Not wireless, don't care.

Glib but true. Wireless Vs. non-wireless is apples vs. oranges, now that I've experienced apples I want apples and Valve is only currently selling oranges.

Plus you're comparing a "good enough" $300 device to a superior but cost prohibitive $1K device. I feel like people who compare a Valve Index to a Quest really don't get what makes Quest uniquely good to its audience currently.

Nobody is denying that the Index is technologically superior across the board, what I am saying is that the measures we're using are completely different. I consider the Steam Deck a closer comparison than the Index for example.

Also outside in vs. inside out tracking. Being able to take the Quest from living room to rec room without setting up cameras is a game changer.

And if you care about the higher performance you can still tether yourself to a gaming pc.

Theres more than 2 VR headsets, Quest and Index, available at the moment. Just have a brief look. https://www.vr-compare.com/

.

Eg. If you want wireless one like the quest, the HTC Vive Focus or HTC Vive Focus plus have similar specs to quest 2.. they can play games by themselves without a pc and are wireless

.

If you have a pc and want higher resolution / framerate like the index then DecaGear and HP Reverb G2 look good.

I would not get a quest cus of fb, and apparently atm the build quality of index is atrocious.

> atm the build quality of index is atrocious.

I've dropped mine, walked in to objects several times. Had the light house trackers fall from a distance and ripped the DP plug out of its port. I've had no issue with the quality; actually been quite impressed.

What source of claims are you using here?

There's a few VR reviews on YouTube. Many things break for a lot of the user base. One reviewer has been through three headsets and a bunch of controllers. The RMA process is good.

The Vive Focus is marketed as a business headset.

Well let's get some edumacation goin here, you can be wireless. Tracking is night and day on a vive vs. fb trash device. Are you really running around with a vr headset on? No, you mostly stay in one area and usually the same one. My vive pro not only has insanely good tracking. The video is amazing and the tracking, you can't say enough good things about it. Vive costs more because it's that much better. So while I'd buy the facebook trash costs less, that's the only reason to get one. Not even imo, fact.

Is it though? I mean given the price difference it should be miles ahead. However I don't see any meaningful difference between the two.

Yes, in low light it might suffer, but then occluded base stations will cock up the vive

You replied to the wrong post. My post was a response to one comparing the Quest to the Valve Index, whereas your post is seemingly something about Quest Vs. Vive Pro.

Although regardless of who you were trying to respond to, comes across likely ruder than you intended just fyi.
