At $1,499, the Quest Pro is easily one of the most expensive virtual reality/mixed reality headsets on the market. It is certainly the most expensive mainstream headset, though the HTC Vive Pro 2 Full Kit (opens in new tab) comes close at $1,399.&nbsp; Despite this high-end price tag, the Quest Pro is still partially aimed at consumers, which sets it apart from headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens 2, an enterprise device.&nbsp; Furthermore, based on the most recent Meta Quest 3 rumors, it appears that Meta Quest is trying to have an entry-level and high-end option in its portfolio at all times so it can reach as broad an audience as possible.

In the Project Cambria reveal, the name formerly given to the Quest Pro, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg touched on the headset's augmented reality potential. "Imagine working at your virtual desk with multiple screens, while seeing your real desk so clearly that you can pick up a pen and write notes without taking your headset off," Zuckerberg said. "Or you're doing a workout with a virtual instructor in your living room." Such capabilities would suggest it will be positioned to compete with the rumored Apple mixed reality headset, Apple Glasses, as well as Google's rumored Google AR headset.

The Quest Pro only lasts one to two hours on a single charge. This is a step down from the two to three hours of battery life on the Meta Quest 2, though the more powerful hardware could be the culprit here. The Quest Pro uses a 45W fast charging dock that can charge the headset in two hours and users can also use the two-meter (6.5-feet) charging cable to charge the headset while it is in use.

<h2>Meta Quest Pro design</h2> Meta claims that the Quest Pro features a premium design with world-class counter-balanced ergonomics. Buzzwords aside, the images of the Quest Pro do indicate a very balanced headset design, with the curved battery pack at the back of the headset providing fairly even weight distribution. Hopefully, this will offset the weight that the Quest Pro has put on since the Quest 2 - at 1.59 pounds (722 grams) it weighs noticeably more than the Quest 2 or the PICO 4.

Again, Meta highlights the workplace applications of the Quest Pro, stating that these features will "be fully present in meetings and gatherings &ndash; letting you connect with friends and colleagues almost as if you were physically there." One other productivity upgrade is the ability to open multiple resizable screens in the Quest Pro while staying in your physical space. This is a clear example of how Meta plans to involve mixed reality features in this new headset, and it will be interesting to see if the rumored Meta Quest 3 steers this much into mixed reality as well. Finally, the Quest Pro is backwards compatible with the Meta Quest 2.
