Meta Quest

“The nice thing for me is I was able to pick up a brand new meta quest 3 still with receipt and warranty for €200 second hand”

“still the absolute best thing you can buy in this space in terms of value per dollar”

“Wonderful toy, even though I only use it about 90 minutes a month it is worthwhile for me to own.”

“Quest 3, Pico 4 etc are all great headsets which launched with amazing price points.”

“I love the Meta Quest 3 in terms of hardware but I haven't put the Quest on in 6 months because I don't play games so there is so little content.”

“you could sometimes end up having to go through all kinds of hoops to prove you weren't making a spam bot account”

“I think the software kept getting better except for the latest UI redesign intended to mimic Apple which is indeed terrible.”

“It'll automatically install them and in one case soft-bricked itself, forcing me to recover manually.”

“It was ok; better than squinting at a laptop screen, but not as good as a decent physical monitor.”

“the damn thing needs a new copy of meta quest ...whatever, installed every 2 weeks if I want to use it”

“as long as that device is hard-tethered to Facebook and its software, I’m better off as using it as a “dumb” headset”

“the all-in-one philosophy of the Meta Quest and Steam Frame is much more appealing than Apple's tethered battery brick”

“it was the first "ok, damn" app experience in the quest for me where it felt like you were there”

“My clients are able to truly understand the scale, the proportion of rooms, ceiling heights, and the smallest details.”

“Something I really love but don't put on much because it is like entering into a giant virtual empty park”

“I have 0 problem popping a Quest 2 in my backpack without even thinking about it”

“high res with WebXR support and adb (or equivalent), e.g. Quest 3 (ideally rooted but that's hard to come by)”

“The Quest 3S has color passthrough and it's hardly an Apple-level device, and it's $349 in comparison.”

“like an hour and a half / two hours into setup/onboarding, they lost interest, it went back in the box and never came out again”

“or the Meta Quest VR (which they've since gutted employment wise since the metaverse debacle).”

“It lets me have a smallish display on my desk and when I need it, I have 3 displays in VR.”

“maintaining perfect pose tracking using nothing but a Quest 3S strapped into a 3D printed bracket”

“it is fun to put the headset on and crash out on the couch and get things done”

“The Facebook brand is absolutely toxic imo, I think it's an incredibly understated reason for this product's failure.”

“the recent Meta headsets pulled in a lot of users who will stay, thanks to their price point and performance.”

“Palmer Luckey sold the company with condition the Oculus headsets would not need a facebook account to use it”

“It's really amazing as is and with higher resolution and better field of view it could be on another level altogether.”

“since the pestering to confirm age and the horizon worlds update the Meta VR devices have literally not been recharged”

“Is it an insane value for the $250 I paid for my Quest 3s last year at Target?”

“I have had an Oculus 2 for many years and while I love it, I rarely spend more than an hour or two a month using it”

“Ironically that's exactly what the Quest solved with SLAM, it really is plug and play, otherwise I would not have bought one”

“The Quest is ultimately an amazing piece of hardware with amazingly bad software.”

“The Quest 3 works offline with ALVR streaming over a private (non-Internet connected) WiFi network.”

“I love my Quest 1 but at this point it's looking more and more like it'll turn into a brick at some point.”

“The Quest 3 is already close to good enough to spend decent chunks of time in reading text. Just have breaks every 30m to avoid mild strain.”

“The recent quest browser have bug that prevent you from disabling spatial audio, rendering it not usable for watch video at all”

“The quest 3 is WAY better, and is way closer to making it feel like you are just looking through glass”

“Meta abandoned the Quest 1 very quickly. I bought a game when it came out and never got around to playing it”

“I really enjoyed my time with the Oculus Quest 2, but could not stomach having Meta in my house/on my network.”

“Amazing device! But I wanted to use it for a virtual monitor and all the software was terribly buggy.”
