HP reverb g2 review before i buy!

  1. Comfort is subjective. The general consensus is that reverb g2 is the most comfortable headset around, and oculus quest 2 with basic strap is pretty uncomfortable(mostly because it’s front heavy). I found it 5/10 on comfort scale, modded it a bit to make it fit my face better, still not happy about it.

  2. Quest 2 heats up pretty fast, but mostly in the exterior, i believe because of the processor inside. I did not notice the screens getting hot, and i have my eyes almost touching the screens. It behaves like rift s in this manner.

  3. The sweetspot is huge. With ss at max from oculus software, it is as good as it can get imo on cheap fresnel lenses, huge sweetspot, think 10/10 clarity in center 10-20%, then 9/10 clarity smoothly decreasing to a 7.5/10 clarity until the 85% of fov, and the last 15% of fov is blurry and full of chromatic abberations.

  4. Be aware that the display contrast, colors, black level, brightness etc, is very bad on quest 2, like a cheap ips panel from 15 years ago. Also, the sound is very bad.

I personally could not stand the display quality, after coming from an odyssey+. And on the odyssey+, could not stand the resolution. Now i use a 65" 4k tv close up and trackir. I’m waiting for a headset with rgb oled, at least reverb g2 resolution, and at least index fov+sweetspot.
