TL;DR: We no longer recommend the Meta Quest 2.

We purchased this headset with our own money for this review.

⚠️ We do not recommend buying a Quest headset without a warranty. Meta has had issues with mandatory software updates bricking headsets, including out-of-warranty devices.

Pros

  • Can sometimes be found used for very cheap

Cons

  • The Quest 2’s screen is outdated, and too blurry to see cockpit gauges.
  • Meta’s Quest Link software is a pain for flight simmers.
  • Meta used multiple suppliers for the Quest 2 LCD panel, with significant variance in color and visibly different pixelation. You might get a panel with good color, or one with washed out colors.
