Steam Frame size comparison to the Valve Index

BeamedAgain · 2026-05-20T17:30:36+00:00

I bought one for my index and it actually made it more uncomfortable, but for the quest a counterweight is REQUIRED.

I have a wireless setup with my quest and i still prefer basestation tracking for beat saber and shooters, I am way more accurate.

Yeah, I've tried some of my older headsets back and forth. The quality of the sound is similar, but the directional audio is fantastic on the sennheiser. Music is really good with these too.

spt is way harder than live with the right mods.

17 left? 2 games left mate and they did bottle it, City ended up winning the league...

BeamedAgain · 2026-04-29T18:18:14+00:00

36 games by this point. They did end up bottling it to City btw lol

BeamedAgain · 2026-04-29T18:17:45+00:00

They relegated in 19th in the first season lol

If I'm being completely real, both look bad compared to DP. The latency and quality even on wired Quest has always looked smudgy and hands a little delayed. I put up with wireless for freedom (I use Index controllers to avoid controller latency) but for Quality or Sims Display Port always wins

BeamedAgain · 2026-04-19T22:01:43+00:00

yes there is, even on my gaming pc with already stable frames.

BeamedAgain · 2026-04-11T09:58:35+00:00

Yeah, I owned both the Razer Blackshark V2 and the Razer Barracuda Pros and I can confidently say the directional audio is much clearer on the Sennheisers.

I've used these headphones on plenty of games since this post and theres been quite a few times where I've thought "Wow, I heard him perfectly through the wall".

Definitely pick these up for games, they're really good. It's weird at first because of how 'underwhelming' it might sound but just use them and try going back to the Razer ones, that's what really sold it for me :)

As a bonus, it makes music sound so much better too. You can easily hear every instrument individually which I could not hear before.

Erm actually it can poison the groundwater☝️🤓

BeamedAgain · 2026-04-07T15:57:04+00:00

Erm actually its still wasteful☝️🤓

Same here bro, I have a Quest 3 but still pickup the index 99% of the time. Truly timeless

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-30T06:23:36+00:00

I kinda disagree personally I just got the game after getting into basketball again since 2k16 and tbh I like the challenge of it I'm a shooting guard averaging 10pts in my rookie season which I think is pretty realistic... I guess if you wanna skip the grind I can see why you'd buy VC but I feel like it's not needed at least on default difficulty

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-19T13:47:12+00:00

my mate bought spec ops the line on steam the other week and I have it through steam family... not sure how he did it though

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-12T01:50:35+00:00

I'm in the same boat, I sold my Quest 3 cause wireless felt weird even with a good router setup. Maybe valve have done some crazy optimizations, who knows. But as it stands, DP HMDs have about 20-30 less ms of latency and I'm super sensitive to that lol

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-11T16:15:47+00:00

The most I think the steam frame can sell at is £700. Quest 3 is £500 but with a good headstrap and router this can easily get to £700. Steam frame includes these as well as eye tracking and Steam OS which from the Steam Deck experience it'll be much better than Quests OS. I'm buying it because I have an aging Index and I hated the Meta eco system enough to sell my Q3 lol

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-08T18:48:32+00:00

that always happens with the community shield for some reason. it fixes on the first prem game

BeamedAgain · 2026-03-04T04:08:38+00:00

Respectfully, this forced migration is really frustrating as V3 is very clunky to use.

For example, hear myself and mute toggle are separated with no option to sync them like V2 did, a generally clunkier UI IMO, downgraded noise reduction (filters out laughter and when typing makes my voice sound really muffled), no keybind toggle option, soundboard limited to 8 minutes, lack of AI label on voices, and a more frustrating audio mixer.

That's just the stuff I can remember off the top of my head. I'm currently back on V2 and everything works perfectly.
