After testing both the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2, I have to say that they are both excellent virtual reality headsets. Each has its own set of pros and cons, and depending on what you need from your VR headset, one may be better for you than the other.

To begin with the Oculus Quest, this is a standalone VR headset that features a 95° field of view, 1600 x 1440px resolution and 360 tracking capabilities. The refresh rate is 72 Hz which is good enough for most users but could be improved upon. One of the main pros to this headset is its Operating System - Microsoft Windows which gives it a great user experience and compatibility with other products in terms of content access. In addition, Room Scale allows more immersive gaming experiences as you can actually move around your environment rather than just sit still.

The Oculus Quest 2 however is an upgraded version of the original Oculus Quest. It boasts an increased 97° field of view along with 1832 x 1920 px resolution giving clearer visuals while using the device; this also comes with 360 tracking capabilities too. Furthermore it contains Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 CPU built-in allowing higher performance when playing games or streaming videos within virtual reality environments as well as running on Android 10 operating system – making it compatible with more software than ever before including Google Stadia & Facebook Horizon among others. Moreover Room Scale has been improved further by adding hand tracking via their new Insight Tracking technology enabling smoother movements when playing games or watching movies in comparison to the original model. Last but not least we have refresh rate which at 72 Hz offers smooth graphics for those who love immersive gaming experiences without breaking the bank – making it great value for money considering how much tech it packs in such a small unit!

Overall both devices offer fantastic quality at a reasonable price point – however if I had to choose between them I’d go with Oculus Quest 2 due to its increased specs over its predecessor; particularly since it features Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 CPU built-in providing even better performance when using apps within virtual reality environments compared to what we saw in their previous model – plus all while having hand tracking capabilities too! To summarise: if budget isn’t an issue then I highly recommend going for Oculus Quest 2 over its predecessor due to these amazing additions that give users an even better experience when using this device!
