Hey all, mine stopped working the same day, while riding my recumbent bike it stopped responding and the headset reversed motion then shut down and sadly never to restart ever again. It was returned for a refund and I won’t purchase again until they fix it. I do not recommend purchasing until Meta fixes the problem.

Hi there DERisio, thanks for making us aware of this.
The reason the serial number doesn't match will be because the serial number on the receipt will be for the box itself rather than the headset.
Each component in the box will also have their own unique serial number, the reason being in case of one component needing replaced rather than the whole kit.
So if you still have the box we would recommend taking that with you so that they honor the replacement.
If you are still running into issues please don't hesitate to get in touch with the Meta Quest Support Team via the Meta Quest Help Center, we will be more than happy to help get this sorted out for you!

Headsets cooling fan went out after an hour of use and overheats. Headset is no longer usable. I bought this to bring on a deployment for work. Because of this I cant get it fixed or get my money back as im already deployed. Anyone who buys one of these please double check it to make sure the headset is working properly.

I would love to write a review because i actually got this product; however, this is only a recent purchase because a ring of best buy employees got my credit card information from a store that I have never visited and bought with my Best Buy CC. Do better best buy.

Meta Quest3 review

I recently tried the Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset, and it offers an exceptional wireless experience that really stands out. The visuals are incredibly sharp and vibrant, thanks to a 30% increase in resolution. With double the graphical processing power, the immersion is truly impressive. Whether I'm exploring virtual worlds or diving into intense gaming sessions, the Meta Quest 3 has become an essential part of my VR setup. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their virtual reality experience!

Hey there Tina,
We're so glad to hear the Quest 3 has become a staple in your gaming setup!
That 4K+ Infinite Display and extra processing power really do make a world of difference for immersion.
Enjoy those VR adventures!

Bought this and took it home and started trying to get it setup, immediately out of the box the left controller had a blinking sos light and I couldn't even get through the initial setup. Took it back to the store the next day and got a full refund.

Didn't even get as far as turning it on. The fitting mechanism is atrocious. To charge $500 for this is an absolute joke. I'd be embarrassed if I worked at Meta and put this out thinking this is the best we could do. Getting returned tomorrow. Wow, wow. If people accept this, they're being fleeced.

Super Impressive with a wireless VR Headset

Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
My previous VR headset is an HTC Vive Cosmos and while it's been discontinued, it was a decent headset because it didn't require Light Towers. However, it did require a physical connection to my computer for processing power. While there were wireless adapters, I couldn't make the investment at the time. Fast forward a few years later and the Meta Quest 3 steps up the game with higher resolution, better ergonomics and independent processing power.
Like the HTC Vive Cosmos, the Meta Quest 3 uses SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) tracking. It uses the headset's built-in cameras to map the surrounding environment and track its own position within that space.
Since the Quest series has entered the market, it has dominated and I believe I heard that it has 95% of the VR market share. And for good reason. Despite being a wireless device which means all the processing power and battery capacity are on board the Quest 3 headset, it's still about 100 grams lighter than the HTC Vive Cosmos. That's impressive. The Quest 3 has great resolution, decent battery life, and the focus adjustment stays solid whereas the Cosmos I had to adjust every so often. Plus Meta continues to grow their already vast media, game and application library.
In the box, you don't get much the headset is set up with no assembly required. The controllers have a pull tab on each to enable the battery. The controllers each have a triangular button that you press to unlock the battery door and each controller is powered by a single AA battery.
The headset has a velcro release to adjust the viewing height while straps in the back are adjusted to help you keep the visor to your eyes. On the left side there is a USB-C port that is used to charge the Meta Quest 3. A USB-C cable is included as well as a wall adapter that is capable of 18 Watts. The power button sits just below the USB-C port. Underneath there is a dial for moving the lenses, wireless charging contacts, and a volume rocker button. On the right side, there is an audio jack port. Inside the lens area, there is a button on either side for depth adjustment.
Like some of the modern smart sunglasses, there are speakers built into the temples and are rear firing so they are aimed towards your ears.
After setting up the Meta Quest, I set up Meta Quest Link on my desktop and was super impressed with the way I could operate my PC in the Quest 3 as a Virtual Desktop. I could watch movies, operate my PC, browse the web, all in my Quest 3 and set it up with large monitors. It was great.
I was also able to transfer movies to the storage of the Quest 3 and then pull it up as a movie file and depending on the application, it can make it look like you're in a theater watching the movie. I also downloaded some sample 3D environments like a cavern looking out into a forest and it was quite impressive. I also viewed a free documentary/immersive experience about rebuilding Notre Dame.
While all that was happening, I was downloading Batman: Arkham Shadow. I've played about a half hour of the game and I'm truly impressed. The graphics are great. The interaction is well thought out. It really demonstrates the capabilities of the Meta Quest 3. I can't wait to get back into the game.
However, there is a bit of a downside with a fully immersive game. Most of the interaction with the Quest 3 is in a Mixed Reality setting. You see your real life environment through the built in cameras and the resolution isn't crystal clear. But at least my brain can match up my movements to what I'm seeing through the Quest 3 cameras. However, when in a game like Batman: Arkham Shadow, I cannot reconcile my movements (or lack thereof) to the movements with the game. So I get a little bit of simulator sickness after 30 minutes or so.
Overall, I'm really enjoying this VR generational jump from the HTC Vive Cosmos to the Meta Quest 3. I'm looking forward to getting some of the popular games like Beat Saber and possibly Star Wars: Vader Immortal.

I got nothing! The store just inflated me. They claim that the parcel has been delivered. But I was at home on the day of delivery. And I went down 2 minutes after I received a delivery notification. I didn't get anything!!! They should ask for a signature for expensive things!
