Customer Ratings & Reviews

Big improvement from quest 2. Need aftermarket head strap as stock not comfortable and needs longer battery. Recommend a head strap with swappable battery. Lots of games and really like the new subscription model as it’s cheaper and has many games with 2 new games monthly. Fun games and also nice to watch movies and surf content. Could use better interface as I am quite spoiled also having an Apple Vision Pro. Using the hand gestures to select items takes a steady hand. As for accessories I like the Meta version because all work together recommend the charging cradle, hand straps and silicone facial interface all work perfect together and keeps you charged up and ready.

I didn’t expect to love the Quest 3 as much as I do. I originally got it thinking it’d be a cool gadget, maybe some games here and there. Instead, it ended up becoming one of the most useful things I’ve bought in years. The biggest win for me is fitness. I’m doing high-intensity workouts multiple times a week now, and it doesn’t feel like a chore. Stuff like Beat Saber actually gets my heart rate up and keeps me moving, and it’s fun enough that I keep coming back to it. The headset itself feels like a real upgrade too. It’s sharp, smooth, and immersive in a way that’s hard to explain until you try it. It’s also been great for zoning out at the end of the day without just doomscrolling on my phone. If you want something that’s actually going to get used and not sit on a shelf, the Quest 3 is 100% worth it. It’s not just “VR is neat.” It’s genuinely changed my routine.

I bought the Meta Quest 3 recently and honestly it exceeded my expectations. Setup was quick and easy, and from the first use it feels like a well-made, polished device. For gaming, it runs super smoothly—the tracking is really responsive, everything feels natural, and the immersion is on another level. I’ve genuinely caught myself forgetting I’m just standing in my living room. For movies, it’s just as impressive. The display looks sharp, colors are great, and watching content on a huge “virtual screen” is incredibly comfortable—perfect when you just want to chill. Being fully wireless also makes a big difference, since it’s so easy to pick up and use anytime. Overall, if you want something that’s great for both games and watching movies, the Quest 3 is 100% worth it. One of the best tech purchases I’ve made in a while.

Coming from a quest 1 and tried a friends quest 2. This is a massive step up in quality. Screen looks much clearer and feels much lighter. I would recommend getting a different head strap because the little jock strap it comes with sucks and hurts my head. With an upgraded strap this thing is a lot of fun. Would also recommend getting a strap with another battery if you plan on playing for longer than an hour or two at a time

Had the valve for a while but needed to upgrade and it was definitely worth it, with the intigrated software i could just play anywhere, hand sensors are fine if you dont have much light then they start acting kinda weird. Resolution is good. I saw people having a lot of issues with tue steam connect maybe because of their internet connecting but i have ad any issues with a cable is even bette. Only complain would be battery life but there a log list of products that deal with that issue as well as others. Overall if you dont wanna spend crazy amount for a vr set up this is definitely a decent product pr just wait for the nrw steam vr

I’ve had the Meta Quest 3 for a couple of weeks now, and I’m honestly blown away. The visual quality is a huge upgrade — sharper graphics, better colors, and a wider field of view make everything feel more immersive and real. What really sets it apart is the mixed reality. Being able to blend virtual elements into my actual environment is a game-changer. Whether I’m working out with Supernatural, playing Asgard’s Wrath, or just exploring my apps, everything feels smooth, intuitive, and super engaging. Comfort is great, the passthrough is shockingly clear, and setup was simple. This headset proves VR is no longer just gaming — it’s the future of entertainment, creativity, and even productivity. If you’re on the fence, get it. Worth every penny.

I am an owner of the original oculus quest 2 during covid and let me tell you. THIS ONE blows the quest 2 out of the water. In terms of performance alone, all my games have a greater level of detail. Everything is smoother and new fidelity I didn’t know was possible on a standalone system. The new lenses are a game changer, no more fuzzy text or comparing the view to my terrible vision or dry eyes. Meta as released a product that will stay current for quite some time. Plus, plug this in to a pc with a link cable with a powerful system and you will take advantage of the new lenses even more The controllers are a big upgrade from the previous generation. I constantly clashed the large rings in the last controller, no more issues with that as I reload guns in VR. Lastly, the elephant in the room. Mixed reality, it’s super crisp and a lot of fun! You can go around your house looking like a total idiot but have full visual and fulll functionality after adjusting properly to digital depth perception similar to NVG’s. (Night vision goggles) I can see this being a great product for both gaming and productivity! I have referred people and everyone I tell about the system it literally sells itself.

I remember first getting the quest 2 and having it for some time, it was a good experience considering it was an affordable vr headset and it was standalone but with the quest 3, it got a whole lot better. Especially with the new meta update with hand tracking and other improvements, it just creates perfection. It just has so much improvements and for me 4k and the new lenses are the best for me. What im trying to say is that it is basically the quest 2 but on steroids. If you are looking for an upgrade don’t get the 3s, get the 3 because for a 200 dollar difference you get a way better experience. The battery life is decent, the head-strap is uncomfortable but all that can be fixed with additional upgrades. 10/10 would recommend it to a friend.

This is an overall alright headset by Meta, it feels lighter and is more graphically powerful than the quest 2. Just a word of advice, if you plan on spending many hours with this device. You will need to spend more money on accessories which raises the base price. The provided headstrap is terrible and uncomfortable, along with the battery life as well which is realistically around 1 hour and 30 depending on device usage in passthrough which drains faster. The passthrough is terrible if your house has terrible lighting, unless you have a lot of windows or studio lights expect a grainy passthrough. Would I still recommend this headset? Yes! The ability to play standalone wherever is amazing around my house, and being able to wirelessly connect to my PC and play all my VR games with zero lag is also amazing! So it just depends on whether you think the upgrade is fit for you in the end in terms of money.

The Meta Quest 3 is a really impressive VR headset that greatly improves upon the Quest 2. It provides enhanced performance, comfort, and display quality. The screens are sharper, making games look absolutely fantastic. The full-color passthrough works nicely, though it might miss some small details in low light. The image can sometimes appear grainy or soft, especially in dim settings. It’s not quite high-res enough to replace seeing the real world directly like the Vision Pro

Have inly been using for about 4 days but for a first time vr user i absolutely love it! Theres some things that could be better such as the battery life, and head strap comfort, but great other than that

This is a huge improvement over the Meta Quest 2 which I also own. I was shocked when I first turned it on and the passthru came into view. I had no idea that I'd be able to see my real surroundings in such detail. I can read my phone and watch with the headset on. Games are faster, smoother. The resolution is much better. The fit feels better even with the default strap. I'm waiting on a BoboVr M3 which should provide and even better wearing experience. The pancake lenses are sooo much better than the lenses on the Quest 2. This unit will require upgraded external batteries. The external supplemental batteries you may have bought for your Quest 2 are not going to last very long on the Quest 3 and may not work at all. Quest 2 headstraps will not work with the Quest 3 without modification or conversion kits.

Meta Quest 3 Review: A Game-Changer in Virtual Reality The Meta Quest 3 is an exciting leap forward in the world of virtual reality, offering an immersive and versatile experience. As someone who loves it, I can definitely see why—it combines cutting-edge hardware with a refined user experience that makes VR feel more accessible and enjoyable than ever before. Design & Comfort: The Meta Quest 3 features a sleek, modern design that's both lightweight and comfortable. The fit is adjustable, making it easy to wear for long VR sessions without feeling too heavy on your head. The addition of a thinner profile compared to its predecessor makes a noticeable difference in comfort and ease of use. Display & Visuals: The visuals are fantastic, with a sharper display and enhanced color contrast. The Quest 3 utilizes a higher-resolution display, which results in clearer, more vibrant visuals. Whether you're playing intense action games or exploring immersive VR environments, the clarity and detail are top-notch. The overall experience feels very lifelike, drawing you into the virtual world with great depth.

The Meta Quest 3 is an impressive upgrade and easily the best standalone VR headset I’ve used. The visuals are noticeably sharper, with much clearer text and far less screen-door effect compared to previous generations. The improved processing power really shows—games and apps run smoother, load faster, and look more detailed. Wireless freedom is a huge plus. Being able to jump into VR without cables makes a big difference for immersion and convenience. Mixed reality features are surprisingly useful as well, especially for room-scale play and casual experiences. The headset feels lighter and more comfortable than expected, even during longer sessions. The 512GB storage option is absolutely worth it if you plan to download multiple games and apps without worrying about space. Setup was quick, tracking is accurate, and the overall experience feels polished and future-proof. Highly recommend this headset to both newcomers to VR and anyone upgrading from an older model.

So many good things to say about this device, where to even start? I guess a bit of background. For my career, I'm a Sr. Technical Writer working from home. For my hobbies, I love 2D gaming and creative writing. The AVP released and naturally, my interest in virtual computing/monitor solutions was more than piqued. Not keen on spending $3,500, I started trialing some "XR glasses", namely the Xreal Air 2 Pro and the VITURE One XR. After that proved to be an absolute fail in the productivity realm, I went ahead and picked up the Meta Quest 3. There was nothing that could prepare me for just how flooring this experience would be. Popping in the headset for the first time is really cool, once you get it adjusted to comfort, which can take a bit of finicking (and some 3rd party accessories, discussed later). The real mind-blowing experience for me though, was downloading the Immersed app (free) from the Meta Store and remote connecting to my work MacBook. In this app, you're thrown into a beautiful immersive 3D environment, where you have complete remote access to the device you're connected to. From here, you can spawn one to five virtual monitors that can be resized, curved, and placed anywhere in your virtual environment. You open the palm of your hand and reveal an interactive menu, tap on the icon with a finger to engage it. This allows you to quickly switch between a virtual environment and passthrough (cameras capturing the real world around you), change your seat in the virtual environment, hide your virtual screens, mute your mic, and more. So aside from being the pinnacle of my virtual office setup, it's also a mind-blowing unit for 2D game consumption, or any type of media entertainment really. The Xbox Cloud Gaming app allows you to stream Xbox Game Pass titles on a massive virtual screen. You can also use Immersed or a paid app like Virtual Desktop to remote connect to your PC, which can then be used for playing PC games on, again, a massive virtual screen. Watching LotR in the same manner is like getting to relive it in the theaters again. If you would've told me that once I get a Meta Quest 3, my physical monitors and TVs would collect dust, I would've never believed it. Experiencing it for the first time and utilizing this invaluable piece of technology for my work and leisure has been an absolute dream. Seriously cannot wait for the future of VR. Also, if you compare this unit to the other VR headsets out there, you'll find the value to be the best available. $500 for the 128GB or $650 for the 512GB is an absolute steal. You get what you pay for, twice over. If you plan on using this unit for extended sessions, I would highly recommend getting a 3rd party head strap. The one I use is called the BOBOVR M3 Pro and it allows me to wear my MQ3 while working for several many hours throughout the day. This is because the weight distribution balances all the pressure loosely on your head, with padding, instead of tightly on your face. TL;DR, if you want a world-changing virtual viewing experience for movies, shows, and 2D games, a superb productivity tool, and a very capable VR/PCVR gaming device, look no further than the Meta Quest 3. Great resolution, great native OS, tons of apps on the Meta Store, option to sideload Android APKs, color passthrough, exceptional controllers, hand tracking, light and compact (it's even lighter than the AVP), tons of 3rd party accessory options, and so much more. Yes, I'm very passionate about the product, but that's only because I've literally seen and experience everyday how much the MQ3 can do for me. I've owned it 15 days and have 125 hours in Immersed. Racked up a ton of Xbox and Demeo (VR tabletop game) hours too. I love it so much.

great vr headset. didn't want to spend big time apple money on theirs and meta offers a great set of features and apps. very sturdy, charges fairly quickly, and looks amazing in VR.

If the Matrix and a gaming PC had a baby and gave it a massive 512GB brain, you’d get the Meta Quest 3. This thing is wild. Strap it on and boom you’re slicing blocks, fighting robots, or attending a virtual work meeting in your pajamas (business on top, party in VR). The upgraded mixed-reality features let you see your room while still blasting aliens through your wall. It's like your living room became a holodeck. And with 512GB of space? That’s more than enough room for games, apps, and at least 17 rhythm games you’ll swear are "for cardio." It’s lighter, faster, and the graphics are crisp enough to make you question whether this is the real world or just another side quest. Bottom line: The Meta Quest 3 512GB is your one-way ticket to escaping reality just make sure you don’t walk into a wall while doing it.

After owning an AVP for a week before returning it, I was finally able to use a VR headset for what I originally needed… playing Xbox games remotely. I’ve played Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Smalland extensively, and it works beautifully. Very quick, zero lag except for an occasional hiccup every couple of hours from my WiFi router. After attempting to acclimate myself to the AVP’s tricky hand motion controls, using the Q3 controllers to navigate menus and controls was so much easier and precise. The only minus is not being able to remotely play at 1080p instead of 4k, but that’s a limit placed on remote gaming by Microsoft, not Quest. Even so, playing a video game on a virtual 100”+ screen is amazing. And it frees up our living room TV so my wife can use it for what she wants to watch while I’m gaming. There are a lot of other bonuses to owning the Q3, such as watching movies and 3-D content on a very-large, customizable, virtual screen. My only recommendation is to also purchase a charging station with rechargeable batteries for the controller… otherwise you’ll end up replacing alkaline batteries on a regular basis. And a storage/carrying case comes in handy, as well.

I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say it’s a game-changer. The graphics are noticeably sharper than its predecessor, and the mixed reality features blew my mind. I wasn’t expecting to feel this immersed, but the depth and detail pull you right in whether you’re exploring fantasy worlds or working out in your living room. Setup was easy and wireless freedom makes a huge difference. The redesigned controllers feel more natural in hand, and hand tracking is smoother than ever. I also love how lightweight and comfortable the headset is, even during longer sessions. Whether you’re gaming, watching movies, or experimenting with productivity apps, the Meta Quest 3 delivers. It’s the most fun I’ve had with tech in a long time. Highly recommend!

I’ve been playing on the Meta Quest 3, and it’s amazing. The headset is comfortable for long sessions, and the visuals are sharp and immersive. Games feel more alive than ever, with smooth performance and hand tracking that actually feels natural. I’ve been completely drawn into every world I’ve tried
