    Outdated battery powered controllers :(

    While I have so so so much fun playing beat saber I have a big nitpick to pick at. Battery powered controllers. Man I do not miss those at all whatsoever and here I am getting ready to play beat saber to find that my left controller has been completely drained while not in use? while my right controller just jumping down by 10-20% from barely even opening the game? I hate that I'd have to end up spending an extra $60+ just on getting rechargeable batteries when simply developing the controllers to be rechargeable was on the table. Imagine having the ability after use to charge your headset then after that's full charging your controllers and being ready to go without spending extra money. A feature I will always applaud Sony for keeping in their newer consoles. Now controllers aside I really appreciate the upgrade in picture quality and performance opposed to the Quest 2. It's like eye candy seeing the fluidity of my swings in Beat Saber. I'd def recommend to someone but if they're willing to go the extra mile of buying rechargeable batteries because buying new batteries every couple of months is just not it.

    I remember being blown away when I first tried the Quest 2—it felt like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. I even rushed home early from work when it was delivered, and I was instantly hooked, spending hours in VR until motion sickness hit me. When the Quest 3 came out, I did tons of research and couldn’t resist the idea of a VR experience that’s clearer, smoother, lighter, and even more immersive. I bought mine from Best Buy and rushed home to dive in—and wow, it’s a huge upgrade! Everything I loved about the Quest 2 is better. The passthrough feature is a game-changer as well—I found myself wandering the house with floating screens in front of me (even parked one in the bathroom once, no joke). The Quest 3 is perfect for anyone wanting to feel completely immersed in incredible games and virtual environments. It’s fun, intuitive, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

    Excellent VR Headset, With a Few Issues

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've loved the Quest 3 as far as its library of VR titles goes; there's plenty of variety and the quality of the visuals themselves is outstanding. I bought the Silicone Facial Interface but actually went back to the default one as the cloth feels better to me personally; I plan to switch them out though when I share the headset with company as the silicone cleans more easily. Beyond this there are a couple of issues I feel are worth mentioning. First, as many other users online have already noted, the Passthrough feature seems to be "mileage varies"; even with what I consider good lighting it tends to be grainy, albeit still good. Reading text off of a TV, PC, or phone may require bringing yourself up close to it. In short, it's functional but nowhere nearly as crystal clear as Meta's demo videos showed. The next issue is with the headset's design as far as interfacing with either the Elite Strap With Battery or the Link Cable. I say "either" because you're going to have unplug the Elite Strap With Battery anytime you want to use the Link Cable to play PCVR titles, as there's only a single port. I can't believe this is a mere oversight (even though presumably your Quest 3 draws power from the PC when using the Link Cable); it's enough of an annoyance to mention here. Lastly, for anyone wanting to use their Quest 3 wirelessly with PC to expand their available library to include games such as Half-Life: Alyx, be aware that D-Link's Air Bridge may or may not work for you, even if your PC meets all the criteria. For some folks demoing the Air Bridge on Youtube it seems to work flawlessly and easily, but for me it simply refused to connect despite being detected by both the PC and the headset. I had to return three of them before finally giving up after exhausting every troubleshooting idea I could find. Since then I've tried the Virtual Desktop app (which costs a fraction of the price) and had much greater success. Overall the Quest 3 is a very good VR headset though, and the advantages of its being wireless and self-contained also can't be overstated. I definitely recommend getting the 512GB model over the 128GB because I've already filled almost 100GB of its storage already with less than a dozen games.

    I had the quest 2 before and used it for a long time. The quest 3 is definitely worth the upgrade! Extremely sharp visuals and butter smooth gameplay. The full color passthrough is very nice as well with all the mixed reality potential. I got the 512gb version which I would recommend because new games get bigger everyday. The headstrap that comes with the quest 3 is nice but definitely get the elite strap with battery if you can. Overall I am happy with my purchase and will enjoy the quest 3 for a long time.

    Much appreciated improvement to Quest 2: resolution is much better, so passthrough is much better, too. The controllers work well, but are sometimes finicky. I keep losing one and have to reset. The battery capacity is its biggest weakness, in my opinion; you really need an external battery to enjoy. Also, the elite strap is more comfortable than the included soft one.

    Best Buy and Santa teamed up to deliver an unforgettable Christmas for my kids this year! The Meta Quest 3 was the big gift under the tree, and it has been a huge hit in our house. The setup was simple, and the quality is out of this world—literally! The immersive VR experience blew everyone’s minds, including mine. As a dad, I love seeing my kids light up when they use it. They've been exploring virtual worlds, playing games, and even learning with some educational apps. The parental controls are a big plus, making it easy for me to ensure they’re staying safe online. This was hands down the best gift Santa could have delivered this year. Thank you, Best Buy, for helping make Christmas morning magical! Would highly recommend for families looking for a tech-savvy, fun, and engaging gift!

    Quest 3 exceeded my epectations

    The Quest 3 exceeded my expectations. I had a Rift S and there were several upgrades I wanted in the Quest 3. I wanted to remove the need for a wire attached to my PC, actually I wanted to not need my PC at all, but I did not want to give up quality. I had a Readyme avatar that some players fell back to my default avatar if their VR quality was too much. The Quest 3 is great. I use the Quest 3 without a PC, cable and without a loss of quality. I do not mind the battery life; I have a lot of fun while it is charged, and it reminds me it might be a good time to take a break. My battery charges quickly so if I want to play more it is not a long wait. One thing I was surprised by was that I can use the Quest 3 (in limit settings) without the hand controllers. The Quest 3 needs a certain amount of light for use without hand controllers and once I get into a game, the games seem to need hand controllers, but I am amazed the Quest 3 can do any functions without the controllers. I enjoy that you can double tap the headset and go in and out of mixed reality. I used to lose perspective of my position in the room with my Rift S and I had to take the headset off to see where I was. With the Quest 3 I just double tap the headset and I can see the room and surroundings (very clearly) and then double tap, and I am back in full immersed mode. With my Rift S I had to draw my boundary borders and touch the floor for perspective. My Quest 3 adjusts very quickly to my room and boundary setup is done. It does ask me to confirm the boundaries when I start, but they always seem to default to the correct boundaries for me. It is such a pleasure to be able to go to a room put on the headset and controllers turn on the headset and it is ready to go. Then when I am done just turn off the headset and plug it in to recharge. (Remember to keep the eyepieces out of direct sunlight.) The Quest 3 was easy to setup. The only issue I had was the Airlink functionality. I really have enjoyed the Quest 3.

    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.

    The Meta Quest 3 is a total game-changer. I use it for RealFlight RC multiplayer, VR workouts, and even virtual fishing — and every experience feels incredibly real. The visuals are super sharp, it’s lightweight and comfortable, and the battery life holds up well. Easy to connect to my PC, and the freedom of wireless VR makes it even better. Highly recommended for anyone who wants serious immersion!

    Compared to the Quest2 and Quest3s the Quest3 outshines either of the two. The graphics are cleaner. There is not the need to have the headset centered to find the sweet spot for clarity. The games are more responsive. Finally the Quest 3 is lighter by a lot. Definately worth the little extra. Batman Arkham which came with my quest 3 is a real work out

    I was very close to giving a four star because the strap just isn’t the best option out there, but otherwise this quest is an amazing piece of hardware. Even as an upgrade from the second generation, the improvements are well worth the investment. The pancake lenses and 4k resolution is astounding. The upgraded graphics is also noticeable but not enough titles are taking advantage of this though. Say goodbye to custom songs on beat saber for now, still worth.

    After using my Quest 2 for a while, I upgraded to the Meta Quest 3, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The clarity, brightness, and overall visual quality are on a whole new level. Text is easier to read, details are sharper, and the colors look much more natural. The faster processor also makes everything smoother — apps load quicker and switching between experiences feels seamless. What surprised me the most is the mixed-reality feature. Being able to see my real surroundings and interact with digital objects at the same time feels futuristic. It opens up many new possibilities, from productivity to fitness to entertainment. The controllers are lighter and more precise, and hand-tracking has improved a lot. Comfort-wise, Quest 3 fits better on my face, and the weight distribution feels more balanced for longer sessions. Battery life could still be a bit better, but it’s acceptable considering the improved performance. I’m enjoying the Quest 3 so much that I’m already planning to purchase another one for my son. It feels like a device that will stay relevant for years, and the upgrade has definitely been worth it. Rating: ★★★★★
