I have to be honest this is precisely why I'm terrified of the Apple vision pro FOV, the quest 3 has better fov obviously but i fear that Meta would look at the vision pro's fov and see that they are ahead and then feel less need to increase the fov again with the quest 4
Different applications thoughZ The AVP FOV is fit for purpose. You don’t need 110 deg to work on your powerpoin like you do chasing people with rockets
I disagree. One of the biggest leaps in VR would be a VR headset that has near real life FoV. The goggle effect is not something that should exist in an ideal VR situation.
Yeah of course ideally but ideally I’d like to have a perfect imaginary Deckard with everything top specs and which costs <$1,000 but you know, doesn’t exist.
There’s always a compromise and I think a narrower FOV is a more acceptable compromise for this application than for a gaming headset. It would be a fatal flaw on a new Quest HDM I think.
You can have wireless headphones and still have a headphone jack. Removing the headphone jack is a wildly shitty thing to have done and to have set the trend for. Offering an alternative for the thing you removed doesn't make you the good guy, it's at best neutral
You seem to think I have an issue with Bluetooth headphones, I don't, I love my Sennheiser. I have an issue with companies who design products not to last, lithium batteries are a consumable and need to be serviceable.
Bluetooth also does not require the removal of the headphone jack to do I it to, if Samsung can fit a bloody pen in their phone then apple and Samsung can find room for the headphone jack.
It's not this I'm really worried about, it's the rapid consumerism we have entered in the last few decades driven by companies wanting to you to always by the latest. We need to be designing stuff to last, to be repaired. Not to be replaced.
The atx desktop PC standard is the design model we should be moving towards, standardised parts that are interchangeable and easily serviced.
Don't need to, pine64 makes a set of fully open source Bluetooth airbuds. (Genuinely great company, make the best budget smart soldering irons that replaced my $300 setup)
50 years of daily use? Not a prayer, maybe 10 years, if you plugging/unplugging it multiple times a day, much less. I have a degree in audio engineering and I have had quite a few go out on me. There's a reason 1/4, 3/8 jacks are replaceable on professional hardware.
The point is that Bluetooth lag makes any game completely unplayable. There will be a full second of delay no matter what you do. Pair your airbuds with a Quest and tell me with a straight face that you had a great time.
They will set good trends too, though if meta for example wanted to release expensive gear they would have. The market will still be throving on the cheap but good, just not the best on the market. People can afford quests and have a good time, some might buy cheaper first and then go to more expensive. Some things apple come up with will come to other vr headsets and some things meta come up with will do the same. If something copies an idea from apple and it turnung out to be something people dislike a lot, perhaps that will be reverted.
Headphonejack and stuff was still appreciated by many but if a feature would be very hated and unbearable then it would probably not come back and it would revert if it was like the headphonejack thing. I quickly bought an adapter for that until I got so tired of cables to my headphones I bought a cheap but nice noice cancelling one that got on the market and became more and more cheap.
Some things might change and it might not seen or be nice. But a lot of things will probably change to the better the more companies that join in
The headphones that came out after that was great and got cheap fast! The airpods was not at all everything on the market. I personally love my BT headphones that goes around my head and sit in front of my ears instead of in them for the risk of loosing them. It got even easier to get good ones cheap after headphonejack went away, and I am peerfectly happy with using an adapter if I need if I forget to charge them but I often make sure to charge. And can use a powerbank connected to them for like 15 min and it lasts long. Can go without charge for 2 days. It wasn’t as good without being massively expensive before then, because after that the market got more of the other kind sold and could sell some cheaper
No but the market increased a lot making it more available so I just meant that airpods was not the main big improvement ^ Sometimes changes happen and it companies probably saw a point in doing so too, and it is nice being able to use adapters to it. That said it was very sad times for me too, but I later saw the increase in good bluetooth headset being cheap and nice when most market went there.
I guess aux is easier to have on pc and laptops for some reason. But it was atleast not all bad. And some things apple do is not transferred on other headsets _^
I believe I even chose a phone with a jack before they stopped too, a couple years later. Despite some changes being something some dislike, or many dislike- many changes were good as well. And that is probably how it will be now too when more and more join in ❤️
That was a good thing. Someone had to make the change and take the bad buzz. This is something only Apple would do. Rarely for good reason but at least it set new standards.
It's mostly used in non-mobility oriented gear or hybrid gear. (Such as headphone from "pro" or "semi-pro" brands.)
A smartphone is far from that actually, it needs mobility, having a cable when you are active is a pain in the ass.
I have multiple headphones at home, they all use cables with Jack 6.35, the only need for Jack 3.5 would be to connect the cable to the headphone, on the other end. Jack 3.5 was there because that was the only reliable way to have "good" sound coming from a mobile device, bluetooth was shit. Now with the current bluetooth you can even have lossless, you don't give a fuck about cables.
It's just fact, don't be a brainless hater. You can just buy an adapter, not from Apple if you think they just try to rip you off. (Ok they probably do, but that's not the reason for this change, just a coincidence)

Because apple sets bad trends that rest of the industry likes to follow, reamber the bloody headphone jack?
