Score: 75/100
Meta Quest 2
Score: 76/100Rankings
The Meta Quest 2 128 GB is an all-in-one VR headset delivering XR2 Gen 2 performance with three-position IPD and a bundled game. It suffers from lower resolution, a narrow 96° field of view and limited battery life. Suited for beginners and casual gamers who value affordability.
The HTC VIVE Pro Full System is a professional-grade, PC-tethered headset offering high-resolution AMOLED displays and integrated spatial audio. Its heavy weight and need for a powerful PC make it less portable and more expensive. Best suited for developers, enterprises, and enthusiasts who demand top-tier visual fidelity and precise tracking.

The VIVE Pro is a professional-grade VR headset featuring dual AMOLED displays with 1440×1600 per-eye resolution, integrated Hi-Res headphones, precise room-scale tracking, and mixed-reality capabilities, designed for both consumer and enterprise use.
Users praise the headset's premium visual clarity and immersive audio, but note the demanding hardware requirements and cumbersome wired setup.
Professional reviewers describe the Quest 3S as a strong entry-level VR headset that offers the same XR2 Gen 2 performance as the Quest 3 at a lower cost, praising its color passthrough, hand-tracking improvements, and bundled game. They note compromises such as bulkier Fresnel optics, a lack of depth sensing, and reduced resolution/FOV compared with the premium Quest 3.
Everyday users commend the headset for its crisp visuals for the price, comfortable fit with a glasses spacer, wireless freedom and responsive tracking, and especially enjoy the bundled Batman: Arkham Shadow. Common complaints revolve around lower clarity and narrower FOV than newer models, occasional mixed-reality boundary issues, short battery life, and the bulkier Fresnel lens design.
