The setup is largely the same as before: each of the scoop-shaped controllers features two shoulder buttons for doing things like firing weapons and grabbing objects, with clickable analog sticks and a pair of face buttons on each controller. The Meta Quest 2 features a redesigned version of the old Oculus Touch Controllers built to deliver better gesture tracking. The Meta Quest 2’s Passthrough+ mode is designed to reduce the depth disparity found in other passthrough cameras, and I found it to match up well with my actual surroundings during testing. Creating my Guardian space was as simple as virtually painting a rectangle in my living room, which I could clearly see thanks to the headset’s Passthrough+ cameras. The Meta Quest 2 once again uses the Guardian system, which lets you sketch out a playspace with your Oculus Touch controllers to avoid bumping into walls and furniture. The setup process only takes a few minutes you’ll put the headset on, activate your account via the Oculus mobile app, establish your play area, and you’re good to go.

Like the original Quest, the Meta Quest 2 is an all-in-one VR system that doesn’t require you to set up any external sensors or cameras - everything you need is right in the headset. You can adjust the spacing of the Meta Quest 2's lenses with three different viewing settings by pinching them or spreading them out manually right within the inside of the headset, eliminating the need for the switch that sat at the bottom of the original Quest.

You’ll find a power button on the right side of the headset, a volume rocker on the right underside, and a USB-C port and headphone jack on the left for charging and audio. The headset’s sparse, smartly placed button and port layout help maintain its seamless design. Plus, the light gray color also makes the Quest 2 easy on the eye. A simple strap and four camera sensors on the headset give it a simple and clean aesthetics that means it looks decent just sitting on a desk as well as mounted on one's head. Normally, VR headsets feature bulky goggles, but the Quest 2 replaces those with a light and comfortable headset that is 10% lighter than its predecessor. When it comes to design the Meta Quest 2 is sleek for a virtual reality headset.
