    The screen seems to go blurry as you move your head. You have to recenter the screen constantly. And the lenses adjust but not enough to make up for the fact that letters get blurry. It’s also rather warm looking into this for a long time.

    I’ve had the Quest 3s for a bit now, and it honestly blew me away. The setup was quick, the tracking is super smooth, and the graphics are way clearer than I expected. The mixed reality features are really cool being able to see my surroundings while playing makes everything feel more immersive and safe. The headset feels lighter and more comfortable compared to older models too. If you’re into gaming or just want to explore VR, this is definitely one of the best all around options right now. Battery life could be a bit longer, but overall, it’s a great buy.

    The Meta Quest 3S Might Be the Best Value in V

    After spending serious time with the Meta Quest 3S, I can honestly say it's one of the best bang-for-your-buck headsets on the market right now. For $299 to $399, you're getting next-gen performance, full-color passthrough, access to the entire Quest ecosystem, and solid tracking—all in a wireless, standalone package. Yes, it cuts a few corners to keep the price low-mainly the use of Fresnel lenses instead of pancake optics, and a basic strap system-but none of these compromises are dealbreakers. The visuals are still sharp, the performance is buttery smooth, and the overall experience feels way more premium than its price suggests. If you're new to VR, upgrading from a Quest 2, or just looking for a powerful mixed-reality headset without spending $500+, the Quest 3S is a no-brainer. It brings most of the Quest 3's core strengths—like the XR2 Gen 2 chip, great hand and controller tracking, and access to next-gen games-at a significantly lower cost. For me, it strikes the perfect balance between affordability, performance, and immersion. Sure, if you want the absolute best visuals, the Quest 3 is still king-but the Quest 3S is incredibly close, and for hundreds less.

    I was hesitant to buy a VR headset because im not a gamer but it was still worth it. I bought it mainly for streaming movies and sports. The image quality is amazing(1080p) and you can size the screen to as big as you want. They also have theater mode which allows you to curve the screen. You can have multiple app or browser windows running at once which is pretty cool. I use the MLB, YouTube and Amazon Prime apps. For everything else i log in via their web browser. The only downsides for me is the older lens which sometimes appear cloudy and show rings and thr battery life.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review!

      We're so glad to hear that you've been loving your Quest 3S, particularly its awesome visual quality across a multitude of apps!

      We do appreciate your feedback regarding some cloudiness in the lenses and the battery life and we would recommend that if you haven't already you may want to use a dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lenses from the center outwards to see if this reduces the cloudiness for you.

      As for the battery we would advise that if your battery is not lasting for at least two hours to get in touch with our wonderful support team through our website who can look into any power issues you may be experiencing.

      Overall we hope that you continue to have an amazing time as you explore all of the endless wonders the Metaverse has to offer! oculus

    Good entry-level headset with just OK specs. Battery life was ok, and so were graphics and resolution. Got a few dead pixels within a few days of owning it, but thankfully, it was still covered under warranty. If you are someone who doesn't mind lower resolution and FOV, then this is perfect for you.

      Hey Nakeena,

      Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us regarding your recent Meta Quest 3s purchase.

      We're delighted that you're enjoying your headset, and play it often!

      The Meta Quest 3s has 2.5 hours of average run time with 4,324 mAH. If longer battery life for longer playtime is something you're interested in, you can look at the "Elite Strap with Battery" which adds an extra two hours of playtime! oculus

    I wasn't sure if I needed this since my Quest 2 was working fine, but my son really wanted to play the new Batman game so I caved. Honestly? I'm actually impressed. Setting it up was super easy, took maybe 10 mins. The biggest difference right away is the cameras on the front. On my old one, looking around the room was all black and white and fuzzy. On this one, it’s in color. It’s not like 4K TV clear, but I can actually look at my phone or find my water bottle without taking the headset off which is huge. Games definitely run smoother. We played Batman and Gorilla Tag and it just feels faster, no stuttering. The visuals are crisp enough for me. I know people talk about the lenses being "old tech" or whatever, but unless you are a VR nerd, you probably won't notice. It looks great to me. My only gripe is the head strap. It’s pretty flimsy. After about an hour of playing, my face starts to hurt a bit. definitely planning to buy a better strap soon. Also, the battery drains kinda fast if you are playing intense games, so maybe get a battery pack if you play for long sessions. Overall though, for $300? It's a no brainer. way cheaper than the pro models and does everything I need it to do. Pros: Color pass through is cool Fast and smooth Great price Cons: Strap is uncomfy Battery life could be better

      Hey Rish!

      We're so thrilled to hear that you and your son are having a blast with your new Quest 3S headset! Being able to enjoy the Batman game to hunt the rats and playing some Gorilla tag in clearer and faster pace.

      Walking around your room and getting a drink of water after playing for long periods without having to take off your headset feels like the future is coming faster than expected.

      We completely hear you on the head strap and the battery Rish. If you're looking for a good way to improves both at the same time, then we would recommend checking out our store for the Meta Quest Elite Strap with battery, it provides more comfort for longer gaming sessions and adds another whopping 2 hours of virtual adventures onto your sessions.

      We hope you and your son continue to enjoy your new device and we wish you all the best on your travels through the Metaverse! oculus

    I really like it overall! My only complaint is that I wish the battery life were better. Since it's still new to me, I sometimes feel a bit nauseous during certain movements—like flying or jumping off something—but that's probably just an adjustment period. Other than that, it's a really cool experience!

      Hi JasmineY

      Thank you for the five star review! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your new Quest 3S, and we welcome you to the Meta Family!

      The Quest 3S offers an average 2.5 hours in the Metaverse but we know that many users want to remain in the Metaverse for much longer, so we've made a product to accommodate that! If the 2.5 hours isn't doing the trick for you, you can pick up our Elite Strap with Battery from our store for extra play time.

      You're also very right in saying VR does has a bit of a learning curve and can be a bit disorientating for some time so we'd recommend starting off with less demanding apps/games to get you on your feet and also try a take a few breaks in between until the nauseating phase wears off!

      Thanks again for the great review and if you ever run into a problem or just have some questions on your mind, then you're always welcome to reach out to our team at Meta Store Support and they'll be happy to help out in any way they can.

      Have a great day ahead!

    The Meta Quest 3 is easily one of the best standalone VR headsets out right now. The setup is quick, the interface feels smooth, and the passthrough upgrade makes a huge difference being able to see your room clearly while switching between apps or adjusting your play area is a game changer. The visuals are noticeably sharper than previous models, and the tracking feels solid even in smaller spaces. It’s lightweight enough for longer sessions, and the controllers are comfortable, though hand tracking has gotten good enough that I actually use it more than I expected. What really stands out is how versatile it is. Whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or trying out mixed-reality apps, it feels like the headset can do a bit of everything without needing a PC. The app library is growing fast too, so there’s always something new to try. Overall, the Quest 3 delivers a great mix of performance, comfort, and features. If you’re looking to upgrade from an older headset or trying VR for the first time it’s definitely worth it.

    I love it, i don't use it for an extended period, therefore i dont worry about the battery life. But if you have the money i would recommend getting the quest 3 because of the pancake lenses, the current lenses on the quest 3s can make it seem blurry if you dont position it right in the center.

    I recently purchased the Meta Quest 2 and have been using it daily. I’m genuinely impressed by how smooth and responsive the headset is, especially considering its age and price. The setup process was quick, and the interface feels very intuitive even for someone who isn’t a heavy gamer. What I love the most is how versatile it is. I use it for watching movies, exploring VR travel experiences, meditation apps, and light fitness. The screen clarity is better than I expected, and the sound quality is surprisingly immersive without needing external headphones. The headset is lightweight and comfortable for longer sessions. Battery life is decent — not amazing, but acceptable for a standalone VR headset. I also like that it can connect to a PC when I want to try more advanced VR content. Overall, Quest 2 feels like a great balance of performance, price, and convenience. Even though newer models exist, this one still offers an enjoyable and reliable VR experience. I’m very happy with the purchase so far.

    I recently bought my son the new Quest 3S VR from Best Buy last Christmas, and the experience has been great. The staff was helpful and made the whole process smooth and easy. My son absolutely loves the headset! One thing I highly recommend to anyone purchasing a Quest VR is to get the extended warranty. We’ve owned three Quest VR headsets over the years, and every single one of them eventually had tracking issues, this one included. However, this one lost tracking and thought it was in motion in a vehicle which was a new one. Having the protection plan gives you peace of mind. What makes it even better is how convenient it is to work with the Geek Squad. When something goes wrong, you can just walk in and they swap it out quickly with no hassle. It really makes the whole process stress-free. Overall, Best Buy has always taken care of us, and this purchase was no different. Great service, great products, and definitely worth getting the extra coverage.

    The Meta Quest 3 is easily one of the best VR headsets you can buy right now. The clarity is a huge step up, the colors pop, and the mixed-reality passthrough is surprisingly sharp. It feels lighter and more comfortable than previous models, which makes longer sessions way easier. Performance is smooth, load times are quick, and everything just feels more responsive. Whether you’re gaming, working out, or exploring mixed-reality apps, the experience is super immersive. The controllers feel great, and hand-tracking has gotten so accurate that you almost forget you’re using a standalone device. The best part? No wires. No PC required. You can just pick it up and jump straight in. If you want a future-proof VR headset that’s fun, powerful, and incredibly easy to use, the Quest 3 delivers.
