5.0 out of 5 stars A startling, occasionally disquieting virtual reality experience for all
First, a little background. I'm 73 years old. Above average in the activity department, adept mentally, although I am literally the only person I know who can lose something when standing perfectly still. I have four grandchildren. I hold down a full-time job as a writer, and a once-a-year gig teaching Rio Grande Board Games at the annual World Boardgaming Championships (WBC).It was at the most recent WBC that I was introduced to MetaQuest 2 and in particular, its bundled game called Beat Saber. I'd tried much cheaper VR systems, the ones that hold your phone and you have to download apps to run on them. This was an entirely different ball game. This was, I should note, not a function of the WBC. It just so happened that one of the site administrators had brought the system along with him and one evening, invited me to give it a try.The first issue that one should note is that once you put the headset for this system on, you are pretty much detached from the reality around you. This is fine as long as it's just you and the machine, but you can forget about being outside the machine and trying to instruct someone inside the machine about what's going on. As it happened, the man who introduced me to the system basically set it up for me - put it on his own head, clicked the right buttons - and then transferred the headset to me. With a couple of hand prompts and a word or two, Beat Saber, the program that comes with the MetaQuest 2 when you buy it these days, came on line and there I stood, with two controllers, one in each hand, as my eyes beheld on the screen in front of me, a series of square blocks coming at me, each with an arrow, pointing either up, down, right or left. The controllers operate two light sabers, one in each hand, and the object of this game is to swat the approaching blocks in the direction indicated by the arrow on them. There are also occasional large obstacles coming at you, like skinny walls, which appear like three-dimensional line drawings as they approach. You can't swat these aside and the idea is to avoid them. In most cases, this entails just stepping out of their way, either to the right or the left, but dependent on some choices you make in Beat Saber, some of these objects can be wide and impossible to avoid unless you duck as they approach. No way to jump over them.And there's music. At first, you don't pick up on the idea that your swatting activity with the light sabers can occasionally be rhythmic, linked to the beat of the music. . .Beat Saber. Get it? But you'll pick up on that fairly quickly. If you don't dance and would like to, this is a good program that will force-feed you the concept of moving your body in beat with the rhythm of a song. You don't realize you're dancing because as far as you're concerned, you're swatting colored boxes with virtual reality light sabers. A note of caution. People familiar with the system and how it works will delight in recording video of your attempts to play the game; unbeknowst to you, 'cause you're wrapped up in the headset and can't see anything but what the machine is giving you to see. These people recording you will be LOL-ing themselves breathless, as you contort yourself in a relatively confined space, trying to dodge things and swat at the colored boxes.I made the mistake of failing to heed the warning that if I didn't buy one of these systems soon, its price was going to go up. A lot. And it did. But I bought it anyway and am just beginning to tap into the available free apps and exploring the possibility of buying other ones.There's a free Epic Roller Coaster app, which is fairly enjoyable, although oddly enough, both myself and my wife (now at home with our own MetaQuest 2) found ourselves getting a little queasy during the experience. Not sure what that's about. She NEVER goes on real roller coasters and I do it all the time.Also found a walking-on-a-building-skeleton app that had me God knows how many stories high and though not generally afraid of heights (acrophobia), I wasn't all that keen on walking on the available, skinny steel walkways to approach the edge. I'm in my living room, my mind knowing damn full well that I'm not only not as high as the program makes me think I am, but am, in fact, on solid ground. Yet, in an attempt to approach the edge and have a look OVER the edge, I am literally creeping forward, edging my foot out in front of me, making sure of my balance with each step. My mind absolutely refuses to grasp the concept that I am not in any danger.It should be noted that when you play in virtual reality, the mechanism has you define a space where you are going to be, literally drawing a perimeter line. It's not because the machine is worried you might step off the big building you only think you're on, but when you're playing a game like Beat Saber, you want to make sure that your arm movements don't knock over a lamp your Aunt Ethel gave you for Christmas last year, or in moving your legs around, you don't accidentally kick the screen out of your new Smart TV.I haven't been too excited by any of the first-person shooter kind of apps that are available. That kind of activity never lured me to the various systems that were already on the market. But I did notice and have been on the verge of pulling the trigger on some of the other activities, like table tennis, actual tennis and some other sports activities, like baseball. Am also interested in what is, at present, a small selection of board games, like Tsuro and chess (in a variety of different environments). They offer Catan (originally, Settlers of Catan) and though my interest in board games is strong, I never really liked Catan in real-time, so I'm not going to pick it up in VR.I recommend this system highly. The experience of good VR (and you can buy systems better than the basic one that I purchased) is mind-altering. It's something to which your mind has never been previously exposed; an alternate reality with its own set of rules that takes some getting used to. It's more expensive than pot, but unlike pot, it doesn't just let your head create new connections and free it from everyday anxieties, it creates a reality within your brain that is intriguing to watch, hear and interact with.And as my age indicates, fun for all ages.Oh, and one other cautionary note for those of a certain advanced age. The first time I tried the system, at the WBC, my score at Beat Saber was abysmally low. So I tried again. And again. It wasn't my hand movements with the controllers or the side-stepping away from approaching objects that got to me. It was the ducking at things that I had to let go over my head. I made the crouching moves necessary with reckless abandon. Once, again, and again. My upper thighs complained to me all of the next day. The good news is that it makes for good, healthy exercise.

I got the Quest 2 for my son, and it’s been worth every penny. For the price, it offers incredible value—a full VR experience without needing a gaming PC or console. The 128 GB storage is more than enough for downloading games, apps, and media, and we haven’t had to worry about running out of space.Functionally, it’s super versatile. He uses it for gaming, fitness, and even virtual field trips. The graphics are sharp and immersive, and the motion tracking is smooth and accurate. It’s also lightweight and comfortable, which makes longer play sessions easy.Setup was quick, and the wireless design keeps things simple and clutter-free. If you're looking for a high-quality, all-in-one VR headset that’s easy to use and packed with features, the Quest 2 is a fantastic choice.
5.0 out of 5 stars 55yr old female reviewer: BENEFITS - amazing, wonderful experience
I’m 55 years old, and suffered NO motion sickness. This is because you can adjust the speed of movement and choose SITTING MODE. In many games you can “jump” to a spot.You will charge your headset and then set up a Metaquest account. After that with your headset on, you will be taken to an interface inside the VR world where you can adjust and tweak your personal settings to suit you. You will also see APPS which teach you how to use everything.Be aware that if you want to buy Metaquest games only, they WILL download directly onto the headset. From other sites like STEAM you need to have a computer capable of LINKING the headset to the game. Google the requirements. ( This info provided by my 20 something computer savvy son.)I have had my headset one week and I can truly say it is initially a LIFE CHANGING experience.-I am not on there to play combat games-If you want to TRAVEL, to PLACES IN NATURE you will not be disappointed!. National Parks around the world on BRINKS TRAVELER, NATURE TREK takes me to mountains, trees, water features and wildlife!!! TRIPP is …mind blowingly calming, imaginative, artistic, beautiful…outstanding. I still have to try 2 or 3 others I bought, but couldn’t wait to write this review.Yes it’s TRUE you CAN tell it’s not real, but it’s the next best thing to actually being there. What helps is that when you lean forward in your seat and look around, it’s in 3D all around you! You are totally immersed.So if anyone my age or older is hesitating for all the reasons that I was…don’t, go for it.I bought my games half price off in a sale, so I’m sure the sales will return.To summarize: In the beginning, the first week, I went on VR every evening and enjoyed discovering the wonderful, amazing and beautiful VR world. However it is a just form of entertainment and after the novelty wears off, like all things in life, after a short while, it will just become a part of entertainment / relaxation tools and won’t replace all your other interests. You will still want to read, watch movies, play match -3 🤣🤣🤣, cook, enjoy REAL hiking and REAL people. And then when the mood suits you you’ll be back on VR.Just so it’s known, my first experience of VR was a year ago, in an exhibition, “The Van Gogh Immersive Experience.” The VR there allowed you to travel THROUGH paintings! I traveled through the beloved “Cafe de Nuit”. I was in. AWE.I would LOVE IT if developers could develop more experiences like that, traveling into:paintings, museums, monuments, landmarks, documentaries, history…EVERYTHING PLEASE! And THANK YOU 🙏I bought the comfort headset, extra attachment, and it’s worth it to get a good fit. Also if one of your eyes is sharper than the other like mine you can buy lens relacements on Bolo (I believe, I still have to look into it more). You need to know you eyeglasses prescription strength. That’s the funny thing, if in real life you need to move closer to a sign to read it, you will in VR too !!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
5.0 out of 5 stars Gaming and virtual reality genius! Tons of free games
Excellent choice of gaming virtual reality on the market! This headset has the most free games I’ve ever seen offered. Hours of fun, I could not have made a better choice for the summer. Highly recommend for any gamer. You won’t regret it
5.0 out of 5 stars Great price!
Alot of fun and great price!
4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, High End, and Affordable
Amazing, headset is very comfortable and easy to wear and use. Make sure you have plenty of space for the best experience. As for the game aspect, it runs all my games pretty well, Gorn, Beat Saber, VRChat all run perfectly with it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Oculus
Excellent device
Pretty good stuff
Yea I got one because of some of the exclusives like Resident Evil 4, and it works to link wirelessly to the PC
Amazing
My son loved it. Very good quality.
Very great and intresting
It so much fun playing VR feels like a different reality, would recommend playing calm games first and then moving on, and if you have a great powered pc/computer I would totally recommend you to connect the VR to it to experience the games in much-improved graphics, would recommend for the price tag over the quest 3. but if you have some extra bucks I don't see a problem not getting the quest 3
Well worth the asking price, but can expect some big improvements in the upcoming years..
## Pros:- Cheap, Meta is selling at this price probably at a loss to attract more people. 128GB for around 33-35k is a great price.- Relatively higher resolution compared to a non-existent competition in this price range.- The quality of sensors is top notch. The tracking is extremely accurate.- It's relatively lightweight and can run off battery which means no cables. Very convenient and definitely the future direction.## Areas for improvement:- The displays could use OLED for better blacks. Though using OLED will hurt longevity so this one gets a pass. Currently blacks are like gray and that is something you will notice if you look for it.- The resolution could use an improvement. Again, it's an extremely competitive resolution for the price, but since it's so close to your eyes, even this feels pixelated and low res. It's early VR tech so expect that to improve with time.- The battery life is barely 2 hours on a full charge depending on what you're viewing. It's reasonably good, but in the future we could be looking at more efficient devices.- There should be a OS level simulated way to rotate when sitting still. It's tedious to have to get up just to rotate to other side of a 360 degree video. Allow simulating that via controls or something on OS level.- The headset strap is not comfortable for long wearing sessions. I should not have to spend more money to get a better quality strap. Wearing this device is a primary function and you shouldn't have to buy an accessory to make it better, regardless of the price. Only possible con I an think of, but it gets a pass this time.- On a related note, as this tech gets better, I expect components to shrink and this to get lighter and sleeker.- Would be nice to not have to create a Facebook account for this, but let's be honest, that's why they're selling this at a loss. To collect more customers and collect your data to target ads at you. That's how they make money, by selling ads and services.- Remotely installing apps from mobile is a hit or a miss. Most times it doesn't start downloading and I have to manually trigger app downloads. I think it's a temporary bug which they can easily fix.## Other notes:- Use Firefox reality browser. Way better than default and support ad blocking, multiple window and is also far more convenient and reliable with Web XR experiences.- Give Oculus TV a try. It's like YouTube VR but the interface is much nicer and the recommendations are also extremely good.- You can cast your Oculus view to your phone. This is super convenient when showing this to a friend or family member. Just cast to your phone so that you have a sense of what your friend/family member is seeing and guide them accordingly.## Summary:Great stuff honestly. Making VR affordable (regardless of the intentions) also opens it up to more developers across the world and that will only help give us better VR experiences over time. Looking forward to develop some WebXR and native oculus experiences using this.
No me arrepiento de haber dado el salto al "metaverso"
Llevo 1 año con el producto y me encantan mis meta quest 2. Realmente tener un producto que tenga una dimensión como experiencia es fascinante, y más aún pensando que es algo que puedes tener en tu recámara y en formato stand alone. Es una pena que poca gente conozca y tenga un dispositivo de estos. Espero que ahora con el anuncio de Apple la gente se anime a comprar dispositivos de realidad virtual /mixta, sobre todo de meta, ya que el dispositivo tiene un precio bastante accesible por una tecnología realmente maravillosa. Definitivamente compraré los meta quest 3 en cuanto salgan y animo a las personas a adquirir una experiencia de estas, no se arrepentirán.Cosas que podrían cambiar en un futuro:1. la visión.Aunque es buena, aún es borrosa y a veces poco clara. Estuve probando y las imágenes dejan de distinguirse con claridad a una distancia de 40 a 60 metros, que es bastante, después de eso las imágenes se tornan borrosas y difíciles de ver. Claro que todo se puede hacer: ver películas, videos, jugar, descansar, etc. La visión no es impedimento de nada, solo podría mejorar bastante. Está característica definitivamente mejora en las quest pro 2 y muy posiblemente en las meta quest 3 cuando salgan.2. La correa: la correa es muy incómoda. Ajustarla para diferentes personas es tedioso además de que es incómoda en largos periodos de uso y resbala bastante sobre la cabeza. Ocurre que si no está muy apretada a la cabeza (lo cual es muy incómodo), al momento de girar los visores resbalan. La solución es comprar otra correa más cómoda, aunque al principio si te quedas sin dinero por la adquisición tendrás que aguantar un rato con esa correa.3. Precio de la tienda: los juegos dentro de la tienda de oculus pueden llegar a ser 2 veces más caros que en Steam por ejemplo. Se entiende porque están optimizados para un dispositivo stand alone. No obstante, a veces este precio de verdad puede llegar a estar muy inflado, tanto que podrías preferir comprar la versión de PC y sacrificar un poquito el movimiento libre con un cable tipo c que se conecte a tu PC. Cabe recalcar que el dispositivo cuenta con un sistema que permite la conexión vía WIFI con tu computadora para poder acceder a los juegos de PC sin cable, lo único que necesitas es tener una muy buena conexión dedicada únicamente para los visores. En mi caso preferí conectarlo con cable para tener menos lag.4. Calor. Después de un uso de aproximadamente 30 - 40 minutos, tal vez un poco más (dependiendo de la aplicación que se esté usando) el dispositivo puede llegar a calentarse haciendo que realmente sudes adentro de los visores. En climas más fríos esto no es problema, pero si vives en un lugar cálido podría llegar a ser bastante incómodo.En resumen, las meta quest 2 han Sido unos visores que han cumplido, satisfecho e incluso superado por mucho lo que esperaba del producto. Es una experiencia completa cada vez que te los pones. Siempre es la misma emoción que sientes la primera vez que los usas y más si te aventuras a probar experiencias de diferentes géneros: terror, aventura, sci fi, etc.También ha Sido una gran herramienta de visualización para cosas de trabajo. Por lo que, las meta quest son más que una consola, son una herramienta para aquellos que quieran usarlas para este enfoque.Recomiendo ampliamente la adquisición de unos visores.

My son loved it. Very good quality.
Very great and intresting
It so much fun playing VR feels like a different reality, would recommend playing calm games first and then moving on, and if you have a great powered pc/computer I would totally recommend you to connect the VR to it to experience the games in much-improved graphics, would recommend for the price tag over the quest 3. but if you have some extra bucks I don't see a problem not getting the quest 3
Well worth the asking price, but can expect some big improvements in the upcoming years..
## Pros:- Cheap, Meta is selling at this price probably at a loss to attract more people. 128GB for around 33-35k is a great price.- Relatively higher resolution compared to a non-existent competition in this price range.- The quality of sensors is top notch. The tracking is extremely accurate.- It's relatively lightweight and can run off battery which means no cables. Very convenient and definitely the future direction.## Areas for improvement:- The displays could use OLED for better blacks. Though using OLED will hurt longevity so this one gets a pass. Currently blacks are like gray and that is something you will notice if you look for it.- The resolution could use an improvement. Again, it's an extremely competitive resolution for the price, but since it's so close to your eyes, even this feels pixelated and low res. It's early VR tech so expect that to improve with time.- The battery life is barely 2 hours on a full charge depending on what you're viewing. It's reasonably good, but in the future we could be looking at more efficient devices.- There should be a OS level simulated way to rotate when sitting still. It's tedious to have to get up just to rotate to other side of a 360 degree video. Allow simulating that via controls or something on OS level.- The headset strap is not comfortable for long wearing sessions. I should not have to spend more money to get a better quality strap. Wearing this device is a primary function and you shouldn't have to buy an accessory to make it better, regardless of the price. Only possible con I an think of, but it gets a pass this time.- On a related note, as this tech gets better, I expect components to shrink and this to get lighter and sleeker.- Would be nice to not have to create a Facebook account for this, but let's be honest, that's why they're selling this at a loss. To collect more customers and collect your data to target ads at you. That's how they make money, by selling ads and services.- Remotely installing apps from mobile is a hit or a miss. Most times it doesn't start downloading and I have to manually trigger app downloads. I think it's a temporary bug which they can easily fix.## Other notes:- Use Firefox reality browser. Way better than default and support ad blocking, multiple window and is also far more convenient and reliable with Web XR experiences.- Give Oculus TV a try. It's like YouTube VR but the interface is much nicer and the recommendations are also extremely good.- You can cast your Oculus view to your phone. This is super convenient when showing this to a friend or family member. Just cast to your phone so that you have a sense of what your friend/family member is seeing and guide them accordingly.## Summary:Great stuff honestly. Making VR affordable (regardless of the intentions) also opens it up to more developers across the world and that will only help give us better VR experiences over time. Looking forward to develop some WebXR and native oculus experiences using this.
No me arrepiento de haber dado el salto al "metaverso"
Llevo 1 año con el producto y me encantan mis meta quest 2. Realmente tener un producto que tenga una dimensión como experiencia es fascinante, y más aún pensando que es algo que puedes tener en tu recámara y en formato stand alone. Es una pena que poca gente conozca y tenga un dispositivo de estos. Espero que ahora con el anuncio de Apple la gente se anime a comprar dispositivos de realidad virtual /mixta, sobre todo de meta, ya que el dispositivo tiene un precio bastante accesible por una tecnología realmente maravillosa. Definitivamente compraré los meta quest 3 en cuanto salgan y animo a las personas a adquirir una experiencia de estas, no se arrepentirán.Cosas que podrían cambiar en un futuro:1. la visión.Aunque es buena, aún es borrosa y a veces poco clara. Estuve probando y las imágenes dejan de distinguirse con claridad a una distancia de 40 a 60 metros, que es bastante, después de eso las imágenes se tornan borrosas y difíciles de ver. Claro que todo se puede hacer: ver películas, videos, jugar, descansar, etc. La visión no es impedimento de nada, solo podría mejorar bastante. Está característica definitivamente mejora en las quest pro 2 y muy posiblemente en las meta quest 3 cuando salgan.2. La correa: la correa es muy incómoda. Ajustarla para diferentes personas es tedioso además de que es incómoda en largos periodos de uso y resbala bastante sobre la cabeza. Ocurre que si no está muy apretada a la cabeza (lo cual es muy incómodo), al momento de girar los visores resbalan. La solución es comprar otra correa más cómoda, aunque al principio si te quedas sin dinero por la adquisición tendrás que aguantar un rato con esa correa.3. Precio de la tienda: los juegos dentro de la tienda de oculus pueden llegar a ser 2 veces más caros que en Steam por ejemplo. Se entiende porque están optimizados para un dispositivo stand alone. No obstante, a veces este precio de verdad puede llegar a estar muy inflado, tanto que podrías preferir comprar la versión de PC y sacrificar un poquito el movimiento libre con un cable tipo c que se conecte a tu PC. Cabe recalcar que el dispositivo cuenta con un sistema que permite la conexión vía WIFI con tu computadora para poder acceder a los juegos de PC sin cable, lo único que necesitas es tener una muy buena conexión dedicada únicamente para los visores. En mi caso preferí conectarlo con cable para tener menos lag.4. Calor. Después de un uso de aproximadamente 30 - 40 minutos, tal vez un poco más (dependiendo de la aplicación que se esté usando) el dispositivo puede llegar a calentarse haciendo que realmente sudes adentro de los visores. En climas más fríos esto no es problema, pero si vives en un lugar cálido podría llegar a ser bastante incómodo.En resumen, las meta quest 2 han Sido unos visores que han cumplido, satisfecho e incluso superado por mucho lo que esperaba del producto. Es una experiencia completa cada vez que te los pones. Siempre es la misma emoción que sientes la primera vez que los usas y más si te aventuras a probar experiencias de diferentes géneros: terror, aventura, sci fi, etc.También ha Sido una gran herramienta de visualización para cosas de trabajo. Por lo que, las meta quest son más que una consola, son una herramienta para aquellos que quieran usarlas para este enfoque.Recomiendo ampliamente la adquisición de unos visores.
