Meta Quest 2 — Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset — 256 GB

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 hate how my local gym canceled the Les Mills Body Combat classes on the days i can go, but I like how I can now take the classes on Meta Quest 2 in subversive VR. I work up a sweat and can choose as many workouts as I want. So I don't even miss the class at the gym being taken away! This is awesome!On another note, being first submerged into the VR world, I was amazed and it took my breath away. I didn't know where to begin, but it did have a great tutorial that took place within my own "house" environment.There are soooooooo many games and apps and things to do and see, a lot of it free, it is hard to figure out what to try and do. I love how YouTube VR has totally 360° videos and VR videos thar border on creepy how realistic they can be. One lady rubbed latex gloves by my ears and it felt real and raised the hairs on my head and body as she played a tuning fork while doing this "reiki" healing. Idk if it is real Reiko, but it felt so real, it was just mindblowing.Another video showed what sleep paralysis (which I do have sometimes) is like, and while it isn't entirely what I've experienced, some parts are very much scary how real they felt, esp the end of the video.There's VR social worlds, as you can design your avatar to look like you or whatever version of yourself you want to be. I gave myself purple hair! I was sad to see the skin color choices were all realistic and no green or purple or red, lol. So it sort of forces you to look like a regular person, even if you can buy cheap outfits of role play and fantasy style stuff like queen of dragons or samurai outfits. In your home, you have a mirror to show you what you look like and you can change it anytime.Sometimes you see other people and wonder what you look like to them. But it doesn't matter. It's all fun to see other people that are real also playing games or Body Combat alongside you and against you vying for first place. It makes it more fun!I haven't tried the chat world's or social meetups, but I don't know where to begin.This can consume one's daylight hours easily just exploring where to begin or finding favorite games to play. Some are pricey, but even I paid whatever for Body Combat, as it was well worth it.Everything had Bern amazing so far, and as someone with kids and taking online classes, I don't have much free time to explore worlds, and i have to watch the virtual watch on my wrist to keep track of time or set an alarm on my phone to remind me to do things before it's too late, lol.So far, this has been an amazing purchase. I saw it at CostCo and looked it up and saw Amazon had it cheaper, and I could make 5 monthly payments for it, so I went with buying it on Amazon.You can take photos, but I can't find them to post here. You alsoncan use your microphone to voice commands or talk to people or bots or just issue commands to change how things look or appear.I can't even begin to sum up how amazing this stuff is, but I did try! Worth every dollar I paid for sure. And now the Quest 3 is coming out at over double the cost. I can't imagine it getting better than this, but the headset can be stuffy esp when working out and sweating 😅 so i hear the Quest 3 will help fix that and make a thinner headset etc. And no more rounded controllers.You can make boundaries for your world and be warned if out of bounds so you don't knock into things like chairs, beds, plants, cables, other stuff. And I have one set up for when I'm in bed! Some are made for lying down and sleeping. It's crazy.

I feel like the guy from "Ready, Player One" with this! When you put it on, time flies, so I'm glad the battery doesn't last forever (a couple hours)! It's dangerous if you're using it plugged in, because with unlimited power, you can easily stay up all night! So much to see and do, through the online web browser and all sorts of games and apps. I signed up for Supernatural and am working out every day - endless workout routines and music playlists to choose from! I also connected with a long-distance friend and had his avatar sitting in my virtual home chatting with me, and playing games with me - so awesome! Also signed up for the monthly Meta+ membership to get 2 new curated games every month. Can't wait for the mini golf next month to play with my friend! Also love the meditation apps, TRIPP, Maloka, and Liminal, and I'm not into meditating, but the music and visuals are so awesome and relaxing! A great way to get refreshed after a workout or wind down before sleeping. Options are endless on this thing and I'm so glad I finally took the plunge - well worth the money! I also bought the Kiwi Comfort Elite strap which is more comfortable and easier to adjust the fit than with the standard strap, and I got cloth covers to absorb sweat when exercising.
