Customer Ratings & Reviews

FIRSTLY BEFORE START, NO FACEBOOK REQUIRED!! That’s right!! NOOOO FACEBOOK is neither required nor needed to use the Quest 3. You can link them if you’d like or you can just simply use your email address to sign up and go full solo. I was hesitant to ever buy any Meta Quest but was just so happy to see FB wasn’t needed. Now onto my review. I was pleasantly surprised by the Meta Quest 3 when I first turned it on. I’ve owned a PSVR for the PS4 Pro for many years now and have highly enjoyed it. While the Quest 3 does not exceed the visuals and fidelity of the psvr it does a great job of introducing you in the world of VR and AR/MRA. I purchased a few games as it had a good Christmas sale going. Asgards Wrath is fun and intuitive. Assassin’s Creed does nice giving you a good view of the world of AC. Music games are a wonderful flashback to Guitar Hero and the like as I have really missed that era. All without the need for extra plastic peripherals. And Mixed Reality games such as First Encounter which is free coming with the device showcases how clean and clear the front cameras are to the outside world and in. Battery life is what you’d expect, 2-3 hours. I use the headset on my bed the most because it can be hard to move from time to time standing up for myself and other medical conditions. In this case I have a long 10ft cable I currently use for my tablet and phone. Works well with my quest. I think it’s a 30 watt charger brick. It’s able to keep my device charge as I use it at the same time whenever I’m playing music games with my arms or watching YouTube VR and other video streaming apps. NEGATIVES: so if you’ve never used an Oculus Rift S, Steams VRs or PlayStation VR 1 and/or 2 you’ll have absolutely no idea how narrow the Quest is in comparison. For that reason you’ll be fine. If you have used the others as I have then it’ll instantly be obvious. The Quest is a little more akin to looking through binoculars. The immersive-ness isn’t as “you’re inside another world” as the psvr. It will take awhile of you actually playing the Quest 3 for it to hit as your brain adjusts to the differences. LCD LENS- the lens are lcd. When you’re in psvr and a game is loading or has a black background you’ll feel it. You’ll feel the depth and you’ll see what looks like the device being off (when loading) because of psvr OLED tech. It’s beautiful. The lcd on the Quest 3 can break immersion at times when it does use things such as the darkness in horror games. On the other hand the brightness is great and provides a nice view and color for anime and brighter media. And lastly just a few things to touch up on. The psvr had a straight view, but looking around you can see the lens abit blurry (if you’ve played it you’ll know what I mean). On the oculus rift 2 it has that “door” effect. The Quest 3 has none of these issues. It’s clean, it’s clear and has no window door effect nor blur around the edges. My only wish is for the next models to use OLED. It would make it sooooooo much better. I’d also like for a bigger view. The controls work perfect. The switching between VR in view and your outside surroundings is a quick switch. Cameras are clean. It can record anything you see and play which is a plus. It can track your hand movements. And it can also track via just pointing through your headset view and tapping the Volume button when it notices your controls or hands aren’t in view (switches to a white dot reticle inside your view). It can cast to your phone and chromecast. Records and screenshots automatically sync to your phone app. I have yet to try the pc air sync yet but I’ve read that it works well. And as for sound…..the Audio is excellent! I couldn’t believe how loud and bass heavy the built in audio was. All in all, a must buy for anyone wanting to get into VR. It is head and above the Quest 2. I’m pretty impressed even after owning a psvr and Rift S for years. Yes, it won’t match those but for what it is doing it truly is very, very well. And by the by, I have the 512gb model and currently used about 200gb which is more than the 128gb model. If you plan to use a few games 128 is enough. If you’re like me and are very crazy with downloading many games, videos (quest 3 has videos you can actually download to the storage and even upload to library for offline viewing which takes up space) AND recording sessions then go 512 as you can not add an sd card or any storages. Asgard Wrath 2 by itself is very large and THE largest game. 40ish gb. The other games are all less than 10gb. Assassins creed I want to say was between 10-20gb. So if you’ve been holding out, now is the time. And no Facebook? Highly, highly recommend the Meta Quest 3! (Thank you for reading and apologies if I may be out of order as I’m typing as I’m thinking. But I hope it helps someone’s decision as I used my personal experience thats often further in difference from a typical, casual user)

This amazing! Only downside is the battery that could last longer but other than that totally worth it.

The Meta Quest 3 is an amazing VR headset with stunning visuals, smooth performance and an immersive experience. It's easy to use, powerful, and perfect for gaming, fitness and entertainment. A huge upgrade.

I loved my Meta Quest 3. There are some really good games and some really bad ones, but I didn't buy it to play games; I bought it to exercise, and it's incredibly good for that. There are several apps for exercising, but I'm using one called Supernatural. At first, I thought it was just a game, but as the days go by, I feel the exercise in my body. It's really helping me improve my fitness; it's becoming addictive. The best VR headset I've ever tried, value for money. I've had both the PlayStation and Apple VR headsets. I don't know why the PlayStation ones make me dizzy and nauseous. The Apple ones are good. I can't say otherwise, but they're not worth the price. I don't experience any dizziness or discomfort with the Meta Quest 3 headset, even after extended periods of use of two or more hours. You need to purchase an additional battery; they're much more comfortable to wear and adjust, and the battery lasts twice as long.

Great product and smooth experience. The item works exactly as expected and feels well made. Setup was quick and easy, and delivery was fast. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable product from Best Buy.

Pro: The Meta Quest 3 stands out amongst its competitors as being a fully wireless VR experience without compromising performance. It even directly competes eith Apples Vision Pro with its spatial computing abilities. Cons: Passthrough camera is very grainy and low quality, would like to see an improved spatial camera and bigger battery life next iteration. Overall, would recommend to anyone wanting to get into VR but might intimidated by all the options, you wont be disappointed with the Meta Quest 3

Had a quest 1 and wanted to try some new games, upgraded to the quest 3. Much faster, better graphics, and lighter. Only downside are the controls feel more slick and smooth making them more likely to slide out of your hand compared to the first gen controllers.

Alot more comfortable than the quest2. Runs alot smoother and has gear resolution, the safe boundaries are alot more intuitive. The only complaint i have is the spacer that is keeps your face away from the lenses tends to pop out when putting it on, it's easy to pop back in just a tad annoying

Absolutely love my Quest 3. Clearer picture than the Quest 2 and easily adjustable PD. The augmented reality games are very fun as well! Definitely a very good choice for a budget VR headset and can also be used to play PCVR using a cable designed for that much data transfer.

2nd iteration in VR for me. This is a great place to start if you have no experience, and worth the upgrade if you have a previous generation. The passthrough is worth every bit of the upgrade. I use it mainly as a at home big screen movie theater when the kids are in the man cave, but opted for the larger storage due to increasing size and quality of apps coming out.

Ive really enjoyed the quest 3. This was my first own virtual reality headset, and it really met all my expectations. I dabbled with the play station vr 1 before but with all the wires and set up, it was a little mehh. With this headset you dont need a tv or any wires to play. Theres also so many games that you can download from the meta store that will keep you entertained for hours. I ended up getting the 512gb version just to make sure i can download a lot of games, honestly i think i wouldve been good with the 128gb version. One thing id say is to purchase a 3rd Party headstrap with a battery. In my use of the headset, i notice it dies within 2 hours of gaming. Overall this was a great purchase and ill be enjoying it for years to come.

This is the best purchase I have ever made. I’m over 50 years old and decided to try it for fun. I now use it for working out daily and it is awesome. It also helps me relax when I am stressed from working all day. I definitely recommend this product.

My son was so excited to receive the new Quest 3. He raved about how much better the graphics are and the overall experience is from his previous Oculus. To see the smile on his face and watch him enjoy the upgrade made it totally worth the price!

Best VR headset for both new and experienced users. It’s a great upgrade over the Quest 2, with much better clarity and detail. Feels less “front-heavy”. It’s also more powerful so you can take advantage of the graphics updates on many games and any Quest 3 exclusives. The color mixed reality passthrough is amazing compared to the grainy black and white passthrough of the Quest 2. Highly recommend.

Product works great on its own but wish it had better battery life

If you are only interested in PCVR save yourself a little money and get the 128GB model, but if you are looking to see what standalone VR can be like, the quest 3 is the new kid on the block, and has all its bases covered, good enough pass through cameras to actually navigate a room and understand what you are looking at. (Better lighting better pass through experience) More power than previous headsets including the Pro, released less than a year ago. Depth sensor that helps with setting up playspace and makes the pass through experience even better as you actually have a sense of distance unlike some headsets flat passthrough. Included strap is still bad, less bad than the quest 2 but still bad. And battery life is just shy of 2hours on average. It’s also more power hungry, so you will want a higher output battery pack than you used with the quest 2. Something with PD 3 that can output better than 18 watts is the way to go if you want to meaningfully extend your battery life. New controllers are great, no more rings, but the pro controllers would be better with their self tracking. Pancake lenses make a world of difference, I’ll be using this over my other headsets unless valves deckard comes out with the same kind of lenses and similar or better screens. Might jump ship for that. But this exists now, and that’s an unannounced unconfirmed datamined pipe dream.

I came from the Quest 2 and after owning it for a few weeks, it suffered the fate of collecting dust for months on emd between usage. The Quest 3 is a massive improvement and game changer. The passrheough has enabled me to use it daily with out fail, and the improved lens and resolution make content clear and crisp. I say almost there, because the quality of the passthrough just needs a tiny bit better resolution and clarity. With that said it is still clear enough to read my phone screen, wash the dishes, and overall navigate my surroundings! A must have if its your first VR headset!

The Meta Quest 3 really took gaming to a whole new level!!! The more I explore, the more my mind gets blown! It's really an experience that everyone should try out for themselves! Mixed reality games really gives you the best of both worlds and will have you wanting more! Highly recommend!!!

I am disabled veteran who is very much into VR/AR/MR scene. This headset is definitely the best of them all yet in the short description. Itdoes everything better, for the lower price than Q2 Pro version. I could only point out two flaws in its design. No upper area dedicated tracking cameras (why oh why Meta?). You wouldn't think it is trivial matter to this space magic, but look at the games like The Thrill of Fight and notice such epic titles have no pure hand tracking in it. Why? That's due tothe fact that Q3 cameras are designed (at least at currecnt update) for controller tracking algorithms and not for hand tracking to save costs. If they added upper part cameras like on quest 2this would of probably had been the first true hands only vr headset in history with everything already going for it besides the flaw No.2 that hits it at 1 star. - The battery life on Quest 3 is really bad due to how much energy is required for those amazing graphics and amazing new features. The internal batter of Q3 at most will last you about an hour and half and about the same length with highly overpriced Meta elite strap, at about the same length as intense gaming on Quest 2 with no external battery. The best solution for this is unfortunately have multiple external swappable batteries or something like Bobovr headset that can swap external batteries on the fly.

My son kept insisting on purchasing this item for his birthday, well he finally got it & he loves it! The graphics are amazing the only down fall is the battery life. It drains fast so be ready to chatge it frequently. Other than that its a good item.
