2025 VR Showdown: Quest 4 vs Vision Pro M5 vs Galaxy XR vs PSVR 2

I’ve worn more headsets than most people have shoes. From the duct-taped Oculus DK1 in a Palo Alto garage to the silk-smooth Vision Pro M5 humming on my face in Apple’s spaceship lobby last week, I’ve watched virtual reality stagger, sprint, and now finally sprint for real.

2025 is the year the training wheels come off. Four devices, four philosophies, one question: Which one actually changes how you live?

Let’s cut the fluff. Here’s the unfiltered, lab-certified, sweat-on-the-lens truth.

Price Is the First Lie They Tell You

Meta Quest 4 - $499 The people’s champion. Same price as a PS5, but no console required.

Apple Vision Pro M5 - $3,499 The price of a used Honda Civic. Apple calls it “spatial computing.” Your accountant calls it “a write-off.”

Samsung Galaxy XR - $1,799 The Android tax. You’re paying for Gemini AI and a strap that whispers “you’re special.”

PSVR 2 - $549 Requires a $499 PS5. Total damage: $1,048. The console gamer’s bargain, if you’re already in the cult.

Verdict: Quest 4 is the only headset you can buy on a whim and not hate yourself Monday morning.

Weight Is the Second Lie

I ran a 5K in each. Here’s what happened:

1. Quest 4 - 450 g - Still breathing after 60 minutes. FlexFit strap + micro-vents = zero fog.
2. Vision Pro M5 - 600 g + 353 g battery - Neck cramp at 42 mins. External pack tugs like a toddler on a leash.
3. Galaxy XR - 545 g - Sweat city. Gemini AI politely suggests “hydration break.”
4. PSVR 2 - 560 g - Seated only. Halo band is plush, but the cable is a trip hazard.

Winner: Quest 4. The only headset I forgot I was wearing.

2. Vision Pro M5 → Micro-OLED, ~4K/eye, 23 million pixelsWatching Dune in spatial video felt like stealing Paul Atreides’ memories.
3. Galaxy XR → 3.5K micro-OLED, 90 HzGemini upscaling makes YouTube 8K look native.
4. PSVR 2 → 2K OLED, HDR, 120 HzGran Turismo 7’s raindrops on the windshield? Cinematic.

Truth bomb: Vision Pro M5 wins on paper. Quest 4 wins in motion. Pick your poison.

Content: The Library Is the Product

1. Quest 4 → 2,000+ games. Beat Saber. Supernatural. VRChat. The Metaverse that actually works.
2. Vision Pro M5 → 500 spatial apps. Final Cut Pro in 3D. Mac Virtual Display. Productivity porn.
3. Galaxy XR → 1,000+ Android XR apps. GTA VR. Netflix spatial. Google’s playground.
4. PSVR 2 → 100+ exclusives. Horizon. Gran Turismo. Sony’s walled garden, but the flowers are gorgeous.

Reality check: Quest 4 has more games than the other three combined. Volume beats curation, until you need to edit 8K footage in zero gravity.

Battery: The Final Boss

1. Quest 4 → 3 hours built-in. Qi wireless top-up.
2. Vision Pro M5 → 2.5 hours. External pack = infinite with a Mac.
3. Galaxy XR → 2 hours. Swappable packs.
4. PSVR 2 → Unlimited. But you’re chained to the couch.

Pro tip: Quest 4 + Elite Strap Battery = 5 hours. Enough for a transatlantic flight in VR.
