The price of PSVR 2 is unknown but you have to factor in buying a PS5 (and games), as the PSVR 2 only works via a wired connection, unlike Quest 2.

Oculus Quest 2 specs
The Oculus Quest 2 was released a little while ago and so the specs are generally inferior to Sony’s PSVR 2, which has yet to be released or even given a release date.
Having said that, the Quest 2 packs a punch, especially if you want to use the headset wireless (ie, away from a PC). This is a killer feature and makes VR feel a lot more real, rather than being tied to a legacy device.
Oculus Quest 2 includes 1832×1920 pixels-per-eye through an LCD display with no HDR, 72Hz/90Hz/120Hz refresh rates, a 90-degree field of view, four inside-out cameras, no eye tracking, hand tracking, a mic, and bundle Oculus Touch controllers.

Which has better specs?
In terms of raw specs, the PSVR 2 is better in most objective senses: higher-resolution, better field of view, OLED, and so on. But you can’t actually buy the PSVR 2 right now, which means that Oculus Quest 2 (or the outgoing PSVR) is the obvious choice for anyone wanting to get into VR gaming immediately, or who doesn’t own a PS5 console.
The range of games on offer also differs and it will be interesting to see what kind of exclusives Sony managers to line up for PSVR 2 buyers in the future.
