The Meta Quest Pro is not for everyone, and that's simply down to the fact it's stupidly expensive. But if you're willing to splash out then this VR headset is the beginning of a new era, one where socialising in the virtual world seems somewhat realistic.
First up, let's talk design. The Meta Quest Pro is undoubtedly the bestlooking VR headset you can buy right now. It looks refined, premium and futuristic with a sturdy black plastic build, a reflective front panel and thick padding that sits against the back of your head and across your forehead.
A handy wheel at the back lets you adjust the fit and there's a smaller dial on the front which will adjust the depth of view. Unlike the Quest 2, this headset doesn't cover your eyes completely, it's more like a pair of glasses with a gap at the bottom keeping you firmly rooted in the real world. If you prefer you can buy a pair of blinders to make it a bit more all-encompassing.
