Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you are only interested in PCVR save yourself a little money and get the 128GB model, but if you are looking to see what standalone VR can be like, the quest 3 is the new kid on the block, and has all its bases covered, good enough pass through cameras to actually navigate a room and understand what you are looking at. (Better lighting better pass through experience) More power than previous headsets including the Pro, released less than a year ago. Depth sensor that helps with setting up playspace and makes the pass through experience even better as you actually have a sense of distance unlike some headsets flat passthrough. Included strap is still bad, less bad than the quest 2 but still bad. And battery life is just shy of 2hours on average. It’s also more power hungry, so you will want a higher output battery pack than you used with the quest 2. Something with PD 3 that can output better than 18 watts is the way to go if you want to meaningfully extend your battery life. New controllers are great, no more rings, but the pro controllers would be better with their self tracking. Pancake lenses make a world of difference, I’ll be using this over my other headsets unless valves deckard comes out with the same kind of lenses and similar or better screens. Might jump ship for that. But this exists now, and that’s an unannounced unconfirmed datamined pipe dream.

Ive really enjoyed the quest 3. This was my first own virtual reality headset, and it really met all my expectations. I dabbled with the play station vr 1 before but with all the wires and set up, it was a little mehh. With this headset you dont need a tv or any wires to play. Theres also so many games that you can download from the meta store that will keep you entertained for hours. I ended up getting the 512gb version just to make sure i can download a lot of games, honestly i think i wouldve been good with the 128gb version. One thing id say is to purchase a 3rd Party headstrap with a battery. In my use of the headset, i notice it dies within 2 hours of gaming. Overall this was a great purchase and ill be enjoying it for years to come.

I came from the Quest 2 and after owning it for a few weeks, it suffered the fate of collecting dust for months on emd between usage. The Quest 3 is a massive improvement and game changer. The passrheough has enabled me to use it daily with out fail, and the improved lens and resolution make content clear and crisp. I say almost there, because the quality of the passthrough just needs a tiny bit better resolution and clarity. With that said it is still clear enough to read my phone screen, wash the dishes, and overall navigate my surroundings! A must have if its your first VR headset!

I am disabled veteran who is very much into VR/AR/MR scene. This headset is definitely the best of them all yet in the short description. Itdoes everything better, for the lower price than Q2 Pro version. I could only point out two flaws in its design. No upper area dedicated tracking cameras (why oh why Meta?). You wouldn't think it is trivial matter to this space magic, but look at the games like The Thrill of Fight and notice such epic titles have no pure hand tracking in it. Why? That's due tothe fact that Q3 cameras are designed (at least at currecnt update) for controller tracking algorithms and not for hand tracking to save costs. If they added upper part cameras like on quest 2this would of probably had been the first true hands only vr headset in history with everything already going for it besides the flaw No.2 that hits it at 1 star. - The battery life on Quest 3 is really bad due to how much energy is required for those amazing graphics and amazing new features. The internal batter of Q3 at most will last you about an hour and half and about the same length with highly overpriced Meta elite strap, at about the same length as intense gaming on Quest 2 with no external battery. The best solution for this is unfortunately have multiple external swappable batteries or something like Bobovr headset that can swap external batteries on the fly.

Top tier! Works wonderfull. Only draw back is battery life. Seems like an on going issue with all models.

Definitely bump up from the Quest 2! I recommend the 512GB version over the 128GB version. Or maybe just wait for the supposed upcoming Quest3 Lite (or cheaper model), and get a 256GB version of that. Be warned that the quest 3 burns through battery life noticeably quicker than Quest 2. About 1hr 30min, maybe 1hr 45min. I wear a sports belt back that holds phones when running (ahem - a 'fanny back'? lol) - and I have a $20 external lithium battery in there, with cable going up my shirt to the headset. That gets me another 1.5hrs of playtime!

I recently purchased a VR headset for my son at Best Buy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! From the moment I walked into the store, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming staff eager to help. The selection was impressive, featuring the latest models and accessories. The associate who assisted me was incredibly knowledgeable about the products, patiently answering all my questions and helping me choose the perfect headset for my son’s needs. They even offered great insights on the best games and additional gear to enhance the VR experience. The checkout process was seamless, and I appreciated how the staff ensured I understood the return policy and warranty details. Once I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the setup was straightforward, and my son was over the moon with excitement! Best Buy truly excels in customer service and product quality. I highly recommend this store for anyone looking to purchase electronics. My son’s joy and enthusiasm for his new VR headset are a testament to the excellent advice and service I received. Thank you, Best Buy.

Huge game changer from the psvr the only limit is how small of an environment you're in, and not having a charger for double AA batteries but they do last a pretty long time. Resolution is and graphics are very sharp.

The games are incredibly immersive and quite fun, I’d definitely recommend this product to anyone who enjoys gaming. The only thing I don’t like about this is that the battery lasts about 2 hours before needing to charge. Would recommend getting a long charging cable or external battery pack. All in all though, great product, 10/10 would recommend.

Pass through mode is night and day different from Quest 2. Graphics and processing are way better. Very happy with this unit.

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

This is a must buy item if you are looking to have fun! I recently bought the Quest 3 as an upgrade from my Quest 2 and I don't regret it. The upgrade in the passthrough, processing power, lenses, and the overall headset itself is amazing. The headset is super lightweight and is perfect for long play sessions without discomfort. The lenses are very clear and the games run awesome compared to the Quest 2. The lenses even have a custom IPD adjustment to find the right fot for your eyes! The controllers feel amazing aswell since they fot your hands perfectly and they are very light like the headset. If you are buying this as a gift for someone or even yourself, I totally recommend it!!

I love it aside from the small issue of the short battery life, its great!!!

Over all the best vr that you dont need a computer to run on. The graphics are way better that the 3s. It runs smooth for the most part but if u try to download to menny game while playing it will crash. Ive also had problems with it not loading up games property and had to reset it. Its also way mor comfortable stock than the 3s. its way more compact and fits nicely however id still recommend you buy a 3ed party strap and external battry pack because the quest brand one is not comfortable and it only gives you like a hour extra play time. Overall if u have the money its way better that the 3s and if u have rhe money to spend on it youll love it

Always a very pleasant experience at Best Buy! Their people are always on point very helpful ready to assist. Had the Quest 3 in-stock Regular VR headset user here recently upgraded from the Quest 2 to Queat 3 and I am so glad i did! Played the old one until it was falling apart lol. The graphics, features definitely better. Way more user friendly and one of the best parts for me the headset has more ways to adjust for comfort and is lighter weight.

I had been debating for a long time on upgrading from my Quest 2 and I am so happy I did. Overall a much more enjoyable experience. The controller feedback is better, the screens are better, the battery is better. Overall I am very pleased with my upgrade.

I had the first Meta quest and I thought this was the best advice and then I got this one and I was like oh my God I am in a different world and I would highly recommend this

I first started playing VR when the original PlayStation VR launched, and while it was exciting at the time, the experience was far from perfect. Fast forward to today, and Meta has completely transformed the VR landscape. With incredible performance, outstanding quality, and immersive fun, Meta has set the standard for what virtual reality should be.

I have owned an enjoyed every iteration of the quest lineup. I have owned the 3 for over a year now, and it continually improves with each update. It is a dream come true for this 34 year old gamer kid who hardly has time to use it. From reading my study material, doing actual reports for my career as a firefighter/emt, to using actual simulators that pertain to my job. Playing games like golf +, dig vr, onward, and tactical assault VR have brought me countless hours of joy. Or to be able to simply sit back at work and watch a documentary on down time. It is a joyful machine of the future, absolutely insane to believe these exist in my lifetime.

I own quest 2, quest pro, and now quest 3, if you have the quest 2 this is hands down a no brainer, upgrade in every way. As far as coming from a quest pro the upgrades ae incremental at best but the added resolution and sound quality are a plus. The passthrough isnt as great as some say but its definitely better than all predecessors. The quest pro is more vivid with more color accuracy but its not a deal breaker, there is no face tracking or eye tracking here but for the cost its not a deal breaker either. At the price point this this is the best headset you can buy but I recommend going for the higher storage option 512gb as textures and game sizes are set to increase soon.
