Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the Quest 2 for a couple of years now and was debating whether to drop $500 on the Quest 3 or just wait. When the 3S came out at $249, I finally pulled the trigger. Honestly, I’m glad I saved the money, though there are definitely some tradeoffs. The performance jump is the first thing you notice. The menus are snappier, and games like Batman: Arkham Shadow (which came free with it!) look way better and load faster than anything on my Q2. The mixed reality (color passthrough) is the biggest game changer, though. It isn't "real life" perfect—it’s still a bit grainy, especially if your room isn't super bright—but being able to walk to the fridge or check a text without taking the headset off is huge. The lenses are the main compromise here. If you’re coming from a Quest 2, they look identical (Fresnel), so you still have those subtle "god-rays" and a smaller sweet spot compared to the pancake lenses everyone raves about on the regular Quest 3. I tried my friend's Quest 3 once, and yeah, that edge-to-edge clarity is nicer, but is it worth an extra $200? For me, no. Once you're actually playing a game, you stop noticing the edges anyway. Comfort is... okay. It feels slightly bulkier on the front than I expected, and the stock strap is still pretty terrible. Do yourself a favor and use the money you saved to buy a third-party strap immediately. Bottom line: If you have a Quest 2 and want mixed reality and better graphics without emptying your wallet, this is it. If you have an unlimited budget, get the regular Quest 3, but for $249 this thing is a steal.

The Quest 3S delivers an impressive mixed reality experience with sharp visuals and smooth performance. Setup was easy, and the included 3-month Horizon+ trial is a nice bonus. The headset is comfortable for shorter sessions, but it can feel a bit heavy over time. Overall, a great value for the price.

Works good definitely an upgrade from the rift s air link still sucks but with a cable it works great wish the face pad was comfortable

I purchased the meta quest 3s to play Golf+ with friends and it was a great decision to do so. The meta quest 3s gives you a ton of different gaming options, the ability to be productive with certain applications and and overall great experience when streaming movies/shows/sports events! Overall, I am very happy with the meta quest and would 10/10 recommend to anyone who is interested in purchasing. The only con I would give it is the battery life, however, there are cheap extra battery alternatives online to help improve the gaming experience.

Bought this for my 10 year old birthday to up grade his original Quest. The graphics are much better than the original quest and he uses all the time. Controls are smaller so easier to hold and move around.

The Oculus 3 delivers an amazing virtual reality experience. The visuals are sharp, the headset is comfortable to wear, and the performance feels smooth and responsive. Setup is straightforward, and the controls are intuitive, making it easy to jump right into games and experiences. Whether for entertainment, fitness, or exploring new worlds, it offers a lot of fun and feels like a big step forward in VR technology.

I recently bought this virtual reality headset for my son and honestly we’re both really happy with it. Everything was well packaged and instructions were clear so setting it up was quick and easy. It was worth the money because my son enjoys it so much. I definitely recommend and Best Buy made the whole shopping experience easy and fast.

Meta Quest 3S is an excellent service and device for immersive virtual reality. It delivers smooth performance, clear visuals, and easy setup. The headset is comfortable, versatile, and great for gaming, fitness, and social experiences in virtual worlds daily.

Very good performance for your money. Great game Library. I don’t think I will ever play flatscreen games again. I do recommend buying the kiwi boost strap because the stock strap doesn’t have great front face support. Dose take a while to learn the ui for someone who has never played vr

In terms of affordability and quality there isn't a comparable headset on the market that can compete. The ability to freely move around non tethered increases comfortablility and adds a noticed weight reduction. The comfortablility honestly make it worth taking a break every few hours. Note: can be played with plugged in I just don't.

It's super comfortable and the graphics are great. Head straps are made better than the Quest 2 and the controllers are less bulky. I recommend getting the elite strap with battery and some controller grips (I prefer Kiwi brand.) I think the 3S is a great value and I am super happy with it as of now.

The Meta Quest 3s is really fun to play with, I’m able to connect with friends and family across the United States. It really helps me be able to stay connected because I just moved up to Georgia and have no one to hang out with for the moment. It’s all really good to watch movies and do fitness games in it too!

Fantastic starter headset and great value for the price. Even if you're not a gamer, it's still perfect for watching TV shows and movies while feeling like you're in a theater no matter where you are. Super easy setup, great visual and sound quality. For only $250 it's a great starter VR headset.

If you are a sim racer kinda guy I highly recommend getting one of these headsets, at this price point the picture is very good and blew me away, the strap is a little strange at first but you’ll be too distracted after you boot up wreck fest

Love my Meta Quest 3s , I was undecided for months ! But I’m glad I made the purchase. The only thing that could be better is the battery life, if you plan on playing this for hours make sure you purchase a battery pack power bank.

Excellent!!! Thanks. It is one of the best gifts my son has received for his academic achievements. I recommend it. They will have guaranteed fun.

Every time I consider purchasing an electric item or a gaming system, I inevitably think of Best Buy. The exceptional customer service and the consistently high quality of their products make it my go-to destination for finding the best deals and the highest quality items.

Awsome deal. Can’t describe how much I love this device. I am 45 years old and did not think I would fall back into playing video games but this thing is the best thing I have gotten in a long time. I highly recommend!!!

I absolutely love this Quest 3S …. After purchasing this I have stopped using console gaming as much and even came back for VR accessories. Zero buyers remorse and that is a fact.

Gave the system to my brother as a present he absolutely loved it, he says it’s everything he’s been wanting. Only issue noticed was it does get quite hot when in use even early on, but given it’s literally a gaming system on your face it’s understandable hahahaha. Besides that absolutely perfect even thinking of getting one of my own to play with my brother!!!
