Meta Quest 2
Score: 76/100
DPVR E4
Score: 78/100Rankings
The DPVR E4 offers high-resolution 4K per eye visuals at 120 Hz with a wide 116° field of view and inside-out tracking, targeting budget-conscious PC gamers. Its main drawbacks are the heavy full-setup weight and reliance on wired connections, making it less portable. Best for users who prioritize visual fidelity over mobility.
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.

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.
Professional reviewers commend the E4 for its high-refresh-rate 4K display, lightweight optics and comfortable flip-up strap, calling the tracking respectable for the price. However, they criticize the overall heft of the full setup, controller occlusion problems, and the lack of a wireless or standalone option, noting that the cable and paid software diminish the otherwise strong value proposition.
User feedback is sparse, but the limited comments echo the reviewers' concerns about cable weight and controller battery requirements, while also appreciating the headset's comfort and visual fidelity for extended sessions.
“Crisp visuals for the price”
“The 120Hz DP cable gives "nitty gritty juicy" budget PCVR performance, sharp 4K visuals, and comfort via stretchy strap/removable padding; tracking is "respectable" and fit is "smooth."”
“Full setup feels heavy - about 1.9 lb/0.86 kg - making it forehead-heavy despite the light headset body.”
