Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing !!! I had the Quest 2 since 2020. I owned the 64gb model. It quickly would fill with games and videos etc… So this go around I got the 128gb. I would say if you can afford the larger size go for it. Most people will have Reel fishing, mini golf and contractors always on the Quest to come back to. Saying that to say that once I got what I wanted downloaded I’ve got about 34 gb left of storage. So it’s really close to being full already. Keep that in mind before you purchase. Now to the good stuff. So what do I think about the new Quest 3?? Well I’m not sure I can tell it’s lighter. But there’s less plastic. The graphics are much more vibrant and crisp. I haven’t seen many games do updates to take advantage of the graphics yet. The headstrap is better than the Quest 2 one. But you’ll still find yourself waiting for the BoBo headstrap to come out. The fabric facial interface may have the same issue as the 1st quest. My face has a red almost like sunburn mark on it after a few uses. So you’ll want a silicon cover. The controllers wow. I miss the rings to set them down and hold them but !! They are nice. Responsive and the haptics are super realistic. Try contractors and tell me what you think! The audio is amazing too. Super immersive audio. Louder and little more bass. You’ll definitely want grips for the controllers though. Battery life does seem less than the Quest 2. The mixed reality part ? Yeah that’s pretty awesome. Quickly after the demo game you’ll realize wow there’s a world of potential here. The cameras are now color and they are decent. I wouldn’t say go pro amazing but slight improvement over the black and white ones. I would say for kicks I took a phone call at work with it on in pass through and I could see to type if I got close to the screen and keyboard lol So really you can have some browsers and things up and do other things all while in mixed reality. Can’t wait to see where this goes !! Lastly glitches ?? I’ve seen quite a few with the controllers going their own way, the video glitches often like a weird oil like separation of the picture. Then the whole thing will turn black and glitch like it does on the Quest 2 sometimes. But over all I’m hoping it can be fixed in an update. Oh the bars and apps sometimes have like a shadow behind them? Weird. Over all I say BUY IT. lol Get you one now!

Moving from OG Vive to Reverb G2, I was not expecting the jump in quality going to the Quest 3. The clarity is amazing as everything is the sweet spot with this headset. Wireless has been flawless with my network and using Steamlink and Virtual Desktop. I have even enjoyed the mixed reality experiences in some of the games. Only negative is battery life and the basic headstrap, but I have fixed that with an upgraded BoboVR strap and battery. Well done Meta.

There was a significant price increase from Quest 2 to Quest 3 indeed. But the quality of its lenses, and the improved mixed reality do justify the current price tag (USD500) in my opinion. Some areas that require improvement: 1) The battery life of the controls is about only 1 week with a set of alkaline, depending on how intense you use them. That's why I bought some high capacity rechargeable Amazon batteries, which are holding on for at least 3 weeks. Highly recommended. 2) I also bought a silicone face pad to put over the original fabric to avoid is getting dirt, and wear out. 3) I had to buy an USB 3.0 cable as well. The one included in the box (to my surprise) is a cheap and short USB 2.0.

Great standalone headset with few issues. The color passtrough is a nice feature that lets you do just about anything with the headset on. The only issues ive had is not getting airlink to work and the battery draining a little fast without the link cable. The visuals are great and have a nice fov for its size and weight the headstap makes sure it doesnt come off in an interesting way which can be hard on longer hair like mine. The hand tracking is vastly improved upon compared to the quest 1 i had before and the controlers tack better too however i have replaced them with the self tracking controllers of the quest pro.

I am a VR enthusiast and the Quest 3 is my 6th headset (my kid and wife inherited most of my other ones). My go to PC headset is the Valve Index and I thought the Quest 3 was a great option for stand-alone and playing wirelessly with my laptop. After putting many hours into using the 3, I have to say I am quite impressed with the visuals. Though, I do not think it will quite replace my Index (controllers and tracking are amazing), I do see myself using it all the time as stand alone and with my laptop, when I am away from home. My go-to VR game on my laptop has been Alien Isolation and with the improved visuals on the 3, it looks amazing. Also, the passthrough is a huge improvement and I look forward to seeing what developers can do with MR. Only bad things I can say is that it is just a couple steps forward in actualizing "Ready Player One", or "SOA" immersion. Not there yet. The other bad thing is you cannot stick with the included head-strap. I had been paying close attention to the feedback online in this regard, so I had a upgraded strap on the day I received my 3. It is a must, if you want to be comfortable. All in all I really like the Quest 3 and look forward to more games that push it's power and capabilities.

Been using it for a week now and I can safely say that it's definitely an overall improvement over the Quest 2. The pancake style lens, proper IPD adjustment being back from the Quest 1, higher resolution panels, better audio, wifi-6e support (Big plus for Virtual Desktop users, improved pass-through and depth sensor, and thinner device profile, and generally higher performance have all been very solid improvements over the Quest 2. Aside from that there have been some downsides that I'd consider to keep this from getting a 5/5 review. The stock strap is just subpar, it works but the strap in general is not very comfortable, I tend to get discomfort on the rear portion even vs the stock Quest 2 strap which also was just not great but I'd almost want that over this. Just upgrade it to a 3rd party strap like Bobovr or Elite strap down the line.(Assuming they don't turn out like the Quest 2 Elite Straps towards launch snapping in half for no reason). 2nd, the stock foam while I'd say is better than the Quest 2's is also not very comfortable, again, consider other options like VRCover. 3rd, the microphone at least at the moment is noticeably worse than the Quest 2, quality is just a big downgrade, someone was able to use EQ on PC to get improved results, but this should be addressed by Oculus/Meta asap via a software update. Also had some minor issues with my right controller trigger, had an odd spring feeling to it that has seemed to settled out but it'll be something I'll need to keep an eye on. Either way, I'd still highly recommend the Quest 3 both as a standalone device or for Wireless PC VR via Virtual Desktop. If it's you're first time messing with VR especially for PC, the Quest 2 is still honestly an easy sell especially as the price decreases, just know as more standalone games come out taking advantage of the Quest 3s hardware the Quest 2 will eventually fall off, which is expected. Quest 2 was already starting to struggle with some sideloaded ports like Jedi Outcast 2.

So, I started with the original Oculus Developer Kit 1, then on to 2, then the consumer Rift, Rift S, Quest 2, and temporarily had a Quest Pro (a great piece of tech, but too expensive..returned in 1 week). We've come a long way with Quest 3.... - The clarity of the new "pancake" lenses are a marvel after dealing for years with the now primitive, Fresnel lenses. No more having to reposition the flipping headset around, over and over just to find that one tiny spot of clarity while their outer area remains blurry. These flat pancake lenses are just super clear all around, from edge to edge. - The resolution bump from the Q2 is another nice welcome. The blacks are not jet black like you would find on an OLED screen (like the PlayStation VR2), but that would bring the cost up. When you're playing games or experiences, you won't even be thinking about it. Would you rather have fresnel lenses like PS2VR? I don't think so. In addition to these new features, the fieild of view has widened on Quest 3, another upgrade that makes a difference. - The sound is beefier and louder. No more tin can alley like the Q2, and the fantastic spatial sound adds more to the immersion. I went back and played some older games, finding sounds that I've never quite heard on Quest 2, which really surprised me. The haptics are also very much improved over the Q2, though not as potent as I would have liked. The Pro controllers are more advanced in this department, as is the PSVR2. - The controller wrap around rings over the hands are a thing of the past, and good riddance. These controllers feel great, and track without a hitch. I'm super glad that they are sticking to regular AAA batteries for the controllers. They last a sick amount of time, as opposed to the Quest Pro controllers which are rechargeable. Some people prefer that style, but I prefer having to simply replace batteries and continue playing, rather than waiting for yet another device to recharge Plus, I remember getting overheating warnings with the Pro Controllers, and they never felt warm. If you didn't put the controllers down for a bit, the warning would not go away. There's a number of complaints about this odd issue in the Oculus forums. Not sure if they fixed this by now, but I do remember the Oculus mods being dumbfounded by this ordeal. The Mixed Reality / Passthrough As someone who's been around the tech industry for over 35 years, this is a new level of entertainment. Mixed Reality puts virtual objects right in your real space. Imagine sitting on your couch, viewing your entire room, while watching a spaceship break through your ceiling and land on your couch. Following that, you'll view in amazement as alien fuzzballs start breaking apart the walls to your surroundings, trying to get in, while revealing a complete alien landscape as you race to catch those critters with the supplied blaster as they pop in and land on your floor, and furniture! You have to see it to believe it. You're still in your room, but now all the walls have been blown out. This all works convincingly thanks to the new room scanning feature, which is something right out of the Matrix. You simply walk and look around your room(s) as it automatically detects walls and obstacles during setup. How about playing a dungeon crawling board game ON YOUR ACTUAL TABLE, or break into a sweat as zombies smash through your doorways, and climb in from the windows. If that's too much, then why not set up a giant TV screen that would dwarf the real TV in your room. Dozens of games and apps already have been updated to support mixed reality, so there's already many things to try out. Every day seems to bring more. The beauty of Mixed Reality is that you're not fully engulfed in Virtual Reality. You're still seeing all of your real world, but the virtual stuff comes to you! This is a wonderful way to introduce newcomers to VR who may not feel comfortable completely cut off from their surroundings. So, now you can exercise with a virtual trainer, box against a computer opponent in your own living room, or explore your house which can be haunted with ghosts. All this can be done without worrying about kicking your dog, watching if your baby wanders away or smashing your skull into a real TV set. One other advantage, it cuts down the possibility of motion sickness which can be a problem for certain people. The one big complaint about mixed reality - the passthrough is kind of fuzzy, so your real world has kind of a grainy film over it, and when combined with the stunning virtual objects, there's a stark difference. Good lighting helps the situation, but ultimately, it becomes a non-issue because once your play area is combined with the virtual world, you won't even be much concerned about the quality; your room becomes the backdrop as your eyes are mainly focused on the virtual parts, leaving the whole mix to be quite convincing, and for this price point, to have this feature? Are you kidding me? It's amazing! Of course, you can alway play in total virtual reality, because that's still the popular choice for hardcore VR enthusiasts. Speaking of which, I've seen many comments on various forums where VR veterans were knocking mixed reality, saying things like "who wants this? I don't need mixed reality, I will only play in complete Virtual". After a few days, I already saw a change of heart. Now it's, "oh wow, I never thought I'd get into this, now I want more!". Yeah, mixed reality is here to stay and grow. The comfort Well, here's where I personally find a negative. The default strap provided with the Meta Quest 3 is similar to the strap on the Quest 2, however, this has a bit more stability, with its adjustable Y-shaped back. It's one of those things, you try on, and think - oh, this isn't bad at all, only to find shortly after, either your forehead, cheeks or both feel a bit too much pressure. It's not as bad as the Quest 2, as the Quest 3, doesn't protrude as much, due to its new design, but it's no way good for long play sessions. I simply purchased a 3rd Party Elite-style strap on Amazon.. so mission accomplished there as it's a very comfortable, halo-style ($37.00) which is the way to go. Battery life ...is still short - around two hours, though some complained it's even shorter. I tend to use an ultra-long C cable plugged into an Anker power supply and I can go all day, and only take it off if I'm playing something like Beat Saber, or anything else that requires a lot of crazy hand movements. PCVR Like its predecessor, the Q3 will work with your PC Oculus and Steam VR games, providing you have a powerful PC. With the new resolution, wider FOV and lenses, PCVR games look better than ever! Overall - I absolutely love the Quest 3, even my spouse who had no interest in VR was amazed by the mixed reality and now wants one as well.

We purchased our Meta Quest 3 from Best Buy on December 19th, 2023, as an upgrade from our Quest 2. From the moment we unboxed it, the cleanliness of the packaging and the impressive build quality far surpassed our expectations. Performance-wise, the Quest 3 delivers in every way. It’s much sharper and far more responsive than the Quest 2, with noticeable graphical improvements that elevate the VR experience. Comfort and tracking have also been excellent. Meta’s software ecosystem continues to shine. The firmware process is simple and reliable, with no compatibility headaches. Meta makes updates and account management effortless. Any issues we’ve encountered have been handled by Meta with ease. Their support has consistently been straightforward, and in some cases, they have gone above and beyond what was required to ensure satisfaction. While the launch price felt a bit steep, the current pricing structure feels very fair for the quality and capabilities of this device. Overall, the Meta Quest 3 has been a fantastic purchase. We intended to use it frequently, but it has far exceeded that expectation, becoming a device we use daily. Rock solid in both performance and fun, it’s an easy recommendation for anyone considering a VR headset.

I've found the Quest 3 to be a major improvement over the Quest 2. Better graphics, larger field of view, more comfortable to wear and most importantly less issues with motion sickness. Myself, I had constant motion sickness issues with the Quest 2. That limited the amount of time I could use it. With the Quest 3 I have almost no motion sickness issues. The only complaint I have with the Q3 is with the battery life. It does not last as long as the Quest 2, but that is the trade off from improving the tech. It simply uses more power. I recommend one accessory as a "must have" and that's a head strap with a battery pack. You are going to want to replace the stock strap anyway, the available elite and 3rd party straps are far more comfortable than the stock strap. With a battery pack you can stretch your continuous play time by an hour, and even more if you get a strap with swappable batteries. I recommend the Quest 3 as a good upgrade with one caveat. It costs, at this time, twice the price of the Quest 2. The Q2 is a nice VR unit and works well so unless you must have the latest best tech now, you may want to hold out for a sale

Ive been a PC VR player but couldnt justify the price for Vive Pro or newer headsets. Work all day, dad at night. Time is minimal. Is this worth $500? Yes but maybe wait for the first time its on sale. The room set up is amazingly easy. Look around, minor changes and objects for AR, and done. Saves the space and knows when you return for quicker set up moving forward. I do use it to wirelessly connect Steam VR and use the airlink vs virtual desktop. Ive had no issues with lag but do have all Wi-Fi 6E equipment. PC, Router, headset. The visuals as all reviews seem to all agree on are amazing. Passthru is good and look forward to improvements down the line. Why wait for a sale... games and accessories. Games are pricy for some of the must haves. Youll want a new strap. Stock is good for showing people the tech but long gaming sessions get uncomfortable. Stock battery life about 2 hours which is about the time the headset feels like it wants off. New strap with battery is on the horizon for me. AR games are few but its a chicken or egg situation. New tech, early in development but will come out more. If you wait for holidays or even after, wait for a sale and for more games to release and dive in!!!

I love it love it love it. Battery life is the only thing that could see some improvement, but its on par with the industry. This is such an upgrade from the quest 2. Both in comfort, quality, and features. Games appear so great, and the lenses look amazing. I use it for flight simulators mostly, and its incredible, especially for the price. I often times find myself using it to multitask on my PC while working, and that is fantastic. If you havent used the app, Immersed, youre missing out (for multitasking). Seriously, you cant go wrong with this.

It's a very good product, especially factoring in price. It has great resolution, VASTLY improved controls and motion tracking, the graphics are far superior and the AR component is very good for the price. There's one huge issue though, and it's the battery. We're talking 2 1/2 hours tops no matter what you do, which makes it markedly worse than the Quest 2. Another thing to consider though when looking at the price is the fact that they nickel and dime you in a way that other more expensive headsets don't. By the time you've bought the (absolutely necessary) "Elite Head Strap" with battery, a "Link Cable" for connecting to your PC, rechargeable batteries for your controllers, and a carrying case, you've spent very nearly the same amount of money as you would on something like the Valve Index (a higher end VR headset). That said, you need a high powered Windows PC to operate most other VR headsets, whereas the Quest 3 can be used right out of the box. I'll say this, if it was $50-$100 less, I'd call it a no-brainer, but as it stands, you'll need to weigh the pros and cons for yourself.

VR is getting better and better with every passing year. Meadows at the forefront of this as they continue to lighten the weight of the goggles and increase its power. The clarity in the videos are so good that I forgot about the gaming aspect to VR. I use it primarily for entertainment. The gaming suffers a bit with graphics if you don’t have it connected to a PC. I’m a graphic snob so it’s hard for me to play simple games but all in all this is a a great headset and the price isn’t bad for what you are getting. The battery can always be better, but compared to other standalone headsets I’ve purchased it’s not bad.

If you have upgraded from Quest 1 to Quest 2. You know it was night and day. Quest 2 in simple terms is a true successor of Quest 1. Where everything improved from Quest 1 in leaps and bonds. Well, Quest 3 on the surface feels more of a Quest 2.5 but with so, so much potential to be a true successor of Quest 2. All it needs is a few good mix reality games, and a few patches from Meta! The hardware is decent enough. The software already shown a flash of brilliance of what's to come. Pros: - More clear and brighter than Quest 2. (Finally at the point it rivals my bottom of the line duo PC monitors)   - Bigger Field of View than Quest 2. (You can google up the details it's noticeable not game changing to me) - Graphics card is suppose to be 2 times the power of Quest 2. (Mostly future proof here) - Good enough Mix Reality pass through. (Played the free mix reality game First Encounter the Headset came with and it below my mind. I can't wait to show this to everyone I know. I suspect for someone like my wife who is not into Virtual Reality, she might actually enjoy the Mix Reality games.) - Wide selection of IPD adjustment instead of 3 size fits all for Quest 2. - Able to adjust the lens closer or further away from your eyes without having to add an additional attachment like Quest 2. (If you want immersion you can push the lens super close to your eyes. If your wearing glasses simply adjust it further from the eyes without removing the gasket like you need to with Quest 2!) Neutral - Headset suppose to be lighter and more comfortable. It's defiantly lighter but I personal find the Gasket shape is a bit too narrow for my face, I do have a above average size face but not the BIGGEST by any means. I have to hard press the headset into my face in order to flat out Gasket. Unlike Quest 2 which fits like a glove. By the way I'm using the elite strap so it's not because I'm using the cheap default strap. (Personally I look forward to the 3rd party accessories from Kiwi. I had great experience with them in the past with Quest 2 so really hope they'll pull through. Con - Mix Reality is good enough but it's no way as clear as the Influencers hyped it to be nor looks like the Meta ads you been seeing! If you do not have perfect lighting condition it's going to be a bit grainy to very grainy. (We are talking about bunch of LED lights turning your room into bright sunny day then it won't be grainy) Now even if you have perfect lighting condition it's not going to be how things look like in the ads as the imagines are far from being sharp, it's just acceptable. (Fyi When mix reality is recorded it always appears to be more clear so don't be fooled!) - Default strap.. Just like Quest 2 the strap that come with it's a joke. Factor in the head strap cost when you purchase the headset. Now as someone who workout with Quest 2 on a daily basis, and runs a small VR youtube channel  upgrade from Quest 2 to Quest 3 is a no brainer. But to the average consumer here are my thoughts to your important questions: If you DO NOT own a headset should you buy Quest 2 or Quest 3? Answer:  Quest 3 without a doubt. The quality of life alone are worth the extra $. If you own a Quest 2 should you upgrade? Answer: If money not much of a concern then go for it. If $ is a concern than might want to wait a bit for the software to catch up before pulling the trigger. Also Pico 5 is rumored to come out in early 2024 I suspect they'd want to one up Meta and Quest 3. Is there going to be sale Black Friday/ New Year? Answer: I don't know for certain but Quest 2 did get a discount until Quest 3 about to come out so I highly doubt there are going to be monetary discount. Maybe if the sales are really below target Meta might throw in an extra game or 2? I highly doubt it's going to be like the Quest Pro because they wayyyy overpriced that thing. Anyhow I hope this review is helpful, and help you see through all the hypeeee from all the influencers who received a FREE headset. If you got more questions just ask, cheers.

The Meta Quest 3 is undoubtedly cool, and it represents a significant step forward in the world of virtual reality vs. the previous models. The increased resolution over previous VR headsets is notable, and that's progress, but it's still very early in the category life cycle . As of now, it still feels somewhat like a gimmick rather than a game-changer for most use cases. I recently had the opportunity to watch the MLB playoffs through the MLB app, and it was an exciting experience. The immersive environment created by the Meta Quest 3 was cool, but the resolution left something to be desired. The visuals were still a bit pixelated, and in all honesty, it wasn't significantly more immersive than watching the game in my home theater. This raises questions about the practicality of VR for mainstream media consumption. As much as I love gaming, my primary envisioned use case for the Meta Quest 3 is watching movies on the go, such as during plane rides or in hotel rooms. However, the user experience for entering passwords on the device, particularly with a pop-up virtual keyboard, can be an exercise in frustration. It's a clear pain point that needs to be addressed in future iterations of the device to make it more user-friendly for everyday tasks like streaming content. Once logged in, it's disappointing that downloading movies for offline consumption is not as easy as a tablet or phone. That's a big miss. Gaming on the Meta Quest 3 is where it truly shines. The immersive experiences it offers, such as playing Zombieland, are heart-pounding and adrenaline-pumping. However, it's important to note that the image quality doesn't match up to high-end PC gaming. It feels like you're inside an immersive 64-bit game from the 90s, which is super cool but might not satisfy gamers looking for the highest visual fidelity. In conclusion, the Meta Quest 3 is an impressive device with great potential. It's making strides in VR technology, and its gaming capabilities are undeniably thrilling. However, for more everyday tasks like media consumption and user interaction, there are still some hurdles to overcome. While it's a fantastic leap forward, it's not without its limitations, and potential buyers should consider their use cases carefully before making the investment.

Overall, lives up to all the hype. The pancake lenses are a tremendous improvement over previous generations with a huge sweet spot, feeling very natural to just look around in vr and forget you're wearing a headset. The onboard graphics work as well as you hope they do, and it pushes games quite well, which makes it easy to let a friend pick up and play with no real setup. Things I don't like about it; the head strap is bad, and for the price point you would expect something less painful. The face shield isn't the best, but not the worst. There are good third party options available already though, many of them very affordable. Overall very happy with the quest 3 after ~2 months of owning it.

Bought this to replace my original quest and have played a few of my original quest games and the new asgards wrath 2. So far ive been blown away by the pancake lenses, slightly larger fov and refresh rate as well as the passthrough which is good but not crystal clear and varies based on the lighting conditions of the room you’re in. The headset is comfortable as the weight is less front heavy and the strab is easy to adjust. The controllers are much improved over the original quest and the boundary system is much improved and easily adjustable. The only downside is the lack of upgrades to take advantage of the graphics that can be enhanced new chip of the quest 3 for older titles and the very subpar battery life which gives avout 1-2 hours of moderate gaming.

The Meta Quest 3 is AMAZING!! The graphics are super clear, and the mixed reality is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. It’s crazy how you can see your room and then just jump into a game like you’re actually there. The headset is super comfortable, and it doesn’t feel heavy even after playing for hours. There’s plenty of space with the 128GB, and the games load really fast. I love that it’s wireless, so I don’t have to worry about tripping over cords. Overall, this is the best VR headset, and I can’t stop playing it. If you love gaming, you NEED this!!

The Oculus Rift 3 (Meta Quest 3) is an excellent VR headset, offering sharp visuals, smooth performance, and impressive mixed-reality features like full-color passthrough. It’s comfortable to wear, even with glasses, and the controllers feel intuitive. While the battery life could be better, the overall experience is seamless and worth the upgrade if you’re coming from an older model. Great for gaming and exploring the potential of mixed reality!
