Oculus Quest 64GB VR Headset

Product Information

Our favorite is by far the Quest 2 strap with battery. Not only is it the best way to extend the battery life of your Oculus Quest 2, but the weight of the battery makes the headset feel less front-weighted, improving comfort. The controllers are different than the ones that come with the Rift as well, and I'd say they are an improvement as well.

With the greater power of a PC at hand, the Quest is capable of taking advantage of some really impressive adventures, such as the god-stomping Asgard’s Wrath and mind-blowing Lone Echo 2. These are high-end VR adventures with graphical fidelity leagues ahead of the majority of Quest 2’s mobile apps and should be taken advantage of if possible. With a bit of tinkering, you can get the Quest 2 to play VR apps from other stores too, such as Steam VR’s highlight Half Life: Alyx. The next time you launch the game, you will be able to launch your save game again! How to Uninstall Games on the Oculus QuestThe battery gives me quite a bit of play time (about 2 hours), and if needed one can charge while playing (charger or Powerbank - it seems the USB-c charger/Powerbank should at least support 5V/2.6A). I haven't had a need for that, because after 2 hours of playing, it's nice to take a little break anyway. There are a host of customization options for the Quest. Everything from decals for the front, aftermarket head straps... etc. All of them are pretty innovative and more seem to pop up every week. Regardless, the Quest 2 is as comfortable as a VR headset can feasibly be and I found that keeping it in a comfortable position was a simpler task – the reduced weight certainly helps here. The face foam is a little softer, and a little deeper too, although it will still imprint on your face over time.

And while fierce rivals have appeared in recent years, including the Pico 4, few headsets can compete with Meta’s ever-growing library following acquisitions of the studios behind Beat Saber, Iron Man VR and the Resident Evil 4 port.It's worth pointing out that some games won't work well if you're just standing still, you'll need to be able to reach out and grab things, but a lot of the key games available at launch, like Beat Saber and Angry Birds, can work if you're stationary. Some have expressed concerns about Facebook’s use of data, while those without Facebook accounts may be reluctant to create one just to enjoy VR. At the end of the day, though, many people use Facebook regularly and will appreciate the simplicity of a single account for multiple services. Oculus Quest launched on May 21, 2019 and is now available in 22 countries, including the UK and US. I got mine in the mail a little early (two days before release date) and was extremely happy to set it up. Oculus Quest 2 isn’t perfect, then – but it’s as close to perfect as VR has come so far and well worth your time, money, and energy if you’ve been looking for an excuse to swap reality for virtual reality.
