It looks like something designed to look good in photos. Something like a Quest 3 with the upgraded head strap is probably way more practical and comfortable.

Note the strap that comes with the MQ3 is atrocious and I find it hard to wear for more than 30 minutes. I find Meta's "Elite Strap" is really nice although it's expensive and I know other people have had problems with it. Current XR headsets are all too big to really be "mobile" devices (you're really going to take it on a plane or use it in a hotel?) but once you add something like the "Elite Strap" you know you aren't taking it anywhere. Still the MQ3 is a nice self-contained package that you can walk around the house with and do activities that involve a lot of motion without having a battery pack to worry about.

  I don’t see myself taking any headset anywhere unless it just looks like a pair of glasses.

    And we did have for a while a few AR glasses, then all seem to have disappeared. No apps for them? No idea why. When I picked on the idea (late, I know) it seemed to me everything was in the stage of "almost there" and shortly after that, nothing was available anymore.

      It's desirable but really hard. Remember how the Magic Leap put the brains in a really awkward puck like the really awkward battery pack on the AVP? My understanding is that XReal's displays are really good for a compact device https://us.shop.xreal.com/ https://us.shop.xreal.com/ but those devices also tether you with a tail. They are really focused on the "watch TV" angle and even support HDMI at the expense of real spatial computing. (so far)

  Check out the BoboVR stuff some time I have it on all my quests they make really great stuff even though their name sounds fake. They're making upgrade parts to my mq2 stuff will work on my mq3 which is really awesome of them so I can drop another $20 not $70.

I wish more headsets would ape the design of the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap. Have never owned a Vive but have that head strap connected to a Quest 2 with 3D printed adapters (a setup dubbed by the community “frankenquest”) and it works quite nicely.
