    AMAZING MIND BLOWING augmented reality

    The VERY FIRST time I put this headset on in the store to try it out, I was hooked! What was amazing is the 3D palpability and depth to what you see in front of you. The first time I queued up the Everest climb documentary, the first scene I felt my balance almost give out, and was reaching for the imaginary rock cliffs on the side of the trail! I am looking forward to using this for flight sim games for the real three-dimensional depth of field and immersion that it will give.

    So happy I made this purchase. I had the original before it was Quest...this is on a totally different level. The new lenses and display really set it apart. So many cool games and experiences to check out too! Thinking of getting another for the girlfriend and kids to get on and play with me. Downsides: headstrap and battery are lacking in my opinion. These were the first things I upgraded and hapy I did.

    My twin son got this for his birthday after his brother received one for Christmas. They were tied of sharing. He loves it and I don’t mind because at least it has them up moving around. Excellent quality, we bought the comfort head strap which seems to be more comfortable. If they have to okay video games, at least every are moving.

    I am thoroughly enjoying my time with the quest 3. So far the Mixed Reality feature, while a bit grainy in lower light, has proven to be a worth while addition. In fact, I truly wouldnt want to use another headset that does not incorporate pass through. Its a convenience, once used, youd always find a need for. Quick drink of water, bite of food, or even grabbing something you just set down is easily possible. Besides all this, the graphics do appear to be held back, when titles are targeting all headsets or both q2 and q3. This is something i imagine will subside once we get further into the Q3 generation. All these standalone features and you can still hook up to a PC for maximum graphical and processing output. I consider this device a win, in most areas and would argue that its definitely a worthwhile/ worth spending upgrade from the Q2. I hope it can attract enough of an audience such that VR gets more serious finacial backing and more intrest from our favorite IPs in gaming. To conclude: The quest 3 has me enjoying VR experiences, but has me looking forward to the future even more so.

    Everything looks so life like. The sound is great as well. I do wish the battery life was a bit better but with all of what it does, I understand why it doesn't last longer. This was actually a gift I bought for my husband but I use it more than him lol I really love the supernatural fitness app :D

      If you want to level up your gaming sessions, we would recommend grabbing a Quest Elite Strap with Battery, not only does it provide a more comfortable experience it also offers up to an additional 2 hours of gameplay! oculus

    upgraded from a quest 2, great product, love the color passthrough and much clearer screens. Is it night and day not really- you can tell its better but not leaps and bounds, it does run cooler, it feels lighter on my head and the controllers are not clunky large things like the quest 2 had. so far so good, would recommend the quest 3s to anyone wanting to get into the VR movement, maybe tell them quest 3 only if they have the money to blow. the only downside i have is the strap- it is a terrible mess for the price of this thing i expected better. 1st thing is buy a new strap- i got the battery swappable bobavr so it never dies. this strap on a 3s ok but not the full price of this thing. I also think $500 is a lot for this, at $400 i'd say its a great buy, $500 it's worth it if it had a better strap. Overall I love my headset. Great buy- wish it wasn't $500 plus a strap. I play a few Mixed Reality games (the inclusion of batman was the big seller on this purchase) and PCVR games wirelessly- mostly shooters and racing sims.

    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.

    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.

    The Meta Quest 3, developed by Meta, represents a significant advancement in virtual and mixed reality, offering improved graphical performance, greater processing power, and more immersive augmented reality features. It strikes a strong balance between cost and innovation, making it appealing for both entertainment and more advanced interactive experiences.

    I am not sure why, but I am playing this much more than I played my Quest 2. The FOV, the smoothness of the frame rates, the clarify in the lenses, all make for a much better experience. When the Q2 moved a bit on your head, you had to adjust it to get back to the sweet spot. I don't have that issue with the Q2, it's still a clear view and much more forgiving. I also don't find the head strap uncomfortable, and I am typically sensitive to things like that. It would be five stars but for a few issues- currently, the battery life isn't great. I resented to having to pay 1/3 more for the larger storage, it was an obvious cash grab, but I ended up just going all in, as it's something I am planning to use for the next 3-4 years. It was also lame how few new games made for the Q3 that were available at launch, but that's hopefully changing soon. All in all, I am very happy with it the Quest and it's ease of use- I think it's going to be a rough road for any head sets trying to steal market share over the next 2-3 years.

    I have long been a 3d and such tech aficionado and had the nvidia 3d vision way back in 1999 and then nvidia 3d vision in 2007 ish and bought PS VR in 2016 ish. nvidia 3d vision on a 3d projector was just insane. Playing older Steam games like Rainbow Six in 3d just made the gaming incredible on a 120" wall projected screen. I wanted to get into VR as well early but I got busy and also PS VR gave me a headache from the weight and moving the head around like a maniac will do that. So I avoided it after that even though it was great. Finally bought the Meta Quest 3 and it is incredible. It is obviously 3d and you get amazing depth perception and you feel like you're there like those old arcade games like Tank where you're standing and your head goes into that bowl and you look and move around standing there and shoot. However this is 100x better. Google Earth is just incredible and the best. Especially if you want to take a tour or visit your home or other places. Youtube VR is insane. Regular Youtube is also amazing. Obviously you can use it for those cheeky NSFW videos as well. The mixed reality with passthrough is just incredible you don't bump into things and you integrate the game into your room itself. That is something. We're truly nearing pinnacle of human civilization. Overall, Meta Quest 3 at $500 is the best buy. I would rate this a 9.5/10. The battery discharges super quick so I have a cable that allows charging while plugged into my gaming laptop from 2020 (nvidia gtx 2070m which does incredibly well).

    This is the best Quest ever. I have purchased all 3 as they came out and this one out shines the other two. Bigger lenses, more control over adjustments and good Augmented Reality. I say good as it is not perfect but still a lot of fun. You see your world in color but the camera image is a little grainy but when you are playing a game you forget about it. The resolution is a lot better than the Quest 2 and some games are being updated to the new resolution and look fantastic. The head strap it comes with is still not comfortable and I have ordered the Bobovr battery strap which I did for the Quest 2 and is very comfortable.

    The Quest 3 is honestly one of the coolest things I’ve bought in a long time. The clarity and performance feel like a huge jump forward compared to the older models. The passthrough feature is so clear that I can see my room without taking the headset off, which makes switching between real world and VR feel seamless. The 512GB storage gives me plenty of room for games and apps, and the whole thing is light and comfortable to wear. It’s become something I use for workouts, games, and even productivity apps. Just a really fun and impressive device all around.
