Meta Quest 2 128GB VR Headset (Original Product Buy From - Appario Business and Appario Retail Private Ltd) No warranty in india

## 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.

The best value for money standalone VR headset. Dont go for the negative review that it has bad lense or is cheap bla bla bla, cause you cant even find any VR standalone headset at this price. 1. Quality is great, even if you drop it it wont break easily and still works, check out ThrillSeeker channel on youtube for more strees test that guy did. 2. Lenses are old once, yes they are but in this segment they wont dissapoint you compared to $1000 Valve Index 3. Resolution and FOV is good but not great but perfect for movies and watching 3d movies, 360 movies and Oculus games for sure. Casual user wont even find any difference 4. Great library of games, litttle expensive but you get sales now and then and you have sidequest if you want more for free and also with some tricks you can install any android apps. 5. The glimps and your start to metaverse 6. Battery is a concern but get the cable creation cable and you are goog to go. Get the 16ft one 7. Install Sidequest. (Mobile and PC) if you want a lot of best and free content and if you are a advanced PC user. Not recommended for users not fimiliar with advance PC use or adb, but you get a tons of tutorial on youtube if you want to try. 8. If you have a good PC, VR ready GPU, then this can play Steam VR as well, now it has Airlink wireless as well, but you need Wifi6, 5ghz band and PC connected using ethernet for best quality. 9. Amazing hand tracking and controllers at this range 10. In any case you end up scratching the lenses, get a polywatch solution and see the magic, it would be as good as new, thank me later for that advice. See youtube for more info 11. Great mutiplayer capabilities, mic is great and stock speaker are just awesome, and you can still connect your own headsets as well. 12. Get a rechargable battery for your controller, cost around rs400 with batgery and its charger. 13. If you still have more money get an Elite strap for best comfort and wobble free experience. 14. If you sweat much, mind that you might see fog on lense on prolong use, there are tons of alrernatives to try to avoid that, but the cheapest option is simply put a tissue to your forehead and put on the headset and good to go. 15. You are still here that means you are convinced, just go for it and buy it, you will not regret for sure. Search me in case you need more assistance on Oculus, Ashura- is my Oculus id.

Got it on 25/01/2022. Writing this on 09/02/2022. TL;DR - Great headset. Absolutely worth the price. Buy paid games if you want to take full advantage of the Quest 2. There are other ways too to play a paid game as this is an android interface. My User ID in Eleven Table Tennsi is ZIGZAG@WII. find me there and we'll have a good match. Now, to those who really want to read this review, Pros. 1. The moment you put it on, you'll want to stay in it and touch every part of the environment you're in. In some cases you can, in some you can't. 2. Myth that the vision is blurry is true. But you'll find it's more than usable but not quite as sharp as any other more expensive VR headset like the Valve Index or the HP Reverb G2. But at this price point, it's the best you'll ever get! 3. YouTube 360° is reaaallly good. Netflix's video quality is more than OK but not as sharp as you'll find on your phone at 1080p. Prime video is surprisingly better quality than that of Netflix. 4. You'll find free games those are good for what they offer but paid games will blow your mind. Some of the examples are 1. Eleven Table Tennis (outstanding physics and totally realistic 97% of the times), 2. Beat Saber (it's the poster child of the Quest 2), 3. Pistol Whip ( makes you feel like a cowboy shooting targets in slo-mo and doing that to the beat!), 4. Zenith- The Last city (the closest we've come to a VR MMO like SAO) Cons. 1. As I've written above, the blurry quality. Nothing we can do about it. Some YouTubes have found some settings to increase the quality and frame rate in developer mode but it resers everytime you turn off the Quest 2. 2. The strap and the padding. There's always better ones out there so find them. In India, it's either pricey or impossible to get. 3. You get a US flat pin charger in the box so use it with a 3-pin that supports it. 4. I'd suggest you use the charger given in the box as there have been reports of the charging port melting due to excessive charging and what not. I will, if I can, edit this review in the future if I come across anything new. Beware of 5 star reviews as the seller gives Amazon gift cards in the box to give 5 star ratings. Other than that, the package arrived safely and on time so no problem there. Thanks for reading it so far. 🖖🏾

Awesome experience with the new updated 128 gb version, i am still trying out new games but until now it has been a very good experience. Both my daughters 6 and 3 year old are enjoying it as well. First things first, you do not need a PC to use this VR headset, however if your an advanced gamer then you probably have a gaming pc that might work with PCVR games, others please check the minimum requirement before you buy a PC for PCVR gaming. Again note with this Quest 2 you do not need a PC it works standalone and you only need a good internet connection, you can buy or get free games from Oculus store or Sidequest, tons of video on youtube on how to use sidequest so check it out. Also you can install youtube and Netflix and use it to watch 360 videos and 3d movies. Some complain of blurriness, so note you have to adjust the straps so that you are looking straight into it, everything in your periphery will be blur so adjust everytime you wear it, it should be sticking to your face tightly. If you have glasses then they need to be small as my computer glasses did not fit but i think you will have some problems when using it with glasses. Finally it absolutely fun to play with these, if you get it under 40 k for 128 GB then its a good deal in India , i tried shipping it out from US to India but the order was not completed as they do not ship things with battery so anyways buy it from here in India and it will be delivered the next day.

Suddenly it stopped working after using 1 month , I reached to meta they told in India they are not servicing or giving replacement, so for that they asked to reach Amazon , but Amazon claims that after 1 week return period they will not help us . So don’t buy the product and loose your money. Worst and pathetic customer service from Amazon , not sure how they are selling his products which they cannot help customer in assisting replacement.

If youre here that means you’re confused if you should buy it or not. I can help. Some people are complaining about the resolution but i assure you compared to other vr headsets in the market its pretty great. 3d movies are better than theatre, just download the app bigscreen and watch privately or host a party. Reason being in theatres they give you black glasses tjat decreses the brightness of the movie so it looks kinda dark but with oculus no such issue. Just put your sbs 3d movie file in your headset and watch it wherever and whenever. Sound quality feels very immersive for a headset. For browsing internet you can use firefox or metaquest browser, they both have incognito mode and can run videos you want to watch. Gaming experience is amazing, but you need to purchase full version later on from the oculus store or steam(for PCVR) gaming. I tried no man sky, beat sabre, spiderman homecoming vr they were all good. You must underStand that 360 degree videos will have a lower resolution, the reason being the resolution of the video is divided in 4 parts, usually the videos we watch are 90 degree fov but here its 360 so by simple logic it will have 1/4th of your selected resolution. I have wanted to buy a vr headset since they launched oculus rift. So if you can afford HTC vive or other expensive headsets I recommend getting quest 2. It is everything I wanted it to be and then some.

Just received the order yesterday , packing of the product is good . The controller and device is very good in build quality .Vr experience is good , Highly disappointed with head strap , it is difficult to adjust and also disappointed in free games as I find only 10 free games and out of which almost all of them are demo versions and I didn't find any free game at all . We have to pay extra charge to buy games. Another main problem is it's difficult to buy games from india as paypal and cards dont work, The graphics quality is also average . Some videos in explore section are good quality . Spending 30k and I only get a device with very average screen clarity and no free games , Iam disappointed to be frank ,expected lot better features. The strap is the worst thing about this headset , I bought a kiwi strap which costed extra 4k but helped in better comfort and better vision as original strap is the worst quality. Jupiter card helped me in buying games from Oculus store

Very good VR headset in this price point. There are several points that could be improved. First, the screen door effect, it's quite a bit and that limits you immersion. Many reviews say that Quest 2 has almost no screen door effect, but I found it not to be true. It is less, but not completely gone. Field of View could be improved. And few other things. Otherwise it's a killer entry level VR headset. For me the best feature is the ability of play PC VR games wireless. I didn't use Quest 2 as standalone for two reasons. 1. The quality of PC VR is unmatched. 2. the same game which is available in Quest Store is at-least 3 times more expensive than steam counter part. With Oculus AirLink I can play every game nicely. There are few times when frames get dropped and that hinders game play, else mostly it's great. It could be my network gears as well. For Beat Saber it's too much (almost all the songs gets dropped frame resulting missing hits), and for other games it's there but you can live with it. This is a very good VR headset. If you can afford to buy HP reverb G2 as well, buy both, if you can afford to buy any of those, go for G2. Or if you buy Quest 2 only, you will still be having awesome time.

Great and recommend

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

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.

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 owned the original Oculus Rift and upgraded to the Meta Quest 3. It was a big leap forward for me. — TRACKING — Gone are the days when you had to have fixed sensors in your room with a fixed play area. Now, you can bring this anywhere and play wirelessly, with or without a computer. Just the fact that I don't need sensors is a win. The tech packed into this can detect your surrounding environments quickly and easily. It even tracks your hands and you can navigate with just your hands using gestures similar to an iPad/iPhone. — SCREEN — The screen is a big improvement over previous generations, including Meta's Pro model. The colors are vibrant, the sharpness is perfect, and getting your head in the sweet spot is much easier. I advise using an app to measure your eye distance (like Eye Measure), and then you can adjust the lenses to suit your exact eye distance for optimum viewing comfort. — STORAGE — I got the 512GB because I was torn about their pricing model. I didn't want to underdo it so I spent the extra money so I had more space, even if I didn't know if I would need it. Frankly, 256GB would've been perfect for me personally at the moment. — WIRELESS PLAY — The games runs off the headset—if you buy games from the Meta Quest store. They do run more expensive and the sales are okay when they're there. If you have been buying VR games on Steam, you can run them wirelessly with SteamVR as long as your computer's graphics card is compatible. You can also physically connect a USB-C cable to a computer to play your games. — GAMES — Games feel like an elevated Nintendo 64 at the moment. The tech is there, we just need higher-quality textures and more AAA games when the masses start pouring in. Most games seem to have a stylized polygonal quality to them, and few games are going for a realistic look. Currently, I would say the quality of games is good enough for where the technology is at the moment in terms of the processing power that's in the headset at this price point. One of the great things is Asgard's Wrath II is included free with purchase and this is one of those games that takes full advantage of this headset's capabilities. You also get a 6-month free trial of Quest+, which is two pre-selected curated games per month for as long as you're a member; you lose those games when you cancel, but if you subscribe again your library will be there. — APPS — Besides games, you can use different apps with this. I use Virtual Desktop to access my 3D movie files on my computer, plus other media I have. I can also access my SteamVR games this way as well. Then there are media consumption apps like Amazon and Netflix. Explore and you'll find useful things to install. — MIXED REALITY — This is part of the future of gaming, baby. Having a big play space at home combined with a mixed reality game is one of the most fun experiences to have. This is also similar tech in Apple's Vision Pro. There are a couple of free games included, and I can't wait to see what the future holds in this growing game category. — BATTERY — The battery lasts on average about two hours. For me, that's great because I generally get a little dizzy before that period so the headset will die before I get fully nauseous. VR dizziness is a real thing and I advise that if you start feeling some type of way, to stop sooner rather than later. I would build up your brain's tolerance to VR slowly. If you get dizzy, start timing how long it takes. Take a day off and try to add 10 minutes or so in the next session, until you can go longer. If you are one of the lucky few who are not affected by dizziness, you can plug this into a wall while playing and it will charge while you play. In theory, you could play non-stop with the right cable and charger.
