?
Sadly the rift has been discontinued and we will not see a “Rift X”. So I will most likely go with the quest 2. 1. It’s wireless and I can take it anywhere 2. I can still stream steamVR games to it and play them 3. I don’t have a 3
Can anyone tell me which one is better for VR Chat? I just got a custom model for VR Chat but I've heard you can only use it if you have VR set up with your PC?
If your on pc then get the oculus rift s like I am, I love vrchat which is the main reason i love the rift. And the rift s gives better FPS when playing vrchat so yeah
The quest 2 has a faster refresh rate, 90hz. Using virtual desktop you can play steam vr games wireless. Going with the quest 2, just throwing this info out there for others making a choice.
Just so you know I have the quest 2 and the oculus rift S and just to warn you the quest 2 has a lot less games when the rift S and it’s a bit less comfortable I would recommend the oculus rift S in any situation The only times I wouldn’t recommend the rift s is if you don’t have a powerful PC in that case then the quest 2 is your best bet
Been having a hard time getting much issue on both. I am looking to get a headset for my son for christmas (11). I had no doubt in my mind to get him the Quest 2 but I have seen a few used Rifts out there for 200 or less. He does have a Ryzen 1600 RX 580 PC. Which do you think would be best? think I am still siding with the Quest 2.

@@XxkemiluvsuxX Hi. Can you tell us some experience with the Rift S? For example: What is your opinion about the cable? What is your opinion about the resolution (and what specs do your pc have)? Please
@@kaibeh I thought im gonna do that too since I have a 3080. but I saw much more reviews and the rift s has the annoying cable and I think I will get the quest 2.
I have both but personally I would go for the rift s. The quest is very smooth looking when playing games but it’s just a pain having to charge it so often
For someone that has a beefy pc. Should I get the quest 2 64gb with the link with better refresh rate and lenses. Or the rift s with worse refresh rate and worse lenses. Also heard the link isn’t as good as a rift pc version Then if I get the headstrap, link, and headphones that’s over 500$. With the rift s with only headphones for around the same price
@@shmokeythefatcat they are both the same price now. And sidequest seems like such a hassle. I think my pc is good enough for the rift s. I have a 5600 xt
Do not not fall into the trap and buy the Quest 2! I have returned mine after two weeks of use, because even with the latest update for the 'Link Cable' it still looks drab compared to the Rift/Rift S when in game.. I have a beast of a Gaming PC with a Gigabit broadband so i decided to set the Quest 2 up Wireless using Virtual Desktop/Server & Sidequest.. Looks better but it's a pain in the ass because sometimes the headset needs to be connected to Sidequest each time via a cable. Also certain games just do not like to be ran through Virtual desktop. Making things worse your now using the Quest Store and Rift Store AND Virtual Desktop just do the simple things like play games!! The battery life on the Quest 2 drains down to 90% within minutes also. This headset is no good in anyway what so ever for PC VR.. People keep making videos on UA-cam for views showing Half Life running on the quest 2 wireless, yet there is a lot of other stuff that won't work! Get a Rift S or a Valve Index as the Reverb G2 has dodgy tracking because of Mixed Reality controllers.. Quest 2 is a mobile VR device and that's as far as it goes lol
Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking gonna get the quest 2 but I’m 100% getting the rift s now lol. Especially because they are literally the same price. You just saved a life my man.
@@Thesteve1137 in order to have a full experience of a quest s I need to waste 50 dollars for a extra cable and 79 for a cable link to play more games that’s a waste of money what’s the point if I can buy a rift s and do not need to waste anymore money for a extra cord
I have a question, the Rift S will be discontinued this spring and I want to get a VR headset for the PC and I’m debating between these two but how does the quest 2 perform against the rift s on PC and how easy is it? Which one would you recommend for PC.
Hey, quick question! Im gonna get a oculus rift S, and i wanted to ask if you have to plug in the headphone that your using in the vr headset or can you just let it plugged in, in the pc?
@@blædeBlade oculus settings will allow you to choose a sound passthrough where you can play both audio on your headset and your pc like if you want to use pc speakers as well for some games such as Beat saber. It's nice not having to wear headphones. Otherwise yes, just switch your pc audio output to your headphones. though idk why you wouldnt just plug directly into the rift s.
I mostly just want a vr headset to play PC VR games but I can’t find the rift S anywhere, and the problem with the quest 2 is you need a link cable and needs to be charged since it’s all wireless
hey im looking for a vr that can have custom maps and mods on games. such as beat saber. But I dont wanna get a rift s if it isnt as good as the quest 2. can anyone help?
The rift s technically is as good as the quest 2. From what I’ve heard it sounds like the rift s has slightly better performance and visuals. However the quest 2 has the advantage of being completely independent. If that’s not important to you I would go rift s which is what I bought. In the future there won’t even be an argument once the rift line has been discontinued, and the quest line will surpass the performance and visuals of the rift and hold the advantage of being independent.
I love removable batteries. I use a AA battery charger that takes 20 minutes to charge up 4 AA's. It means that when one set goes flat, I can swap them out in 60 seconds rather than having to stop playing to charge them up. With regards to the Quest 2, as a RiftS owner I would only move to a Quest2 if there was no compromise on the graphics performance and tracking. I understand the Quest controllers to be using fewer sensors to increase it's battery life and I would want to know if this makes the tracking worse than the RiftS controllers. From a graphics perspective I know the Quest 2 technically has a higher resolution and screen refresh rate but it seems like there is a graphics quality vs refresh rate trade-off with with the Hz modes. Being directly connected to the PC on the RiftS I have to make no compromise on graphics quality. If there is same graphics performance/quality is available tethered with a link cable then the Quest 2 seems like it would be the better option.
Thank you! I agree I had a feeling quest 2 You made the decision much easier I prefer jack of all trades Than perfect quality games visual and I don't even have a gaming pc 🤦🏻♀️
And if you're looking into vr because you have a decent gaming pc, than you're an idiot if you don't pick the rift s. Better resolution/framerate is better in every way. Plus the price is 299 now, making it the very obvious choice.
@@taylon5200 no the rift s is worse than the quest 2 except for framerate (or hz whatever) and the headstrap. Abd they are the same price, quest 2 is no brainer
Yes with an oculus quest2 but you need steam so that requires a pc you shoul (in my opinion) get the rift s cause I don’t think you need a Facebook account to use a rift a but idk that
I'm getting the rift s when u want to use it on steam vr it's really simple and easy, quest 2 has its own store and stuff but ima use my pc just to play phas and it's own games, you'll also need to get a fast cable in order to connect to steam games on quest 2
I sold my CV1 for a Rift S, and I have mixed feelings about it. It didn't feel like an upgrade honestly. But the Quest 2 however is a great upgrade from the CV1. There is a reason the Rift S is being discontinued next year. Get a Quest 2 if anything, the CV1 is still a great headset with some advantages over both Rift S and Quest 2, such as audio solution, better tracking and much deeper black levels. I'm still really impressed by the Quest 2 though, and would definitely recommend it.
@@spaghetti1563 Well, that will disappear as well. 2023 ALL needing a FB account to play on Oculus.

@@cowardlydoge4267 Well, yes, it is right. Unique usernames can still be made. I looked that up. But atleast US government and German government now sues Facebook, because of their bs. They think Facebook which is the owner of Oculus using monopolytactics against other brands. And well, that is what they are doing tho. Buying smaller companies with promises that the games still will be on the market, putting down the entire company and zero game putted out on the market from that company. Or, running down gamecompanies by not putting their games on Oculus sites, even if so where promised from Oculus. Yes, they are a bit bitchy FB with their stuff. The drop ran over when you needed a FB account to play a VR. Something you bought with your own money, and then needs to fix an account to use it, if not the thing you bought are completely useless. You can't buy games from Steam or anywhere without a FB-account connected to your VR-headset. Atleast Oculus Rift S does not need a FB-account yet. That is until 2023, where FB decided to use ALL Oculus-stuff connected to a FB-account. And well, they who bought Quest 2 and already got FB-account are targeted as "fake users" so their accounts shuts down, even if they sending a picture of their drivinglicense to FB, which they did when they started their account years ago. Yes, FB nowdays got greatness madness, in their world they will control EVERYTHING!

So they discontinue and stop providing updates for the Rift S? Exactly why people should stay away from oculus products. They just released the Rift S in march of 2019! Now they already discontinuing it? Same may happen to the quest 2. Consumers should be outraged by this. I've never heard of a company doing this to a product released just a year earlier. Speaks volumes of Oculus.
@Centurian No, just not a very dependable company to rely on. My post is very straight forward. They release products that they they completely abandon. Salty? How in the world do you come to that conclusion. You are a consumer, no? I have a mortgage to pay for, am a single father and have tons of bills to pay. I don't like making an investment in a companies product that does this sort of thing. What consumer would? Wow.
@Centurian Did you miss my post saying they abandoned the rift s? I was speaking directly about the rift s while speculating they may do the same to the quest 2. They made the same promise and pitch when they released the Rift S. So what is the deal? That is my point. Do you think they are going to tell you now that when they move on that they are going to discontinue the quest 2? Then nobody would buy one and that is why I made my post. I happen to have purchased the Rift S for my son. I am entitled to feel this way and post my opinion. Why does a fellow consumer, you, have such a problem with that? Truly mind boggling. Oculus completely out of nowhere abandoned the Rift S 17 months after they released it? The fact they can't continue support for it is a serious problem that any consumer should look at. So you have no problem with that? That's fine. Why message me at all then? Especially with such a juvenile and immature response that I'm salty? Trolling someone for that? it doesn't matter. Never mind. I wasted my time even responding. Take care.
How can i set up my rift s so i can see clearly? I tried eye mm on the pc and the headband but i see like i am drunk. My pc has a nvidia geforce gtx 1070 and intel i7-8gen so itz not a problem but i cant see clear on the rift s always
Why were you using a Quest 2 with a wire connected on the side? Was it connected to a changer or something ? I asked because I am under an impression that Quest 2 sacrifice quality for a wireless game playing experience. And you were using with a wire connected to the left. Just saying.
@cherixq are you aware that you are calling me out after 3 years? I think the real question is. Why are you watching a 3 years old youtube video? Do you know what changed in 3 years? You should be watching videos about PSVR2 instead.

Ok I have the rift s and my friend has the quest 2, I tried out both simultaneously and I can clearly tell the difference in resolution from the rift s, (I’m doing these tests with pcvr on both so link for the quest and just the standard rift s.) In the settings u can actually change the render resolution with a slider, and the refresh rate to 90hz. All though the quest 2 isn’t meant to be pcvr I think the experiences were literally equal. I’m comparing pcvr on both since obviously if u don’t have a good computer than the quest 2 is your only choice. That’s all you need to really know but I’m going to go really in depth about this. Comfort: straight out of the box rift s is way more comfortable, but I owned a vive with deluxe audio strap and u can actually do what’s called the frankenquest mod which is basically attaching the HTC vive deluxe audio strap to the quest with some adapters. This solves two things with the quest 2 which is audio and of course comfort. You can also do this to the rift s, but no matter what it’s going to be 100 dollars more. Controllers: Definitely personal preference but I actually like the quest 2 controllers more than the rift s, the battery compartment door doesn’t slide off anymore, and battery life is better. Quest also has finger tracking if you don’t use controllers which is currently in beta. Both feel good, but quest feels better. Also the haptic feedback on the quest 2 feels more bumped up so you get more rumble in intense games. The performance feels better on pcvr since it uses the same game but with higher resolution and refresh rate. I also happen to own a first gen quest and the link experience was a 7/10 now with quest 2 a 8.5/10. Rift s still has less latency but of course its a pcvr headset. So in conclusion for the second time, IF you have a good pc get the quest 2 because you can adjust refresh rate to 90hz and upscale the resolution to higher numbers. If you have an ok pc this means around the recommended specs for the rift s, then get the rift s since your pc might not be able to handle those high resolutions of the quest 2. If you have no pc then obviously get the quest 2. For me overall I think quest 2 can still win in the ok pc category since you can also turn down the resolution to default or closer to the rift s, while still maintaining 90hz and being 100 dollars cheaper. That’s all and thank you if you read through all of this, reply if u have a question and stay safe, good bye!
Yes, I did read through all of this. Thank you for leaving this message! It was very informative and eye opening!
@@TechSummitTV Thanks dude not many youtubers respond as fast as you! Great content, and stay safe!
Thank you for such a great and thorough review. It seems like the Quest 2 has modifications you can always make to make it slightly edge out the rift s. I think you made it clear that it’s the best option. It sounds like the quest 2 can still be made to do everything the rift s can do just by keeping it plugged in for battery, and gives you better graphics (or equal) if you have a great PC
What type of games do I lose access to on quest that rift has no troubles w (given a strong pc)
Returned my Rift S and bought the Quest 1. Never bought the Quest 2, because I like OLED blacks of Quest 1. Also bought 2 more second hand Quest 1 headsets for spares, including 5 extra Q1 controllers. Works great. Dont need the Quest 2. Might buy the Pico 4 or wait for 2023/2024 VR headsets. Oh, VR gaming without a cable is much better.

I got the rift s and now it’s delayed bc of the snow and they were sold out at Best Buy there was only the quest 2
So I've been looking at both, I have a PC with a GTX 1060, R3200g and 16gb ram but I like the idea of using it wirelessly aswell, do you suggest the quest 2 and if so can I use any decent USB 3 cable?
id reccommend you get a quest 2 a pc with those specs wont be able to run big titles smoothly like boneworks half life alyx or asgards wrath so you can use both standalone and pcvr when you need to
@@chip6044 bit late but I've played boneworks and half life alyx just fine on my 1060 and rift S, Asgard's Wrath didn't really run all that well though
@@zwenkwiel816 yeah i can see that now since not all games run the same in vr most games on the 1060 run just fine it all depends on the software that your using
The quest 2 has higher resolution and refresh rate. It can also be connected to a PC wirelessly by using Virtual Desktop. You can also play PCVR games by using cloud computing with a virtual gaming PC with Shadow PC. Literally the only thing that the Rift s has over the Quest 2 is a slightly larger field of view. There is almost no reason to go with the Rift s over the Quest 2. There is no way I would attach myself to a PC with wires if I don't have to.
Ok but it don’t need to be charged also no stutters and smother fps ur stuck at 60 while the rift can get 120
@@graystoncain7357 Quest 2 can also get 120hz. The no charging argument makes no sense because you can still plug the thing in if for some reason you like being tethered.
@@graystoncain7357 the rift s doesn’t support 120hz dude, it’s 80hz
So I don’t know if his review is current I didn’t pay crazy attention... sorry. But I think it’s worth mentioning the quest 2 is a higher resolution then the rift S. The quest 2 will also be receiving a update for 90hz which means it will be 10hz smoother then the rift s. I just want to throw this info out for anyone that does care about these specs. The resolution can really only 100% be taken advantage by less demanding titles when standalone but all titles with a strong enough pc.
I was gonna buy the quest 2 but I have a decent pc and I much prefer visuals and performance so I think imma buy the rift s ty for the review
you dont need lthe 100 dollar link cable

Quest 2 has HIGHER resolution than Rift S. Why did you say it has lower resolution?!
Cuz it is lower
@@Lasha101-j5j It's higher, look it up. It also has a 90hz refresh rate, where as the Rift S is 80hz.
@@gu3z185 the 90 hz dont make sense on it or even the beta for 120 hz because its wireless even with oculus link you just cant get the performance you get on the rift s because even though the rift s has 80hz it feels much more fluent its like getting a 4k monitor and your pc is a potato looks good runs like shit see what im saying? the quest 2 is superior in the names of no cables but how do you want to get 90fps in every situation you get into even with the connection of oculus link its just not great the rift s has 80hz and thats something you can achieve nearly everywhere and these few pixels more dont bother so much because there is nor glaring or god rays so you just see clearly on both though but i would go for the rift s if you asking me if you want the performance and the greater software if you want to go wireless then the quest 2 because they are nearly equal in every point btw sorry for my english its not my main language
Is your opinion still the same after the link updates
The PC games will look better on the Quest 2 now. Thanks to the new update you can manually set the bitrate on the Link, and it will run on higher resolution and on 90Hz instead of the Rift S which runs on 80Hz. You will see no video compression at all, and it's just generally more crisp looking. And with Virtual Desktop it's very much possible to play all your PCVR games completely wireless. Also, the built in mic on the Quest 2 is much better than on the Rift S, worth to mention if you are going to play a lot of multiplayer games. In conclusion, the Quest 2 is now the better PCVR headset. Help spread this information so that no poor soul buys a Rift S because they want to play PCVR.
@verdenxy you can bypass the cable and use wifi if you have fast internet 75mbs-150mbs+ and using virtual desktop you can access and play all your vrpc games wirelessly with at 90hz with pc quality.
I bought the Quest ² as a replacement for my Rift CV1. My intention was to use it almost exclusively with a link cable and my PC, but more and more I've been using at as a standalone as well. My biggest surprise was how comfortable the Quest² felt. I read so many stories/comments about how uncomfortable it was. I figured I'd end up having to buy a more comfortable strap, but I've been just fine with the stock strap.

Although the tech is great, it definitely should be mentioned that facebook now has taken complete control of over their oculus customers. Facebook recently announced that if you delete or disable your facebook account you will lose all of your oculus purchases. Also your facebook account must remain "in good standing" to have access to your oculus account.
For that alone I will not buy!
Thanks. Was hoping to find this info. Figured FB would force their bullshit onto the user.
@Ace of Space You can just create a new FB account with a new email address. Can't sell your data if you don't put any in it. :D
Would the quest 2 be a better option, if I would mainly play on my PC?
The rift s would be best for pc im pretty sure
The visuals on rift S will be better. Though they are improving the quest 2 with updates. But youd need that oculus link cable to teather to get similar performance. When teather battery still drains though. So be prepared if you go quest 2
I have rift s and have tried quest and if I’m being honest I’d get quest. If you don’t mind spending a few extra on the link cable and the premium head strap it just seems like a better option in my opinion. Don’t get me wrong I love my rift s too but they just push more updates to quest 2.

At 5:12 You said that the Oculus Quest 2 is "Objectively an inferior experience with lower resolution." This statement is objectively false. The Oculus Quest 2 has better resolution AND higher refresh rate than the Rift s. I can't speak about the hiccup issue you seemed to be having, but considering that it seems like you had a lower resolution on a headset with objectively higher resolution I doubt that the problems are caused by the headset in general. Might be that you have a dysfunctional headset. Or you did something wrong during the setup.

Do not not fall into the trap and buy the Quest 2! I have returned mine after two weeks of use, because even with the latest update for the 'Link Cable' it still looks drab compared to the Rift/Rift S when in game.. I have a beast of a Gaming PC with a Gigabit broadband so i decided to set the Quest 2 up Wireless using Virtual Desktop/Server & Sidequest.. Looks better but it's a pain in the ass because sometimes the headset needs to be connected to Sidequest each time via a cable. Also certain games just do not like to be ran through Virtual desktop. Making things worse your now using the Quest Store and Rift Store AND Virtual Desktop just do the simple things like play games!! The battery life on the Quest 2 drains down to 90% within minutes also. This headset is no good in anyway what so ever for PC VR.. People keep making videos on UA-cam for views showing Half Life running on the quest 2 wireless, yet there is a lot of other stuff that won't work! Get a Rift S or a Valve Index as the Reverb G2 has dodgy tracking because of Mixed Reality controllers.. Quest 2 is a mobile VR device and that's as far as it goes lol

hey im looking for a vr that can have custom maps and mods on games. such as beat saber. But I dont wanna get a rift s if it isnt as good as the quest 2. can anyone help?
The rift s technically is as good as the quest 2. From what I’ve heard it sounds like the rift s has slightly better performance and visuals. However the quest 2 has the advantage of being completely independent. If that’s not important to you I would go rift s which is what I bought. In the future there won’t even be an argument once the rift line has been discontinued, and the quest line will surpass the performance and visuals of the rift and hold the advantage of being independent.
In my country oculus quest 2 cost 600 dollars and rift s cost 625 dollars
I love removable batteries. I use a AA battery charger that takes 20 minutes to charge up 4 AA's. It means that when one set goes flat, I can swap them out in 60 seconds rather than having to stop playing to charge them up. With regards to the Quest 2, as a RiftS owner I would only move to a Quest2 if there was no compromise on the graphics performance and tracking. I understand the Quest controllers to be using fewer sensors to increase it's battery life and I would want to know if this makes the tracking worse than the RiftS controllers. From a graphics perspective I know the Quest 2 technically has a higher resolution and screen refresh rate but it seems like there is a graphics quality vs refresh rate trade-off with with the Hz modes. Being directly connected to the PC on the RiftS I have to make no compromise on graphics quality. If there is same graphics performance/quality is available tethered with a link cable then the Quest 2 seems like it would be the better option.
But you musnt install the games to the quest 2, so you can play games from steamvr right ?

I sold my CV1 for a Rift S, and I have mixed feelings about it. It didn't feel like an upgrade honestly. But the Quest 2 however is a great upgrade from the CV1. There is a reason the Rift S is being discontinued next year. Get a Quest 2 if anything, the CV1 is still a great headset with some advantages over both Rift S and Quest 2, such as audio solution, better tracking and much deeper black levels.

But well, I am getting a Rift S, already ordered. Got an Oculus account already by my Oculus Go. But that will soon disappear.
@@Necronomous i heard that oculus was trying to make sure that you can still have a unique username on the platform, the only difference is that you will have to sign into it with a facebook acc because of facebooks bs, but other then that i think unique usernames should still be here. (You might want to look it up in case i am wrong)
@@cowardlydoge4267 Well, yes, it is right. Unique usernames can still be made. I looked that up. But atleast US government and German government now sues Facebook, because of their bs. They think Facebook which is the owner of Oculus using monopolytactics against other brands. And well, that is what they are doing tho. Buying smaller companies with promises that the games still will be on the market, putting down the entire company and zero game putted out on the market from that company. Or, running down gamecompanies by not putting their games on Oculus sites, even if so where promised from Oculus. Yes, they are a bit bitchy FB with their stuff. The drop ran over when you needed a FB account to play a VR. Something you bought with your own money, and then needs to fix an account to use it, if not the thing you bought are completely useless. You can't buy games from Steam or anywhere without a FB-account connected to your VR-headset. Atleast Oculus Rift S does not need a FB-account yet. That is until 2023, where FB decided to use ALL Oculus-stuff connected to a FB-account. And well, they who bought Quest 2 and already got FB-account are targeted as "fake users" so their accounts shuts down, even if they sending a picture of their drivinglicense to FB, which they did when they started their account years ago.
Yes, FB nowdays got greatness madness, in their world they will control EVERYTHING!
So on the quest 2 would I be able to play Pavlov , and other games
1:34 hey whats that thing on top of your monitor?
That's the LaMetric Time. I have it attached with adhesive/velcro.
i will never play VR outside of my room and i have a high end desktop pc i use for 1440p high refresh rate gaming. i decided to go on ebay and i found a nice chap selling his oculus rift s he bought back in march during lockdown, he used it for a short while during lockdown but now he is back at work hes selling it. Its complete with the box all working and in really good condition. he was asking £300 (roughly $399) i accepted and its on the way. do you think this was a good deal?
Not anymore considering it’s 300 right now haha . I just ordered one.
@@vi3tboitai i ordered mine a month before the sale! It arrived in mint condition and works perfectly :) i don't regret my decision at all.
As someone who’s just entering the VR side of gaming this video helped a lot! I decided to go with the quest 2 due to the it’s lower price and it’s ability to be played wirelessly, but I’m probably going to keep it plugged in when I can to have a much better experience Similar to what the rift s has to offer. But thank you so much for the information
Here where i live the Rift S is actually 50€ cheaper than the Quest 2 :D
Is there any latency with the quest 2 on PC?
I have had my quest 1 for about a year and a half and I just ordered a Rift S as it’s price has gone down. Super excited!
did you get it yet? is it good
@@mayzonicgaming5714 yea I just got it. It’s really good and much better performance than the link. The audio isn’t the best but I really don’t care. It’s also the most comfortable headset I’ve ever worn. All of my games from link transferred over to the rift. 9/10
@@tylerhoward16 that’s sounds great I can’t wait for mine to come in, it got delayed so I have to wait til Friday but luckily I ordered it because their out of stock right now
@@mayzonicgaming5714 hope everything works out for you
@@tylerhoward16 thanks I hope so
So they discontinue and stop providing updates for the Rift S? Exactly why people should stay away from oculus products. They just released the Rift S in march of 2019! Now they already discontinuing it? Same may happen to the quest 2. Consumers should be outraged by this. I've never heard of a company doing this to a product released just a year earlier. Speaks volumes of Oculus.
@Centurian No, just not a very dependable company to rely on. My post is very straight forward. They release products that they they completely abandon. Salty? How in the world do you come to that conclusion. You are a consumer, no? I have a mortgage to pay for, am a single father and have tons of bills to pay. I don't like making an investment in a companies product that does this sort of thing. What consumer would? Wow.
@Centurian Did you miss my post saying they abandoned the rift s? I was speaking directly about the rift s while speculating they may do the same to the quest 2. They made the same promise and pitch when they released the Rift S. So what is the deal? That is my point. Do you think they are going to tell you now that when they move on that they are going to discontinue the quest 2? Then nobody would buy one and that is why I made my post. I happen to have purchased the Rift S for my son. I am entitled to feel this way and post my opinion. Why does a fellow consumer, you, have such a problem with that? Truly mind boggling. Oculus completely out of nowhere abandoned the Rift S 17 months after they released it? The fact they can't continue support for it is a serious problem that any consumer should look at. So you have no problem with that? That's fine. Why message me at all then? Especially with such a juvenile and immature response that I'm salty? Trolling someone for that? it doesn't matter. Never mind. I wasted my time even responding. Take care.
But can the quest 2 use discord???
Yes
How can i set up my rift s so i can see clearly? I tried eye mm on the pc and the headband but i see like i am drunk. My pc has a nvidia geforce gtx 1070 and intel i7-8gen so itz not a problem but i cant see clear on the rift s always
thank you for doing this review i think i will buy the rift s
you really should
Why were you using a Quest 2 with a wire connected on the side? Was it connected to a changer or something ?
I asked because I am under an impression that Quest 2 sacrifice quality for a wireless game playing experience.
And you were using with a wire connected to the left. Just saying.
did u even watch the video?? be honest
@cherixq are you aware that you are calling me out after 3 years? I think the real question is. Why are you watching a 3 years old youtube video? Do you know what changed in 3 years?
You should be watching videos about PSVR2 instead.
Rift S doesn't have to charge 1 to 2 hours...
@Brayden Stearman yeah that's my next thing. Just wish it was longer.
But if you get the link cable and plug it into your pc doesn’t it charge the headset
