Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Quest 3 Recommended as Superior Alternative
Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset, as confirmed on its website. The headset's high price point ($1,499.99) hindered widespread adoption, leading to its demise. Remaining stock is expected to be completely depleted shortly.
Meta directs potential buyers to the Meta Quest 3, touting it as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." The Quest 3 boasts several advantages over its predecessor, including a lower price ($499), higher resolution, faster refresh rate, and lighter weight, all contributing to a more immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest 3 is compatible with the high-quality Touch Pro controllers originally bundled with the Quest Pro.
For budget-conscious consumers, the Meta Quest 3S offers a more affordable entry point at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
While some retailers might still have remaining Quest Pro units, availability is dwindling. The Quest 3 presents a compelling alternative, offering enhanced performance and features at a significantly lower cost.
