Customer Ratings & Reviews

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).

While I’ve upgraded from the quest 2 I’ve enjoyed, and had a much better experience with this headset than its older counterpart. While the battery runs out quicker the visuals and higher definition is definitely worth it! Slap a portable battery on it and you’re ready to take on a new adventure! Id say its well worth its price (especially the weight difference, does wonders to my neck)

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.

If you have a Quest 2 and are on the fence about whether or not to upgrade to a Quest 3, I'd say take the plunge. I rarely used my Quest 2 after getting over the initial honeymoon phase, and I mostly blame that on the low quality visual experience. Quest 3 has a better field of view, a higher resolution, and a pass-through option that isn't completely useless. I can actually read text now without it being a blurry mess. My main gripe is the terrible head strap that it comes with, as longer sessions become an exercise in masochism. I'd really recommend buying a third party head strap--one that has batteries preferred.

Fantastic item, definitely a great upgrade from the oculus 2. Would recommend for anyone who wants a quality vr experience. I would recommend the comfort strap / battery pack combo tho.

The Qeuest 3 is a lightweight, high resolution, standalone VR headset with a wide variety of games/apps for solo or social activities. It is easy to set up and get started with helpful tutorials for the VR beginner. The included fabric headstrap is a little flimsy, so serious users will probably want to find a more advanced strap for better fit, comfort, and functionality.

The Meta Quest 3 512GB has been a game-changer for me. It’s super easy to set up, and the visuals are incredible—everything looks sharp and smooth. Batman: Arkham Shadow was a huge win, letting me step into Gotham and feel like the hero. It’s immersive and just plain fun. The headset is lightweight and comfortable enough for longer sessions, though I’d suggest upgrading the strap for a better fit. The 512GB storage is great—I don’t have to worry about running out of space, even with multiple games and apps. As a parent, I love that it’s standalone—no extra PC or console needed—and it’s versatile enough for the whole family to enjoy. It’s not cheap, but for the quality and experience, it’s absolutely worth it.

Works great does everything I wanted it to do. Battery life could be a little better but that's why I bought the extended battery pack from kiwi

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

Amazing device, I would say you do need to invest in a battery pack and head strap as the device will die out in about 1.5/2hrs on its own. And the strap is not so comfortable. Other than that this device has provided me with so much entertainment from movies to games to work outs!

Overall its amazing. Comfortable and extremely fun! Battery life sucks but got an aftermarket battery pack and its incredible,

The VR works great on its own. Set up is detailed and effective with teaching basic uses. This was purchased to use specifically with PS5. It is not, however, simple to pair\use with a PlayStation. There was also some delays in comms, that translated to some glitchy VR. Possible dedicated SSID for the comms between the meta and PS would help. Wireless should not have been an issue. Verified 1.6 Gbs speed- WiFi 6 with Nighthawk cable modem router. If I was not looking for VR specifically for the playstation and easy to use for children I would have kept this. However

My twin son got this for his birthday after his brother received one for Christmas. They were tied of sharing. He loves it and I don’t mind because at least it has them up moving around. Excellent quality, we bought the comfort head strap which seems to be more comfortable. If they have to okay video games, at least every are moving.

Beautiful graphics, wonderful games and worlds. Very lightweight and comfortable.

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.

Meta Quest 3 delivers stunning visuals, smooth MR, and top-tier performance in a sleek design!

A terrific device that has ton to do and will keep you entertained for hours on end. I’m extremely impressed with the visuals, and the hardware compliments it. You can enjoy movies and shows, as if you are sitting in a movie theater. I have to remind myself that I’m at home with a headset on. The battery life isn’t the best but that is easily addressed with a different head strap that takes external batteries. The support for this system is already in place with tons of games in the Meta Horizon store. Batman, Iron Man, Walk About Golf…I’m thoroughly enjoying what I thought we were still years away from. Get one, you will not be disappointed.

Way better than the quest 2. The quality and resolution is so much higher, and it’s much lighter on the head. Battery is about the same unfortunately.

Compared to the previous model, this was without a doubt an upgrade, very comfortable to use, excellent graphics compared to model 2, battery is a little less efficient, but the speed, graphic quality and comfort make up for it without a doubt. Very satisfied.

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!
