In the end it's a standalone headset so it won't be as good as a vive or valve index but:
The headset is very light and the weight is also balanced by having the battery at the back. The resolution and FOV is also very good for the price.
Controllers are quite small so not good for people with big hands especially with the way the tracking rings are set. But since Coolblue has a 30-day return, I recommend that you just try it out and see if it bothers you. I have small hands so this doesn't bother me.
The software is based on android and really still in its early years. Standalone games are also mediocre.
My recommendation: This headset if you mainly want to play PCVR, this allows you to play all games on Steam. Use Virtual Desktop (20 euros in the pico store, download the virtual desktop assistant for free on PC) do not use the built-in Pico Assistant.
Quest 2 if you mainly want to play standalone, the quality is slightly less but the software and game library is just much better.

I bought this headset to replace my Quest 2 (long-time VR fanatic since the CV1, Rifts, Quest 1, Quest 2,...). Long waited for the Quest Pro but very disappointed with the presentation of that headset (no resolution bump, price, battery life), hence the purchase of the Pico 4.
A purchase that I still do not regret to this day! Some framing is necessary, if you want to use the Pico 4 as a standalone headset you can be quite disappointed. The games that are there work well, but are not as extensive as on the Meta platform. The facial interface is also a bit too wide for me personally, so I get light from behind, solved by a creative 3D print that presses the foam nicely against my face! Comfort 2.0, especially with that battery in the back! After hours in VR still no glasses imprint on my face.
Personally, I have this headset for Wireless PCVR over Virtual Desktop, and here's where the headset really comes into its own. Pancake lenses with a high-res screen, without depending on the standalone software! And if used in this setting, highly recommended!

I was able to test it well with the quest 2 and the Pico 4. you see little difference at first. Only if you change some settings and compare them side by side. you mainly see image quality and speed difference. Personally I like the pico sitting on the head. and it looks better. The quest 2 is a bit tighter on the head. battery life is also slightly longer. Games are sparse software in bald and few with the Pico 4. It is fine for affordable PCVR gaming (after proper adjustment, depending on your graphics card in the computer and WiFi connection.)
Well: if you use your computer to play steam games. Not: if you want to play a lot of games without using the computer, because the offer is simply not large. Quest 2 is now an even better choice all round.
