The Pico Neo 3 Pro now also supports 120 Hz in its experimental settings, putting it on par with the Oculus on that front. Pico lists 98 degrees, Oculus does not provide an official figure. The field of view is subjectively very similar. A higher refresh rate means a potentially smoother experience at the expense of battery life and processing power. Whereas the Pico is limited to 72-90 Hz, the Oculus can go up to 120 Hz. Both use single LCD screens with a resolution of 1832x1920. The Oculus Quest 2 and the Pico Neo 3 Pro have similar screens. On the Quest, the widest IPD setting seems to get close to the edges of the screen, resulting in those restricting the outer area of the field of view. The foam cushion of the Oculus Quest 2 is not as easy to clean as it is made of foam, so it would need an aftermarket part to work in a context where it is worn by multiple people, therefore requiring regular cleaning.īoth headsets offer three similar fixed positions for IPD adjustment - 58, 63.5 and 69 mm on the Pico and 58, 63 and 68 mm on the Quest 2. The material of the Pico’s face cushion is easy to clean with a wipe, which can be an important feature for an enterprise headset used by different people. The Quest 2 includes a spacer in the box but I had no problem using it without. I wear glasses and had no problem with either headset.

The one on the Quest 2 feels softer and more comfortable. I offset this by tightening the headset a bit less or shifting it, but it’s not a great solution. The face cushion on the Pico presses hard on my forehead, getting uncomfortable after about one hour. But how does the Pico Neo 3 Pro stack against the Oculus Quest 2 itself? Let’s find out. The fact that the Pico headsets do not require any account (as opposed to Oculus Quest devices, which require a Facebook account to work) makes them attractive not only to enterprises. Its specifications are uncannily similar to the Quest 2, but it offers some extra features, like direct DisplayPort connection and Nvidia Cloud XR support. With standalone VR becoming popular, new competitors started appearing, and last year saw the launch of the Pico Neo 3 Pro - a version of the Chinese Pico Neo 3 headset tailored to enterprises and marketed in Western countries. Oculus Quest 2 has made the use of standalone VR popular and is one of the best choices for tethered VR too: according to the Steam hardware survey, more than 40% of connected headsets are Quest 2.

Therefore it is not surprising that Oculus Quest 2 is the most widely used VR headsets today. Since its launch in late 2020, the Oculus Quest 2 has been regarded as one of the best value for money headsets.
