Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg carried out a comparison of his company’s Quest 3 headset and Apple’s newly released Vision Pro, only to conclude on Wednesday that Meta’s product was better.
In a video shot on Meta’s Quest 3 headset and posted on Instagram, Zuckerberg first pointed out that Meta’s headset was around “seven times less expensive” than Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro.
Released in October last year, the Meta Quest 3 came with a price tag of $499.99.
“After using it [Vision Pro], I don’t think Quest is better value. I think Quest is the better product, period, “said Zuckerberg. “Honestly, I’m pretty surprised that Quest is so much better for the vast majority of things that people use these headsets for, with that price differential.”

He claimed that Quest was much more comfortable and 120 grams lighter on a user’s face, with a wider field of view and crisper visuals than Apple’s headset. Zuckerberg admitted that Apple’s headset screen had a higher resolution, but remarked on the “trade-offs” Apple made when considering the device’s quality.
The Meta chief did not miss an opportunity to point out that Quest supported YouTube and had a larger gaming library, unlike the Vision Pro.
