    Excellent VR Headset, With a Few Issues

    I've loved the Quest 3 as far as its library of VR titles goes; there's plenty of variety and the quality of the visuals themselves is outstanding. I bought the Silicone Facial Interface but actually went back to the default one as the cloth feels better to me personally; I plan to switch them out though when I share the headset with company as the silicone cleans more easily. Beyond this there are a couple of issues I feel are worth mentioning. First, as many other users online have already noted, the Passthrough feature seems to be "mileage varies"; even with what I consider good lighting it tends to be grainy, albeit still good. Reading text off of a TV, PC, or phone may require bringing yourself up close to it. In short, it's functional but nowhere nearly as crystal clear as Meta's demo videos showed. The next issue is with the headset's design as far as interfacing with either the Elite Strap With Battery or the Link Cable. I say "either" because you're going to have unplug the Elite Strap With Battery anytime you want to use the Link Cable to play PCVR titles, as there's only a single port. I can't believe this is a mere oversight (even though presumably your Quest 3 draws power from the PC when using the Link Cable); it's enough of an annoyance to mention here. Lastly, for anyone wanting to use their Quest 3 wirelessly with PC to expand their available library to include games such as Half-Life: Alyx, be aware that D-Link's Air Bridge may or may not work for you, even if your PC meets all the criteria. For some folks demoing the Air Bridge on Youtube it seems to work flawlessly and easily, but for me it simply refused to connect despite being detected by both the PC and the headset. I had to return three of them before finally giving up after exhausting every troubleshooting idea I could find. Since then I've tried the Virtual Desktop app (which costs a fraction of the price) and had much greater success. Overall the Quest 3 is a very good VR headset though, and the advantages of its being wireless and self-contained also can't be overstated. I definitely recommend getting the 512GB model over the 128GB because I've already filled almost 100GB of its storage already with less than a dozen games.

    Was never too interested in VR but after heard the really good reviews of Batman: Arkham Shadow I decided to give it a try. The game is an absolute blast and as for the rest of the system, its actually pretty great. The recent updates made it a little more power and I'm actually excited about the future of VR.

    Worth the upgrade, but needs a little software

    I have a meta quest 2 and I love being able to see in color around you in or out of the menu's. The big drawback is that the user interface locks down the menu size where you used to be able to make it as big or little as you want. This is fixed if you download an app that allows it, but it was really nice just to have custom windows by default. I wish there were at least demos of the mixed reality games other than the into game they have. It is just too simple. I remember the htc vive when it first came out was amazing and while this is a really good cost to value ratio software development is where this could really shine. The manual opd adjustment is a huge leap forward from the last generation and I almost cant wear the old headset. Overall I really like the new version and cant wait for the new games like the lego mixed reality to come out soon.

    The pancake lenses are far superior to the quest 2/3s. It solves all of the blurry focus issues i always had that required constantly adjusting. Putting these on feels more like putting on goggles rather than a finicky headset.

    Great Upgrade from Quest 2 and Best Value for PCVR

    I purchased this as an upgrade. I also own an original Rift as well as the Quest 2 and I must say the improvements the lenses make are very impressive. Even more so the color pass-through is leaps beyond the 2's grainy black and white. I find myself thoroughly enjoying mixed reality games and watching videos while still seeing my environment around me. I also use it to play VR titles on my PC, and with all the other options out there with higher resolution, oled panels, etc it's impossible to beat the value of the Quest 3. I am quite happy with my purchase and truly enjoying the upgraded experience from my previous models.
