The Oculus Quest 2 improves on the original in every way: It has sharper screens, a more comfortable fit and it's far more powerful. It's a superior standalone VR headset, but it's also good enough to compete with more expensive competitors when...
Higher resolution screens ; More powerful hardware ; Excellent standalone VR ; Works well as a desktop VR headset ; $299 price is a steal
Standalone games still limited by mobile hardware ; 90Hz isn’t available at launch ; Fit adjustment is a bit wonky

The Meta Quest 2 is two years old and $101 more expensive. For now, though, it's still the VR headset to beat.
High-res display ; Great self-contained gaming experience ; Doubles as PC VR headset ; Works well with a handful of fitness apps
$101 more expensive ; Only 2-3 hours of battery life ; Not designed for kids

Facebook is competing with Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft in a very real way with its own gaming console, the Oculus Quest 2, which will challenge your paradigm of what a next-gen ... Get off the couch and get inside the game, instead!
Expert review by : Michael Andronico (tomsguide.com)
The Oculus Quest 2's price, game library and overall ease of use make it the best entry point into virtual reality yet.
If you already own an Oculus Quest, the improved design and performance alone might not sway you to plunk down another $299. And the new headset can get costly if you factor in the price of an Oculus Link cable or the optional 256GB model. But if...

I tried the Virtual Boy more than 20 years ago and was almost instantly disappointed, but I've still dreamed of having a simple, standalone VR headset that could transport me to other worlds at a moment's notice. And while the original Oculus Quest was...
Fantastic value, extremely simple to set up and use, comfortable, lightweight design (with a headphone jack), solid optics, built-in spatial audio speakers, much improved specs, compatible with Rift desktop VR titles

The Oculus Quest 2 is powerful, fun, versatile, and cheaper than the first Quest
Expert review by : Matt Tate (stuff.tv)
Will you accept another Quest? Originally Oculus, now Meta, this standalone headset brings VR to more people than ever
Improved resolution ; Lighter than the Quest ; 90Hz support coming soon ; Large library of apps and games
No improvement to headset battery life ; VR still makes us woozy ; Requires you to log in through Facebook
Not a reinvention, but our favourite VR headset is now even better (and cheaper)

Editors' Choice: The Meta Quest 2, for $199, is impossible to beat for value.
High-res display ; Great self-contained gaming experience ; Doubles as PC VR headset ; Works well with a handful of fitness apps
Only 2-3 hours of battery life ; Not well-designed for kids
Expert review by : Lewis Painter (techadvisor.co.uk)
The Oculus Quest 2 is the only VR headset you should consider buying right now, with a detailed display, standalone and PC capabilities and a cheap price tag.
Lightweight ; High-resolution display ; Cheap
Oculus Insight isn’t perfect ; Preset IPD settings ; No dedicated headphones
The Oculus Quest 2 is a game-changer, offering high-quality standalone capabilities and the option to turn into a PC VR headset when necessary, and to top it off, it’s cheaper than practically every other headset available right now.
