By current standards, the Vision Pro isn’t bad — it doesn’t feel much different from headsets like Meta’s $999 Quest Pro. (Apple told my colleague, columnist Geoffrey A. Fowler, that it weighed “a little over” a pound — that’s not far off from the 1.5 pounds the Quest Pro weighs.
Ultimately, though, it boils down to your personal tolerance. Once I strapped on the Vision Pro, and after I adjusted both the cushy headband and the support strap on top, I never really noticed it again. Geoffrey, meanwhile, felt more pressure on the bridge of his nose and his cheeks than I did, and also had to deal with a gap that let stray light in.
