Conversation about this came up at work today…

Basically everyone thinks it’s got to be a developers headset for that price… but no fukking way anyone buys this outright.

Apple is goat in UI and tech, but not even an Apple fanboy like myself can justify this price just for entertainment

Might as well buy a dope ass TV
nikkas gonna cop this. $300 a month for one year. Yeah people will cop this easily lol

when you are talking about 3500 dollars, you gotta either save me that sort of money or make me that money

People gonna use their phones more than this headset.

This isn’t for regular, everyday people. And I’m not even sure that the people with the means to get one will do so. For what practical use would it be for?

It will sell somewhat, but Idk who would be in a hurry to get one. Even if you got kids, do you want them on a 4k headset (I’m including the tax, warranty subscription, app subscriptions, etc.

For me, I’ll be on a remote island for 6 months. Instead of flying with my computer monitors, TV, etc, etc I can bring this headset and do all the work I need with 1 device. Assuming it works as advertised.

My company will give me a spending allowance so I’ll use a portion of that to pay the difference.
To be able to entertain myself with a big screen, assuming it is as advertised, while being so remote is worth it to me. Even if I never use it again after the company pays for it. I’ll get my money’s worth out of it if I use it for 6 months. I can sell it if it doesn’t pan out when I get back n

This would actually be dope af to get a virtual multi-monitor setup for a Macbook without having to buy multi-monitors.

Being able to work anywhere with a multi-monitor setup without having to lug around multiple monitors would be an absolute gamechanger.

Gen 3 I can see this tech being really good.

I’ve been circling the drain one getting a Quest.

Real talk what can you realistically use this shyt for and is it worth it. I’m sure $300-400 is a decent cost of entry for a headset but what’s the experience like?
The experience has to feel like it's a legit alternative to the traditional computer and cellphone. Them going this high with the price says to me that they feel it's innovative enough to carve out different use cases for users that aren't being done now.
