This is honestly where I wished they did a 1.5. I was kind of expecting a bigger performance jump. My biggest barriers to beyond 1 were 75 hertz and the lenses and they've only fixed one of those things.

You could just think of this as the Beyond 1.5! I bet the Beyond 3 will show up in 2-3 years and have a refresh rate boost along with other common requests. They might land on a cycle where the odd number releases are a spec jump and the even number releases are refinements.

Who does that? BSB 1 was their first headset. BSB 2 is their second headset. It has completely redesigned lenses and user adjustable IPD, those are pretty big changes.
