Video Description

Thank you! :-D When it comes to Virtual Reality Meta's Quest headsets are by far the most popular devices on the market today thanks to their compelling experiences, ease of use and affordable pricing. The Quest 2 is currently the most widely used virtual reality device in the world, but Meta recently launched it's successor, the Quest 3. Now when it comes to technology, we all know the newer version of a product is typically the better product, but the Quest 3 sells for twice as much as the Quest 2 and those that have used a Quest 2 know it actually offers a pretty impressive virtual and mixed reality experience. So naturally the question arises whether or not the Quest 3 is a big enough step up to make it worth paying twice as much for? Since the Quest 3 launched in October of 2023 I've been using it and have found the most notable differences between it and it's predecessor. In this video I cover everything from the physical differences between both headsets to media consumption (yes, you can watch movies and TV shows on the Quest 2 and Quest 3 on GIANT virtual screens), to the weight of each headset, to the difference in the lenses, the controllers, the battery life, the display tech, the processors powering each headset and using them for PC VR. For anyone that is considering buying a Quest 3, whether you're thinking about upgrading from the Quest 2 or looking to purchase your first VR headset, this video will give you the best comparison you can find online to help you decide whether Meta's latest and greatest headset is worth your hard earned money, or if the Quest 2 is the better choice for you. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.
