    Great potential, awful support. Buy a Pico instead

    The device stopped charging after 3 weeks of use. After a year of fighting with Meta to replace both the headset and the Elite Strap that I had purchase, they responded with "Your device is now out of warranty and can only be replaced for $459.99." Unreal that they refuse to support their launch day customers that experienced charging issues so early on. 1/5 stars for what would have been a great device. Meta support is AWFUL.

    Not worth the price or the trouble at all. The color pass through is the only beneficial feature compared to the Quest 2. I've had more trouble with this headset than I ever have with the Quest 2. It crashes and disconnects constantly.

      Hey JaredD,

      Thanks for the feedback. We think the Quest 3 is an amazing upgrade and it's unfortunate that you haven't had the same experience. We hope to keep improving as we go! oculus

    A great product absolutely ruined by poor QA

    The Quest 3 is absolutely amazing: if you get a solid unit. My first headet had white dots in the screen, my second unit had a nosepiece on the facial interface that came loose during use all the time, and my third unit has what appears to be a hair or dust under the screen. My other VR headsets don't have this issue (PSVR 1and 2, Quest 2). Meta's customer support tried to troubleshoot, but the stress of having disfunctional units is not allowing me to continue trying out the Quest 3 for now.

    The kids enjoy playing it, however, I’ve already had an issue with the cooling system and need to return it for replacement.

    The games are not very good and have Lame Graphics even when you pay for them, but the kid still loves it so far. The racing game we played was unbelievably bad.

    Wanted to upgrade to the new quest. But it is slower at loading games and has more glitches than my quest 2. PC Visuals are only slightly better imo. Better tracking but eh from me.

    If you previously had the oculus two that was quite versatile for people that are non-gamers, you will be disappointed in this product. It specifically revolves around gamers and has very little VR options for non-gamers.

    Don't purchase for your 10+ kid

    Don't buy a MetaQuest for your kids if you actually want them to have a game they can use. They are unable to use gift cards, have money gifted to them or share purchasing power. Then as a parent you can gift a game but not add-on bundles and are forced to spend 100% more for a purchase. Customer support is utterly useless. The "free game" that comes with it is not avaialble for minors to use/purchase, even with parental approval. They have removed all ability for parents to actually have a choice in what their kids use - they can only approve what META says they can approve.

      Hey Mark,

      If you want to get super immersed in the Metaverse there are some great experiences and games you could try out such as Theatre Elsewhere and First encounters are easy to hop in and out of for a quick game.

      Thank you for the review and we hope you can find some fun adventures in the Metaverse! oculus

    Item was returned a after two weeks. Headset was unresponsive and was unable to access the bootloader. All of this was because the black screen appears after the Meta logo.
