Engadget Review
The Oculus Quest is close to being the ideal wireless VR headset, thanks to its powerful mobile processor, built-in tracking and excellent motion controllers. It’s the first mobile VR solution to let you play desktop-quality VR games. Unfortunately, it’s not as comfortable as I’d like, and the price limits its appeal.
It's the best standalone wireless VR headset yet.

Pros
- Powerful enough for complex VR
- Solid motion tracking without external sensors
- Great gamepads
- Sharp OLED displays
- No wires!
Cons
- Not as comfortable as the Rift or Go
- It’s still mobile VR -- so games are limited
- Too expensive for most people

I play a lot of Beat Saber, and I’d love having a self-contained headset with all of the Rift’s core features and none of its wires. I just wish I didn’t have to pick between a design I love and the games I want to play.
