Which VR headset is best for you: the Meta Quest 3 or the pricier Meta Quest Pro?
The Quest 3 also has a bevy of other advantages over the Pro.

As for battery life, both headsets are fairly similar.
Firstly, the Meta Quest Pro doesnt create a seal around your eyes as the Quest 3 does.
The two headsets also feature different straps.

That said, eye and face tracking isnt as widely used by apps as you might think.
This leaves it feeling a bit gimmicky.
In practice, the Quest Pro delivers vastly inferior MR compared to the Quest 3.

The main issue is that the Quest Pros passthrough is particularly grainy.
In bright rooms it’s passable, but barely, and its pretty unusable in darker spaces.
The Meta Quest 3 uses an additional camera, so its passthrough looks a lot clearer.
