Meta Halts Sales of Quest Pro VR Device

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Meta Quest 3 Recommended

Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset. The company's website now reflects this, indicating the product is no longer available for purchase. This follows earlier announcements predicting the end of the Quest Pro line, with stock expected to deplete by early 2025.

The Quest Pro's high price point ($1499.99) significantly hindered its adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). This pricing proved prohibitive for most consumers and failed to attract the anticipated corporate interest.

While some remaining units might still be found in retail stores, they are rapidly disappearing. Meta directs potential buyers to the Meta Quest 3, described as the "ultimate mixed reality experience."

Meta Quest 3: A Superior Alternative

The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable features to the Quest Pro, but at a significantly lower price ($499). Like its predecessor, it emphasizes mixed reality, overlaying virtual displays onto the real world for enhanced interaction.

Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Quest Pro in several aspects. It's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3. For budget-conscious users, the Meta Quest 2S, starting at $299.99, provides a more affordable option with slightly reduced specifications.
