A comparison of the Oculus Quest 2 and HTC Vive shows that they are both excellent VR headsets with their own unique features. The Quest 2 is a standalone headset, meaning that it does not require an external device like a PC to operate. It has a 97° field of view, 1832 x 1920 px resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 CPU built in, and runs on Android 10. Additionally, it offers room scale tracking and 360 tracking, along with a 72 Hz refresh rate. This makes the Quest 2 easy to use and portable—a great option for those who want to enjoy virtual reality on-the-go.

The HTC Vive is designed for more powerful gaming experiences since it requires connection to a PC. It has 110° field of view, 1080 × 1200 px resolution, minimum Intel I5-4590 or AMD FX 8350 CPU requirement, as well as Nvidia GeForce™ GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon™ RX 480 graphics requirements. Furthermore, it runs on Microsoft Windows operating system and also includes room scale tracking and 360 tracking along with 90 Hz refresh rate making this ideal for gamers seeking high performance levels from their VR headset.

To sum up my review: Both headsets have pros and cons depending on what kind of experience you’re looking for out of your VR headset—the Oculus Quest 2 is perfect for portability while the HTC Vive requires setup but offers higher end graphics quality than the Quest 2 does. Personally speaking I enjoyed using the Oculus Quest 2 more since I found it easier to set up quickly without much fuss - plus I love how light weight it is!
