    I really like it overall! My only complaint is that I wish the battery life were better. Since it's still new to me, I sometimes feel a bit nauseous during certain movements—like flying or jumping off something—but that's probably just an adjustment period. Other than that, it's a really cool experience!

      Hi JasmineY

      Thank you for the five star review! We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your new Quest 3S, and we welcome you to the Meta Family!

      The Quest 3S offers an average 2.5 hours in the Metaverse but we know that many users want to remain in the Metaverse for much longer, so we've made a product to accommodate that! If the 2.5 hours isn't doing the trick for you, you can pick up our Elite Strap with Battery from our store for extra play time.

      You're also very right in saying VR does has a bit of a learning curve and can be a bit disorientating for some time so we'd recommend starting off with less demanding apps/games to get you on your feet and also try a take a few breaks in between until the nauseating phase wears off!

      Thanks again for the great review and if you ever run into a problem or just have some questions on your mind, then you're always welcome to reach out to our team at Meta Store Support and they'll be happy to help out in any way they can.

      Have a great day ahead!

    I love it, i don't use it for an extended period, therefore i dont worry about the battery life. But if you have the money i would recommend getting the quest 3 because of the pancake lenses, the current lenses on the quest 3s can make it seem blurry if you dont position it right in the center.

    When I first discovered VR, I was intimidated by the cost of "consoles", or headsets, and didn't really plan on purchasing one. However, when playing VR chat, I had a few friends recommend that I purchase one for the full experience of virtual games and worlds. I was not disappointed. The Quest as a whole is fairly comfortable on my head, and the cost was cheap compared to some headsets available at that time. There is a bit of a learning curve, since it is VR, however, that quickly went away as I used it. I now have a whole new genre of games at my fingertips and it's amazing, not to mention the way it allows me to "touch" apps and have real time feedback from hand gestures when accessing apps without the controllers. 10/10 would recommend anyone who has $300 to throw away to buy one. Very fun little gadget and worth the money, you get what you pay for.

    I used this for racing games and honestly, it’s amazing for the price. The graphics and smoothness blew me away, definitely exceeded what I was expecting. The only reason I returned it was so I could upgrade to the best version — that’s how much I loved it. If you’re on the fence, just know this thing is worth 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

    Replaced my Quest 2 Ive had for about 4 years which went to a meta rotating menu that goes off and on every few seconds and the only thing it can do on the menu is shut it off ! So no the new 3S and was missing my daily bowling and Golf but we are all good now and hope this one lasts longer then 4 years but love it every day if not once then many times a day if given the time .

    Great visual quality with easy setup. The passthrough augmented reality is a bit strange at first but is a great addition, especially with the full color range. My only complaint is the original strap, it cause the headset to press against your head and can cause same bad headaches.

    The Quest 3S is hands down the most impressive piece of tech I’ve ever owned. The moment I put it on, I felt like I had literally stepped into the future. The visuals are crisp, the tracking is seamless, and the comfort makes it easy to get lost in mixed reality for hours. The 128GB storage is perfect for keeping all my favorite apps, games, and experiences without worrying about space. What really blew me away, though, is how effortlessly it blends the real and virtual worlds. I can set up in my living room and instantly transform it into a movie theater, a fitness studio, or a battlefield. The included 3-month trial of Meta Horizon+ is the cherry on top—giving me access to a ton of experiences right out of the box. It’s like getting the keys to an endless playground. This isn’t just gaming—it’s creativity, fitness, entertainment, and connection all rolled into one. The Quest 3S makes every day an adventure.
