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.

I absolutely love the meta 3s it is the perfect Virtual Reality headset for people enteri g VR or woth experience it is very affordable and has superb features it is also one of the best headsets you can get currently. BestBuy was very good sith fast delivery and great perks I definitetly reccomend buying this headset and if you do BestBuy is the place to buy it.

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.

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.

Very immersive technology. A little heavy on the head. Games are expensive but the experience of playing is great. It is wireless and allows movement. Needs to be charged regularly.

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!!!

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!

This is a cool system. It’s worth every penny. I see the told updates from the 1st generation. It’s had so many games and activities on it. Love that I can just charge everything and not have to use batteries for my handheld device. It’s very nice size for traveling. I wish it came in colors. If you are thinking about getting one, don’t hesitate grab yours today. You won’t regret it. It also has other devices like a body set to go with it. I’m definitely pushing to get that as well. I’m also trying to get a stand for it. They do have those too. One more thing to mention, the controller are so much better to grip and hold. I like they took off the round thing, fr people with bigger hands. The band around the headset is so better. I post a picture of my old one verses my new one

We bought this for outlr son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. There are so many great features. Love the quality

Overall I love the 3s. I upgraded from the original quest, and while some features such as the graphics are a big jump, overall it’s just a nicer version that actually functions. It’s a great headset for those just getting into VR. Even for those like myself who have prior experience with VR, it’s probably the best standalone for the price. I will warn all of those who are brand new to VR, on phones and tvs we have gotten used to extremely high quality 4k images. And the 3s is definitely not that. However I don’t think it’s a large issue, as your eyes get used to it over time. Plus this actually helps with battery life, when comparing this to the 3. For the 3s the battery can definitely last different amounts of time depending on what games you are playing. For example on Beat Saber, it honestly lasts forever. But for other games, especially those that have other players in game, it could die in less than two hours. Tracking for controllers, the headset itself, and hand tracking all work great. The only issue I haven’t found a solution for yet is that I will occasionally hit the action button When I meant to adjust the volume. Overall if you’re trying to decide to purchase the headset I would have to recommend it.

My son loves this we also bought the wireless battery pack.. very realistic and he enjoys it

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.

Great and awesome and also easy to use and it’s a very fun device for children also a really great price for what it does

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!

I think this is so cool, way more than just a vr game. Once u put it on its as if u have 3 desktop computers infront with different screens that u can browse and search web, play games , go through emails and more. Even can watch Netflix which im not sure how is yet but its pretty cool.

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.

Really great got this for Christmas gift and haven’t stopped playing VR games and other virtual stuff. Then your models are a bit better than the other ones just wish a bit of the battery life could last a bit, but they are so accessories for that other than that I really like the new VR

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.

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

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.
