Hey Michael, thanks for stopping by! Surprisingly well, albeit at a loss of FOV (field of view). You may know this already, but there are three adjustment levels with this new headset that allow for additional clearance between your glasses and the headset lenses. With each additional step, you lose a bit of FOV, but to what degree, I don't actually know. I can say that it is noticeable. With regards to comfort alone, I might go as far as to say this is the first headset that didn't make wearing my specs in VR a hassle at all. Your results may vary depending on frames, of course, but you can see what I'm working with in the video. If you are anywhere within that size, you are good!! Thanks for taking the time to comment, Michael! I appreciate it, brother!
Hey Nigel, great review - nicely filmed and editied too. Going back to the space issue, our internet is pretty slow at home - what is the max size of games on the store? I can handle a 1GB download, but much more and it gets frustrating to uninstall/re-install games all the time. Do you think its worth getting the larger capacity? Or will the 128GB still have enough for say 30 odd games? I intend on playing PC VR with it too. Cheers! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks so much for stopping by, Dan! That’s a great question- I hadn’t really considered the constrains one might be dealing with in the internet/data side of things, and how that might affect the ability to swap games easily. The size of the games vary- anywhere for 5/600 MB all the way to 3 GB (from what I’ve seen) One important thing to note is that these newer/upgraded experiences are certainly going to come at increased file size and if that ends up being the case- the 30 games you had might end up being 10, you know? If downloading beyond 1gb is issue, I would definitely recommend getting the 512. It’s pricey, but maybe someone in your situation would appreciate just adding games as you go rather than constantly having to clear up space. I’m glad you brought this up, Dan. I think this will help quite a few people! Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!! I enjoyed thinking over this one! Take care, Dan! ✌🏼
That’s awesome, Taz! You’ll have to let me know what you think of the PC performance if you get a chance- I just responded to a comment that was asking about the PC side. As I mentioned to them, my card decided to die recently, so I wasn’t able to include that in my review. I’m not sure which headset you’re coming from but regardless, I think you’re going to love this one! Take care and thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkmanComing from the quest 2, but have had multiple over the years (I've had the DK2, CV1, and used the Valve headsets). I've just recently built myself a new pc (4090, i9-13900k, really the whole kit and kaboodle kinda thing), so I am excited to really see how it performs at the high end. I am sorry that yours decided to kick the bucket there... Hopefully ya can resolve it soon enough and see for yourself how it works. Would love to see an updated review with your thoughts on that. Thanks for the content and I'll be looking forward to what you put out next bud! Hope ya have a fantastic one!
Thanks for the kind words, Taz- I’m happy that you have enjoyed the content so far! That build sounds AWESOME- Definitely hit all the marks- nice work! I really do need put a build together sometime soon- would be awesome to go back a finish half-life alyx! With this new endeavor of content creation, day job, Wife, kids, I find myself scraping together scraps of time just to get these videos done, so not sure how soon I’ll be able to get back to my PC, but it’s at the tip top of my goals list for this year! Thanks again for stopping by! Let me know when f you find any must play experiences on you quest once you have it! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman Hope you can find the time and cash to continue to pursue all your interests. As for PCVR, it's absolutely amazing on the quest 3... Played through a bit of Asgard's wrath and the Oculus version of Robo-Recall (still one of my all time favorite PCVR experiences). The quest 3 really holds up. Should ya ever need help with doing anything on Quest or on PC, feel free to reach out. Always nice to look for new co-op buddies. regardless. Hope you're enjoying it and I'll be looking forward to your next vid soon bud!
We have the quest 2 and have been considering purchasing a second one due to the fact that the kids are always fighting over who gets to play with it. Lol I would like to get the quest three, but then it’s just going to turn into them fighting over who gets to use the better one 😂 At any rate, this review was super helpful, and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video for us!
Hey Sara, thanks for taking the time to stop by to leave a comment! I appreciate it big-time. Yeah I think once the kids have the opportunity to see how much better this second one is it’s gonna be hard to keep them from arguing over who gets to use it. Lol. Best of luck to you, my friend! Hopefully you can figure out a way to keep the peace ✌🏼 🤣
Okay in all honestly, is this worth for PCVR like at all? I don't think most reviewers actually talked about using the link cable and if there's any changes so this would be helpful to know.
You make a really good point here, Electrical- I didn’t mention the PC side as my trusty 1080ti decided to die on me recently. Now depending on which set you are currently using (if at all) I think there is a strong case for using this with your PC, just based on my standalone exp. This thing sports a pretty nice resolution that I think would still require a nice GFX card if you are running higher game settings. Another thing is FOV- it isn’t as high as other PCVR headsets, but 110 deg is nothing to scoff at- still a nice wide image IMO. Most importantly, it’s still cheaper than most PCVR headsets. Last of all, if you so choose, this one can go mobile! I know that the quality of the visuals may be a little underwhelming to those who have been using high-end PCs to run their VR, but the fact that it has been able to achieve the level of Fidelity that it has without the assistance of any external resources, is pretty crazy! Hope that helps! Also, thanks for taking the time to comment- I really appreciate it! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman Well I have a RTX 4070 which isn't a bad card. I asked to see if there were any quality of life changes that would help my pcvr experience. Maybe make a video explaining the pcvr side once you get hold of a new PC rig. But thanks for the information anyways
@@Electrical010 Which headset are you currently using? I’ve spent quite a bit of time with other headsets so I could definitely give a little more info- Just need to know what I’m comparing and what things are you hoping will improve beyond the obvious- screen quality HDR, resolution, optic quality, “sweet spot” etc etc. Im here to help, Electrical!
Dude, how is it obvious!? 😂 there are countless headsets available for PCVR! At any rate, I want to make sure I give you an answer that actually applies, so i tend to avoid assuming anything. That said, if you are only using it on the PC, although the difference would certainly be noticeable, I don’t see it being worth the 500$ unless you plan on utilizing it as a standalone as well. Then again, that also depends on your finances- 500 might be peanuts to you, in which case- why the heck not!! Best of luck to you in the process and I hope wherever you end up it makes you happy! ✌🏼
My first VR headset despite following the VR sonce Oculus dev kit 1. The displays are perfectly sharp but many apps and games are not updated to new resolution which is a real shame. So far ive been enjoying many hours in Pokerstars (Vegas infinite) its the best free stationary game for me along with Bigscreen cinema. I am very happy I skipped Quest and Quest 2 to start at this point. Real shame about the comfort and accessories needed to truly enjoy this tech. Once 3rd parties release all their accessories my £480 purchase turns into £700 and thats a hard pill to swallow.
Hey Filip, I’m happy to hear that you are having a mostly positive experience so far. You aren’t wrong about the additional accessories that you might have to buy (and they aren’t cheap) I personally am pretty satisfied with the comfort of the headset in stock form. I will say, the elite strap makes it much easier to swap between users quickly, but at 70 dollars I can’t say that I’d recommend it. I have a pile of accessories here that I was planning on reviewing this weekend but I couldn’t seem to get this video done fast enough, so it will have to wait. Which accessories were you planning on purchasing?
I feel like the bigger storage is necessary if (like me) you use games with alot of mods My quest 2 is almost full with bonelab and it’s many mods and just vrchat and beatsaber and blade and sorcery, (plus questcraft) and with quest 3s higher quality, I’m sure the games will get bigger files, so I’ll be going with that
Hey Random, I didn’t consider DLC when I was thinking through my position on this, so thanks for mentioning that! The hardest part about recommending something to the world is trying to think of all the different ways people will be using something and sometimes i forget about the obvious ones such as DLC (derp) That’s why I’m so thankful for all of the thoughtful comments you guys leave!! Not only does it help me, it helps everyone tuning in. Thanks for taking the time, Random! I really do appreciate it! Hope you have a blast with your new quest when it arrives!! ✌🏼🤟🏼
Ok, question from a Vr non participant who after watching this and considering.....$ Why? I love the idea of physical participation in the playing of these games. That I can do. So, the question. Do you ware your glasses while playing? If so how comfortable are they?
Ya, I have to wear mine, and they did a great job of accommodating those of us that do need to use them. The facial interface has adjustable depth which will allow for some pretty chunky specs inside the headset. As far as comfort- there will be a little pressure added to the side of your head if wearing glasses inside, but I don’t think it affects the overall comfort in any meaningful way. We are all shaped a bit different though, so your mileage may vary! ✌🏼
RIGHT! I was hoping that people wouldn’t miss that part of the video 😂 You know we all like to skim around-which is totally fine, but then they might miss that callout!! Anyway, glad you enjoyed that and Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment, Tircom! Appreciate it! ✌🏼
I still find VR a little gimicky and after a month or 2 people tend to let the collect dust. I find that there isn't enough AAA groundbreaking content for them. Even though the VR market has been pretty big since around 2016. I am tempted by the Quest 3 but find that i'll love it for a month then shelf it. I've had the privilege of using the HTC Vive and Pro, Index, and others but still feels a bit far off.
Hey Chazbino, I think you make a very valid point here- I myself have also been in that position several times. I tend to not have much time for games these days (sadly) and when I do, I like to get into something that will really WOW me, BUT when said experiences are unavailable, to the shelf you go! I have been back and forth with VR since the original Vive and have had many amazing experiences- but I’ve also had a lot of downtime. Not sure quite yet if this will be the one to keep me hooked or not. Suppose that will be up the Devs and what sort of games/experiences are on the horizon. 🤞. Thanks for taking the time to leave that comment- I think that was a really great point to bring into the mix! Take care Chaz!! ✌🏼
If this is my 1st VR purchase, would the meta quest 3 , be the one to go for? I never went down the path of one that requires a PC, because I have always felt being tethered down to cable is just.... unfulfilling and distracting. @@NigelWorkman
Dang, Prodigy- I don’t know how, but I hadn’t even considered that possibility. I think that is a really difficult question, actually- is but not because they are so similar, rather, they are soooo different! They both offer a features that wouldn’t be possible on the other- number one being the portability of the quest, and we definitely don’t want to forget the inclusion of mixed reality. On the other hand, there is additional tech in the PSVR that really helps to enhance the gaming experience, such as the eye tracking, or the amazing haptics of the controllers. I really enjoy the flexibility of the quest, But to me, I have never had an experience on that headset that made me feel as awestruck as something like call of the mountain did. On the other hand, you could always connect the quest up to a high-end PC and enjoy the best of both worlds. We could probably list off countless reasons why a person should pick one over the other but I think the few that I listed up above are a good starting point. Hopefully that was in some way helpful to you and will allow you to make a choice that you’ll be happy with! Thanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it! ✌🏼
Hey mega, I did mention the battery life, I just based it off of my experience rather than what others are saying. As far as the dead pixels, I wasn’t aware of that problem- If they were present in mine, I would have certainly mentioned it. There will likely be many flaws that surface overtime and if I make a follow up video I will definitely list those. This is a review of MY first week with it, Mega- not a list of bad experiences and hardware failures listed online. Maybe get one and try it for yourself? See who you actually agree with? I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment either way. Take care, Mega! ✌🏼 PS- please consider removing the thumbs down….trying to keep my ratio above 96%! Thank you! 🙏✌🏼😂
@@NigelWorkman I don't have that kind of money for my entertaiment "needs", i still have a rift s that works just fine. It's not so much as what others are saying, 2 hours of use and no way to recharge on the go is ridiculus for that pricepoint. Dead pixels is not a flaw, but faulty manufacturing. You can spot them easily but looking at black or white backgrounds.
I hear ya man. Totally understand why a person would want to be aware of those flaws before purchasing. Especially since if it turns out that the dead pixel situation is a mass problem across all devices rather than a single batch of bad displays. What I read is they are sourcing from several different manufacturing plants for the displays, so perhaps one of them is putting out bad ones. I can’t say for sure that that is the case though. As far as the battery, I’d have to give you a little pushback on the fact that you’re knocking it for not being able to charge on the go. it is a portable device after all and the nature of any portable device that will have only so much battery life and that is an expectation that I think most people would have and understand. A person who did plan on taking it with them all over the place would probably pack a portable battery solution in order to get some more time out of it- at least that is what I plan on doing, which is why I spent some time talking about those options in the video. At any rate, I appreciate the conversation and the fact that you’re mentioning these things. This will certainly be helpful to many of those out there, who would be unwilling to take a chance on something given the fact that these problems exist. Take care, man! Keep on enjoying that rift as long as you possibly can because I agree it is still perfectly capable! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman You are right that as far as portable headsets are concerned, the quest is an awesome device, but i feel that too many people ignore the flaws of the device. That being said it is probably the best choice out there atm, but i wouldn't know, as i don't have one. Enjoy your quest 3, i will probably get one in the end.....A few dead pixels never killed anyone.😁 Ps changed the tumbs to up

Hey mega, I did mention the battery life, I just based it off of my experience rather than what others are saying. As far as the dead pixels, I wasn’t aware of that problem- If they were present in mine, I would have certainly mentioned it. There will likely be many flaws that surface overtime and if I make a follow up video I will definitely list those. This is a review of MY first week with it, Mega- not a list of bad experiences and hardware failures listed online. Maybe get one and try it for yourself? See who you actually agree with? I appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment either way. Take care, Mega! ✌🏼
PS- please consider removing the thumbs down….trying to keep my ratio above 96%! Thank you! 🙏✌🏼😂
@@NigelWorkman I don't have that kind of money for my entertaiment "needs", i still have a rift s that works just fine. It's not so much as what others are saying, 2 hours of use and no way to recharge on the go is ridiculus for that pricepoint. Dead pixels is not a flaw, but faulty manufacturing. You can spot them easily but looking at black or white backgrounds.
I hear ya man. Totally understand why a person would want to be aware of those flaws before purchasing. Especially since if it turns out that the dead pixel situation is a mass problem across all devices rather than a single batch of bad displays. What I read is they are sourcing from several different manufacturing plants for the displays, so perhaps one of them is putting out bad ones. I can’t say for sure that that is the case though. As far as the battery, I’d have to give you a little pushback on the fact that you’re knocking it for not being able to charge on the go. it is a portable device after all and the nature of any portable device that will have only so much battery life and that is an expectation that I think most people would have and understand. A person who did plan on taking it with them all over the place would probably pack a portable battery solution in order to get some more time out of it- at least that is what I plan on doing, which is why I spent some time talking about those options in the video. At any rate, I appreciate the conversation and the fact that you’re mentioning these things. This will certainly be helpful to many of those out there, who would be unwilling to take a chance on something given the fact that these problems exist. Take care, man! Keep on enjoying that rift as long as you possibly can because I agree it is still perfectly capable! ✌🏼
@@NigelWorkman You are right that as far as portable headsets are concerned, the quest is an awesome device, but i feel that too many people ignore the flaws of the device. That being said it is probably the best choice out there atm, but i wouldn't know, as i don't have one. Enjoy your quest 3, i will probably get one in the end.....A few dead pixels never killed anyone.😁
Ps changed the tumbs to up
@@MegaGovert Dude, you’re the MAN for changing that- HECK YAA!! 😂😂😂 If you do end up getting one, let me know- I’d love to hear about your experience with it. Take care, Mega! Thanks again for taking the time to hash this all out with me- much appreciated ✌🏼🍻
