HP Reverb G2 vs Meta Quest 2

I really like the way the audio speakers sit away from my ear; it's gives you great, immersive sound without covering your ear completely, making you blind AND deaf to your surroundings. Head tracking seems just the tiniest bit laggy compared to a base station setup, but definitely tolerable (my graphics card is an RTX 2060).

Overall I'd recommend this headset for a good, "true" mid-range PCVR experience.

* The audio is fine. I'm used to the fancy valve index audio, but tbh the audio from the quest 2 headset is also completely fine, and I like being more easily able to talk to people around me irl.

Most of you won't have an issue, but if your head is on the large or small size, it's definitely something to consider.

"Well, hence this meeting. On another note, the oculus quest 2 is selling gangbusters in the vr space, but people really don't like the forced Facebook sign-in"

Unfortunately, the museum is reproduced with such low-quality assets and shoddy coding that it's nearly worthless. The layout of the museum is recreated with very simple geometry and textures, making it feel like a Second Life environment. Crowd sounds abruptly start and stop as you move around, breaking all immersion. Some of the assets of the individual exhibits are too blurry to read, or flicker because of poorly defined geometry

I didn't actually realize just how much visual quality I was missing with the old strap. I would definitely recommend this head strap as an upgrade to the stock strap.

Valve Index: Best controllers and visual/tactile comfort, very good valve, was a bitch to order from Australia

Getting **consistently lowest possible latency** is very important for enjoyable gameplay. The freedom of not being tethered and still play your PC games is the best part here.

Having recently purchased a Quest 2, it's absolutely infuriating how good this $300 device is. This is coming from someone who has used the Index, HP Reverb G2 and Vive Pro 2. Why can't any of these companies release something that is at least competitive? Index is $1000 with less then stellar visuals, Vive Pro 2 is even more expensive with easily the worst optics of any VR headset I have ever used and the HP Reverb G2 is so frustratingly close to being awesome. It's tracking just kind of kills it in a lot of situations

So, the Quest 2 is a steal! It's a cheap headset that's good enough, and since Facebook is subsidizing the cost, you really can't beat it's value!

After spending a few days of troubleshooting and wanting to pull my hair out, I fixed a lot of the issues which ultimately came down to WMR not supporting the newer AMD motherboards with gen4 PCIE. Switching from gen4 to gen3 solved a lot of issues, but some persisted, enough to still frustrate me. After beating a glitchy HL:Alyx, I boxed my HMD up and sat it in the corner for about 7 months until my buddy got a Quest 2 and wanted to play some games with me. I gave it another shot, why not

Christmas day came and my wife and sister had bought me some goodies for my Quest 2 (they had purchased them a while back, and they also were not aware of just how serious this issue was).

This is where the G2 falls apart. The top strap has a tendency to pluck and catch my hair when adjusting it, and I absolutely hate, beyond words, the velcro straps. Getting it into the correct position on my head is an absolute nightmare, and I have a method of adjusting the fit per eye (I dial in the clarity on my left eye, then I do my right eye) and doing this while the headset is loose on the G2 is impossible, where as on the Index I use my hand to push it against my face, and I use my other hand once my eyes are dialed in to screw it into place. Being able to do this in one motion is crucial, and it's impossible with the G2 as it has three velcro straps for adjustment that require both of your hands, and multiple motions to adjust

I installed this strap setup and the headaches are pretty much entirely gone. I've played for at least one full charge every day since I got this product and played for ~12 hours (including a charge break) the day before writing this review and the difference is beyond night and day. The worst thing I've experienced is occasionally a hair might get tugged but that has happened maybe once or twice so far. The strap and back pad are nice and soft

- You love the HP reverb 2 and valve index **but** want to loose the chains and go wireless without having to buy a Facebook data mining product.

I mean, everyone knows that the "Official" products are better, right? Not this time. The stock strap is always either too loose or too tight and, after a little while, it just starts to loosen up on its own..

-Controllers aren't as comfortable to use as the Oculus controllers I have with my Quest. The HP ones are very unwieldy.

They feel simultaneously too small, and yet too big. The nubby handles results in my pinkie finger wrapping around the bottom (think that picture of Andre the Giant holding a can of beer), but the huge-ass grip button means my middle finger isn't wrapped firmly around the controller, so I'm holding it with the two weakest fingers on the human hand. The plastic feels cheap and makes me sweat a lot, the bulky sensor ring makes it feel top-heavy and like it will topple out of my hands if I don't hold on (even though it actually won't).

**I hope you have time to watch the** [**video**]([URL REMOVED] even a little, there are timestamps!** Plus maybe I can entice you that we show you gameplay *(on max settings, custom resolution 100%/150%)*, performance thoughts, some through the lens shots, FOV measurement table *(with a thin VR cover too)*, plus much more...

Quest 2 is amazing buddy dont hold back its gonna be in everyone's house soon that has any think to do with gaming to be fair why sit behind the screen when u can be in it !! Happy gaming ladies and gents
