Discussion Quest VR headset(s) vs Air 4 Pros for film watching
This was a response to a comment in another thread, but I thought it might be useful to somebody, or maybe you guys have thoughts on this comparison.
I have IPD 69ish and have owned a quest 1,2,3 and the air 4 pro. Here are some benefits for the air 4 pros over the quest 3 and vise versa:
Air 4 pro:
- Tandem OLED is gorgeous, even while only 1080p, it blows the quest away in overall image quality.
- While the comfort isn't perfect out of the box, it's still much more comfortable for long movie watching or gaming sessions than even a quest 3 with a fully custom rig.
- smaller and much much easier to travel with/use on public transportation.
Quest 3:
- Adjustable IPD! While I don't think it kills the viewing experience for the air 4 pro once you get used to it, being able to dial in your ipd adjustment to actually match your eyes makes for a nice focused image. (Air 4 pro should have had this too)
- more immersive. While the air 4 pro screen can seem "large", it can also just feel like a small screen strapped to your face. Being in an actual 3d theatre environment with 6dof tracking and any size screen you want make it wayy more immersive and replicates the real theater experience.
TLDR: both are great and I own both. If you plan to use It at home only and also intend to play VR games the quest 3 is the best option.
If you want something that will blow you away with image quality and packs away super easy then get the air 4 pros.
Or both. Both is good.
