okay, so I'm not a gamer, but I definitely appreciate how cool this technology is. I'm a wannabe mural artist that has seen this tool specifically on lots of YouTube videos. I was debating between the 3S and the 3 to get into this, and was really leaning to the 3 for the higher resolution, but I'll tell you if you're just starting out, get this! I bought it when it was $250 on sale around the holidays, and I think it's a really great value for what it is, considering I'm not doing any gaming and just want to use this for art and blowing up things for mini murals. This was a fantastic introduction. I do find the resolution a tiny bit on the low side, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference as long as your artwork is high resolution. Definitely recommend getting. I will still keep even if I upgrade.

I bought the Meta Quest for my son, and I have to say it’s been one of the best tech purchases we’ve ever made. The best part for me as a parent is how easy it is to use; there are no wires or complicated PC setups, so he can just put it on and start playing anywhere in the house.

This takes gaming to a whole new level. I was super excited for the bundle but unfortunately it didnt load when i set up the headset. It was back and forth to try to get answers but Best Buy diesnt handle getting the digital code and trying to go thru Meta is well impossible to talk to anyone. I ended up giving up and just buying TWD Saints and Sinners since it was on sale. Now if your not a big gamer there is so much more you can explore with these things, they are absolutely amazing. Workouts are fun, explore the world and more! Definitely recommend getting one but I don’t recommend getting one with a bundle. Even though i didnt get my game with it i still say this is a 5 star

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars – Amazing Christmas Gift!
We bought the Meta (Oculus) Quest 3S for our child as a Christmas gift, and it has been an absolute hit! From the moment it was opened, the excitement was nonstop. The setup was straightforward, the visuals are incredibly clear, and the performance is smooth and immersive.
There’s a great variety of games and experiences, from fun and active ones to creative and educational options, which makes it easy to find age-appropriate content. We also appreciate the parental controls and safety features, which give us peace of mind.
Overall, this has been one of the best gifts we’ve ever purchased—entertaining, engaging, and something the whole family enjoys watching and trying out. Highly recommend the Quest 3S to anyone looking for a memorable and exciting gift!

Best VR

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.

Compared to every other store, this Black Friday deal was the best. They gave $50 off along with a gift card to use back on the store… which I did. I used the card to upgrade the mask and bought covers for the remote. This was a great purchase as it also came with a free game. I had no complaints.

This item over the holiday was an insane deal, I have 2 3s and a 3 and also a 2 I love the 3s the most. The price compared to the 3 does not justify the 200$ price difference. The 3s is overall the best bang for the buck.

Surprisingly impressive performance for the price

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.

A great way to connect with my niece

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this for my 11 year ol niece for a Christmas gift and with the sale and the gift card was able to also get her the charging station. She and I now get to play games together regularly, even though we live over two hours apart. She absolutely loves the gift and so do I. She’s even started asking for virtual hugs at the end of our play sessions. The only thing I could say that’s it all negative is that the games included we were not able to use because they were too violent for an 11-year-old. It would’ve been nice if that included games would have been more age-appropriate. Absolutely love this gift that ended up being a gift for me too.

Great Upgrade from Q1

Great headset for the price! I'm a previous owner of the Quest 1, and was looking for an upgrade. Compared to the Quest 1- the Quest 3 is a game changer- much cleaner displays, and much lighter on the head. You can expect to run games for 1.5-3 hours depending.
If you're a first time buyer, and hesitant to get into the VR world the Quest 3 is a great starting point. Also unless you're a heavy modder or are planning to buy every game on the app store the lower storage model never game me an issue (you can always offload games you don't use frequently)
Happy Gaming

I used the Quest 2 for 3 years before upgrading. I use it to workout in an App called Supernatural. The Supernatural backgrounds are gorgeous on a good day but even more crisp on the 3.
So far so good, but I've only been using the 3 for about a month; I'm hoping to get the same reliable use out of the 3 as I did the 2. Crosses fingers.

Great Service, Buy The Warranty! Pays for itself!

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.
