    The Quest 3 is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve bought in a long time. The clarity and performance feel like a huge jump forward compared to the older models. The passthrough feature is so clear that I can see my room without taking the headset off, which makes switching between real world and VR feel seamless. The 512GB storage gives me plenty of room for games and apps, and the whole thing is light and comfortable to wear. It’s become something I use for workouts, games, and even productivity apps. Just a really fun and impressive device all around.

    Definitely buy a aftermarket head strap. It will make gaming so much more comfortable. It is a bit heavy but the graphics are really good and the after market strap will help.

    My family absolutely loves playing different apps and worlds on the meta quest. From my three year old and up, there’s something for everyone to do! I just would recommend getting a different headband for it as the elastic one doesn’t stay on as well.

    I have long been a 3d and such tech aficionado and had the nvidia 3d vision way back in 1999 and then nvidia 3d vision in 2007 ish and bought PS VR in 2016 ish. nvidia 3d vision on a 3d projector was just insane. Playing older Steam games like Rainbow Six in 3d just made the gaming incredible on a 120" wall projected screen. I wanted to get into VR as well early but I got busy and also PS VR gave me a headache from the weight and moving the head around like a maniac will do that. So I avoided it after that even though it was great. Finally bought the Meta Quest 3 and it is incredible. It is obviously 3d and you get amazing depth perception and you feel like you're there like those old arcade games like Tank where you're standing and your head goes into that bowl and you look and move around standing there and shoot. However this is 100x better. Google Earth is just incredible and the best. Especially if you want to take a tour or visit your home or other places. Youtube VR is insane. Regular Youtube is also amazing. Obviously you can use it for those cheeky NSFW videos as well. The mixed reality with passthrough is just incredible you don't bump into things and you integrate the game into your room itself. That is something. We're truly nearing pinnacle of human civilization. Overall, Meta Quest 3 at $500 is the best buy. I would rate this a 9.5/10. The battery discharges super quick so I have a cable that allows charging while plugged into my gaming laptop from 2020 (nvidia gtx 2070m which does incredibly well).

    My son has had a couple Occulus 2 models. We’ve had to replace them. The Best Buy Warranty costs a little extra however every time it’s had an issue, we have no problems returning to store and exchanging his device! He definitely loves the Occulus 3 better than the 2. He waited a bit to be sure they had they bugs worked out. He’s had it a little bit now with no problems.

    I am not sure why, but I am playing this much more than I played my Quest 2. The FOV, the smoothness of the frame rates, the clarify in the lenses, all make for a much better experience. When the Q2 moved a bit on your head, you had to adjust it to get back to the sweet spot. I don't have that issue with the Q2, it's still a clear view and much more forgiving. I also don't find the head strap uncomfortable, and I am typically sensitive to things like that. It would be five stars but for a few issues- currently, the battery life isn't great. I resented to having to pay 1/3 more for the larger storage, it was an obvious cash grab, but I ended up just going all in, as it's something I am planning to use for the next 3-4 years. It was also lame how few new games made for the Q3 that were available at launch, but that's hopefully changing soon. All in all, I am very happy with it the Quest and it's ease of use- I think it's going to be a rough road for any head sets trying to steal market share over the next 2-3 years.

    I really like this VR I never have tried any before. I can download my games straight to the VR itself. Don’t need a computer. It was really cool to play zombies and have my house turned into a war zone where the windows would get boarded up and so with the doorways, it was really fun. Sometimes you get dizzy maybe a little nauseous but it just depends on how long you play very comfortable. I would definitely recommend to anyone who likes getting getting into the game and feeling immersed.

    This is the best Quest ever. I have purchased all 3 as they came out and this one out shines the other two. Bigger lenses, more control over adjustments and good Augmented Reality. I say good as it is not perfect but still a lot of fun. You see your world in color but the camera image is a little grainy but when you are playing a game you forget about it. The resolution is a lot better than the Quest 2 and some games are being updated to the new resolution and look fantastic. The head strap it comes with is still not comfortable and I have ordered the Bobovr battery strap which I did for the Quest 2 and is very comfortable.

    The hardware itself is genuinely impressive. The headset is comfortable, the visuals are sharp, tracking is solid, and setup was easy. Once you’re actually using it, the experience feels polished and fun in a way VR rarely manages to be. Brand opinions aside, the headset performs very well and has quickly become something I use regularly. The quality and overall experience exceeded my expectations, and it delivers exactly what I was hoping for from a standalone VR headset.

    My fiance and I bought two of these during a snow storm. They kept us entertained. The only issue is the battery life is not very good. You almost have to have an extra battery pack if you are wanting to play for some time. Other than that, the picture is incredible. We love to play putt putt against each other. It truly feels like we are at a real course

    My 10-year-old son was very happy to get an upgrade from the Quest 2. He likes that the Quest 3 has more storage, and the graphics are better plus its smaller and lighter. He says the passthrough has color which makes the game more fun. He like the controllers because they are easier and better to hold and make the mixed reality better to play. He likes that the headset can track his hand and the front headset is much cooler than the Quest 2. He was very happy to get the Quest 3 for Christmas and said that Meta did there thing in making Quest 3 and he is happy and enjoying his upgrade. Thank you

    Pro: The Meta Quest 3 stands out amongst its competitors as being a fully wireless VR experience without compromising performance. It even directly competes eith Apples Vision Pro with its spatial computing abilities. Cons: Passthrough camera is very grainy and low quality, would like to see an improved spatial camera and bigger battery life next iteration. Overall, would recommend to anyone wanting to get into VR but might intimidated by all the options, you wont be disappointed with the Meta Quest 3

      Wow! This warms our hart to hear.

      We know there's not much that comes close to jumping into your favorite worlds and the Metaverse is simply to big to explore by yourself so getting your family and friends involved is the key to unlocking a whole new side to things, exploring to your hearts content!

      We aim to make immersive experiences feel real, with brilliant color and rich surround sound, we are glad that our efforts haven't gone unnoticed and it gets even better when you connect your Meta Quest 3 to a PC. If you have not tried PCVR yet, you're in for a treat!

      Thanks so much for you're kind words are really appreciated, we keep innovating so you can have the experience of a lifetime!

    I bought this with high expectations. I already own a set of VR glasses that are pretty impressive, but they are not as immersive as VR goggles. After doing lots of research and reading, I splurged and bought the 512GB version. I plugged it in to charge the battery and finished reading the manual. After setting it up, which is a long process of creating accounts and configuring it for first use, and learning the controls. This process took around 45 minutes at which time the battery was almost dead when done. Back to the charger it went. After charging it again, I immediately went to the App Store and went on the search for a Live TV app. One of the key reasons for purchasing this was for live TV. I mean, you find it right on Meta's website, it says "Live TV". Well forget it. No live TV. I installed a couple other apps for video content, VR and others. I have a PLEX server and wanted to use it. No PLEX App either. I had to purchase a 3rd party app to access my PLEX server. This app left a little to be desired. I did eventually get it to connect, and after watching about 35 minutes of video, I need to recharge it again. I will try more tomorrow I thought. After recharging yet again, I decided to go at it again before going to bed. Disappointment ofter disappointment. I plugged it into the charger and went to bed. In the morning, I tried out some impressive deep immersive apps that show off the Meta's capabilities. I even tried out some games. Very impressive graphics and performance. But I need to charge it again after an hour. Also, the Meta is very heavy. My cheek bones were in pain and I was getting a headache. I noticed that an hour max was my limit before having to take it off due to discomfort. All in all, the Meta is I guess cool. The website is misleading in all of its capabilities. No it can't do live TV. Apps I am used to are missing, lots of the apps are low quality, it is very heavy and the battery life is insanely short. I guess the battery life is not so bad since I can't wear it more than 60 minutes. Needless to say I took it back. For that much money, it was just not worth it to me. 3 stars from me.

    The Meta Quest 3 is an iterative update to the previous generation. Everything is a little bit better, including the graphics, comfort, sound, etc. if I were to buy this again I would get the one with less storage. This has a lot of unnecessary space for how I use it.
