    We enjoyed the Meta-Quest 2 and upgraded to the Meta-Quest 3 when it became available. The graphics are noticeably improved. The pass through option allowing you to switch to entire room view is also an advance. The mixed reality games are another improved option. Many good apps and you tube videos can be enjoyed with this. Would recommend adding the elite head strap as it makes use and fitting much easier.

    Every aspect is an upgraded experience from the 2. Better resolution, usable head strap, fully adjustable eye spacing, built in eyeglass spacers and thinner for a better feel. I feel the advertised 2 hour battery life is a bit of an exaggeration but easy resolved with a battery head strap or a good battery with usb c output and a cord. Excited to check out the bundled game when it’s released. Home run!

    It is an amazing product, me and my kids enjoyed the Meta Quest very much, it makes me feel that I am in the game, this is the first time that I used it, never played a game before. I am 59 years old, and makes me feel kid again. I recommend it to the people to have one of them, like I said before. It is amazing.

    This is without a doubt one of the most immersive VR experiences I have had to date. If you have a Quest at all, you owe it to yourself to play this phenomenal title. From the opening sequence, it will awe and inspire you and keep you engaged until the end. The VR effects are top notch on Quest 3. The battles are fun and controls are very responsive. Graphics have to be seen to be believed.

    I purchased this device to support increased physical activity as part of my health improvement journey. The experience has exceeded my expectations—each time I use the headset, I genuinely enjoy the workout and find myself looking forward to exercising again. I recently discovered an app focused on stretching and relaxation, which has been a valuable addition to my routine. Setup was straightforward and intuitive, allowing me to get started quickly. While some of the apps can be somewhat expensive, the overall cost is still minimal when compared to a traditional gym membership. That said, the initial purchase price is substantial—after taxes and the extended warranty, the total came to $614. However, considering the level of engagement, convenience, and variety of fitness options available, I find the investment to be worthwhile. Although I am still learning all of the features, the device is very user-friendly. I would recommend this product to anyone considering it specifically for fitness and overall wellness.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Love the newly improved pass-through and larger storage options! I really enjoyed my Quest 2 but the improved resolution, pass-through, and performance has been well worth the upgrade. Not a huge fan of the newer straps the Quest 2 and 3 use vs the original Quest though. Otherwise great product, super fun to bust out at group events for Beatsaber or Puppet Fever!

    At first i was a bit confused when my wife told me she bought a Meta Quest 3 for our son. I was confused because we already own two Quest 2’s but then i tried it out and all I can say is Wow! What an amazing piece of technology the comfort and quality far exceed the previous models the graphics and life like feeling are spectacular. Second to none. What a fantastic gift for the holidays.

    pretty good but for some reason playing with my bonnet the back of my head starts to hurt after playing for an hour or 2.pretty good graphics and also everything is perfect. way better than a 3s. so if u have the money for a 3 instead of buying a 3s the extra 100/200 dollars is worth it

    The Quest 3 is a huge improvement over the Quest 2 in nearly every way and is easily the best VR headset offering currently. The biggest thing that stood out to me is the clarity. The image is very clear, across the entire visual field, and the pixel density seems better than even the Index. No more "sweet spots" like the Quest 1 or 2. Also good news for glasses wearers: you can use the Quest 3 just fine while keeping your glasses on. You can adjust the face gasket of the Quest 3 to keep a bit of distance between your eyeglasses and the display lenses. The audio is pretty good, an improvement over the Quest 2, but nowhere near audiophile levels yet. Battery level is between 1 and 2 hours of continuous use, which is the same as most wireless VR headsets. Honestly, the only improvements this headset could use are a dedicated and official Steam VR app or something. That, and the ability to sort your library.

    Recently purchased the Meta Quest 3 after returning my AVP. It was a decision I didn’t take lightly! The clarity and potential of the AVP is remarkable, no doubt!! But for me it just was ready for my use case. I just wanted something I could throw on and GO!! AVP was like wearing a brick on my face and no 3rd party hack out there helped enough! But by then I was hooked on the tech!! So I ran over to Best Buy with my reacquired 4K and bought the MQ3 and a boat load of accessories for a fraction of the price! I’ve hardly put it down sense!! It’s lighter, easier to throw on and wear for extended amounts of time for movies and gaming! And so much easier to share with other family and friends without adding guest configurations or resetting to a different screen in those moments where you just want to say: “Hey’ Check this out!” And they put it on and are immediately right there where you left off!! Completely different scenario with AVP! Having said that, with a few tweaks hear and there, I’d own both! But if you just want to get started as quickly as possible and not break the bank - you won’t go wrong with the MQ3!!

    To start us off, the experience in getting this headset was exactly what you would hope it to be. The staff was super helpful while remaining straight to the point. The product itself is honestly mind-blowing. Growing up, I always dreamed of where videogames would end up going and the technology with the Quest 3 is a perfect example of peak gaming and movie watching experience. The batter does tend to die a bit fast but there are countless solutions for that, from a cheap fix, to more high-end solutions. 10/10 I've recommended this headset to all my friends and family, as well as recommending Best Buy as the perfect, hassle free place to purchase one. I will definitely be a returning customer for more tech.

    MQ3 is awesome tech but not sure it’s worth the price tag, $500 and it comes with a terrible strap that’s very uncomfortable difficult to use, pretty much forces you to get an elite battery strap since battery life is horrendous, at least it comes with Batman which is the best VR game ever made. Overall a steep price of entry, lets say you get a carrying case as well then you’re at about $700 and only one game with it, and decent games cost anywhere between $30-$50 range, so if you buy a few games you could easily be spending $900-$1k, most games aren’t that great compared to PS5 games, would not recommend due to steep price and games being not that great except for batman

    Q3 review

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Without PCVR : The Quest 3 compared to its counterparts has excellent visual resolution due to the Pancake lenses. However, brightness is dark compared to the PSVR 2 due to excluding OLED technology. Additionally if you wear glasses, it is a good idea to purchase prescription lenses to avoid scratching Q3 lenses. I purchased from HONSVR which has worked excellently. The Q3 default strap is a complaint I have, but I didn't have the chance to test comfort of the headset with the prescription lenses. I had issues with Q3 weight on my nose bridge due to the Q3. Some other sources recommend the Elite strap (3rd party I believe), and other products. The battery life is poor and lasts ~2-2.5 Hours on full brightness. As a result, I had to purchase a portable charger. When hooked up, the Q3 is prone to reaching high temperatures. Meta horizons and the Meta scape in general is still in its infancy, so I wasn't very impressed by the social features. But the mixed reality is amazing (FIgmenXR), and games like Asgards Wrath 2 and Beatsaber are definitely must haves. Meta's inability to include a 256 GB product is predatory due to 128 being too little, and 512 being a bit excessive. If you aren't using PCVR, then please know your Quest3 use case so you aren't over or under budgeting.

    I am thoroughly pleased with this product. The game that comes bundled with it is a delightful bonus, adding significant value to the overall package. The gameplay is immersive, and the quality of the pixel depth is truly superb. It’s a noticeable enhancement compared to its predecessor, making the gaming experience even more engaging. The ability to play my old games on this new platform is a fantastic feature. It ensures that my favorite classics are still within reach, adding a touch of nostalgia to the cutting-edge gaming experience. The color pass-through is another standout feature, providing a vibrant and lifelike visual experience that enhances every game. However, the free trial of Quest+ didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The selection of games was limited and didn’t include access to their entire library, which was a bit disappointing. While the product is a bit on the expensive side, the overall quality, performance, and features justify the price tag. In conclusion, despite a few minor drawbacks, I am very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it to any gaming enthusiast looking for a top-notch experience.

    I have always wanted VR ever since I was a kid. Now that I got my own job and saved up some money I had finally purchased it. Meta quest 3 is by far the best one I have ever used, I’ve used my friends quest 2 few years ago but this is one is way better. Play games on it, watching movies are just super fun, everything about this headset is great but for one thing. The strap and the battery, just make sure to buy a extra head strap that was has batter on it, then you will have a perfect headset
