    Ill start by saying I was skeptical that I would like VR. I have a pretty high standard for graphics and games, and want sure that the Quest 3 could provide a decent experience. BOY, WAS I WRONG! The Quest 3 provides an amazing experience. You are really in the action, and you move around way more than I expected. I've tried several games, mostly first person shooters, and they can really get your blood pumping. You forget you're playing a game and really get the feeling that you're there, being shot at. I've also dabbled with casino/poker games. The games are great, sometimes the people you're playing with aren't. Be ready for a bunch of kids that know nothing about poker. I recently subscribed, yes its a subscription, to Supernatural. It's a work out app. I thought, I'll do the free 7 day trial and see that this isn't going to do anything. Again, wrong. This app kicks your butt and you are sweating buckets by the end. If you get the Quest 3, you won't be disappointed. Definitely get an aftermarket head strap because the one it comes with is garbage. I also picked up controller covers with straps, another must. Waiting on an aftermarket face cover thing that is easier to wash/clean as the workouts are soaking the one it comes with. Overall, very impressed and see myself using this device quite a lot.

    I recently purchased the Meta Quest 3 Breakthrough Mixed Reality headset with 512GB storage, and it has exceeded all my expectations. The setup was straightforward, and the white color looks sleek and modern. Performance-wise, the Meta Quest 3 is a powerhouse. The mixed reality experience is incredibly immersive, with clear visuals and smooth performance. The additional storage is a huge plus, allowing me to download and store plenty of apps and games without worrying about running out of space. The build quality is excellent, and it feels comfortable to wear for extended periods. The controllers are intuitive and responsive, making gameplay and interactions feel natural and engaging. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and experience it delivers are well worth it. Highly recommend to anyone looking to dive into the world of mixed reality!

    Many accessories and upgrades (carrying case, pro headband, etc) are WAY more expensive than they should be from the Meta store. Just find their equivalents and you’ll get a good product for cheaper. I also think it’s ridiculous that you need to spend $150 extra to double the storage space. $500 is already a lot, and only getting 512 GB out of that is annoying, especially when there’s no external hard drive. So keep that in mind - you can not add more storage via an SD card. That being said, this thing is incredible. It's significantly lighter and less awkward than Quest 2. The quality is also better, and I like the direction they went with the fine-tuning. The controllers don’t have the plastic halo anymore, which makes them less clunky, and I appreciate that. The battery life is ~3 hours for me, depending on the type of games you’re playing, Th Overall, I love this thing and am happy I got it. TLDR: It is an excellent console with overpriced accessories, and it is worth investing in a better cord. 100% enjoyable for the whole family. I highly recommend in comparison to Quest 2 (it works well as a cheaper option, but you’ll get more fatigued quicker on the old one, and it takes longer to charge).

    The headset works great as advertised, and is probably the best for the money. However, limitations and common problems that typically plague VR headsets are readily apparent here. Wearing it hurts after a while, and the exercise apps/games really wear out your neck with the weight of the device. Battery life is disappointing, but enough to watch a movie. Any longer is painful to wear anyway. Looking forward to improvements in the future.

    Best vr solution on the market. That doesnt mean there arent flaws. You have to set it up with a Facebook account, which creates all kinds of problems for littles playing. Also, maybe you dont want meta jamming their social solutions down your throat. This also means youre tethered to their marketplace. Expect to need to buy the alternate headstrap. The factory solution is really hard to get set up, and tends to be uncomfortable to wear for more than 30 minutes. For most folks, its going to really impact your impression negatively. Just plan to upgrade the strap, and you wont be disappointed if the out of the box setup isnt to your liking. Finally, the battery kind of sucks. 1-2 hours is the real world max for this thing, and it doesnt charge quickly. So, youre really left using vr in short bursts or plugging in (which defeats the whole purpose of the quest). That all makes it sound like the device is not very good. If one of these things is a deal breaker for you, then its not a good solution for you. Its certainly a less well rounded offering than the original quest or the quest 2. Most of the problems like battery and headset can be mitigated or eliminated with an extra addon purchase. So, that makes some of the issues a bit more serviceable. That said, the actual device is Excellent. I upgraded from a Quest, but ive also used the Quest 2. The realism and processing power of this thing is seriously impressive. There's also options for folks who have glasses to make sure there is clearance between your lenses and the quest's. The AR stuff is in its infancy, but what is there is really cool. All in all, the software and hardware teams for the Q3 should do a victory lap. The folks in charge of ergonomics and overall utilization experience, should look to the devices predecessors for inspiration. Still, its a really good device, and it feels like a solid step in the right direction for vr.

    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!

    I bought the meta quest 3 this year because I’m too broke for an Apple Vision Pro and honestly I’m impressed. All in all I give this an 8.3/10 Pros: -solid graphics -good tracking -mixed reality is really cool -many other small things Cons: -can get hot on the face -I personally feel some eye strain after a while -still pricey for the capabilities currently -battery isn’t great

    Really good for the price, passthrough is good enough for most things, performance and visuals in games are great for a standalone device. I usually play PCVR games, and the visuals on native Quest 3 games are getting really good compared to their PC counterparts. In some parts it's not all there yet, and games still do look better on PC, but the bridge is closing.

    Great VR Experience

    The Meta Quest is a great VR exerience. - With having access to a library of free games and many favorites like Beat Saber, Meta has a amount of fun to be had in whatever way you want to play. With its wireless accessibility it is convenient to use and store. - unlike the PS5 VR (which I own) it is not tethered to a wire. This means you have to be mindful where you play, but it also means that you can have an immersive experience. The wire, though not a horrible feature, can be a bother. The head latching could be more secure, but with the ability to buy other options, I am sure that anyone can find a way for it to suit their needs. - My daughter found herself having to adjust it reguraly as she played to make sure it did not slide down. I did not have this issues, but I am sure younger ones may have a similar issue. As mentioned prior, you can purchase an alternate band to suit your needs. Overall, I am happy with the perchase. It is a hit in the wallet, but its a very fun and worth the time if you have the extra change.

    Wow. This is the most amazing VR headset I have used. I was mostly interested in buying the Meta Quest 3 for mixed reality and I am completely blown away. Mixed reality is done so well and it is a huge upgrade from the Quest 2. The controllers are much more comfortable than before. The 512GB option is especially useful if you plan on having a lot of games.

    Definitely worth the upgrade if you love playing the quest 2. I am blown away by how incredible everything looks and how fun it is to play games in mixed reality. Also, I always had a little trouble with being able to see clearly if the quest 2 didn't sit in exactly one certain position but that is completely gone in the quest 3. It is so much more comfortable and I can see so much more clearly no matter how I adjust it on my face. I even bought prescription lenses ahead of time because I didn't want to have the same issue and now that I am using the 3 I can see clearly even without adding the rx lenses I bought. I also underestimated how enjoyable mixed reality would be. This alone makes the upgrade worth it. I bought a halo strap and this in addition to it seeming like I have a wider field of view, and it being more comfortable, makes it easy to play for hours without getting a headache or feeling dizzy. If you have never owned a VR headset or played one this is the one you need to buy and if you have the quest 2 you won't regret upgrading!
