The Metaverse is real!!!
By Jason R. Wilson on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
The storage of the Oculus Quest 2, like any gaming console, uses up a healthy chunk of its storage for required software: 11. 3GB, to be exact. Plus, it comes pre-installed with a few demos and First Steps tutorials, but those can be uninstalled if you wish, freeing up a few hundred megabytes. You get a little over 116GB of actual storage with the 128GB Quest 2, while the 256GB Quest 2 has a whopping 245GB left for games storage! Gamers who might want to be future-proof could still consider the 256GB version, but the $399 price makes it less affordable for most. The original Oculus Quest 256GB version didn't make much sense to spend extra money on because original Quest games used to average around 1-2GB in size. These days, the best Quest 2 games now hover around the 8-12GB range for many titles. The Oculus Quest 2 is very cool technology. It is not as cool as the technology in Sword Art Online, but you will not be fighting for your life while being stuck in the game. The headset is a bit on the heavy side but comfortable. The straps are quickly be adjusted front-to-back and side-to-side for the best fit. You can also use a spacer to make extra room for glasses. Most size glasses should fit fine in gear, but oversized frames will not. The hand controls are easy to learn and easy to use. The feedback is excellent, and I have not had trouble with lag. The system as a whole is very responsive. The speakers and microphone are apparent. The OS is very user-friendly, and the system walks you through many tasks when first set up. The audio controls even understand my slurred English. Speakers are built into the headset’s strap supports, offering directional left and right stereo sound. They’re reasonably clear and loud enough to get across your games' drama and directional audio feedback while keeping your ears free to allow you some awareness of your physical surroundings. If you’re playing in a room with a friend, they’ll hear everything going on using the built-in speakers, but there’s also a 3. 5mm jack if you want to connect your headphones for a private session. A decent set of stereo speakers are built into the side arms of the strap and produce immersive positional audio. If you want to be isolated, you can plug a regular set of headphones or earbuds into the headphones socket on the side of the headset, but I liked being able to hear a little bit of the natural world as I played. Definitely worth the purchase!

I want to love it!!

I am an FPV Drone Racing Pilot, not many know what that is, but some will, I got into it and got out of gaming, just didnt see anything in games that compare to flying until one day when a friend of mine got one of these and brought it over to my house.. WOW, When I put it on I knew I had to buy one..... and here is my review one month later... Pro's - This has so much potential, it is a lot of fun and very immersive, many things to do with youtube and other programs that make the free part of it great.. The games are not bad priced and seem to be pretty good for the most part, plenty of titles and more coming out is great. The daily deals and things like that make the games even more affordable.. Con's - OK, so lets start with the size, it is a bit large and a little heavy, I do understand that most of the weight is the lenses, they are pretty heavy due to how they are made, but no OLED screens for a box like this was I think a mistake, with that type of resolution even the older games would look better and a lot more clear for what their lens does. It's glitchy, and I mean glitchy, the first one I got had a sound issue and I could no longer communicate with others on the oculus, so I turned it in and they sent another one.. But this one has many glitches as it just will go out without warning and not come back on, then I wait for a moment and it will start up again and I can play.. but many games crash and the system crashes on a pretty regular basis, now I do play a lot so? but shouldnt matter, that should be the goal.. Battery life, now this is for not only gaming but for watching movies, hanging out with friends, and trolling in a social environment, which means that you will most likely wear this thing for hours.. battery lasts about 2 and half hours of constant use.. I bought a 10 thousand MaH battery to strap to the back and it works really well, but ads quite a bit of weight to the headset. With the lipo tech these days, they should have a battery that lasts at least 8 hours.. The battery I bought lasts about 8 to 10 hours of use. They need to come out with the super deluxe bundle package.. Many things you will want to get pretty quick... The battery, extra headset, the one they offer is not bad, but was really spendy and I got an aftermarket one for quarter the cost. carry case that will accommodate the extra large heads trap. FINAL THOUGHT - Buy or no? Well I do have fun with it, I find myself in it quite a bit, but I see the games getting bigger and bigger, the size of the memory is not even close to what it should be, so I got the 256, which I will be out of room soon.. I would also suggest getting the extra strap and battery as well right off the bat.. you will run out of power getting it set up then you will want to explore but wont have the power. I would say its a good buy at 300 bucks and not bad at 400.. but much more improvements will hopefully be coming .. I will recommend this product as it is fun, immersive and will eventually be what everyone is doing.
