many gaming PCs over the past year so we're going to show you which VR ready gaming PCs that we recommend for every budget I'll have links down below for all the products that I mentioned first up before all the optional accessories let's check out the actual headset meta Quest 3 I love unboxing things we got the 128 GB version for $500 and for $650 you can get the version with 512 GB we've got your two ring free touch plus controllers the quality of these actually feel closer to the quest Pro controllers than they do the Quest 2 controllers this is it next to the previous Quest 2 controller we now have this little handy button at the top that lets you easily pull off the battery cover you actually had to just yank them off with the quest too all four of the triggers feel and sound about the same on both the Quest 2 and the quest 3 the quest 3 triggers are a little bit more of a matted rougher material versus the gloss finish from The Quest 2 I prefer the quest 3s just a little bit more the joysticks feel about the same the quality of the buttons is definitely a lot better on the quest 3 there's actually a little bit of a rattling effect that you hear on the Quest 2 when you just rub your fingers over it but enough about the controllers let's check out the main event on the front right here we've got your dual RGB color cameras your depth projector on the bottom your volume button charging pins an ipd adjustment and then on the left side your power button flipping it over to the inside we've got some instructions for that ipd adjustment and how to pull it farther from your face for people with glasses let's go ahead and take that out we've got those same warnings like we got on the others no liquid on lenses and no sunlight on lenses this is where you can see how that ipd adjustment Works basically depending on the size of your head mine's pretty large for my big brain so I might have to just scroll this all the way we've also got these two buttons on the left and the right with four different levels for people with glasses yeah that's the first thing I don't like is how clumsy that whole process was right here on the straps are our speakers which are apparently 40% louder than the Quest 2 before I actually put this on we're going to see what else is in here we've got this small box and in here we've got your power cable your charging brick Little Instruction Manual welcome to meta Quest 3 voi meta Quest 3 basically a pretty handy quick start guide all right let's go ahead and try her on pretty snug can see a little bit of light here by my nose not really a fan of that yeah overall width and without a hat I do not think these straps are that comfortable it's not a very even distribution of the weight so hopefully one of those headsets that I got does a better job than this next up the meta Quest 3 charging dock got a charge cable the instruction booklet and two rechargeable batteries just pop this off and put those in we got a nice little Flex where you actually put the headset which is pretty cool and then there's nothing else in the Box no charging brick which is kind of lame power adapter not included minimum 18 WT power adapter required ired 45 W recommended for how expensive this was that's kind of ridiculous I tested with both an 18 and 45 WT charger and you can see here that it did actually charge 20 minutes faster with a 45 overall it's pretty nice and simplistic and easy to use but for $130 you really should have included a power adapter next up the yoji's game handles or yoges yoges correct use posture okay Mom instructions on how to attach it you fit this in here wrap it around but this one can click a little bit more to make it even tighter wow that's actually pretty intuitive and also attach these together this is if you're doing any kind of rowing motion or I guess a double-sided saber I also got the I exoto VR handles which had a slightly different setup this one you just attach this top part to the bottom part and then the little wrist wraps just kind of hung out which I didn't really like both of these similar attachments were weird and glitchy in beat saer and gorilla tag even when you have that oriented perfectly facing the headset naturally 5 to 10% of the moves that you do are going to lose tracking and result in enough occasional flickering to be annoying neither one of these add enough to be worth getting connecting the two sides and using kayak VR on the PC was pretty amazing though as long as you had it oriented perfectly facing the cameras and held it far enough in front of you it did add a nice little touch but between the two of these if you basically want to get it for just one game then I'd go with the yog S as installation was easier and it was just overall more comfortable to use next up the T solel or solle handle accessories for the quest 3 user installation instructions for meta qu 2 for meta Quest 3 already sounds pretty legit wow that is a strong magnet fit the clasp around the upper half of the controller and then place it into the controller case these are for if you're using the quest two as cheap and simple as this solution is after I manually calibrated it into my game this thing was a game changer when it came to accuracy with two-handed asult we@pons a little bit of a learning curve when it came to finding the magnets when reloading swapping gvns or throwing grenades but you'll get used to it I also got the T solle handgvn attachments these were pretty easy to attach and with my headset off and I can actually look at them they seem pretty cool but I really didn't like how much wiggle room the controllers had but during gameplay when I can't actually look at them that extra wiggle room made them feel not that secure a bit insecure actually why don't you look at me during the actual Direction the gvns are facing while you're in game is way off from where they're pointing right now which really doesn't matter too much but honestly in game you kind of forget they're even there so in my opinion these aren't really worth it so jumping into the head strap attachments I actually got massive forehead headaches when using the strap that came with the quest 3 and that top head strap was pretty uncomfortable too so you're definitely going to want to swap this out let's just start off by showing you what not to get by showing knew what sucked bin boach VR USB power cable excellent strap the bin boach head strap with battery from Amazon was absolute trash yeah it looks pretty cool and the concept with double battery charging was great but the actual battery connection was incredibly glitchy and about as reliable as a cat walking a straight line after a catnet party when the quest 3 ran out of power before the battery did I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes just to get back up into gaming for just a little bit of buffer power plus this cheap little knob on the back of the headstrap was already starting to give up on me and loosen on its own this one's so bad that I actually give it four poo emojis the next headset that I do not like and do not recommend the insanely overpriced medaquest Elite strap with battery on top of this head strap being way more expensive than the others it also had the most uncomfortable rigid almost sticky silicone material on the back that actually kind of rips at your hair as you put it on and this top strap wasn't any more comfortable either the only thing that I liked about this one above all the others was that you could actually see the battery percentage within the quest 3 dashboard but it was also annoyingly the only headset that only charged up to 70% if you had the quest 3 on while charging for safety reasons we'll talk about how all of these headstraps compared when it came to battery life and recharge time here in a sec it still just blows my mind that this head strap is more than double the price of most of these that I'm about to show you overall I give this one deuce doodo the first one on my list that actually deserved a good rating the kuek design Comfort head strap this one doesn't include an extended battery like the others but it's great for those of you casual gamers that are fine with a two hours that you get with just the quest 3 battery or for those of you Tethered to a computer for PC VR this one gets a 3.9 out of five for comfort and that great price just $15 after a $5 coupon that's pretty good the only thing keeping it away from a better score is the fact that it doesn't hold very well if you want to visor it out of the way for a quick minute in sixth place on my list the Kiwi design Comfort battery head strap that is quite the instruction manual this one is just as comfortable as the one that I just showed you but a little bit more quality in the way that it looks and feels and it also includes a 6400 mamp battery which gave us about 2.6 hour extra of battery life but it did take 3.6 hours to recharge and this one didn't visor Up and Hold very easily either about 1 hour of battery more than that stupidly priced Elite strap I give this one four stars number five on my list the Bobo VR M3 Pro this one is the successor to my favorite headstrap on the Quest 2 but compared to some of the others that I'm about to show you it's just not as good 1 hour and 40 minutes of extra play time was all this thing gave me and this was the worst battery life out of all of these headstraps I did like that the battery was magnetic and you can get two of these with a recharge stand for easy swapping but eventually you will run out of juice because it takes almost 2 and 1 half hours to recharge since I do all of these tests with a completely drained Quest 3 I discovered that this battery also doesn't provide Power quick enough a couple times the quest 3 actually powered off before this battery was even used up and this was because it couldn't replace the power to the quest 3's internal battery quick enough having to stop a game a couple times for about 5 to 10 minutes for some buffer charging was just a little Annoying not really something that you'd notice if the quest 3 started at 100% though for this one 4.2 Stars oh my warning it's a choking hazard swallowed magnets can cause serious infections and death yeah if you can swallow something this big you've got other issues at number four the atop battery head strap because of there being so many points of contact here this one was even more comfortable and with this coupon only $50 for the version with a huge hug 15,000 milliamp battery the one we tested was about half that at 8,000 mamps and this one gave us about 2 hours and 40 minutes of extra play time and ours completely recharged in about 3.5 hours and this one actually was engineered in a way that allowed you to temporarily lift and hold your quest 3 very securely this one gets 4.4 Stars third place on my list the Kawai battery
headstrap this one was pretty unique in that it had a click wheel adjustment on the top as well as on the back this gave it that extra level of customizable comfort that I really liked it even comes with two Fastener options that allows it to connect to a Quest 2 or a quest 3 and this one also comes with removable battery packs not magnetic which is kind of a bummer just kind of Clicks in but these batteries had the second longest battery life out of all these head straps 3 hours extra of Play Time on top of what you get with the quest 3 and about 4 and 1/2 hours of recharge time and my second favorite head strap overall the KK Co bvr Q3 Pro what sets this one apart from the others is this side knob design on both sides which gives you the perfect amount of control when it comes to how close or far you want the headset to be from your face this is especially useful for people with glasses and with this one we actually have the ability to visor up the quest 3 up and over your forehead we tested 2.8 extra hours of battery life and only 3.3 hours of recharge time this one is a solid 4.8 stars and at number one my absolute favorite of them all the Bobo VR S3 Pro battery head strap not only is it slightly more comfortable than the rest but it actually has a cooling fan built into it which wasn't that strong and at 100% it was actually kind of loud but it did feel pretty cool when your face was Dripping with sweat and with your game volume at about 75% or higher you won't really notice the sound you can adjust the fan speed with this little scroll wheel on the side and the digital display above it will also show you your battery percentage not only did this battery last longer than all of the rest but it was the only one with a recharge time that was actually quicker than the draining time so if you purchased an additional battery with the recharge station you get essenti play your quest 3 indefinitely all day every day anywhere this is where your ice cream comes from the creamy poop of a Mystic unicorn the only real negative is that since this is a newer more powerful battery pack the older Bobo VR battery packs will not work with this headstrap this is the only head strap that I think deserves a five-star rating now if you just want the cooling we tested the Q3 AC and high blocks cooling fan attachments both of them had about the same cooling as the Bobo VR head strap but the Q3 AC was more comfortable with slightly stronger fans and less light came into the nose area on this facial interface that it connected to if you have an older Quest two headstrap another cheaper route is to get one of these 3D printed adapters by dead ivr which actually allows you to use your quest two head strap with your quest 3 if you only plan to be doing this once I guess it's kind of worth it but it was honestly pretty crazy how tough it was to get my old Quest 2 Bobo VR headstrap on it I really felt like I was going to break it just to get it on I just think it's 3D printed way too large to protect our Quest 3 we got the I exoto silicone protector cover set this included controller grips disposable face masks lens covers a silicone facial interface and a front silicone cover the controller grips were easy to install allowed you to still access the batteries and overall were very comfortable and secure definitely recommend these the facial interface cover that went around the edges also felt way more comfortable and smooth against my face and this little extra flap that came out around my nose blocked out that last bit of light that originally annoyed me the Disposable face masks were surprisingly not uncomfortable and it's a pretty good solution to avoid sharing sweat when taking turns with friends from personal experience it might just make you look like a stud too oh yeah this front cover on the other hand it was easy to put on but also way too easy to slide off don't use one of these you're going to want a hard shell covering that actually stays on protects it better and doesn't slide around like that silicone one we got this one is from jusa wood on Amazon and it clicks on very securely and also includes lens cover for the three front cameras now to keep all of this safe as far as the most popular cases go we've got the anao the case Matic and the main official one for meta the anpro is by far the coolest but technically the least protective despite the fact that it has 3D geometric patterns to resist earthquake your controllers just kind of go in this little bag right here where they can bang around against each other and the only hard part of this case is this polygon design topl LD the rest is padded but still pretty flexible and soft I originally thought that with this more sleek and compact design that it would not fit a lot of those third party head straps but to my surprise it actually comfortably fit all nine of those top head straps that I tested and with my scientific testing of a very normal person without any mental health issues that actually proved to be false I'd say $30 is a pretty good deal for this one oh it looks like you can pose like you're in a boy band too for $30 more than this one the best protection that I've seen so far the case madx custom travel case for meta Quest 3 it's the only one that's extremely customizable by removing these foam blocks on the inside and just like the anao every single head strap that we tested can fit in this one too the controllers can have their own customized spots too so that you can guarantee that they don't bang into each other the only downside to it is how bulky it is compared to the rest for $10 more than that at $70 you get the smallest case out of the three the official Quest 3 case for meta it's very protected as the top and bottom are both hard shells not really a fan of this very stainable rough gray fabric material on the outside it's got a designated spot for cables and your controllers to fit in very nicely but if you plan to get the attop or Kaw headstraps you're out of luck as those simply won't fit technically the Bobo VR S3 Pro and the KK Co vbr did fit but it was so tight that I'm pretty sure either the zipper or the headstraps are going to break after only 10 or so uses so a whopping four out of the nine head straps I would not use with this one this is actually my least least favorite one especially considering that ripoff of a price the one that I've been using with my Quest 2 for several years and my personal favorite the case matics because I prefer function over form a close second is the anao the only thing that I didn't like about this one was that less protective controller bag now finally getting into the really fun stuff the be haptic tax suit x16 and x40 vests 200 VR title with built-in haptic feedback works with the meta Quest 3 The Meta Quest Pro meta Quest 2 sink into your haptic Powerhouse wow as you can see it's Custom Design to my apack got a little quick start guide accessories number one additional mesh lining got ourselves a little sweat vest ooh that's snug all right oh I kind of feel like a fat guy in a little coat fat guy in a little Co oh we got some snaps to bring it down a little bit that'll help back massage ooh take me to dinner first let's check out the haptic world real quick shotgvn whoa oh oh that's got some kick to it all right I could actually see how this would be pretty useful when you're trying to figure out very quickly where you're actually getting shot from now for the big birtha attack suit x40 o this one's got a gold emblem this one's quite a bit heavier only a six-pack on this one so it must be designed for someone else ooh this one feels a lot better it actually feels like it's made for big kids definitely feels stronger for sure it is more intense but honestly the only real benefit is the fact that it covers my entire midsection in firstperson Sh00ters the body recoil from the gvn specific to where your gvn actually was on the body custom recoil types depending on what gvns you're using explosion effects and the ability to use another sense to immediately determine where you're getting hit from all of that gave me an extra level of immersion that I did not expect the rumbling on epic roller coasters was also another game that I think added a nice little effect I wouldn't really get it for boxing games though the vibrations from that didn't make it feel any more real real istic honestly you're probably just going to take it off if you're playing any active games you already get pretty hot with those and to be even more honest with you when you're actually playing these games you kind of forget which one of these you have on they both felt very very close to each other it's just the x16 is smaller with 16 motors versus 40 Motors on the other one if you do care a lot about looks and don't want to look like a nerd like this guy huh sh then by all means spend $200 more on the x40 for your own reference I'm 510 you're short when it came to upgrading your sound qu quality there's two popular earbuds that people are purchasing with their Quest 3s the prism XR Vega T1 and soundcore vrp1 inside their boxes both include very similar attachments and charging cases after a lot of testing in several different games and different types of music I found the prism XR to be a little louder with better Basse better EQ presets within the app and it sounds a little bit more crisp and high quality overall the sound cord does look a little sleeker though and has cool RGB that corresponds to the device that you're connected to if you want to get multiple dongles then in the app you can actually quickly switch between them one con with the sound core though is that the tap controls were a little glitchy and didn't always work this is what the quality of the microphone on the sound core vp10 earbud sounds like and this is what the quality of the microphone on the prism XR earbuds sound like pretty much the same as far as what everyone else will hear if you do get the sound core make sure you get the one from Best Buy that I have linked below not the Amazon one the one from Amazon actually uses an old dongle that does not allow pass through charging a huge deal breaker if you can't charge a quest 3 with these on one thing that I love about both of these is that because they're connected to the quest 3 with a 2.4 GHz USBC dongle there's very low
latency unlike the latency that you usually get with Bluetooth connections this allowed for game sounds to feel a lot more in sync with what I was actually seeing both of these earbuds also work with PC and gaming consoles except for Xbox unfortunately and they also both flawlessly switch to my phone when I get an incoming call which I thought was pretty cool it even tones down my game sound so that I can hear the call and then brings them back up after the call is done one thing that I can't stand that they just removed from the Quest 2 and the quest 3 is you no longer can get phone notifications on your quest I have no idea why they're removing features but that's just zucked up next up something that I was really excited about protube VR these are controller attachments that actually add haptic recoil feedback for gvnshots I got two provol volverse Force tube gvn stock for assault we@pons putting everything together and getting it connected was pretty easy but I was really really shocked at how few games actually support this jumping into to the forums I came to find out that many other people actually had the same issues that I did a few of the games that originally worked now no longer work the gvn stock was actually a bit annoying at first as it was pretty tough to find the magnets to connect the controllers to every single time I had to reload eventually I got used to it but I really don't think it's worth a hefty price tag to get it with this haptic attachment the one on the gvn stock actually felt pretty weak and it didn't make me feel any more immersed I absolutely loved these Pro valers though the haptic feedback for the pistols felt way more realistic and it was so freaking cool dual wielding them in super hot on the PC after installing a mod unfortunately many of the games that protube says work with these don't actually work with the pistol haptics just the assault we@pons and that's a huge bummer so I honestly wouldn't waste your money on the pro valers either as especially for only a couple of decent games and my favorite one being super hot only available if you're connected to a PC once you connect your quest 3 to a VR ready gaming PC you are not going to want to go back as a PC Gamer the graphics on most Quest games really make me kind of sad some of them almost make me feel like I'm playing a Nintendo 64 again that all changes with a good gaming PC though with a gaming PC you unlock a whole new world of way more VR games access to mods way way better graphics and the ability to customize game graph options and cranking them all the way up is enough to bring tears to your eyes when you see how incredible everything looks kayak VR looks absolutely stunning and beautifully realistic it's actually kind of become my relaxing Zen space when I just need to get away I mean this game looked great before but I've never seen it look this good this is incredible it's like hard to even tell that it's fake and halflife Alex is another amazing PC VR game that I just can't stop playing this looks incredibly realistic these graphics and textures are insane I've never seen better graphics and textures in VR before and Microsoft flight simulator was mind blowingly realistic when I cranked all the graphics settings up the fine details on those cities and environments was insane wow oh it's storming this is insane we got a yacht for the actual pcvr Link cable I originally got this popular sych cable but it charged very slowly if it actually charged at all so then I got the Neu Oculus Link cable for Quest 3 and then plugged my original Quest 3 charger into this and it charged beautifully along with high-speed data from the PC get this one not that one as a tech YouTuber that specializes in reviewing gaming PCs I've got some great Insight on which VR ready gaming PCs that you should get based on your budget and I'm going to keep my recommended VR ready gaming PCs links list below consistently updated for the next few years as well Pro tip if the same game is available on the quest and the PC get it on the quest and you get access to the PC version for free too if you're coming from a console like an Xbox series X or a PS5 and you want your graphics to at least match that then I would get this cyber power PC Gamer Master with a 4060 GPU anything less than this and I'd say it's not really worth the minimal Graphics Improvement that you'd get if you want to step it up a notch for something that looks better than an Xbox or a PlayStation then I would get this Sky Tech Azure 2 with the 13th gen I 5 and 47 TI that I reviewed this PC is just as fast as the top tier PCS less than 2 years ago but now less than $2,000 versus the $4,000 that those PCS used to be to step it up even further to ultra Graphics I actually recommend the Alienware Aurora R16 as my test showed it to have an insane price to Performance ratio this one is a little over $3,000 which is actually one of the least expensive gaming PCs with an I9 and 490 GPU proprietary Alienware PCS are a little harder to upgrade so I would only get this one if you plan to be doing only minimal upgrades my most recommended king of gaming PCs though is the Corsair Vengeance i7500 this one is very upgradeable it's got higher quality components and comes with a 2-year warranty versus the one year from nearly everybody else it's actually the third most purchased PC by my viewers the number one most purchased when comparing with other top tier PCS with I9 CPUs and 4090 gpus if pretty much everything in this video is outside of your budget and you're just watching this to live vicariously through my credit card debt then I highly recommend you just get the older Quest 2 especially if you don't really care about the higher resolution colored mixed reality the quest 3 has about a 30% better resolution and a wider field of view which does make you feel more immersed but at $200 The Quest 2 is just a better bang for your buck that's less than half that of the quest 3 I still have no idea why the psvr2 was $450 I liked that one and I gave it a decent review but without mixed reality a lower resolution than the quest 3 and no pcvr connectivity made it a huge pass reports are showing the Quest 2 and Quest 3 to be outselling the psvr2 by about 30 times I tried out the Apple Vision Pro and that one is just on another level it's incredibly Superior screen with a resolution miles ahead of the others made it the most immersive VR experience that I've ever had sadly the lack of games and support for PC VR made it pretty much pointless $3500 is ridiculous even having the best resolution nearly perfect mixed reality and eye tracking it's still pretty much pointless if there's not that much fun you can have with it you can have way way more fun with a Quest 2 than an apple Vision Pro The Quest 2 and the quest 3 can do most most of what the Apple Vision Pro can do and more giant screens and multiple monitor setups for your computer 3D YouTube videos and playing Xbox games on a giant virtual screen in my living room was pretty cool too okay so I'm about to sum up everything that I actually do recommend you getting after all of my testing but before I do that please remember that purchasing all of this cost me several thousands of dollars of my own money so please remember to help support this channel by using my links in the comments and description below as I get a small commission at no cost to you even if you purchase something different after using my link overall if it doesn't stretch you too much I would get the quest 3 if you don't plan to be doing any PC VR then I'd get the 512 GB version I actually ran out of space pretty quick with my 128 GB version with just a few large games then get the Bobo VR S3 Pro super strap the case Matic carrying case the bhaptics x40 for adults an x16 for kids under 12 the prism XR earbuds this very handy VR floor mat which has been the perfect thing for keeping me in one spot and protecting my walls from getting holes in them and this hard shell front protective cover if you're now interested in the Quest 2 instead then make sure you check out my full review on that or if you'd like to significantly enhance your VR experience with PC VR then make sure you check out my full review comparing in
