Meta Discontinues Sale of Quest Pro Headset

Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued; Meta Quest 3 Takes the Helm

Meta has officially discontinued the Meta Quest Pro VR headset, as confirmed on its website. The decision follows previous announcements anticipating the end of production, with stock expected to deplete by early 2025.

Despite Meta's successful VR headset line, the Quest Pro faced limited adoption primarily due to its high price tag of $1499.99. This significantly exceeded the price range of the standard Meta Quest line ($299.99-$499.99), making it inaccessible to most consumers and failing to attract the anticipated corporate market share.

Consequently, remaining Meta Quest Pro units have sold out. Meta's online store now directs potential buyers to the Meta Quest 3, touted as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some retailers might still have leftover stock, availability is dwindling.

The Alluring Alternative: Meta Quest 3

The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable features to the Quest Pro at a significantly lower price point of $499. It also shares a focus on mixed reality, enabling users to overlay virtual displays onto the real world for interactive experiences.

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