When it comes to virtual reality headsets, there are a few key specs that stand out in comparison. The first is the field of view, which can make all the difference when it comes to immersion. In this case, the Oculus Rift has a 110° field of view while the Oculus Quest has 95°. This is an obvious pro for the Rift headset and should be considered when weighing up your options.

The resolution of each headset is also important to consider as this will affect how clear images look within VR. Again, in this case the Oculus Rift has a 1080 x 1200 px resolution while the Oculus Quest offers 1600 x 1440 px resolution - another pro for the latter headset here.

Room scale tracking capabilities are also worth noting as they allow for more intuitive movements within VR experiences and many games require them. Both headsets offer room-scale tracking capabilities, meaning they both earn points in this area of consideration too. The refresh rate is also important - with 90 Hz available on the Rift and 72 Hz available on Quest - both solid rates but again giving another point towards Rift's higher offering here as well.

Finally, it's worth considering compatibility - with both devices requiring Windows 10 systems (the former requires minimum Intel i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 CPU) but without any extra hardware being needed by those who want to use Quest due to its standalone capabilities. This would likely be seen as a major pro by most users looking at these two options due to its ease of use and setup time being significantly shorter than that of more PC based solutions such as Rift.

In summary then, I'd have to say that my preference would lean slightly towards the Oculus Quest over its sibling for reasons outlined above; however I don't think you could go wrong with either choice depending on what exactly you're looking for from a VR experience!
