Design and Build

However, its sleek design and lightweight construction is inspired by the Go headset. The OLED display has a resolution of 1440 x 1660 per eye.The Quest weighs around 571 grams and has a spacer box for glass wearers. The spacer box is of plastic and fits in the cushioned area around the lenses.The body of the headset is covered by fabric and the headband has a flexible rubber construction. Velcro strips fitted on either side of the headband offer an adjustable fit. The volume up/down control button is located near the bottom of the headset. The lens shifter control is also located here. You can use this control button to adjust the space between the lenses for a better viewing experience.There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the side of the headset, which you can use for an immersive audio experience during solo play. You can also use the external speaker that delivers stunning sound quality with spatial support. The headset is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor.
