Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Meta Quest 3S is an excellent budget-friendly VR/MR headset that delivers impressive performance thanks to its shared Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor with the Quest 3, while keeping costs low by using the Quest 2–era 1832×1920 display and fresnel lenses, which produce slightly grainier visuals. Despite this trade‑off, it offers smooth gameplay, full‑color passthrough for mixed reality, a comfortable design, and access to the full Quest content library—including bundled titles like Batman: Arkham Shadow or Gorilla Tag perks—making it one of the best-value choices for new VR users or families wanting modern VR capabilities at just $299.

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.

Excellent service in the store I had no problem with setting up the system my child loves his headset!

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.

This product is a very cool VR headset. The games are very realistic. You can also download movie apps and watch movies with no distractions. Also, the cost of this headset was very cheap and worth it.

It's great, I do find the battery on this device can drain somewhat quickly requring either a battery bank and a long type c cable or i aee they have after market battery extenders that attach to the meta

Quite honestly. Am having loads and loads of fun because the things to do on the headset are amazing . Specially once am out of work and to just relax good escape to different places

My wife and I bought this VR headset for a child with cancer and was in the hospital over Christmas. Through the hospitals "Wish" foundation, we were made aware of this child's only ask for Christmas was to receive a VR headset. Best Buy made it easy and quick to purchase and we were able to get the headset to the hospital and was gifted to the child on Christmas day! The doctors told us they noticed such a difference in the child's "happiness" by receiving this gift. This headset made a huge difference in a very sick child's life which he carry's with him anywhere he goes in the hospital.

We got this for our autistic 6 year old for Christmas! It is hands down the coolest gaming console I’ve ever seen! It also comes in handy, like a computer you wear on your face!

This Occulus is awesome! I love it. You can play golf in the winter months. I am a medical student so I am using the medical VR and it has been very useful to me in my studies. I do not regret buying this VR and neither will you! It is a must have for Christmas.

I love my oculus ! It’s more updated than the older one I just wish it was light weighted but I looo. We it

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 love the Meta Quest VR experience and how easily I got comfortable using it. My only complaint is the strap that came with the headset. It will give you a headache if you play for a while. Battery run time could be longer (2 hrs.). I bought a battery pack headset strap, and everything is great!

Fun and comfortable to wear. Lots of improvements from previous models. Battery doesn’t last very long though. Need the battery expansion if you want to game seriously.

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 fun system. I like that you can do so much. I was worried about getting sick using it but I have had no issues. My only issue is the strap. It’s uncomfortable and doesn’t fit well no matter what you do. They have a comfortable style one for extra money which is crap. They should just package it up with that but you know everyone wants to make money.

My son absolutely loves this new VR headset. The features and the graphics are amazing

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.

I've had multiple different headsets over the years but this one is by far the most versatile and user friendly one available. It has enough storage for plenty of games while remaining affordable. Each game is around 5-10gb each allowing for a bunch of games before having to worry about space. The visual fidelity is great especially for those who are venturing into Virtual reality for the first time. Battery life is a little low at 2.5-3 hrs per charge but is easily manageable for the everyday user. If you are new to VR its good to take a break every hour or so anyway until you are acclimated to using the headset. You can buy 3rd party external straps that include additional batteries extending playtime to 5-6 hours if you are worried. Overall impressed with this experience, a wide variety of games for even the avid gamer. For $250 you certainly get your moneys worth.

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.
