    9 out of 10 for me, the tracking is alot better than oculus 2 and the battery life is really not bad and if you get a battery pack with it then you’ve got a while to play. the gaming on it is really fun and i only play 2 games. its alot of fun especially playing with your friends and its cool how you can watch movies and some of them you can be in it and you can watch youtube while doing chores or just even working you can but i don’t recommend it. in my opinion its worth upgrading to oculus 3 the graphics and the game run alot smoother, also there are apps that help you exercise. you can play the game and make the house into your game like playing zombies but in your actual house where they break into it and stuff its pretty cool.

    Amazing, way better than the Quest 2, also the default strap for the Quest 3 is more comfortable and better than the Quest 2’s default strap.

    This is awesome. Much better than I expected and the one unexpected benefit is the ability to use a web browser and stretch it to the size of a big screen, the size of a theater and sit there and watch TV shows and movies on it. You can access any of your accounts by web browser like Netflix, Amazon prime. I bought it for the golf plus app which is really great but I tend to use it more for just watching movies

    The Quest 3, The VR Enthusiasts Next Best Upgrade.

    The Quest 3 is a substantial upgrade from the Quest 2. With a large increase to image quality, better engine to run games even faster, and an overall lighter system for great comfort, the Quest 3 is headset that’s hard to beat. I bought mine specifically to run games off of my PC from steam, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it runs games great on its own. You can only play Asgards Wrath 2 that way, and it runs great. So uncorded play is definitely a great option. The passthrough view of your environment is decent too. Overall, a great next upgrade for the VR enthusiast.

    MY QUEST 3 OPINION

    Out of all my quests vrs, this is the best one ever imagined. It is literally the future of vr. If you want to go places and play sick games, you could do it in the quest 3 for free! This is the best 400$ I've spent and I have met a lot of friends and even met in real life. The quest 3 is a great vr to connect with people that are close and long distance.

    128 is a bit small for stand alone gaming and work, still huge upgrade over quest two. The virtual monitor displays are incredibly high res, and the mixed reality applications make it worth it alone.

    Great for adults and young kids. The quality improvement from a previous Oculus is so much more. Passthrough is amazing and being not tethered anymore just made it right especially when doing multitasking. The only thing I don't like is the headstrap. It pushes down on your cheeks. Buy a Bo oVr with battery as your accessory.

    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!

    https://www.meta.com/referrals/link/Janxye. I was on the fence about VR since I had tried the Quest 2 and it gave me terrible motion sickness, but the Quest 3 has somehow fixed all the previous issues. The headstrap it comes with isn't as bad as people say it is. The battery life lasts around 2 hours of playtime which is plenty considering you are standing and moving around for 2 hours swinging at virtual monsters! I'd highly recommend Dungeons of Eternity: https://www.oculus.com/appreferrals/Janxye/6341779295861881/?utm_source=oculus&utm_location=2&utm_parent=frl&utm_medium=app_referral

    Absolutely amazing. I bought this for my kids for Christmas, and I can say for certain they are not disappointed. I played with it before Christmas to get it set up to Wi-Fi and such and I enjoyed it so much I bought one for my self. The pass through camera is pretty good quality, allowing the mixed reality components to be quite life like. Has a whole range of uses from gaming, to watching movies in your own personal cinema, to work productivity. Would highly recommend.

    I am amazed how much these have changed my life. I am stage 4 cancer and they go with me everywhere. When i get my treatments i watch movies. When i am at the hotel waiting for treatment i play games or watch immersive videos. Even if i have a stay in the hospital they are great to use when laying on my side.

    I know there's other thing like the Vive HTC and stand alone Oculus but you also have to remember those are well over a 1000 dollars. With some elbow grease you can get the Quest 3 to do and play just about anything that the other headsets do! 530$ after tax may he a lil steep but as far as consumer VR is concerned this is literally your best bang for your buck!

    Bought so my son could play vr with his friends at our house. We already owned the oculus 2. It’s about the same except it shows the room around you in color instead of black and white. And the handles are slightly different. It doesn’t hold a charge as long but charges fast.
