Review of Oculus Quest 2 – a King of Standalone VR Headsets!

We told you about the release of Oculus Quest 2 VR goggles as soon as we knew more about them, although we keep on being truly astonished by the capabilities of these VR goggles. Even though they are standalone, they still seem to be one of the best options for VR porn videos in the ultra-high-definition of all – and since we are now writing reviews of VR headsets, we had to provide you with one of those for the abovementioned VR device as soon as possible. You already know that Oculus Quest 2 is already more popular than its original version and we have also told you about our little… concerns in terms of your privacy when using these virtual reality goggles – if you are an owner of one of those, then you probably do not need to go through this article, but if you are just aiming to get one of these… you are in the perfect place! Let us begin with some technical specifications first, though…

Design

The Quest 2 is a bit smaller and lighter than the original, weighing 17.7 ounces and measuring 4.0 by 7.5 by 5.6 inches (HWD), not including the strap – which is a really nice upgrade for VR porn movies, as the heavier the headset, the worst experience during the session with virtual reality porn. The smooth plastic chassis of the headset is white, with the plastic and foam eye mask behind it a contrasting black, and the front faceplate is nearly bare, with four position-tracking cameras mounted along its edge. The left side of the headset holds a USB-C port and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, while the right side is home to the power button and an indicator LED. A volume rocker can be found on the underside of the headset, along with two pinhole microphones. The eye mask easily pulls out to let you adjust the position of the lenses or to insert the included separator that lifts the headset slightly away from your face so you can comfortably use it with glasses. Even with the separator, however, glasses can feel awkward if you have particularly large frames. The headband is a three-point elastic strap mounted on plastic arms that can pivot slightly up and down, and the arms hold speakers that pipe sound into your ears without headphones. The top strap connects to the headset with hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners, letting you adjust how the top of the Quest fits against your face – the side straps connect at the back with two plastic sliding clips, which should greater enhance the comfort of watching the VR sex scenes. Moreover, it is fast and simple to adjust the headset with its default strap, but it does not provide the most secure fit to keep it in place, and it can shift if you move your head quickly or sharply. You can replace it with the Quest 2 Elite Strap, a $49 accessory that provides a more secure fit with a ring-shaped piece of plastic that cups the back of your head, and a ratcheting wheel that keeps the strap locked in place.

Hardware

Oculus has upgraded the headset's processor from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 to the Snapdragon 865-derived Snapdragon XR2, which is a great upgrade for smoother running of virtual reality porn in up to 8K ultra-high definition. This is impressive in and of itself, as the Quest 2’s $300 price makes it the most affordable Snapdragon 865-based device available in North America by far (phones with the same chip sell for around $1,000). More importantly, the new processor affords a significant boost in performance over the original Quest. It also gets two more gigabytes of RAM, for a total of 6 GB that is another great improvement – and should make your fast-forwarding of high-definition VR porn much smoother. The display has been upgraded a great deal, as well. The headset now shows a 1,920-by-1,832-pixel picture to each eye, up from 1,600 by 1,440. At launch, the Quest 2 shares the same 72 Hz refresh rate as the original, but 90 Hz support will be added in the near future. Last but not least we need to say something about the battery life – it remains limited, which is one of the main issues for all standalone VR headsets. Oculus says you can expect between two and three hours of use between charges, about the same as the original. It is short, but you can double that time with the $129 Quest 2 Elite Strap With Battery and Carrying Case, a version of the aforementioned accessory strap with a built-in battery pack. It is not cheap, but considering it and the Quest 2 together cost just $30 more than the original headset did, it is not that daunting if you really want long play sessions. On the other hand, though, 2 or 3 hours seem to be more than enough to enjoy VR porn scenes, so this upgrade is an option for you only if you desire to play some VR games on top of VR porn videos.

Controllers

Even though controllers are barely needed for VR porn experiences, on the other hand, we just could not leave those unnoticed and we know that can indeed enjoy your VR goggles for VR games, too – thus we had to tell you a little something about them. The two motion controllers included with the Quest 2 have seen a slight redesign from the original Oculus Touch controllers used with the Quest and the Rift S. They are still rounded handles with prominent rings on top for the headset’s cameras to track their position, and the two triggers still fit naturally under your index and middle fingers. The circular control surface at the top of the handle, right under your thumb, is larger than before, with a comfortable, bare spot to rest your thumb when you are not actively using the analog stick or two face buttons. The new design makes the controllers feel a bit thicker in the hand and easier to hold securely, and the battery door is less prone to sliding off during intense gameplay sessions. It is not a drastic redesign, but a few small tweaks that make the controllers feel better without changing their layout or functions. What is more, you can also use the Quest 2 with your bare hands. The headset supports hand tracking, a feature originally previewed in beta on the original Quest, which uses the cameras to follow the position, orientation, and shape of your hands. With the feature enabled, you can move your hands freely in front of the headset to control the in-system pointer. Pinching your thumb and forefinger together for a moment serves as a click, and pinching and holding works as a click and drag. This feature seems to be the future of interactive VR porn scenes and even though here and now you can already have some fun with our VR porn interactive scenes at Dezyred.com, we wish we could upgrade them even further with the development of hand-tracking technology. Even the best controller in the world will not allow you to touch the beautiful boobs of your favorite VR porn stars, and the future of hand tracking is something that we, as professional producers of VR porn movies, are truly fascinated with – and we can't wait for a more active developing of this tech with our VR sex experiences! Even though the hand tracking feature works well, unfortunately, it does not replace the controllers for most apps. While you can use your hands to navigate the Quest 2’s menu system, you are prompted to use the controllers when launching Netflix or YouTube VR, for instance.
