The Metacrest Pro Is a Heavy Headset

"It's amazing. A piece that anybody has produced who has experienced this thing, who is not universally positive about it," he says. "This is one of those things where like, I know that is so much money,. But it's worth the money."

And it's like, okay,
Speaker 2
it can be both. It can be both. But if you just
Speaker 1
look at the
Speaker 2
text, it's amazing. A piece that anybody has produced who has experienced this thing, who is not universally positive about it. There are questions. I have questions. You have questions. It was not a perfect experience for me. My demo failed at some point. And it's heavy. The way that I've described it is I don't know if this is heavier than other headsets that I've used, but it reminds me of AirPods Max that they are usable. I wear them for long, long periods of time. But I know they're heavier than everything else on the market. And this is the same. But like, here's my question to you.
Speaker 1
Are you happy to pay $3,500 for this thing? It's hard because this is our business, right? So of course I'm going to pay $3,500 for
Speaker 2
this. Say you're going to pay that, but like you would never write about it. Like having the experience that you've had, do you want to own that thing for three and a half grand? Like I'll tip my hand and say, yes.
Speaker 1
Yes.
Speaker 2
This is one of those things where like, I know that is so much money. Yes. But it's worth the money. Like I have used the Metacrest Pro, which is basically half the price. Right. This is like 20 times the experience in quality.
Speaker 1
I was going to take it from the other angle, which is I've watched a movie on the Metacrest 2, which is terrible quality. It's super grainy and low quality. But even there, the 3D, you know, having that immersive response to watching a movie or to being in a different place, even there, it's really good. And then this thing is just at another level for all of that stuff. So yeah, now this is us talking as technology enthusiasts, right? So for us, it's not too surprising that we might say yes, but I was like, yeah, I don't know. And then I saw it and I was like, oh my
Speaker 2
God, this is one of those things.
