My son hot this for his Birthday he loves it it is a absolute must have for all ages

Live it! Highly recommend what a wonderful purchase

Excellent, fun and lots of fun. The 4k screen and the comfort on the eyes is incredible.

Love the Quest! Even younger kids can handle some of the MVR stuff. Only downside was the straps but I replaced those with a NordQuest VR Comfort Strap. Very comfortable now.

This VR is amazing. Best game experience by far. All the games I have tried have been fantastic.

My kids absolutely love this! So far the headband seems strong but we will probably upgrade that soon.

My son loves the upgrade from his Quest 2. He loves the extra storage and the upgrades.

This is amazing!! I upgraded from the 2 and it is a night and day difference. The new lenses are worth it.

Pretty good. The stock head strap can be a little uncomfortable after long periods. Using the device takes a bit for your brain to adjust. The camera takes clear photos but when viewing what’s in front of you live it does look more blurry than expected.

Absolutely love it may wife and I are having so much fun with it

1st VR I bought, works great, if you are going to hook up to your PC, might need a Beefy Rig for better performance playing Steam VR games.

Next gen! Really is the next level so many good games too!

Its been an entertaining experience in VR so id say that the money spent wasent bad.

Amazing VR device!! This thing beats the psvr to me because it doesn’t have wires.

Couldn’t be happier with our Meta Quest! I use it daily!

Purchased the meta quest 3 and I have never experienced VR, Mind Blowing!!

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT The Meta Quest 3 is the first AR/VR headset I owned, and as someone who has always been a bit skeptical of VR, I have to say I have been more than impressed with the Meta Quest 3. Described as a Mixed Reality VR Headset, the Meta Quest 3 does a bit of everything. It is a PC, a gaming console, a VR headset, an augmented reality headset, a social networking device, and more. The Meta Quest 3 is a bit of a jack of all trades device, and if you are at all curious about VR or AR, it is definitely worth your time and investment, as it does it all so well, and is really a ton of value for the money. The fact that it comes bundled with a genuinely must-play game (VR or otherwise) in Batman Arkham Shadow, only makes the product even better. Highly recommended. SET-UP Setting-up the Meta Quest 3 is a bit of effort if you don’t already have a previous Meta Quest or aren’t already in the Meta ecosystem. You have to set-up your account, download the Meta Horizon app, and then configure your profile. The actual headset itself is easy to set-up for your face shape. All of the straps are easily adjustable by hand while it is on your head (vertical and horizontal tightness), and the headset comes with a built-in spacer for those with glasses. I particularly like that the spacer is included as a device feature with 4 levels of spacing, which makes it easy to adjust for your glasses and face type. It took a bit of playing around, but now it is easy to take on/off with minimal adjustment. Once on, you can also adjust the distance of the lenses to match your eye spacing, and once complete, you're good to go. Despite wearing my glasses in the headset at all times, I quickly got comfortable with it, although I do think if you can wear contact lenses you should, as you can still feel the extra pressure on your face from the glasses and lenses. On the software side, once you have your account configured, you can link other accounts as needed, and then it is basically a PC with a lot of native software for AR & VR. You can shop for games & apps in the built-in store, download VR worlds for interacting with others, or just browse the internet like you would with a normal PC. The included controllers make it very easy and natural to navigate, move screens around, and otherwise get around the virtual environment. If you want, you can also use your hands as controllers, with specific actions like pinching which can allow you to interact with the environment. Personally, I found the controllers to be more natural and faster to use, but having a controller-less option is also nice, especially if using the Quest 3 on the go. Overall, it takes a bit of headset on/off time, account set-ups, agreements, login screens, etc., to get it all set-up, but once up and moving, you shouldn’t need to worry about much, and the built-in tutorials work really well for taking you through everything, even for a novice like me. MIXED REALITY The first thing you will experience with the headset is the augmented or mixed reality features, which are in many ways the most impressive of the many features the headset offers. The passthrough cameras on the headset are quite good, although still distinctly cameras. You get color, decent resolution, and can make out text on things like your phone when using the headset. You won’t be fooled into thinking that you aren’t wearing a headset just by the vision quality alone, it is still very clearly a camera feed, and in lower-light situations it is still easy to tell it is passing a video stream. However, given that it at least makes the headset usable in the “real world” without needing to take it off is a big win. What is also nice is that you can always go back into the mixed reality mode by tapping the headset twice on the side, so even when in VR or a game, you can quickly get back to the mixed reality mode and see your surroundings in seconds. Once in mixed reality though, there are a number of apps and features you can take advantage of. In my time with the headset so far, I have played a few AR games, and browsed the internet like I would on my PC. From the PC perspective, it works really well as you can easily open multiple windows, and set-up your desktop in the mixed reality mode so it is like your own personal workstation. I don’t think I could personally ever see myself using this for work, as it feels more complicated than what I need, but for casual browsing/multitasking it works well. The gaming side was where things really opened up for me. The First Encounters game that comes with the headset was amazing in how it mapped my room and then seamlessly made a shooting gallery game using my room as the arena. Even beyond gaming, you can use the headset to do things like learn piano using a virtual or a real keyboard, with virtual directions. It is honestly a bit amazing this is where the technology is at, and I was very impressed. VIRTUAL REALITY On the VR side, with the double tap of the headset, you can go into the VR mode. You always have to create a room boundary, where the headset can automatically map your room and identify areas where you can or cannot go. Then, if you approach the boundary, a virtual barrier appears in your apps to warn you, and if you go past it then it will take you back into the mixed reality mode. If you want, you can also draw manual boundaries, or if you are stationary in a seat, you can tell it that. It takes only a few seconds and works extremely well, and I have had no issues with it failing to map my room or misidentify where I cannot go. Once in the VR space, you can play games (more on that below), explore virtual social worlds, watch VR youtube videos, use VR apps, and more. The resolution on the headset is great, and given the Snapdragon XR2 Gen2 processor, you can run most VR apps you would expect to run on a PC VR headset without issue. You can even use the Meta Quest 3 with your PC wired or wirelessly if you want, although I personally have not been able to test this yet. One of my personal favorite features is casting, where I can cast the VR display to my phone, so I can watch or others can watch what the person in VR is doing. If I mirror my phone to my TV, then we can have it up on the TV while someone is using the headset, which makes the whole VR experience, which is typically more solo, a group endeavor and in my opinion a lot more fun. GAMING This to me, is still where the headset is at its absolute best. Meta Quest 3 has a ton of games and a lot of developers building for it, and many of the games are excellent. I played two quite a lot with it in my time so far; Walkabout Mini Golf and Batman Arkham Shadow. Walkabout Mini Golf looks incredible and runs very smooth, giving you a bit of an introductory VR game that isn’t too disorienting, feels natural to play, and is a fun party game to play. Batman Arkham Shadow on the other hand is another level. I have played every Batman Arkham game, and I was shocked by how much this one felt like it belonged right with the others. It doesn’t feel like a VR game for the sake of being a VR game, but a strong video game that happens to work really well in VR. That being said, you can go full VR experience if you want, or dial it back if you are new. I personally dove in the deep-end and did the “immersive” mode, which allows you to freely move around the environment, jump, glide, grapple, fight, and otherwise do anything Batman would do. It took a bit of time to get my VR sealegs, but after a bit, I quickly adjusted and was playing the game without any issues. Honestly, while I don’t have a ton of benchmarks for VR games, I do have a lot of gaming experience, and if Batman Arkham Shadow is anything to go by, VR gaming has a bright future ahead of it. The immersion is next level, and it runs super smooth throughout on the Quest 3 while still somehow looking great. It really is a demo for what the Quest 3 can do, and works extremely well at it. It is a must play, and honestly should be your first stop after getting the headset. SOCIAL NETWORKING I admittedly didn’t use these features a ton, but I did play around with the horizon worlds and virtual environments a few folks had set-up, and they were very impressive. Personally, I don’t know many people with VR headsets, and so I don’t know how much i would use a lot of these features, but if you do have other friends with VR, they can be very cool ways to feel like you are closer with folks who aren’t actually in the room with you. It still feels a bit niche to me, compared to the other apps & features of the headset, but could be a main feature for a lot of folks who like virtual networking. THE REST & WRAP-UP Battery life on the headset is okay, but could definitely be better. I get about 1.5 - 2 hours depending on what I am doing, but not much more. The headset stays silent, and if you are playing any media, the built-in speakers do an above average job of placing you in virtual worlds. I still would recommend using your own earbuds or headphones to really immerse yourself, but if you just want to use the headset and go, you really don’t need anything else. And I think that is the biggest winner for this in my book, it just works, and does it all on its own. You get everything in the box you need to use the device, no extra cords, controllers, computer, battery, etc., it just is an end-to-end piece of tech, and does it all really well. You can tell Meta has put a lot of money and time into the product, and it feels like it. It is arguably the most polished piece of tech I have used in a long time, and for how much it is trying to do, that is saying a lot. Mixed reality and VR may not be for everyone, but if it is for you, this one is very much worth a look.

It was excellent and good battery and good storage

Definitely worth the pricr when you consider the lenses have a value of over 1,000$. It works great, doesnt heat up too easily. But the strap can be a learning curve for anyone new to using VR.

The Meta Quest 3 512 GB is great! Awesome mixed reality experience.
