My local MicroCenter has this for $80 new, and I still think it's not worth it. It's meant for enterprise so there's not much you could do with it. Just spend $150 on a used quest 2 if you want a headset.

Yeah exactly.

The money spent here could be used on a Quest. I know because I returned this one.

There's many problems with this headset (not with the hardware but the limitations, and discontinued support on apps), and those problems aren't something as affordable as a Quest when compared to the cost of this one.

IMHO for this headset, I would only personally buy it for $50 or less. But even then that's just the SD effect at work.

VR dev here, unless you absolutely need this for a collection or a museum or you just want to fark with some out of date hardware/software stuff that also is no longer supported then go ahead. But this is not for anybody looking to get into VR or to experience VR as it is now. This is basically the HTC version of the Quest (free-roam all-in-one) before the Quest and mostly for the enterprise, Asian, and VR arcade market. They are now on the third version of this and even it is a year or two old now.

You can expect to not be able to play anything that you are thinking about and are heavily limited to the Viveverse scam software that mandates you subscribe for a year or else you can't use it. The few things that you will get to work will make you regret spending money on this.

A lot of the games are just shit or completely abandoned and this technologically doesn't even compete with a Quest 1 (which also isn't supported anymore and it is newer in relation) at this point.

My professional advice? Take that $150 bucks and go to your nearest pawn shop. You'll find a Quest 2 there for about the same price. Buy that and be happy that you did so. Get a quality USB 3.0 cable and hook it up to Steam. Now you can play the entire PC library as well as the standalone Quests titles and it still is current gen. The Quest 3 is for psychos like me who have to have the new thing, want to develop for it or people who want to mess around with some of the mixed reality stuff of which there is very little and no e beyond novelty to justify paying twice as much than a used Quest 2.

Hope that helps.

Well said.

There's no reason to get this device when you can get an actually supported headset like quest 2 for around the same price.

Also, the market is flooded with used quest 2 headsets. Parents bought these, kids got bored with them within a few weeks, and they sat there collecting dust. You can find dozens of them on eBay, OfferUp, Craigslist, hell even goodwill.

Well this one probably has Netflix, YouTube, Spotify apps whereas vision pro does not. Tough choice

I bought this for $80 at Microcenter and am happy with my purchase. I have an AMD card and it works well using ReLive for Steam VR titles. I like that it has an OLED display and is more comfortable than a Quest 2 and 3 with the stock head strap. But at $150, a used Quest 2 is a better purchase.

Can anyone comment on these at Microcenter for 80, I'm not seeing it as even an item they stock on their website. I have a quest 3 just tempted for 80 as a media consumption device.

Very helpful.. if Quest 3 is for psychos like you, then who are those buying Vision Pro?!? 🤣🤣

Bought Quest 3 (first time ever VR) and day 1 was fascinating! Day 2 was interesting and fun. Day 3 it was common and slightly annoying. Day 4 following week, used it from 40 min week prior down to 20 mins, and decided to return it..

Simply don't see VR ever taking off until MAJOR design issues fixed, and there are many, none 'fixed' by apple.

Thanks for saving me time researching this thing. Not spending money is the best deal of all... 👍
