Any VR headset experts on here…i know it’s a long shot perhaps?

I don't really understand them and come from the XBOX era but my lads been on about these for ages. His birthday is in January so thinking of combining xmas and birthday together. Looking at the Meta Quest 3 and the HTC Vive Pro 2. Seen a few reviews and confused doesn't even cut it. Does anyone have either of these who can advise whats good and whats bad?
