As I've said before, I think Oculus/Facebook will, for the foreseeable future, produce the best headset that they can at the £400 price point as that seems to be the sweet spot for them. The Q2 256 seems to be exactly that. Different people have different needs and the accessories seem to cover those options. Seems to me they did ok with this headset.
I'm betting we'll be having the same conversation about whatever they manage to do for a £400 Q3 in 2 years time.

2022 or 2023? Quest single units will have to play the race game just a bit. We're going to see shorter live spans going forward. 1 or 1.5 year jumps - more depending on the SoC release than anything. We might - but it be more of a "told you so" I feel like xD Like now. I could 100% say, Told you so everyone here:D
Also you kind of disproven your self... if it was the best headset they could make for under $400 - why didn't they include over the ear headphones or a optional two strap design or even a longer cable for Oculus Link? "Best VR headset they can make" is a bit open to more than one interpretation is it not?
I love how everyone agree with Zen that they would'nt go away from a PC-Only-Headset - and they drop that hard:) While I am over here saying they be moving to a Quest like design going forward XD Now they did - everyone just accepting it:))

How do you mean disproven? We can discuss for ever what individual items could have been included or altered but that doesn't change anything.
The bottom line is all decisions have been made based on feedback and judgement of how people have use the original Quest, including what type of headphones were most often used and whether the supplied cable was used for charging of plugged in during use.

How many people used them on the Quest?
I have them but never used them.
Edit: plus you're ignoring some of what I said... it's not about including everything that everybody thinks is the best... it's about balancing what can and should be included based on data and cost... don't forget the cost.
