![]() ![]() When testing the headset for our Meta Quest Pro review we found this design was perfect for mixed-reality experiences, however, it can impact immersion when in VR. Rather than creating a seal around your eyes like the Quest 2, the Quest Pro leaves a gap that allows you to see the real world at all times. Unfortunately, one change the Quest Pro makes to its design might be less universally liked. The Quest Pro’s controllers also have a much more premium, less plasticky feel. This means that the tracking is more accurate, that the Quest Pro can still know where your hands are when the controllers are out of sight, and that you aren’t as likely to accidentally bump one controller into the other when your hands are close together. That’s because instead of using a tracking ring like the Quest 2’s controllers – which the headset’s cameras follow to know where your hands are – the Quest Pro’s controllers have their own in-built cameras and tracking capabilities. ![]() Not only are the handsets rechargeable – meaning you no longer need to stock AA batteries for your VR headset – but they’re better at tracking too. The Meta Quest Pro weighs 722g, while the Oculus Quest 2 only weighs 503g.Īnother improvement the Quest Pro makes is to its controllers. This design means the Quest Pro spreads its weight across your head better, helping it to feel lighter and comfier than the Quest 2 despite it weighing more. The Meta Quest Pro solves this problem by swapping the elastic strap for a padded plastic one – which holds the headset to your head more securely – and moving the battery from the headset’s front to the back (placing it in the strap). That’s not to say the design of the Oculus Quest 2 is terrible, but it certainly has its fair share of faults compared to Meta’s newer headset.įor a start, the Quest 2 is very front-heavy – all of the components are stored in the big box that covers your eyes – and the strap is fine, but doesn’t do a very good job of counterbalancing the weight. The first area where you can see why the Quest Pro deserves its name is its design improvements. That said, the Quest Pro does offer a few upgrades that might make its price more worthwhile. So if affordability is your most important factor then clearly the Quest 2 is the better Meta headset for you. While the Quest Pro is $500 / £500 / AU$720 cheaper than it was at launch – following a surprise price Cut Meta gave its VR headsets in March 2023– it’s still over double the price of either Quest 2 model. ![]()
