I will post my old comments about Pico 4 vs Quest 3 to this tread

I changed from Pico 4 to Quest 3. Actually I had both for few moths but noticed I prefer Quest 3. I used Pico 4 only when Quest 3 was out of current and was charging 🙂 Then I decided to buy headband with battery pack for Quest 3 and sold Pico 4.

Main reason for me were PT and better lenses. Using Pico 4 I could see individual "pixels", good rays and some image warping. Those were really annoying, especially latter warping. Like some black hole in front of picture delicately distorting everything. Using Quest 3 all are pretty much gone. For me visual quality improved, but it depends from person to person. Some did not see any warping or screen door effect using Pico 4. That souds weird.

Actually you will loose some FOV using Quest 3 🙁 That's is the only negative thing. I really liked Pico 4 because of larger FOV and better lens overlap (no binocular feeling). You can get larger FOV by using Quest 3 without face cover by means of buying Bobo VR S3 Pro head strap. Worth every penny.

Even though passthrough might be better now using Pico 4 ultra, lenses are the same and problematic for me. There are no real reason to buy Pico 4 ultra.

    Picouser I never got why people like those bulky headsets. For standing in your room gaming sure. But for porn? Having nothing at the back of your head is one of my favourite things about the quest compared to other headsets I've owned. You can finally just lie down or lean against a high chair. Pico wasn't horrible here but still much worse.

      fenderwq There are few reasons for using "bulky" headset.

      1. Battery life increases. Using Bobo VR and 3 separate battery packs I can triple my playing time. Actually I can use it indefinitely because I can charge two batteries when one is in use. You may probably know that passtrough consumes huge amount of current. About one hour use and Quest internal battery is out of charge.
      2. Weight balance is better if you have something at the back of your head. Normal Quest 3 is front heavy. I can't lay in bed with Bobo VR but I can lean agains a high chair because bulkiest part is located upper back of the skull, not in lower neck like Pico had.
      3. Better FOV. Removing face mask gives you extra field of view. You can not do that without using some kind of headband type strap.
      4. Related to previous. No itchy facial gasket, no pressure to my face and cheekbones, no marks on my skin and no panda bear look anymore.

      Matter of taste but being able to lie down versus these four arguments... To me "bulky" Bobo VR is clear winner.

        Picouser Better FOV. Removing face mask gives you extra field of view.

        Regarding this point: Based on the pictures I have seen, increasing the FOV by removing the facial mask means that you will also get a direct view of your real surroundings while watching a video. Doesn't that interfere with immersion?

          Picouser Yeah, guess people are different, I was so glad to be rid of the backstrap of my old headsets. Hated the strap of the Pimax (which is kinda similar in size) with a passion, but even the Valve index and the default pico 4 where super annoying to me. I'd go so far as to say that one of the obvious advantages of the quest over the pico is that the battery is not in the back.

          Lol, bro one time someone was hyped about new primax coming out, talking about its 8k bla bla bla, and I never seen or even heard of primax so I looked it up, lol bro 😂 🤣, my first thought was wtf! That thing is huge and then i guess it's battery in the back but it was huge too, I thought man no way is that good for laying sex positions in vr, I hated when users would talk down on someone with a gearvr like me, they say get you a valve or some other headset, I'm just like bro your attached to computer like how does that even work, ima have to sit at my computer wired lol my gearvr worked great for vrporn 🤷‍♂️

          But yeah the battery in the back for vr sucks, only thing I hated about the pico4 was that.

            Vrsumo2017 haha well I had a gear vr back in the day too it was nice and convenient. Although I hated having to keep my phone so clean. Then I got an index, then the pimax 8kx although it's broken now, then a pico 4 which I returned because I thought it was bad and then the quest 3. Pimax was awesome for porn although the wired thing and the back thing sucked (also the user experience). Think the quest 3 is the best now though. Would be very hard to go back to wired and bulk on the back of my head.

            SchnuppiLilac sadly I never gotten told that 😕 lol

            But one time I did tell this female one time right before I pulled it out, I said it's not that big so, I pulled it fully erect and she did say what you talking about that's huge, but I think she was being nice, gave me nice bj too 🤷‍♂️

            One female told me she thought I'd be bigger, she was very sexual so I guess she had plenty of bigger sizes to compare 🤷‍♂️

            Lol

            Vrsumo2017 Yall know any good vr games on meta?

            On the off-chance you haven't tested it: In Death: Unchained. The only game I regularly play after years with the Quest(s). Podcast or music in the background and grab that bow 👌

            Red Hot, Robo Recall and Pistol Whip are also good, but In Death is just a masterpiece 😎
