I Tried Apple’s New VR Headset. Here’s What I Loved.

The computer has a mouse. A phone or tablet requires your thumb or a stylus. But Apple's new Vision Pro? It just needs you. Controlled by your eyes, voice, and subtle hand movements, it's gonna change the way we interact with content, and each other. After much speculation about the new launch while packed inside Apple Park's first in-house WWDC at the spaceship, Tim Cook finally showed off the long awaited augmented reality device. In short, Vision Pro is far better than everything else in its class (with a price worthy of that slot at $3,499) and it knocks Meta's Oculus off the map. Within two hours of the news launching, I tried one myself. After a five-minute setup, based on my eyesight and head shape, I had a perfectly fitted device. It has a smart adjustment tool in two places on the headband that instantly helped me set it onto my face, relieving some of the weight, and positioning it in the most comfortable fit for my face. The sheer attention to detail, though, is what makes this a luxury product.

SHOP NOW Turns Out, Dyson's Air Purifying Headphones Aren't That Crazy After All Dyson does it right in my eyes. I've personally tested every device the brand has ever released, and I stand behind its commitment to giving us living cleaner and healthier lifestyles. But when it released Dyson Zone—headphones with air purification—earlier this year, I thought, what the f*ck? Do we really need this? This week, as the worst air quality in the world hit NYC, I changed my tune. Air pollution due to the spread of wildfires is unfortunately our new reality. Maybe Dyson was right to think that this type of wearable tech really is our future. SHOP NOW Follow Us Unsubscribe | Privacy Notice/Notice at Collection esquire.com ©2023 Hearst Magazine Media, Inc.
