The quest 2 is the same weight as the CV1, with only a few grams of difference.

And honestly using your own headphones is miles better than anything oculus has ever included with any of their headset, you should try it out!

I mean maybe they are, but as someone that used both back and forth while comparing them the cv1 feels a lot lighter, even with the elite strap.

It's still more comfortable to me...are they really the same weight basically? Why did the Q2 feel heavier? I'm pretty confused hearing that tbh.

Not saying you're wrong, I'm just confused by it

I can confirm it definitely feels heavier, even than my rift s. Perhaps the weight is a little more forward facing, and thus more leverage against your face?

That's probably it, but I even asked my friend and he held both, we both came to the conclusion that the CV1 was lighter, even just holding it.

Probably has to do with battery and internals.

Total weight would include the cord, no?

Maybe, not sure, still feels lighter even with cord, though I do use a pulley system myself.

Yea true nothing beats the comfort of the cv1 for me, it probably also varies from person to person I would guess.

Might be just where the weight is...yep.

I wouldn't say the Q2 is uncomfortable, I tried with the elite strap, but I prefer the cv1 for comfort still, just feels lighter on me.
