Transcripts
this is Apple's $3500 4K pry headset and
this is visor a $950 4K pry headset or
should I say $400 watch till the end
today we're comparing both of these
headsets to find out which one would be
most worth it for you all right here's
how this is going to work we're going to
evaluate both headsets based on daytoday
usefulness I mean you don't just spend
thousands of dollars on a headset for it
to sit on a
shelf both headsets have ultra high 4K
resolution per eye that's basically like
having a 4K OLED TV for each of your
eyeballs giving you unmatched Clarity
with crisp colors and deep blacks now
you can take a 4K screen with you
wherever you go even in bed he's going
to try to finish Lord of the Rings on
his work from home lunch
break now let's talk about the
differences now we all know that Apple's
a Powerhouse when it comes to
entertainment you got Apple TV plus
along with other streaming services and
a plethora of games which can be found
on their App Store and guess what all of
that is going to be built into the Apple
Vision Pro so far there are no confirmed
plans for Netflix Spotify or YouTube
apps on the Vision Pro I wonder why
drama plus you can have a fully
immersive experience or you can use
augmented reality to enhance your
physical surroundings Apple's battery
lasts 2 hours good luck getting through
Lord of the Rings a visor wasn't made
for all the immersive experiences that
Apple spent so much time focusing on man
why' I say it like that it's not bad but
they did spend too much time on it with
visor you can still watch your favorite
movies TV shows and sports you'll have
access to streaming services like
Netflix Prime video and even Apple TV
plus just saying in contrast to Apple's
battery lasting 2 hours visor lasts for
three now you can watch Lord of the
Rings now something visor has that we
didn't see with the Vision Pro is the
ability to watch TV with others as long
as they have a headset that runs
immersed including the Apple Vision Pro
you're saying so points no wait we're
not doing points let's do points but I
think Apple's going to win this one yeah
that's not do points now while both
headsets have great entertainment
experiences the immersive experiences
push the Vision Pro over the top see I
could be a nice guy y'all thought I was
going to be biased I mean I don't know
about you but I would love to sit in a
land speeder watching the Mandalorian
but it will cost you $3500 I'm glad they
spent a lot of time on it now was talk
about everybody's favorite topic work in
productivity that's fine I get that but
you're wrong and I hate you that not
your favorite topic that's that's my
favorite topic you heard that renji
that's my favorite topic I love work
both headsets have a floating 4k monitor
in front of you and can seamlessly
switch between reality and virtual
reality or as Apple likes to call it
spatial Computing land but we like to
call it being
immersed okay so hold on why would
anybody want to be fully immersed while
working working in augmented reality
allows you to see your real world
surroundings while being in virtual
reality allows you to cut out
distractions and focus on your work but
both headsets can do this and again both
headsets have ultra high 4K resolution
per eye not to mention there's no glare
or Reflections to distract you like you
have with your normal monitors and
finally both headsets allow you to
collaborate with others now let's get
into the differences we'll start with
screens the Apple Vision Pro lets you
mirror one MacBook screen which you can
reposition or resize however you want
Apple's also including their
productivity apps on the Vision Pro so I
personally don't use Apple's
productivity apps like Pages notes and
numbers but if you work within that
productivity Suite then you'll fit right
in visor gives you 5 plus 4K screens
from your computer along with your phone
and your tablet and you can open
whatever apps you would already use on
your computer and other devices your
screens can be resized and repositioned
wherever you want allowing you to create
your perfect work setup no matter where
you are division Pro showcase their
version of collaboration with 2D
FaceTime video tiles giving users the
ability to reposition and resize them
which seems pretty cool but in reality
it's only a small step forward from
collabor we already know on Zoom they
did show off personas which starts off
with the face scan using your Vision Pro
and allows you to join FaceTime calls
even if you have your headset on but
even those are still on 2D tiles now
visor takes collaboration even further
by allowing you to work remotely with
others as if you were in the same
physical room and that means you can
whiteboard or share as many screens as
you want just like you were sitting next
to your cooworker in the office I mean
division Pro will have co-working thanks
to immersed visor will allow you to join
virtual cafes or co-working spaces
similar to Wei work here you can meet
and work alongside people from all
around the world allowing you to network
with other professionals without even
leaving your living room or let's be
honest for some of you without even
leaving the toilet it's a damn shame
when you got to go you got to go this
closes the lid on the work and
productivity section I'm feeling pretty
good about this one let's do points this
one ghost advisor look The Vision Pro
will have an extensive App Store but
with only one mirrored MacBook screen
users will be locked into the Apple
ecosystem visor on the other hand
supports up to five extended virtual
screens on Mac windows and Linux making
it accessible to everyone and while the
Face Time tiles are a nice touch on the
Vision Pro the future of collaboration
is more than just 2D faces it's a shared
virtual space where you can work
together as if you were in the same room
even when you physically
aren't I think that's fair I regret
nothing the end what is
this a center for ants the center has to
be at least three times s bigger than
this unlike most headsets we've seen to
date both visor and Vision Pro were
designed with Aesthetics in mind we
designed with Aesthetics in mind with
design with Aesthetics in mind with
design with Aesthetics both headsets
have very clear design Inspirations
sunglasses for visor and fashionable ski
goggles for the Vision Pro and if you
wear glasses both headsets will have
add-ons for custom prescription lenses
let's get into the differences starting
with size weight and form factor the big
pain point for everyone we've been in
this space for a long time and we
constantly hear I don't want to wear
wear a 2 lb brick on my face in which I
respond all right chill out after
hearing this over and over we now have
it drilled into our minds people just
don't want to wear a heavy device visor
has a Sleek form factor that resembles a
pair of sunglasses can fit in the palm
of your hand and weighs less than your
average Apple I did that it's small
enough to just throw in your backpack
you can take it and use it at the coffee
shop at the airport on the subway or
wherever you go you can work in public
with visor without feeling like
everybody in the room is staring at you
thinking what is that person
wearing my then you got the Vision Pro
where the form factor resembles a
thicker set of ski goggle weighing about
the same as a small watermelon that's at
least a pound and a half of glass in
aluminum sitting on your face that
headset is heavy yeah it's just really
heavy for a VR headset because of all
the metal and the extra screens and
everything something that's $3,500 that
you're only going to use for like 5 to
10 minutes every few days it's like a
really expensive to now to their credit
they were thinking about weight when
they decided to take the battery off of
the device and attach it through a cord
to an external battery pack which is a
smart move to reduce weight 650 g on the
front of your face might be okay for a
15-minute demo but it's not going to
feel great for a 2-hour movie and that's
one of the major use cases Apple could
have used lighter material but they
chose to use their iconic glass and
aluminum and that will cost them when it
comes to comfort for long use and it'll
cost you $3,500 money please or you can
give Buy for $400 guess you got to watch
till the end with visor there are two
options for Comfort a stem configuration
that resembles traditional sunglasses
and a strap configuration for maximum
support for the Vision Pro there are
also two options the solo knit band with
bit dial and the Dual Loop band it does
seem like apple spent a lot of time
designing the solo knit band we've never
seen such a beautifully designed head
strap like this before but because the
device is so heavy it looks like apple
may require the Dual Loop band for all
their demos all right points you had to
see that one coming we're actually
trying to be fair let's be honest The
Vision Pro is a beautiful piece of
technology but because of its size
weight and bulkier form factor it just
doesn't seem like a practical device to
be using in public so as far as
portability and form factor are
concerned I think viser takes this one
let's be honest here what would you
rather wear on your face I have a couple
speakers playing uh some Acid Jazz this
one should be quick the vision Pro's got
onboard dual driver audio pods
positioned next to each year to deliver
personalized sound while letting you
hear what's around you spatial audio
makes sounds feel like they're coming
from your surroundings audio R tracing
analyze your rooms acoustic properties
to adapt to mash sound to your space
it's incredible is the sound is
surrounding really what are we talking
about some Echo locations what am I a
bat am I talking at what cost yeah visor
doesn't have that but visor does allow
you to connect your favorite Bluetooth
headphones so instead of rebuilding the
headphones you already have and charging
you extra we just rather pass the
savings on to you all right time for
points hey I told you this is going to
be quick
with both the Vision Pro and visor there
are no controllers you're using your
eyes and your hands to interact with
virtual objects and that is probably the
closest thing to mind control that
exists and when it comes to Performance
we have to talk about the processors
that are in these devices visor is
running the Qualcomm Snapdragon xr2 plus
Gen 2 and with good reason the xr2 plus
Gen 2 is currently the best XR processor
that's on the market today and there's
only a handful of devices that have
access to this chip the Apple Vision Pro
is not skipping on performance it has
two whole chips it's got the M2 Chip and
the R1 the M2 Chip is like having a
whole MacBook Pro on your face the R1
chip handles all the computer vision
algorithms like hand tracking
environment tracking video pass through
and in having both of these processors
no other headset on the market can
really compete with it that's a wrap on
the performance category let's see those
points we're going to have to give Apple
the win on this one this scary black bar
is what you spend on things that no one
ever ever needs we already know division
Pro retails for
$3,499 and the visor retails for
$949 however however there is a
membership option that drastically
reduces The Upfront cost to just $400
only $400 Upfront for a 4K pry headset
that's pretty insane check out the link
in the description to learn more all
right final category let's get to the
points for this one visor wins by
2550 points oddly specific huh cuz
that's how much money you would save
buying the visor over the Apple Vision
bro just kidding I know it's not fair
for a device that has everyday
usefulness and won't collect dust on
your shelf visor clearly wins here
especially for the price look the Apple
Vision Pro comes packed with the most
amount of tech but that comes at a
really high price the truth is it can be
overkill for most people visor is built
with the working professional in mind
ERS is already the most used arvr work
cap on every other headset which means
we have the most customer insights
enabling us to make the most ideal and
useful headset and that's why we've
built visor we intentionally left out
the extra bells and whistles that don't
matter so we can build you a compelling
headset that does wow all right that
wraps up this comparison between the
Apple Vision Pro and the immerse visor I
hope this video gave you a clear
understanding of what headset would be
most worth it for you
