Note: This is an updated post after extensive testing of the 2 models.

Hi all, we have received many queries from customers regarding the difference between this 2 models and will be discussing them in this blog post.

Both of the headsets have the same functions, where you can insert your phone and be transported into a 3D world.

The insertion mechanism for BOBOVR Z3 is where you open the cover and insert your smartphone while for VR BOX 2, there will be a slide-out tray for you to insert your smartphone before sliding it back into the box. Both of the mechanisms are easy to use but we have found BOBOVR Z3 one to be more user friendly and it does not put pressure on your phone.

The face support for BOBOVR Z3 is made of PU leather and sponge while the face support for VR BOX 2 is made of wire mesh and sponge. This make BOBOVR Z3 face support much more premium and is more hygienic as the sponge in VR BOX 2 will absorb sweat and facial oil more easily.

Both models support adjustable inter-pupilitary distance (distance between lenses) and distance from phone to lenses. However, in VR BOX 2, you can adjust the distance of the lenses individually while in BOBOVR Z3, they can only be adjusted together. The advantage of being able to adjust them individually in VR BOX 2 is that some people might have different degree in their eyesight and being able to adjust them separately means that they can get a clearer image without the use of spectacles. However, both models supports the use of spectacles.

The Field Of View (FOV) of the 2 headsets are also slightly different. FOV is how far around the face the image appears to be, and is one of the most important factor to look out for when buying a VR headset. The higher the FOV, the more immersive the experience. BOBOVR Z3 has a much larger FOV than VR BOX 2, which makes it superior over VR BOX 2.

The last and probably the most important difference is the weight. BOBOVR Z3 weighs about 310g with the headstrap and VR BOX 2 weighs about 400g with the headstrap. This means that VR BOX 2 is 30% heavier than BOBOVR Z3. As you will be wearing the product on your head with a smartphone, after using for some period of time, the weight of the headset will become noticeable. A lighter headset may translate to higher comfortability for prolonged use. This is especially important when one plans to use it to watch 3D movies. However, the tradeoff of the light weight in BOBOVR Z3 means that the material used is not as durable and sturdy as VR BOX 2.

In conclusion, BOBOVR Z3 is a clear winner as it has better face support material, a superior FOV and weighs lighter. We hope that this post has given you a deeper insight into the difference between the 2 most popular VR headset.
