Customer Ratings & Reviews

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).

Our son loves his VR headset. This was a great purchase that he is getting a lot of mileage out of. Only criticism is how pricey it is.

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.

Great product and smooth experience. The item works exactly as expected and feels well made. Setup was quick and easy, and delivery was fast. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable product from Best Buy.

My son kept insisting on purchasing this item for his birthday, well he finally got it & he loves it! The graphics are amazing the only down fall is the battery life. It drains fast so be ready to chatge it frequently. Other than that its a good item.

The Meta Quest 3 is an amazing VR headset with stunning visuals, smooth performance and an immersive experience. It's easy to use, powerful, and perfect for gaming, fitness and entertainment. A huge upgrade.

The Quest 3 is a huge step forward in both performance and comfort. The graphics are noticeably sharper, the mixed reality features are surprisingly smooth, and the new pancake lenses make everything look clearer with less distortion. Setup is simple, and the standalone experience is powerful enough that I rarely need to connect to a PC. The controllers feel precise and responsive, and battery life is solid for daily use. With 512GB storage, I never worry about running out of space for games and apps. Definitely the best all-in-one VR headset on the market right now!

I bought this thinking it would be a toy but I've used it for fitness, entertainment, 360 degree videos and relaxation apps. The optics are really good as well. I tried a 3s and a Meta 3, I'd recommend the 3, it was well worth the money. Only downside was the headstrap, it's not comfortable. Get an upgraded strap with a battery.

Was on the fence on whether or not VR was worth it yet. I'll always have a VR headset going forward. I use it primarily for exercise and they have a lot of great games built around that. There's also plenty of content you can do just for fun. The integration with Steam is pretty seamless as long as you have a decent computer with an ethernet connection. I also recommend getting a long charging cord as it helps with PCVR gaming, I got a 16 foot one. Watching movies/shows is also an elevated experience in VR as it tricks your brain into feeling like you're watching on a movie theatre screen. Highly recommend

This is the best purchase I have ever made. I’m over 50 years old and decided to try it for fun. I now use it for working out daily and it is awesome. It also helps me relax when I am stressed from working all day. I definitely recommend this product.

My son was so excited to receive the new Quest 3. He raved about how much better the graphics are and the overall experience is from his previous Oculus. To see the smile on his face and watch him enjoy the upgrade made it totally worth the price!

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.

It has pretty decent graphics, and is pretty comft around the head. It is mostly a really good console. The hand tracking turning on every once in a while but it is manageable

Comfortable, clear visuals and better performamce. No issues with battery life.

Using this product for the first time was simply out of this world I can attest that this product is very Addictive. I getting a second one.

Batman: Arkham Shadow on Meta Quest 3 blew me away visually. The combat, the gliding, the stealth—it really makes you feel like Batman. This is hands down one of the best uses of VR I’ve seen yet. The environments are gritty and immersive, and it pulls you right into Gotham. But be warned: you can die fast if you’re not quick with your counters or don’t use your gadgets right. The game doesn’t hold your hand. That said, once you get the rhythm, it’s insanely satisfying and physical. You’ll break a sweat. Loved the VR immersion. Just wish the difficulty curve was a little smoother early on. Still absolutely worth it if you want a real Batman experience in virtual reality.

Product works great on its own but wish it had better battery life

This headset is amazing, the passthrough technology is stunning and there are plenty of games now that take advantage of it. I've also enjoyed VR titles like Batman Arkham and Dungeons of Eternity and Walkabout Mini Golf. My only reasons for not giving 5 stars are the battery life is somewhat low (2 hours of gaming) and the included head strap is difficult to adjust properly and slightly uncomfortable. I fixed these issues by buying a 3rd party head strap and battery, but this should really not be necessary for a device at this price. All in all I'm still very happy with it.

My kids really do love the VR, they like playing on the VR more than they might plan on their PS five slim and there’s so many different things they can do on their that they do like not just playing video games watching stuff and doing another live things with their friends it’s a really fun educational just as well as playing on it it’s a lot of fun to my kids and I do appreciate that they came out with video hands on and it helps with them exercise just as well thank you so much.

Amazing! Comfortable and resolution is superb! Mixed reality is impressive!
