The Oculus Quest 3 is hands down one of the best gaming systems I’ve purchased. The visuals are incredibly sharp, the performance is smooth, and the mixed reality features take gaming to a whole new level. Setup was quick and easy right out of the box, and the headset is noticeably more comfortable than previous versions.
The controllers feel responsive and intuitive, and the game library keeps getting better. Whether you’re gaming, working out, or just exploring VR worlds, this system delivers an immersive experience every time.
Highly recommend for both first-time VR users and anyone upgrading — totally worth it!

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!!!

Hands-down the best entry point into modern VR I’ve ever experienced, and honestly one of the most impressive pieces of consumer tech I’ve used in years.
Right out of the box, the setup is fast and painless. Within minutes I was fully immersed, and the upgraded performance is immediately noticeable. Everything feels smooth, responsive, and powerful — from fast-paced action games to productivity apps and mixed-reality experiences. Load times are short, tracking is incredibly accurate, and the visuals are crisp and vibrant without feeling over-processed.
What really surprised me is how comfortable and accessible the Quest 3S is. The headset is lightweight, well-balanced, and comfortable even during longer sessions. The controllers feel natural in your hands, and the intuitive interface makes it easy for both newcomers and experienced VR users to jump in without frustration.
The 128GB storage option is a perfect balance — plenty of space for a solid library of games and apps without paying extra for storage you may not need. Plus, being completely wireless is a game-changer. No cables, no PC required, just total freedom to move and play.
Mixed reality is where this headset really shines. Seeing virtual elements blend seamlessly into the real world feels futuristic in the best way, and it opens the door to entirely new types of experiences beyond gaming.
Overall, the Meta Quest 3S delivers incredible value for its price. It feels premium, powerful, and thoughtfully designed. Whether you’re gaming, working out, socializing, or exploring new worlds, this headset does it all — and does it well. If you’re on the fence about VR, this is the headset that will convince you it’s worth it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a 5-star review on the Meta Quest 3S. We're thrilled to hear you find it to be the best way to experience the world of VR due to the level of comfort and the various features it brings with it.
Wishing you a continued great time in the Metaverse!

Very very fun and easy to set up. Battery life isn’t the best but I bought the upgraded head strap so it last much longer.

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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review. We are thrilled to hear that you are able to enjoy the faster loading and better graphics quality of the Quest 3S.
Walking around with your headset on and Checking your phone in Mixed reality is making it seem like the future is coming sooner than expected.
We wish you a continued amazing time in the Metaverse saving Gotham City and all the other adventures waiting for you!

Bought this as a Christmas gift for the kids and we all love it. It’s like putting on glasses to another world and playing games as if you’re actually in the game! No problems so far, we’re still learning how to use it. Overall I would rate this 9/10. The only concern is leaving them on too long you start to feel a little lightheaded. Other than that, great experience!

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.
It's great to hear you are having a smooth and ultimately fun experience right from setting your device up to exploring its the full capabilities, as well as the Horizon+ trial available as a bonus on your Quest 3S!
We're glad to hear you find our product worthwhile but we agree, there's always room for improvement.
Thank you very much for the fantastic five star review!

So I always wanted to get a vr headset, it looked so cool but could never afford it, but then the quest 3/3s and I knew one day id get em,
Now the 3 vs 3s- honestly the differences aren’t too big imo the 3s has a wide fov, a 3.5mm jack, better resolution, and that’s like the main difference- which honest for 200 more not such a big deal - the 3s is great cheap price works great especially for me since I ended up next using it as much as I expected so 325 over 500+ was definitely a better deal.
However to make it perfect I’d recommend getting a new head strap the bobo vr s3 pro it comes with an amazing strap that includes a built in forehead fan and a rechargeable battery in the back for extended gameplay.
Overall it’s a great investment for anyone new to vr or just want a new headset that won’t break the bank

I bought the Meta Quest 3S to finally dive into VR without spending $500+, and honestly it’s one of the best tech purchases I’ve made this year. From setup to play, everything was smooth and beginner-friendly — my kids love it especially the game gorilla tag.
We are so glad you have had such a great impression of your Quest 3s so far.
Thanks for the review.

Picked up the Meta Quest 3S through Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. Same-day delivery, smooth setup, and solid performance right out of the box. Definitely a reliable place to buy tech.
We hope you continue to enjoy the experience with your brand new Quest 3S.

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

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.
That's great to hear the upgrade is a hit! It's wonderful that your son is enjoying the improved graphics and controllers.
Just a friendly reminder that we recommend parental guidance and monitoring for users between 10 and 12, and to ensure the headset is adjusted properly.
We absolutely love the idea of you and your son having fun together thanks to our product. We hope you continue to make many more great memories!
Thanks for the positive feedback!
