Quest 3 is a huge improvement over quest 2. I highly recommend anyone *thinking* about doing it to just do it. I will say, currently the battery life has some issues (due to software) and the passthrough on social media looks that good only in recordings...HOWEVER, you can tell the performance update, graphical fidelity, and the *usability* of the passthrough is noticeably increased. Well worth it.

My Son’s Favorite Gift Ever!

I bought the Meta Quest 3 for my son last year, and it has truly been the best purchase we’ve made. From the day he opened it, it’s been his absolute favorite thing to do. The graphics are amazing, the headset is comfortable, and the variety of games and apps keeps him entertained for hours. What I love most is that it’s not just fun—some of the games are interactive and even educational, so he’s moving around and learning while playing.
Setup was simple, and even as a parent, I found it easy to manage settings and keep things safe. The quality feels worth the price, and it’s held up great with daily use. If you’re looking for a gift that will wow your kids (or even yourself), I can’t recommend the Meta Quest 3 enough.

I've been buying fitness apps on it and been having fun exercising with it. My friends have tried it and some of them have felt dizzy using it, I usually don't except for apps where you maintain your head steady and look around with the analogue stick.

This was an absolutely amazing buy! I’m having so much fun with all the games that came with the free Horizons+ for three months. Comparing to my old PSVR, the resolution quality is remarkable. Not being constrained by cables is such freedom. The mixed reality games that add virtual objects to your real life surroundings are a sight to behold and even playable for people who easily get dizzy. After watching a few YouTube videos with Meta Quest tips for beginners, I learned how to use and adjust headset, controllers, and settings.

An upgrade in every way

As someone who has used Oculus/Meta since the original model dropped, it's seriously remarkable how good of a headset this is.
The picture quality is obviously pretty good, but the real game-changer comes from the build of the headset itself. Not only are the lenses clear even with sweat building up from hour-long sessions of Beat Saber, but it's so lightweight that I've never experienced fatigue from wearing it. Even though I paired this up with the elite strap after the horrors of the Quest 2's lousy velcro, I honestly think I could've lived with the original strap because it's genuinely that light!
Is it a better value than the Quest 3S? Definitely not. But for somebody who uses VR on a daily basis, the extra $200 is more than worth the upgrade for anybody trying to get serious into VR.

What a complete upgrade in every way over the Quest 2. I've been an avid gamer for the entirety of my life and this the first time in some time I have felt a true sense of wonderment in the world of gaming. If you have yet to experience the future of video games that is Virtual Reality look no further than here. One of the major drawbacks of traditional gaming is being locked to a chair or couch. This removes that sedentary part entirely. You can truly work up a sweat on some of these games. Mixed reality which is only through quest 3 offers a host of games that blend your own environment with fantastical creatures to fight or befriend. I highly recommend purchasing the 16ft connection cable so your sessions can surpass the 2-3 hours of standard battery it carries. Couple that with a premier laptop external charger (Anker brand is the one I have) and you can go anywhere and play anything to your heart's content.

The VR Option! Why even look at the other options?

This device is not $1,000-$3,000 like its competitors . Only a fool would do that, deal with entangling base stations and external sensor stations, only to do and play the same games the Meta Quest 3 can. Simply - it is affordable, comes with many 3rd party accessory options, has a Steam VR app to sync directly to your PC VR options and works well. Even the Quest 2 works great. This is just the newer and higher quality option. Why spend thousands when for this price, you get equal or better? Doesn't make sense. Even if you didn't need the 512, you could use the lesser storage and use a PC to play your PCVR games like Half Life 2 VR , Skyrim VR, Fallout 4 VR, Far Cry VR, Alien Isolation VR, Doom 3 BFG VR .... etc.
I have over 600 hrs on Steam VR and climbing. I have enjoyed Re4 VR in MetaQuest as well as a few other games & the VR YouTube stuff like concerts.

Meta Quest 3 Honest Review

I had been wanting to get a VR set for a long time and after doing some research I went and bought the Meta Quest 3 and in my honest opinion it is a absolutely stunning and incredibly immersive experience, with tons of games and apps to explore, the only things I would argue that you need to ready for is to buy a better headstrap that you can use batteries on to charge it with because the battery can drain quickly depending on how much you use it. But overall if your looking for a fun and comfortable experience outside anything anyone’s ever had from staring at a screen of either a computer or TV for video games this is something that will definently be different and surprising.

The meta quest 3 is more than a video game. It’s a dimension inside a new world of his own. The graphics of the meta quest 3 makes it so realistic that it’s hard to distinguish reality of the real world to the virtual reality of the mega quest three. This is the best video game I ever had in my entire life. I’m 54 years old and for a woman of my age who was never into video games since I was a child playing this doesn’t feel as if I’m playing a video game, but I’m walking and living into a whole new world. The fun things about it I can make phone calls or search the social media page or search my personal email pretty much I can do so much and meet fantastic people all over the world and sit and have conversations in private world rooms. The mega quest three is the best virtual reality game/world of all time. It’s so fun so realistic and so thrilling when you’re stressed or frustrated there are so much exciting to look forward to in the Meta quest three and one of the greatest slightly things about it is: it is portable! You can take it anywhere you go and it would never disappoint you. I love the meta quest three thank you for the meta quest 3 sincerely Nicole Wade

The Ocusus 3 blew me away the setup was a breeze, and I was diving into mixed reality in minutes. The visuals are crisp and vibrant, and the motion tracking feels incredibly smooth and natural. I wore it for hours without discomfort, which is rare for gear like this. Honestly, it nails everything I hoped for in a headset i give it a solid 5 out of 5.

Honestly I bought this thinking it would be this revolutionary product. It turns out that it's kind of a gimmick product. Yes, it does what it says it will but it got a lot of hype like it was the next big thing and honestly it seems like a Virtual Boy with better graphics. I can't connect to my PC in a meaningful way unless I got and buy a USB cable that is compatible. The wireless connection to my PC is a joke. I just don't know what to do with this thing. Also after 15-20 minutes of doing anything with this thing I get a headache and motion sickness. The strap that it comes with is extremely comforable and it doesn't fit on my face very well. Now, I have to buy a USB cable that has the speeds for data transfer and I have to buy and upgraded headset strap because the one it came with is the most uncomfortabe thing I have ever put on. It's like wearing burlap straps. I was going to give it 4 stars but after writing this review down I am going to drop it to 3 stars. I haven't picked it up to play it again since I bought it. I have maybe 2 hours playing on it.

Best AR/VR headset

I bought the Meta Quest 3 because of all the hype Apple created with the Vision Pro around AR/VR and Mark Zuckerberg's video pitching the Quest 3 as a better product, the Quest 3 is truly a spacial computer - the windows stay in one place when you move around... the Meta ecosystem is really good, all the social apps integrate well with the headset... I got the 512GB one and filled it up with movie files I have on my computer to watch on Skybox VR App via USBC - the content watching experience is amazing in your own personal cinema inside that App, you can't see any pixels, plus Netflix, Prime and YouTube have Apps... I also use it as a monitor for my Mac... it's amazing having a 100 inch or foot screen to work with (depends on what size screen you want and how far away you want it to be, it looks like a real screen is in your space with passthrough video), it even allows for multiple screens something you can't do with a Vision Pro... it now feels weird and super small to use the screen of my laptop... The other day a notification came up asking me to join in the Metaverse and watch an NBA game in Horizon Worlds App, it was like being courtside, you can look up/around and move around a digital stadium that integrates with the 360 video of the court, there are no ads, so you get to see the action in the timeouts, and you can talk to other people in the Metaverse who are there... reviews have concluded that the Apple Vision Pro is used best for content consumption and so is the Meta Quest 3, there is no reason to pay 7 times more... and you don't get to miss out on VR/AR, even though the headset is plastic, it feels like a high quality product that was thoughtfully designed... as an online review said... "the Quest 3 lets you experience the new version of immersive internet"... I got Anker's biggest power bank, so I can watch content and use it after the battery dies, it works well... Meta has 10+ years experience with the Oculus Rift, the various versions of the Quest and you can tell the Quest 3 is a mature product, the 4 will be amazing with all the competition from Apple igniting this war...

The VR headset is awesome with beautiful visuals. The passthrough is grainy but at this price point can not beat it. You can see good enough to walk around in your house upgrade your headgear immediately for long term use comfort. This grainy video can be fixed with software update. If you have never experienced VR it will amaze you. I was skeptical at first but my mind was blown away. If you over 50 remember clicking viewfinders we had as kids pulling lever on side. This is upgrade on steroids. I am like kid in candy store with this headset.

I love this device. It's easily the most robust and easy to use VR headset I've tried this far. I had some technical difficulties and CSR helped with everything. Even better, they told me that with the holiday sales, their referral program was a win win, where everyone using it receives a bonus $60 in estore credit. meta.com/referrals/link/IonFONE (remove if needed, but useful for all new users who purchase on Best Buy!) Between this and the Black Friday deal here at Best Buy, that's $130 in credit towards hardware and software for the Quest 3 - a clearly nice boost to help get through the holidays.
