The Meta Quest Pro is a Pro-Consumer Device
By J.L.F. on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2022
Look the Meta Quest Pro is one heck of a device. There is truly nothing like it. It's not perfect and depending on your preconceptions from how it was advertised, it will not be convincing for most. Nor should it be, this device is Meta's (Facebook's) first attempt to step into an AR territory. It's a great device but there's one problem. The software and AR app support is lacking. This is expected and is why this device costs so much - it's a DEV kit. It's really aimed at developers and VR/AR enthusiasts. For $1500, your likely the type of individual who has already been convinced that AR will be the next technological advancement regarding human technology interaction. For $1500 your more than likely the type of individual who wants to help make this happen, experience it and contribute to its growth.

A beta device with hardware potential only few know what for
By Anton on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022
This headset was purchased for my educational VR-afforded projects and, unfortunately, my decision to send it back was made just after a few minutes of use. It seems that Oculus 2 that I already have is 95% the same as this Quest Pro but at a 1/3 of the price. I thought that the so well promoted hardware-related improvements would be somehow implemented by Meta but, alas, it seems like those features have been incorporated into this headset for only those bravest who know (or will know) how to implement them. So, is that device for creators or developers of programs for creators. If the former is true, I don't see how it's better than Oculus 2. And if the latter is true, well, this is a true beta for developers. Pluses: - [ ] Display clarity (however, there is actually much more glare because the light creeps in from all the directions right onto the lenses, even with the shades installed). I'm confident the decision to make the light-blockers removable was deliberate. But it does make the screen look so bad because of the light bleed. - [ ] FOV: just barely wider (and horizontally only) - [ ] Sharpness: it is much sharper, particularly close to the edges, it has a bigger “sweet-spot” (HOWEVER, you hardly ever notice this as you are likely to look right in the middle of the viewing area. So, when you want to look sideways or up and down, I found it actually easier to do it the way we do in real life -- by moving your head). Negatives: - [ ] Although the sound is louder, it is actually has a lot of rattle (probably because it’s just the same speakers from Oculus 2 with extra amplification) - [ ] The overhyped hand-controllers: they have a lot of jitter / stutter throughout the UI and in programs; per my comparison, they perform much worse than the Oculus 2 controllers. - [ ] The headset is very heavy. The front is as heavy as the Oculus 2, and the counterweight (due to the battery being in the backplate) is not sufficient at all. - [ ] COMFORT: I find the Quest Pro extremely uncomfortable!!! Basically, the entire headset is supposed to stay on stably by the way of squeezing your forehead and the back of your head. Apart from leaving the red mark, it causes headaches after mere minutes of use. I assume this comfort-aspect depends on the curvature/size of a user’s head. I’d recommend consulting a much more reputable reviewer from “roadtovr” who explained this particular issue quite well. - [ ] I find it very unproductive for content creation. My workflow requires that I take the headset on and off numerous times — to track the progress. The stiff design of this Quest Pro makes this task impossible. This contrasts with the Oculus 2, where you can move the headset up and down in relation to the side bars and, when needed, just glance inside without needing of putting the headset on properly. - [ ] Taking it on and off (as well as during adjustments) triggers accidental presses of volume and power buttons since they are located on the underside of the side-bars.
