Meta Quest 2 - Advanced All-In-One VR Headset - 256 GB

Product Information

As you can adjust the bit rate to be higher in the Oculus debug tool, this cable won’t allow you to go much higher than 250 which provides very little impact in image quality compared to the default 150; I find myself scaling it up to 500 to see a noticeable change, as below this the compression is very real.

On the note of linking, some computers (desktops specially as any laptop I have tried which supports USBC charges the headset fine) do not charge the headset when linked, this is a motherboard power distribution issue as some do not distribute enough power to the ports to charge the headset, most are 5-10watts which will not charge the headset and instead let it slowly drain.

Switching on the headset I was greeted with the introduction which shows graphics / animations pertaining to button use and Oculus Guardian setup. For those unfamiliar with VR, Guardian setup is a virtual line which is draw around the room (with the controller) with the threshold set at point where you might bump into things. Store your Quest 2 safely, wherever you are, with a dual-shell outer casing that keeps your headset and accessories out of harm Some might say that Quest users have already been ‘spoiled’ but it’s still ultimately a matter of how the Quest technology has improved. So, the burning question is; Did the quality of the image blow me away as a previous Quest user? …..to which the answer is a definite ‘no’.

Keep your experience smooth and seamless, even as high-speed action unfolds around you, with a super-fast processor and high-resolution display

The Oculus Quest 2 is the best VR headset for most people, and has access to a ton of popular immersive games, fitness apps and entertainment experiences. However, before you buy, you’ll have to decide how much free space you want for apps and games. Protect your Quest 2 on the move with a contoured foam inner moulding holds contents in place as you travel, absorbing rattles and bumps Any cable that is USBC 3.1 or 3.2 will work just fine for link but the faster and more well built ones will work far better, the one I use is capable of 2.9GBPS (2900mbps) and works quite well, but even then there are still some compression artifacts. A dual zip makes it easier to open and close your Carrying Case, while internal mouldings hold everything secure without the need for straps or harnessesA built-in battery lets you explore further for longer as you discover a growing library of over 350 titles across gaming, social/multiplayer, fitness and entertainment. Incredible social spaces and multiplayer arenas let you meet, play and build communities with people from all over the world. My Oculus Quest 2 256gb arrived a few hours ago. I swore to myself I do my work, though I found myself opening it within half an hour or so and there I was again experiencing the virtual world ironically within a world which is currently in chaos. The controls are mere symbols now without text, so as a new user you’d have to go by trial and error rather than knowing what you are pressing. I’d hope there is a setting to make this otherwise.

An integrated 10,000mAh battery giving up to three hours of gameplay or 10 hours of entertainment, combined with a comfort-driven design, lets you explore deeper and further for longer, every time you step into VR. The colour of the headset (and controllers) isn’t white as I initially assumed - rather a very light grey. The surround looks white when remove from the box, but this is in fact a paper covering which is removed. Buttons are further apart and the top face, previously a teardrop shape is now circular and features a place where the user can rest their thumb.

Be truly free to roam in VR with a wireless headset, intuitive controls, a built-in battery, easy setup and no PC or console needed

Still, there seems to be a slight improvement. Highs, low and midrange are on point, making experiences aurally immersive. The box (pictured) comprises of a cellophane wrapped outer sleeve covering a nice looking natural coloured box (pictured) with a liftable lid. It feel like quality of reminiscent of Mac products. Carry your Quest 2 in comfort. Lightweight construction, soft hand strap and rounded profile make your Quest 2 and accessories an easy carry Crisp, clear and quality. I did feel that it was better than the Quest sound quality, though it was up full volume whereas I usually listen at half that volume. Take VR anywhere - With no additional equipment needed, you can take your lightweight and portable Quest 2 wherever you go in the real worldThe meta quest is great hands down, but if you plan to use this there's a lot of issues with the base version If you’re curious of the video I’m talking about, you can find it on YouTube: “Thrillseeker quest 2 extreme torture test” Immersive Entertainment - Get the best seat in the house to live concerts, groundbreaking films, exclusive events and more. EDIT: Having played for a good few hours now, I can say with confidence that this is a significant improvement in the graphics department....viewing object CLOSE UP. This here is the clincher for all VR clarity. The very limit of the graphics are show when you look at things right next to the eyes, sync as holding up a weapon in a game. I noticed this in a big way when I bought and played Walkabout Mini Golf and viewing the course and it's detail from a birds eyes view. Absolutely intriguing. Crisp as 4K!
