Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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 recently got the Meta Quest 3, and it's a serious game-changer for both VR and mixed reality. Pros: Mixed Reality: The ability to blend the virtual and real world is amazing, adding a whole new level of immersion. Clear Visuals: The display is sharp, vibrant, and a big improvement over previous models. Comfortable & Sleek: Lightweight and comfortable to wear for long sessions, with a clean white design. Wireless Freedom: No wires, and 128GB of storage gives plenty of space for games and apps. Great Controls: The controllers are responsive, and the hand tracking is impressively accurate. Cons: Battery Life: It’s decent, but you may need to charge it during longer sessions. Few Accessories: No extras like a carrying case or premium head strap are included. Overall: The Meta Quest 3 is an incredible mix of VR and mixed reality, offering stunning visuals and seamless gameplay. Highly recommend it if you want to dive into the next generation of immersive experiences!

The Oculus Quest 3 is a significant step forward in the world of virtual reality, offering a host of impressive features that enhance the user experience. One of the standout aspects of this device is its mixed reality capabilities, which seamlessly blend the virtual and real worlds. This feature opens up new possibilities for interactive experiences, making the Quest 3 a versatile tool for both gaming and productivity. One of the highlights is the first revolution game, which is truly a game-changer. The immersive gameplay and innovative mechanics make it a must-try for any VR enthusiast. Additionally, the Supernatural fitness game offers a fun and engaging way to stay active, combining exercise with entertainment in a way that keeps users coming back for more. However, the Quest 3 is not without its drawbacks. The requirement to purchase subscription games can be a downside for some users, adding ongoing costs to the initial investment. Furthermore, some users have reported seeing squiggly lines on the screen, which can detract from the overall experience. The screen resolution, while decent, is not as high as some might expect, which could be a point of contention for those seeking the sharpest visuals. Additionally, with the Supernatural fitness game, the need to frequently recalibrate the device to fit your height can be inconvenient and disrupt the flow of your workout. Having upgraded the head strap to a brand I found on Amazon because the original one felt flimsy, I can say this made a significant difference in comfort and stability. Another downside is that the controllers aren't rechargeable, though the batteries do last a long time. While the Oculus Quest 3 itself offers a lot of value, its battery life is a bit disappointing, lasting only 1.5-2 hours on a full charge, which takes a considerable amount of time to achieve. As someone who doesn't use VR primarily for gaming but was motivated to purchase the Oculus Quest 3 after seeing great reviews on fun workouts, I can attest to its effectiveness in this area. Despite its cons, the Oculus Quest 3 remains a strong contender in the VR market, thanks to its innovative features and engaging content. If you're looking for a device that offers a blend of fun, fitness, and futuristic experiences, the Quest 3 is well worth considering. Definitely worth $550 as opposed to the Apple vision pro at $3500.

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.

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 is a really cool device. It really feels like you're in a different reality. You wouldn't believe how fasr time goes after you're done using it. The best part is watching Netlfix on it. You're in a virtual cabin when a snowy mountaim view. It's unbelievable. Their are a few downsides about this product. The price is bit high for the amount of storage you get, It also dies really fast, and it takes aboiut 2 hpurs to charge. If you use for a long period of time it get's really uncomfortable. One thing to remember when playing online games or with friends is the game will disconnect if you leave your headset off for about 3 mintues. Overall, I highly recommend this if you love games, tv, or just need something to do:)

Great headset for standalone VR games/apps. Overall its also pretty good for multitasking if you don't have multiple monitors and don't plan on getting more monitors, because even without any additional apps you can have 3 meta browser windows open side by side at once. 128gb is good enough if you don't plan on using too many apps/games at once and don't mind uninstalling/re-downloading apps, as the space will fill up pretty quickly if you are a heavy user. Things to keep in mind: Mixed Reality isn't as clear as shown in ads. Get a new strap for comfort. I recommend the Destek strap for quest 3 (no built in battery, but great comfort). If you want one with a battery I would recommend either Aubika, BoboVR, or Binbok. Get a battery pack that supports 9V 3A out. Get a cable that supports 30W PD. (So it charges faster than it uses power). Get a new facial interface (waiting for VR Cover to release theirs), or at the very least a facial interface cover to cover the default interface. Tip: make sure to setup a meta account and claim a ref from anywhere you find one before setting up your headset, to get credit for games. Note: In the picture is the 3rd party Destek headstrap on the quest 3.

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 previously had the Meta Quest 2, and the quest 3 definitely has some really cool upgrades to it, for example the Mixed Reality/pass through! It’s so unreal how I can be anywhere in my house and have a screen beside me with everything in the background being clear and fully colored compared to the black and white background on the Quest 2. Another thing I like about it are the controllers compared to the Quest 2 controllers, very lightweight and simple! Then, I’d like to mention something that I’m not sure that many people talk about and that’s the eye irritation/headaches that would occasionally happen on the quest 2 after hours of using. On the Quest 3, it’s almost non existent for me! Very cool and innovative tech we have during this present time we are in! The only thing I would change about the Quest 3 is the battery life, I understand it uses a better chip, therefore more power usage, but I feel okay with buying an extra battery bank for it. That’s all I can complain about this amazing product. Thank you Meta/Best Buy!

I upgraded from the quest two to the quest three and I will not be looking back. The pancake lenses give you clarity so I can look around with my eyeballs and I don’t have to look everywhere with my head as I did with my quest too the functionality is pretty much the same as the quest to. It’s mostly the increased Visuals that have me and I feel like it’s a worthy upgrade. The pass-through is a cool feature, but it’s still in its infancy as mixed reality has not quite caught up to VR in functionality. I really do love my quest three 

I love my Meta Quest2, the graphics are amazing, Feels way more comfortable than any other headset I had before, And a great price compared to any other headset out there.

I've been a big fan of Meta's VR headsets since the original Quest, and the Quest 3 is their best one yet. The visual quality is a huge leap forward, with a crystal-clear display, wider field of view, and impressive HDR support that makes everything look vibrant and lifelike. The new pancake lenses also drastically reduce the "goggles" effect I used to notice on earlier models. One area where the Quest 3 really shines is the passthrough capabilities. The full-color, high-resolution passthrough is a game-changer, allowing me to seamlessly transition between virtual and physical environments. This is perfect for quick checks of my surroundings or integrating virtual elements into the real world. The only minor downside is the graininess to the passthrough image on my particular headset, but it's expected with new tech. The ergonomics are also top-notch, with a comfortable fit and well-designed controls. I can use the Quest 3 for hours at a time without any discomfort. The improved hand tracking is also a welcome addition, letting me interact with virtual objects in a much more natural way. In terms of performance, the Quest 3 handles even the most graphically intense VR experiences with ease. Load times are fast, and I haven't experienced any stuttering or frame rate issues. The battery life is around 2 hours, doesn't sound like much but believe me if you've experienced vr before its quite a good amount, still though with the price, i'd expect a little more battery juice from the get go without the need to buying extra accessories. Overall, the Quest 3 is a fantastic upgrade that solidifies Meta's position as a leader in consumer VR. If you're in the market for a high-quality, versatile VR headset, I can't recommend the Quest 3 highly enough. It's a true game-changer! Cons: Short battery life, strap shipped with headset gets dirty easily and needs an upgrade and extra accessories (ie more money) to play from the get go. Accessories I used for this review: Power bank to have around just incase you are in a game and the battery is low, a plastic head attachment to the main strap, helped alot, silicon wrap around the face interface area (highly recommended), was much more comfier and helped with sport games, silicone straps for the controllers (helps with sweaty hands)

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.

Using this as a pcvr headset, and the ability to use this in full 360 without fear of ripping the cable out the back of my head was a game changer. Graphics wise this is by far the best I've experienced so far. Downsides I've noticed are the fov feels a little constructing, and the battery life is on the shorter side of what id prefer. Overall, I would 100% recommend this headset to someone who's interested in VR but doesn't feel comfortable spending twice the money for a dedicated PC headset.

Everything about this is amazing! Graphics, The gameplay The fact that I don’t have to use the controller for certain things and can literally use my hands is a game changer!

Bought this for my 9 year old son & he absolutely loves it. I gave it a try for the first time using a vr & i was completely blown away at the incredible graphics & all the different things you can do with these things. It's like you're virtually becoming a part of the game & having a computer screen in front of you no matter where you look. I can't stress enough how pleased i am with this purchase. The joy this has brought my son is immeasurable and how do you place a value on that?! Do yourself a huge favor and buy one of these protective carrying cases because it doesn't come with one. Protect your investment!

The Quest 3 is a huge step forward for budget friendly VR devices. I upgraded from a Rift S and it is a night and day difference. I primarily use it for PCVR, most notably DCS World and MSFS, but the few mixed reality games I tried were quite fun as well. Now for the issues. This has got to be the worst headset I have ever worn regarding comfort. It is evident that Meta's plan was to all but force you to buy their Elite strap because between the rock hard and rough facepad, to the cheap banding, you can't wear this for more than 1/2 hour to an hour max without getting a headache. I have ordered a BoboVR strap out of principle of how obvious they are with trying to make you buy the Elite stuff. Secondly, and the only other con I have found honestly, is the atrocious battery life. This thing will kill its battery within an hour or two tops depending on what you're playing. And even with the link cable, that you have to purchase separately, that will not even keep it charged while plugged in. It just slows it a bit. It seems like you could use the USB-C cable that comes with it if you have that port on your PC, except it is 3' long so you literally can't move with it. I have tried 3 different longer USB-C cables and they will not work with this headset so fair warning.
