DONT BUY THE QUEST 3... YET! 

One of the best comments to see on here, thank you for sharing your experience and welcome 🙏🏼

chat is this a bot

lol wait it might be

@@BeyondtheBox1 Hard to say these days. I've been on RU-vid since 2006 with my channels and people accuse me of being a bot because I am literally under every video. LOL I'm retired and I live, breathe, etc and drink RU-vid. I get the, "I see you everywhere" comments all the time. Hah. Have a great week, Cade!

yeah he is in drugs

It’s not £400 worth of big upgrade though is it really in reality it just looks a little bit better not a lot. That is what people should understand before thinking about spending that amount of money

LCD lenses, not OLED (which even the first HTC Vive has), terrible contrast and lens glare. Compared to light house tracking, its terrible, also evil facebook/zuck.

All anyone has to do is BUY IT test it your self. MAKE SURE you can return it.

I'm guessing there will be an Oled version soon provided there is not some technical limitation to prevent that for working. That I will buy

Wasted a ton of money

@@BeyondtheBox1Doesn’t sound like it was wasted to them.

@@tigolbiddies5444people are bad with money what can I say

you don't have to say anything@@BeyondtheBox1. My dude is happy with their purchase

Wait what

For game updates?

That’s your battery head strap that’s the issue. Plenty are already breaking online. Most not taking a charge at all.

Daisy chaining them allowed for me to get both fully charged, although took way more time then it should have.@@BeyondtheBox1

Very helpful, was getting an elite strap also for my quest 3

Thank you. We are being lied to. I feel q3 will fail as it's not what it needed to be and where the hell are the GAME!? I've gone from day 1 to hard pass for now. The massive meta lawsuit will prob kill meta too :(

it would be great if this battery strap could working.........

@@antonycappelli8160 yeah I’m about to buy attachments for the quest 2 head straps and use my kiwi and see how that goes

But you told us not to...

IF you still intend to not wait, i provided a link @@y_zass

Most of the people commenting are either brand whores when it comes to certain companies like meta or steam (for steam decks) but would never know how to compare for quality themselves because all they do is buy whatever the company puts out and calls it the greatest purchase they’ve ever made.

It also depends on if they had a quest 2 or nothing prior

@@BeyondtheBox1I have the quest 3. I agree, if there aren’t specific game upgrades you’re waiting for it is NOT worth it. I had the quest 2 in the past. All I really appreciate is the pancake lenses. The battery is even more ASS than he said in the video.

So quest 2 if you watch Netflix or even vids streamed from phone you get max 1080p where with Quest 3 you can get your full 4k quality vids. So games may not be there yet but media is...

@@makotoxpower9826 I was watching Amazon prime video last night in full 4K in the headset. It was incredible.

Do you have a 40 series card? Unfortunately AV1 only works with the 40 series (Cries in 3080Ti)

@@Twister-1 also works with 7000 series AMD cards

Good luck with your surgery!!!

What is this free silicone interface from Meta you’re talking about?

@@PichettoFratame this was for the quest 2 I don’t think they do it anymore due to updates

Hope you enjoyed and hope I earn your sub!! Check my newest quest 3 video if you’re interested in my girlfriend’s first experience :)

Thank you brother! Quest 2 is perfectly fine for your son. And a 3 for yourself 😉

Glad I could help! Hope you subbed :)

I have the quest 2 and 3. Out of the box the 3 definitely isn't very comfortable but I think it has the same potential as the Q2 for comfort. Worth it is a very personal thing. Depends on how much money you have.

@@Notagain640 put more than $75 of accessories on it and it’s the most comfortable headset I’ve ever used now 💪🏼

@@BeyondtheBox1 What head strap did you get? vrbo? Did you also add battery?

I added the Aubika 8000mAh head strap (no battery noise or issues). To be honest, the Q3 built-in battery is big enough for me. 1-2 hours at a time is enough. However, I found that without the battery, the headset wanted to gradually slip down. I found it quite annoying having to constantly lift it up. I can't tolerate much force on the facial interface, so I couldn't clamp the headset to my face. The battery on the strap helps to counterbalance the weight of the headset so I can have the facial interface hardly touching my face. Of course overall its now a heavier unit and I would prefer it to be lighter, but you can't have everything. It's a pity Meta couldn't remove the battery from the headset and put it in the strap only or do something similar that would make the front unit lighter and provide counterbalance, but I guess they dismissed this as an option.

Only worth it if you play PC VR otherwise not worth ut

@@BeyondtheBox1 disagree, as pixels per eye makes an even larger difference than a small reso bump, but then you get the reso bump anyway. If you put a decent strap on that thing so you can actually have the visor angled to your eyes properly that alone makes a diff. I'm guessing you have noticed that if you press the visor slightly against your face, and rotate it up and down a bit, you can get a much clearer image but try as you might, the straps won't hold it there. That's what the cushioned plastic arms on the bobo headstrap are for, to set the ride height of the visor, while the straps are solely for keeping the visor snug to your face. Also balances the front heavy weight. On the quest 3's pancake lenses, you don't get that effect nearly as much, as the image is clearer from many angles, not just perfectly head on. but the increased weight while still being pretty front heavy added to single band strap doing the pressing of visor against face AND dictating ride head really does make it more uncomfortable until you get a proper strap.

Very good point I don’t know myself

No. Do not at least not yet. The quest 2 is more than perfect for your usage right now. Wait til after Christmas, they have some promotion coming in February.

@@BeyondtheBox1 Got it, thanks but what about the quality of picture of quest 3 is it really better than on quest 2 for movies?

@bodieh1261 does your Q3 hold a charge setup as PCVR? I cannot get my Q3 to hold any charge while using the Link Cable- this is my first set and intended to use only as PCVR- but am disappointed the battery dies while Linked-

Q1 to Q3 is an amazing upgrade and wow you really held out! I could never be so patient haha

@@BeyondtheBox1 I really did 😂The Quest 2 didn't seem like a good enough upgrade at the time, and I was still very much enjoying my Quest 1. I still do enjoy it but I think it's finally time to upgrade. It also won't receive any new upgrades in the future. Waiting patiently for my Quest 3 to arrive.

@@kedrickkonkle2804 Good to hear that it's a worthwhile upgrade. I got the ZyberVR elite strap which is one of the cheaper but more highly rated elite straps so far. I'm hoping it helps with comfort.

I'm still on Quest 1, and until I can play PCVR via USB for a few hours without any of this failed charging crap I am not getting a Quest 3. I'd sooner go with Pico 4 that has none of those issues.@@BeyondtheBox1

I'm in the same situation. Still using my Quest 1 but now only using airlink which works perfectly for me. Still considering if the resolution/comfort upgrade is worth it. I like the darkness that OLED gives. I actually bought Quest 2 when it came out but quickly refunded it because of the greyness I saw while playing Arizona Sunshine in the caves. Glad to hear you guys think its worth it.

I agree. Thank you so much :) hope you subbed!

I got the 2 for Christmas this morning, my wife and son thought I wouldn’t like it cause they watched so many reviews but that’s all they or we could afford, I told them “do not always listen to reviews especially the ones that sound like they are making a ton of money for a perfect review” long story short I found this channel and showed them and we are all loving it

@@BeyondtheBox1love your channel lots

If budget quest 2 for $200 or under if no budget get quest 3 for $500

For any entry level purchase I'd always go for as good is remotely reasonably priced. If you're not a chronic updater you know you're going to be skipping the next generation or three, so grab the product that will tide you over until the bait's too tasty to ignore

Which headstrap? My Kiki quest 3 just delivered the battery strap today and it’s so nice!

Huge leap forward have fun

How so? “Because it has AR” ? 🥴

​@BeyondtheBox1 If you're extremely picky about certain things, expect perfection, or don't notice things like the frame rate and graphics limitations of the Quest 2, then sure, the Quest 3 is barely an improvement. Personally though, I'd get a Quest 3 for the improved lenses, increased FOV, and the improved CPU alone. If you're into VR, then just those 3 things justify buying one IMO. Almost everything is improved on the Q3 though, with the most notable exception being the battery life and microphone, which are a slight step backwards. As far as the battery is concerned, just to let you know, it's not because the battery is smaller on the Q3, it's actually bigger but not by enough to compensate for the higher power consumption of the Q3. Id agree that the roughly 15% reduction in battery life and quality of the microphone are not great traits but neither are deal breakers for me because they can both be resolved with add on's. (backup battery and separate microphone) So those are the two biggest issues for me, other than that, there are improvements across the board, even if in some instances there's only a slight improvement like with the new head strap being only a bit more comfortable or the new controllers. The touch plus controllers actually do increase the tracking accuracy a bit over the Q2 BTW. Then you have the MAJOR improvements. I mentioned the new CPU and lenses above but there are quite a few other things that are greatly improved. For one last obvious example, look at the pass through. You're right to point out that it has noticeable flaws but it isn't even in the same ballpark as the Q2s pass through so if someone is looking for an upgrade from the Q2s pass through and they don't have a ridiculous 3000+ dollars for an Apple Vision Pro, I doubt that many would feel as if the Q3 weren't a massive improvement over the Q2s and that's the point. To be fair, you have to judge the Q3 based on what your getting for the money. The Q3 is still a budget headset. If it's held to the standard of a 3000 dollar headset then of course you'll be disappointed but for most people the improvements will be obvious almost immediately if they're upgrading from a Quest 2.

Hope i earned your trusted sub! Check out my newest video it’s my girlfriends first VR ever experience she went insane 🤣

Hope you enjoy the quest 2! Don’t feel left out it’s a great headset. Hope I gained your trust and your sub! My girlfriend is in a new video of mine trying the quest 3 for the first time if you’re interested!

I completely agree. Only thing missing from Q3 is comfort upgrades, and that will be available from 3rd party soon. I find the VR experience much better with Q3, and I've been using Q2 since launch.

Yeah anti meta yet I’ve bought every vr headset they’ve made since 2014 you’re an actual bot. Let me guess your mom gave you lunch money and you spent it on the quest 3? 🥴🤣

yep i agree and also with pancake lenses it's so much easier to show other people the magic of VR, because of the huge sweet spot. @@martin90000

Yo, im on ps5 psvr2, lack of content espacially racing, rally games, no VR support...I was bout to get high end pc, with vr, I thought bout q3

Haven't seen Ltt's quest 3 review. 10x more in depth

@@itwasntmebro2669 when his is scripted and done by a team of 5+ people to produce the video yeah it probably will be…? But does he tell you the truth or does he try to sell you every product ?

Halo is super bright. I hate it. I’m not sure about the sweet spot yet

Sweet spot is.. THE ENTIRE LENS. It's basically a night and day difference to the point where when I compared the Quest 2 side by side with the quest 3, I almost couldn't understand how I was satisfied with that. loll

@@LARVideos Yeah I'm not sure what headset he's using but its not the one every other reviewer is using. Maybe he needs a replacement

I don't know what this guy is on about. I have both Q2 and Q3 as well as Reverb G2 and I use them for PCVR, Quest 3 is amazing clarity side to side. there is no 'sweet spot', it's all just sweet. As for the comfort, these guys just don't know how to adjust a headset, most people wear the strap too low on their head. If you want to poke holes in the Quest 3 launch, you should pick on the battery life as right now it's not very good even with the elite strap. Most people are augmenting the battery with an external battery bank, then it's fine.

Also subbed ! Hahah of course

Very good plan and thank you i appreciate you :)

Hey man! Sorry this reply is late, but if pancake lenses sound good to you I would definitely drop the extra $250 on a Q3. Especially just for pcvr/ flight sim, it will work for years and years to come. Let me know if you already decided, I get my Q3 on Wednesday so I could report back on the difference in flight sim on Q2 vs Q3!

@@portersstuff377 I picked up a Q3 last week and it's awesome! It's sharper and more clear straight out of the box than the HP ever was. I had to tweak and tweak the HP. Q3 is better without the adjustments, even though I will dial it in as I use it. Anyway, Q3 is a good choice. Thanks and enjoy!

@@jiml5233 Hey man glad to hear as mine gets here Wednesday! I ordered some prescription lenses too so I can play without glasses!

Yeah 256 should have been the minimum. That’s a difference of $10-15 max per headset.

Honestly from what I’ve heard on Reddit and some others, the quest seems to do much better in natural light as opposed studio light, so I’d reccomend trying to go out and see if window light or just natural softer lighting is better

Glad you love it! Great first purchase! Hope i earned your trusted sub! Check out my newest video it’s my girlfriends first VR ever experience she went insane 🤣

If you got a product you want me to review let me know!

@@Crunchy360 for me the mixed reality is something I wouldn't want to lose, but as a mainly pcvr person I think you're right. I never really heard great things about the pico so avoided it. I only got the 128gb model of the quest 3 and am happy enough coming from quest 2, I don't agree with the hate as coming to a q3 feels like a huge step forward. If the pico 5 can trump MR and still have display port I'll jump to that (if rumors turn out to be true).

It’s worth maybe $400

It's well over £180 difference. On Black Friday period Currys were selling the 128Gb Quest 2 with elite strap and a carry case for £250 (and I got a 7% discount on top of that due to company discount). A Quest 3 is £480, Elite Strap is £70 and a third party carry case would be at least £25. So actually it's £575 which is £325 more than the Quest 2 deals that were around. But if you just consider the entry level headsets at current prices the Q2 is £250 and the Q3 is £480. So that's £230 more. Nearly double.

Simple solution to the battery issue by another couple batteries and have them charged up and ready to swap out. That’s a simple thing to do.

If you're buying a new Quest 2 you're a fool I got one for $100 used.

We’re in 2023 man, you’re losing your mind lol

No I don’t but you can’t go wrong with a quest 2. Best I could recommend for the price. Quest 3 is a little too expensive

Same same same

All of this is on the quest 2 except mixed reality…

​@@BeyondtheBox1 Sure but the Quest 3 has better screen resolution and a stronger processor. These things do matter when it comes to a better quality output. Therefore i went with the Quest 3. It was kind of a no brainer for me.

If you connect your quest 2 to your pc for games like me you get best graphics allready then stronger processor becames a disadvantage because of the weak battery..And it seems it cant keep up even with charging at the same time now this is a certain reason for not to buy it for me.. I use it very long hours and when i plug it to a wall charger i need it to be alive..@@Melodias102

Right why is it not an oled

Because it's already 600.

And why is there no 12gb memory?

@@ruudboek Because it's already 600 lol

Quest 3! Wait til pico 5 comes out

Yeah it’s such a lie, such a marketing scheme. These RU-vidrs LIED.

Get Warplanes WW1 and play on both Q2 and Q3 . Fist encounter is fun

Hopefully they'll improve the battery life and other problems (like the storage I think) of the q3 because I want one but I don't want to spend 500 dollars+ just for it to die in less than 2 hours

@@Crunchy360 I was talking about resolution. Strap is comfortable for me, just hard adjusting it. I ordered the popular Bobovr M3 head strap $50. Q3 Battery can and has lasted almost 2 hours, it depemds on how much you use pass through with 3rd camera. Again the Bobo strap has battery packs. Quest Pro $1,000 for 30% less pixels, only 90hz, no depth sensor, lesser color pass through, no auto bordering and is being fazed out. $500 vs $1,000 yo math is distorted

They've improved battery life adding a downgrade option. I have mixed feelings. I feel meta let us down with software. Nothing new at launch. Never trust the reviewers who are under meta's thumb. I like it but until we get a good reason it's too close to the q3

Glad it was helpful! Hope you subbed :)

You can adjust the bitrate. You got compression? Turn up your bitrate. I play my games at 250mbps bitrate and...

Thanks for watching! 🫶🏼🙏🏼

How do you work for 6 hours, while the battery only lasts 2...

​@@MegaGovert I assume he uses powerbank batteries capable of 22.5 watts or more. The problem with the Quest 2 batteries is that even the best ones only give 15 watts (5V 3A) and that's less of what the Q3 consumes, so the headset keeps discharging, and eventually, dies. I have to test it yet, but in forums say that a 22.5 watts (9v 2.5A) is able to keep the Q3 alive.

@@Crunchy360 INIU Power Bank 22.5W PD3.0 QC4.0 10000mAh 22.53€ at Amazon, and tested today. Q3 at 33% battery, I plug the power bank and the power on the headset grows to 71% battery... when I left for dinner with a 16% still left on the Power Bank, I'm very happy with it. 😃

The battery alone is an issue. They should have put the battery in the head strap and made it bigger and the strap standard.

@@MegaGovert easy I use immersed and I use the charging cable

Most people say it’s uncomfortable so maybe your face is lucky

@BeyondtheBox1 ya, maybe 😄

Honestly (in my opinion) this is a upgrade to my psvr But I'm still concerned about the battery life and storage capacity but the eye and face tracking won't really matter to me mostly because I just want to play games like contractors, B&S etc and i wont really notice it but either way it'll still be an upgrade to me I never bought\used the meta's headsets (besides the q1 but that wasn't mine) so hopefully I can get the best experience from the vr headsets

It's horrible for me. Cannot believe VR cover didn't release a facial interface with Pu leather cover at launch of the Quest 3. It's basically unusable without that.
