Which should you buy?
The Quest 3 edges ahead on the Mars Score (65.4 vs 72.9), but the 7.5-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Beyond 2 if you care most about field of view and eye tracking. The biggest gaps in its favor are field of view, eye tracking.
Pick the Quest 3 if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are refresh rate, color passthrough, standalone.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: the Quest 3 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
