    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)

      Howdy Eric!

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful review. We're so glad to hear a long-time Quest user like yourself can continue to enjoy the Metaverse, no matter the device!

      Below are some quick tips to preserve your Quest's battery, because playtime is important.

      - Use the official charging cables and adapters provided with your device. Due to discrepancies between the voltages and amperages, non-official charging cables and adapters can damage the battery slowly over time.

      - Avoid leaving the headset plugged in for days or weeks. Charge your device for around 2 hours at a time, with it turned off.

      All in all, if your device is allowing around 2 hours of usage in one session, we'd say it's operating well! See you in VR, Eric. oculus

    Third Quest Device I Have Owned - Best One So Far!

    I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the Meta Quest 3 and it’s hands-down one of the best VR headsets I’ve used. From the moment I put it on, it felt like stepping into the future of immersive tech. The clarity and resolution are impressive — nearly 30% sharper than previous models — making games, apps, and mixed-reality experiences feel vibrant and lifelike. With significantly boosted graphical power and smoother performance, everything just feels crisp and responsive. The 512 GB of storage is a game-changer — you can install tons of games and apps without constantly juggling space, and downloading large immersive titles feels worry-free. I love that it’s a standalone VR system: no wires, no PC tethering — just pure, untethered fun anywhere. It’s surprisingly comfortable even during longer sessions, and the all-in-one design means less setup and more play. The included touch controllers are intuitive and add to the immersive experience right out of the box. Whether you’re diving into thrilling VR games, watching movies on a giant virtual screen, exploring mixed reality worlds, or connecting with friends in virtual spaces, this headset delivers. The library of content is fantastic, and the experience feels smooth and polished. If you want a powerful, untethered VR headset that’s packed with storage and ready for nearly anything you can throw at it, the Quest 3 512 GB is a fantastic choice. It’s immersive, fun, and a joy to use — a real standout in modern virtual reality tech.

    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.

    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.

    Quest 3 - getting there

    Coming from the quest 2 the quest 3 is definately an upgrade. The lens is better and easier to find the sweet spot. Graphics seem crisper and the ability to use your hands instead of the controllers is pretty cool. Battery isnt great which means youbare also buying the replacement headstrap with built in battery to extend playing time. And a backup battery if you are sharing this amongst friends. That adds to the already high pricetag. "Is it worth it" depends on you. If you already have a PS5 or Xbox then its a cool addition to your gaming platforms. If this is your primary device then youll value it more. The meta app has gotten better. Sharing to an outside screen is better. Seperating your facebook account with a seperate meta account is way nicer.

    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!

    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.

    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 have a decent amount of experience with different VR headsets and have been overall happy with the Quest 3. The display resolution is very good and I noticed no "screen door effect" from this headset. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of the hand tracking and the pass-thru video. The strap is easy to adjust but does leave a little to be desired if you prefer a tight fit. The battery life is shorter than I would prefer at around 2 hours in more taxing titles. Both of these issues are easily addressed with a 3rd party strap/battery pack. Definitely do your research and make sure inside-out tracking will work for you.

    We enjoyed the Meta-Quest 2 and upgraded to the Meta-Quest 3 when it became available. The graphics are noticeably improved. The pass through option allowing you to switch to entire room view is also an advance. The mixed reality games are another improved option. Many good apps and you tube videos can be enjoyed with this. Would recommend adding the elite head strap as it makes use and fitting much easier.

    Wow! What a VR headset. The graphics are stunning and the experience is incredible. Way better than the 2, which I own. Battery life is meh, but get a after market halo strap with batteries and you can VR all day if you wish. The sound quality is great and actually quite loud all by itself. The paddles are comfortable, but the battery life is nowhere near as good as the previous model.

    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
