Meta Quest 3 and Pro
The Quest 3 is better than the Quest Pro in some areas, despite costing significantly less. You need to get to grips with the pros and cons before deciding which to buy. I’ve spent the last couple of months jumping between the two, and find the Meta Quest 3 to be the best buy for most people.
Here is 5 reasons why:
1) Design and comfort: Quest Pro wins
2) Price: Quest 3 more affordable despite the price drop
3) Performance: Quest 3, hands down
4) Visual quality: It’s an ongoing battle
5) Passthrough: Quest 3 wins
The Quest Pro was the more ambitious headset at launch. But time flies in the world of mobile tech, and the newer Quest 3 is the better buy for most, particularly if you will indulge more in “made for Quest” experiences rather than tethering to a PC the whole time. In that case, you might appreciate the improved contrast and colour of the Pro more.

The Meta Quest 3 is specifically designed for gamers, while the Apple Vision Pro sort of caters to productivity and entertainment. Given its focus on exploring the world of 3D reality, the Meta Quest 3 may require some time to gather a wide selection of VR-friendly apps.
Conversely, the Apple Vision Pro offers the convenience of using apps like FaceTime. Despite this, users can still enjoy Apple Arcade games on the Apple Vision Pro.
When it comes to creating avatars, the Apple Vision Pro analyzes the user’s facial features during the sign-in process to generate a 3D avatar resembling the user. For the Meta Quest 3, signing up typically involves creating a Meta account, whereas the Apple Vision Pro may require an Apple Optic ID for authentication.
