Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for about a month now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most impressive pieces of tech I’ve ever owned. From setup to gameplay, everything just feels next-gen. The visual quality is noticeably better than its predecessor — super crisp, vibrant, and immersive. The mixed reality features are where it truly shines. Being able to blend the real world with virtual experiences adds a whole new layer of depth. It’s not just VR anymore — it’s like stepping into the future. What surprised me most is how comfortable it is, even during long sessions. It’s lighter, and the new strap design feels much more balanced on the head. Battery life is decent, and the performance boost from the new chipset makes everything run buttery smooth. I’ve played games, watched Netflix, used fitness apps, and even tested some productivity tools — and the experience is always fast and fluid. Plus, hand tracking is freakishly accurate now. It’s wild! If I had to nitpick, I wish the battery lasted a bit longer, and some of the best mixed reality features still feel like they’re in the early stages — but they’re improving with updates. Overall, the Meta Quest 3 is a HUGE step forward and totally worth the upgrade. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

I recently picked up the Meta Quest 3, and honestly, I’m kind of blown away by it. The graphics are on another level compared to the older models. Everything is so crisp and clear—it really pulls you into whatever world you’re in. The headset itself is super comfortable, too. I can wear it for longer stretches without feeling like I need to take it off every five minutes. That’s been a problem for me with other VR headsets, so I was relieved to find this one feels more natural. The AR feature has been a fun surprise. I didn’t know how much I’d like it, but it’s actually pretty cool to experience a mix of the real world and virtual elements. The hand tracking is surprisingly accurate, too. It feels much more fluid and less clunky than the last time I used a VR headset. As for games, there’s no shortage of things to try out. I’ve been able to dive into some pretty immersive worlds, and the performance has been smooth. My one gripe would be the price—it’s definitely an investment, but after using it for a while, I can see why it’s priced the way it is. One other thing, though: the battery life isn’t bad, but I wish it lasted a bit longer, especially when I get really into something. All in all, I’m really happy with the Meta Quest 3. It’s a great upgrade, and I’m excited to keep exploring all the new possibilities in VR and AR. It’s become something I actually look forward to using, which says a lot.

An extreme improvement over the Quest 2. If you are into VR, this is a must have. I fell into the world of VR a little over a year ago, primarily to play a game called VRChat. A few hundred hours later, and we're still here, having a blast every day. When the Quest 3 was announced, I was a little hesitant on upgrading, but in the end, I am glad that I did. While there are a few downsides, they upsides highly outrank them. Let's talk about the pros; - Resolution is INSANELY better than the Quest 3. The picture is much nicer and everything is sharper and clearer. - The pancake lenses are a huge step up from the Quest 2 lenses. There is much less chromatic aberration, and no blurriness when not looking directly in the center of the lenses. You can look all around and it will be clear everywhere. Whites and blacks are much sharper with a lot less light bleed as the Quest 2. - The passthrough is not even comparable. With the Quest 3 you have full color passthrough, and it's pretty darn good. I am able to read my phone, read my computer monitors, DJ in VR all while wearing the headset. No longer do I have to peek through the nose hole to try and see anything. - While I do not play standalone Quest, I imagine the performance is much better, as the chipset is a huge upgrade over the Quest 2. - The controllers are much better than the Quest 2, no longer requiring those large obnoxious rings. The tracking also feels much better. Now for some cons! - The battery life is not as good as the Quest 2, but it's easily remedied with external battery packs. I was already doing this with my Quest 2, so not a big deal to me. - Not a huge fan of the facial interface, and there are not any aftermarket options that are as good as the Q2 aftermarket ones. No biggie, support will come eventually. - The headstrap is not as comfortable as the Quest 2, however I replaced mine with a BoboVR headstrap immediately, and that fixed any issues there. Very comfortable headset with that. I've done many 7+ hour stints with 0 sign of pain. - May require a better PC setup if you are a PCVR'er! As a personal example, using my Quest 2, I would be able to run ~50/60FPS in very populated rave worlds using my 3080 Ti. Now, I experience around 30 frames in these same worlds with the same settings. This is definitely due to the increase in resolution. It pushed me to purchase a 4090 however, so this is a non-issue for me any longer, but something to keep in mind. All in all, I really enjoy this headset and I'm not sure there are any other headsets that come close - if you want to stay wireless. If I was playing wired, I would probably opt for the Bigscreen VR headset, but I enjoy the freedom that comes with wireless, so the Quest 3 is it for me! The attached picture shows my primary setup for VRChat. I 3D printed an adapter for the Vive 3.0 tracker to mount to the HMD. As I play PCVR primarily, I have swapped to Index controllers, as well, but the Q3 controllers will still work with PCVR no problem! If you're an enthusiast into VR, definitely check it out.

An amazing device, originally bought just to use with flight simulator but quickly expanded my game library. Great for all ages young to old, fantastic graphics with stunning lifelike reality. If you are looking for an amazing experience with jaw dropping reality this is right for you!! The only negative is battery life but with how great everything else is i dont mind. Lightweight and comfortable enough to enough lengthy gaming sessions.

The Meta Quest 3 is absolutely amazing! The visuals are incredibly clear, the performance is smooth, and the mixed reality features are seriously impressive. It’s comfortable to wear, easy to set up, and the controllers are very responsive. Games and apps feel immersive, and the experience is next-level whether you’re gaming, exploring, or watching content. Battery life is solid, and the overall design feels modern and high quality. Totally worth it!

The Meta Quest 3 is a huge upgrade from the 2! The higher resolution, better lenses, smooth performance, and mixed reality features are great. It’s comfortable to wear, and the improved controllers feel great. Best Buy’s fast shipping and easy checkout made the purchase even better. Totally worth it!

Wonderful product! I never thought I will start u suing this kind of technology but here I am. I didn’t know what to spect, did it primarily so could connect my PS5 and according to the reviews this product was better overall, that’s why I decided to give it a try. The VR is comfortable, I don’t feel stress while wearing it for hours, even thou I only use it to play PS5 mostly, setting up the connection was pretty easy, taking in consideration I’m a not a good with this kind of set ups. Quality of video is pretty good, I do not have any stutters or lag, recording is a bit tricky because I not capable of keeping my head aligned with the screen, work in progress. The metaverse is better than what I thought, still needs a lot of work since it looks like a cartoon world, but is kinda fun, met some interesting people there and I’m going to keep trying. Battery life is an issue, had to buy and xtra strap and and another battery extension to been able to play at least for 6 hours, thank god these accessories were not that expensive, the oculus 3 accessories are not user friendly at all, got the table charger and is not sturdy enough, sadly I cannot return it but I guess I have to suffer it, buy a third party of you can. Overall my experience is good, this is a technology that needs a lot of work still and I think the Oculus is a pretty good example that we are moving forward towards the future.

This thing is amazing the new lenses are so good. No more screen door effect. Everything runs quick and snappy. It's pretty light weight. Very comfortable. I owned the quest 2 and this is so much better. The hand tracking is also infinitely better. Its a little pricey but cheaper than others.

The Quest 3 is an amazing piece of technology. I wasn't wowed at first, but the additions detailed below helped me to optimize my device into a daily development tool and entertainment center that I am now wowed by every day. It's a device that feels like looking into the future, but as a modern device of the present, in reality it does have some limitations and hangups, which are luckily easy to fix and improve upon. At first impression, I can't lie that I was a bit underwhelmed; having already owned the original Oculus Rift and being a few gens behind, I was expecting some sort of immediate quantum leap forward. I was let down instantly by the resolution of the passthrough cams, as well as the Mixed Reality demo app in comparison to the original VR demo app ("First Encounters" was only kind of cool due to the current MR resolution restrictions and simple gameplay, it didn't feel like playing the future in the same way as the retro robot VHS demo for the older systems, but the new "First Hand" hand tracking demo app I played later on is very impressive). Where the mixed reality element shines is the quick passthrough to look around you, and maybe plop a screen up while doing something where you don't need to see any secondary screen around you in reality (other digital screens are often illegible in passthrough mode). The idea this will be worn while consistently doing many other things around the house or office every day is still a bit of a stretch imo: the MR elements are not quite there, they are simply a useful improvement and tool to test, not quite a selling point at the moment. This is the only thing that can't really be improved upon as a purchaser - yet. Also important to note was my initial consideration of whether I really needed the $500 minimum upgrade in my VR headset. How much of a difference did the new lenses actually make VERSUS the inconvenience of paying for, learning, and connecting this new wireless device to a computer for a stable PCVR experience? The Quest 3 as-is could barely go more than an hour in PCVR mode even when directly connected, let alone Airlink, and it didn't seem to offer any great advantage to PCVR itself, which seemed like a dealbreaker to me. After testing for a few days, at first I didn't feel like I truly needed the upgrade and considered returning the headset and keeping the simple Rift. However it took a few weeks to fully realize the immense potential and power of the device, and more importantly how to optimize my experience, and I am now consistently amazed and enamored by this product. So yes, I do believe it is worth the upgrade, on the merit of many aspects. First off, the battery life issue was easily fixed by simply using a 20k mAH portable power bank like ones used to charge phones on the go (I got the Anker 335 Power Bank, PowerCore 20k), just make sure it has at least 18W power output so the Quest can charge while in use, getting rid of the battery issues. I can't recommend shelling out for any device mounted battery at the moment due to claims the batteries often can't charge the power hungry Quest as it is being used, which is a must for extended play sessions. Cheap Power Bank did the trick for half the price, you can put it in a fanny pack to wear while playing if you want to cut corners while keeping up comfort and portability. Secondly, the comfort issues were fixed by buying the AMVR facial interface and headstrap which has thankfully finally been released and makes a massive difference in comfort of use. The original strap was like a cheap jock strap with two uncomfortably stiff rubber bands that dug into your head from all angles, which I did not want to wear for more than a half hour. In comparison with the Rift I would have marathon gaming sessions comfortably with no battery concerns, I am not one to complain about comfort and would usually suck it up, but I was surprised how uncomfortable the entire head mounting setup was, from the cloth facerest to all aspects of the default strap. I'm not sure if this was to cut corners with production costs or to scam people into buying peripheral products, but for $100 it was fully fixed and now feels like your head is under the car seat of a luxury automobile with the pleather cushioning, feels great. Finally, my main technical issue was with the Quest Link Cable and AirLink, where even when using an AMVR Link Cable with charging port, the resolution, battery life, and latency were all not up to my expectations. I have since bought a designated router with WiFi 6E (I got the TP-Link AXE5400, Archer AXE75), fixing all these issues and keeping the device wireless. By connecting the Quest 3 via AirLink using the routers 6GHz channel and setting the router to Access Point mode, the Quest's AirLink wireless connection is now amazing, with unnoticeable latency and incredible resolution. Note this was a decent hassle to get right, and took some toggling with the Oculus App, Oculus Tray Tool, Router Settings, and Quest 3 device settings to get exactly right, but now I can pop on the headset and jump right into my Remote Desktop mode or a Steam game. Upgrading the router was actually the most significant change that fully realized my hopes for the product, as the resolution and latency increase across all apps, and the ability to connect to PCVR with no strings attached while simultaneously charging the headset with a power bank for endless usage was a true game changer. P.S. - If your Remote Desktop opens to a blank black screen in AirLink, I recommend looking up the fix for Windows Settings in the Graphics settings in the Display Section, where you set the Oculus Server Desktop app to Battery Saving Mode, which switches it to use the Integrated Graphics instead of GPU, thereby somehow solving the issue for me and many others). These 3 additions/fixes completely unlocked the potential and optimized my experience with the Quest 3, and I am now able to wirelessly control my desktop with no latency in comfort without having to worry about my battery (just plug it into the power bank when low and keep playing while recharging, then charge the power bank up again after the Quest has recharged enough for endless play). I also bought a clip-on plastic protector for the front of the headset to protect the external cameras that I found for $10 on Amazon, and I may buy controller grips (unnecessary) and Quest-specific Prescription Lens inserts to further increase comfort and prevent scratching the Quest lenses with my glasses. Now that I have fixed most the foibles I had with it, I am having an absolute blast exploring the many emerging and existent apps in the VR/AR/MR spaces. The Quest's UI and general interactivity is interesting and inviting, and it is easy to launch apps and browse the web while customizing your workspace with screens and whatever else you want to set up your work/play space. In short, it was worth the trouble. Right away the Resident Evil 4 VR app had me strapped to the headset for 2 weeks in addicted awe, as a long time fan seeing this game replicated in VR around me as a standalone app was worth the price of admission alone. Every other app I've used from Asgard's Wrath to The Climb to Tribe DJ Academy has been an enthralling experience that I enthusiastically share with whoever is around me. It is also really cool to access your daily apps and websites in full 3D stereoscopic motion controlled VIRTUAL REALITY. What a time to be alive. With the addition of a linkable keyboard which is visible in your headset, daily remote desktop becomes a breeze to work with and increase enjoyable productivity, and even without a mouse+keyboard setup I still use the Remote Desktop and other productivity apps daily. App Developmment could use some process streamlining on Oculus' part, but the hardware is still brand new so developer tutorials specific to Quest 3 will hopefully be on their way soon, and you can piece together the steps for dev work in the meantime. So realistically, I would tentatively suggest to think of this device as an experimental standalone computer to be optimized through your own input, rather than a ready-to-go console at purchase, as it will take a lot of learning to get used to and to personalize the vanilla base product to your needs. Also expect to spend closer to $1k dollars to really make this a top of the line headset for practical purposes and also purchase all the apps/parts for a strong start, but regardless this is a high quality piece of technical equipment as well as a productivity amplifier and a standalone / auxiliary entertainment center. It really does make you feel like you are living in the future, and I would highly recommend to any techies, developers, gamers, or media enthusiasts out there who are willing to take the time to delve into the possibilities of this amazing machine. I would also still recommend it for more casual enjoyers, but mainly just to use as a standalone device as it is pretty straightforward and enjoyable to jump right into apps without all the trimmings, so someone less tech-savvy could conceivably still get a lot of use out of it, like a more advanced Kindle you gifted to your luddite Auntie who loves it once they get the hang of it and now plays apps on it all day in her free time. So to conclude, the Quest 3 is a technical marvel once set up properly. The screen resolution with wireless connection can be amazing (if it doesn't look incredibly crisp keep troubleshooting, it is not supposed to have the pixelated screen door effect as it did when I first started using it). The experience and comfort is now exactly where I want it to be, and overall I can't recommend this headset with the above changes enough. It is mind-blowing to see where VR is at the moment, and if you have the means, time, and interest, I would say take the plunge, get over the initial learning curve, and take a swim in the digital sea with the Quest 3.

I purchased this as an upgrade from the Meta Quest 2 model. The account setup experience set the tone for how good this headset is. It was fast and intuitive. The performance enhancements as compared to the Quest 2 were immediately noticeable as in processing speed, load speed, and resolution. The headset is lighter with the OEM strap being very comfortable. The new controllers are very responsive and feel great on the hands. The pass through mode is the highlight of the Quest 3. AR apps such as Piano Roll run great with this feature. Cons: Hand TracThe battery life on the headset is less desirable giving about an hour per charge for gaming. However, this can be alleviated with a usb battery bank. I give the Meta Quest 3 a solid 9 out of 10 in it’s initial release and roll out.

I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for a bit and it’s been a great experience. The screen is sharp, everything looks smooth, and tracking feels really accurate — games feel natural with basically no lag. Setup was quick, and being fully wireless makes it easy to jump into games, workouts, or watching videos. It’s also comfortable for longer sessions, and overall it just feels polished and fun to use. Definitely worth it if you’re into VR.

I do love this headset a lot. It is almost completely amazing. And no wires, unless charging, is a plus. I love the passthrough and the ability to play in your room setting. The games are mostly great. The battery life is not great but I bought an extra one; with a better strap than they supply. And it works great. Also love the ability to play steam games. However, META aka FB, Instagram, or Whomever; has ruined the experience for me. They left some bullying comments up on Instagram and I replied to one. Because I despise bullies. I then got a threat from Meta that they will delete my account for bullying! Yet, if they are against bullying how was I able to respond to that bullying comment? What kind of hypocrisy is this lol? I fought it and lost and they took my comment down and left the other up. No big deal; but on principal this is ridiculous and insulting. Bots or no Bots. The second response, denial, was real people. I have spent $2K+ on 2 headsets, accessories, and games. I would've deleted the comment myself. But no, they had to be anti "Stand up to bullies" and delete it themselves. So now, I will be deleting my own accounts myself. And selling my 2 headsets. I cannot deal with their hypocritical policies and threats. And obviously I am not buying my Finance a surprise Quest for Christmas, I am getting the PlayStation headset instead. I have never, since my PS1 days, have had any issue with Sony. I will miss the Quests because I do like them. But I just can't allow their fun crushing behavior in my Magical World. Also, the FB app lets you share posts but then says you violated a policy (Kittens of all things that allegedly had hidden spam?) But yet they leave that original post up too? They are so weird. Scammers galore in all the comments. But, Yep, Still there. But mine violated their false policy and deserved a threat of deletion. :P They won't lose much by losing my business but they went out of their way to deny my request. So there is that... I still recommend the headset itself. But not Meta's policies.

The Meta Quest 3 is widely considered the best standalone VR headset currently available in its price range. It offers a substantial upgrade over the Quest 2 in terms of visuals, performance, and mixed reality capabilities. While there are some drawbacks, such as potential comfort issues with the default strap and the quality of the passthrough not being perfect, the Quest 3 delivers a compelling and immersive VR and MR experience for its price. It's a versatile headset that caters to both standalone VR gaming and PC VR experiences (via Air Link or a cable). The aggressive pricing of the 512GB model further solidifies its position as a valuable and accessible VR headset for a wide range of users.

How you view this device is going to largely depend on if you've used VR stuff before, and how much. If you have used a Oculus Quest 2 then this is a huge QoL improvement in mixed reality. If you haven't used VR before, or if you're enthusiast level and have tried everything, then some of the flaws are going to pretty apparent right out the gate. Pros: - Solid color pass-through & hand tracking makes for a much more usable mixed reality experience than its predecessors. - Room scanning is rather cool and a much better way to define boundaries than drawing. - The quality of the lenses and controllers mark a significant improvement over its predecessors, though good not great (esp when compared with some new devices coming out). - The price point! There's no way that Meta isn't losing $ on each unit, and nothing is even close for comparable functionality -- even upcoming devices are either 2x more expensive for the Immersed glasses that are really only for virtual desktop viewing (but with much better resolution and lighter glasses) or 7x more expensive for the Apple Vision Pro (which certainly promises a lot but $3.5k is steep even for Apple). Cons: - The base strap can be terribly uncomfortable if you don't calibrate it right, and it's generally a bit of a pain. - App support! It feels like this device can do so much and yet so little takes advantage of it. Take room scanning, for example -- it can clearly track the geometry of any surface in the room, yet when doing boundary recognition it ONLY creates walls, and you have to manually input (via tracing with the controllers) any couches, tables, windows, etc... This could and should be improved. Some apps like Gravity Sketch are incredible, a ton of fun to work with, and are consistently maintained. But many more are effectively deprecated or unnecessarily limited in their use, and most are not near the boundary of even what this device can do. - Peripherals. In reality you'll at least want a better strap, maybe an extended battery, and some kind of storage to keep it from just sitting loosely on the floor (travel case or charging dock). Meta are terrible in this department. Everything is overpriced (trying maybe to get back some money on the loss for the base model?), and it seems that at launch half the most important thing didn't even work, which has led to recalls and scarcity of devices like the elite headstrap with battery. I would *highly* recommend looking into 3rd party devices for affordable options, though ofc that's its own risk to make sure they meet compatibility specs. Overall I think this device is really cool, especially when you find apps that take advantage of the VR or MR to do something unique. It's also rather intuitive, and frankly when it's working right you feel like someone from a movie with future-tech. At the same time there are too few apps that take advantage of what the Quest 3 can do, and you should at the very least assume another ~$100-200 for hardware peripherals to make the device comfortable and stored well.

I bought this for my mom. She loves it. She doesn't get out of the house much, and this has helped her stay connected with others. She talks to other people who are playing games with her. The battery won’t last all day, (which I think is good! It forces her too take a break! Haha) but a few hours of pure VR fun is more than enough to get hooked.

The VR headset exceeded all expectations. The image is clear and realistic, and the immersive effect is truly impressive. It fits comfortably on the head and doesn’t cause discomfort even during long use. Suitable for both gaming and watching videos. Definitely recommended for an exciting experience.

I have owned the original Quest, the Quest 2, and now the Quest 3. Graphics on the Quest 3 are a major improvement over the Quest 2 as well as the sound. You do not need additional headphones for the Quest 3 like you did on the Quest 2. Graphics are excellent and the FOV is much improved. Gone is the sweet spot that you had to achieve in the Quest 2. In the Quest 3 every view is the sweet spot and text is much more clear and Quest 3 enhanced games look fantastic and run much smoother. The new pancake lenses with the improved resolution really makes the Quest 3 shine in the graphics fidelity department when compared to the Quest 2.

I think these are a blast to use. The only real limitation is the battery life. But the display is very high quality.
