Customer Ratings & Reviews

This headset is amazing compared to the oculus 2! The screen and weight is much better and worth it. I’ve had this headset for almost two months and I’m still blown away by the graphics every time. Another reason that isn’t brought up a lot is the speakers on this new headset. The speakers are 2x better than the previous Oculus Headset. I hardly turn up the headset past 50% for volume because it’s that loud already. Worth it.

I remember being blown away when I first tried the Quest 2—it felt like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. I even rushed home early from work when it was delivered, and I was instantly hooked, spending hours in VR until motion sickness hit me. When the Quest 3 came out, I did tons of research and couldn’t resist the idea of a VR experience that’s clearer, smoother, lighter, and even more immersive. I bought mine from Best Buy and rushed home to dive in—and wow, it’s a huge upgrade! Everything I loved about the Quest 2 is better. The passthrough feature is a game-changer as well—I found myself wandering the house with floating screens in front of me (even parked one in the bathroom once, no joke). The Quest 3 is perfect for anyone wanting to feel completely immersed in incredible games and virtual environments. It’s fun, intuitive, and absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

My kids really do love the VR, they like playing on the VR more than they might plan on their PS five slim and there’s so many different things they can do on their that they do like not just playing video games watching stuff and doing another live things with their friends it’s a really fun educational just as well as playing on it it’s a lot of fun to my kids and I do appreciate that they came out with video hands on and it helps with them exercise just as well thank you so much.

This gift to my granddaughter is awesome! She was so surprised and happy that she got the one gift she wanted. The employees we spoke to in the Waxahachie store were very helpful in answering any questions we had about the Meta Quest Oculus. I still tear up when I remember how happy she was opening her gift. Thank you Best Buy, for giving this grandma an awesome memory!!

The product is significantly better than previous versions. The graphics are outstanding. The game library has finally caught up, providing much more variety. The cons to having great graphics in a standalone headset is what you’d expect. Product has a very short battery life, so I’d recommended purchasing the external battery as well.

This is, I think, the best standalone VR set for this price. Graphic is not bad and the mixed reality is very good. The game library is also a plus, there are so many games that you can play on this headset. One thing you might want to add to this headset is a conformable head strap.

So I’ve owned this device for about 3 weeks now, during the end of week 2 I encountered proximity sensor issues where it would like cut out because it wasn’t detecting my head or face or something. But they seem to have mostly gone away? If you’re using this for pcvr be aware that meta quest app on pc is TERRIBLE, sometimes it requires a complete pc restart to link to the quest via cable and it’s just tedious and annoying sometimes. The headset itself has good graphics quality in my opinion but also a not so good battery life, it lasts around maybe 2ish hours when not plugged in, but when plugged into my pc using pcvr it lasts for about 5 hours. Which is enough for me to enjoy. Standalone quest hasn’t given me any bugs so props there I guess, but this thing is tedious for pcvr through meta link app. 1 more thing the cable it comes with is not a link cable, I recommend finding a usb 3.0 plus cable on amazon recommended 16ft.

The mixed reality is a bit of a gimmick but still really fun. No occlusion, grainy MR image, and some warping when moving, but the few mixed reality games are fun and it looks considerably better the more well lit your environment is. As a VR headset however, it is FANTASTIC. Godly optics (best lenses on the VR market), can track controllers in low light (hand tracking not so much), a GPU that is noticeably twice as strong in standalone mode, and better wireless PCVR streaming. Upgrading from a Q2 is a no brainer, and it is honestly a better PCVR experience than most PCVR headsets other than maybe the Bigscreen Beyond and Varjo. With a cable, you can practically get a compressionless image. The standalone experience is now comparable to early PCVR days graphically. This really should have been the first VR headset released. This will be the one to get newcomers to really buy into the technology. The only things that it’s missing in my opinion are OLED panels, a displayport connection option, and a slighly more compelling Mixed Reality experience. Eye tracking would be nice too. Decinitely blows the Q2 and the Quest Pro (sorry pro investors) out of the water. If you are questioning if it is a worthwhile headset upgrade, yes, it is. I will probably never touch my index again even with the lower refresh rate. It is also worth mentioning that 120hz is not currently conventionally available on PC you have to use sidequest to enable it, but it works natively standalone. Honestly 90hz is enough with the improved optics and resolution. The image is crystal clear.

The Meta Quest is a great VR exerience. - With having access to a library of free games and many favorites like Beat Saber, Meta has a amount of fun to be had in whatever way you want to play. With its wireless accessibility it is convenient to use and store. - unlike the PS5 VR (which I own) it is not tethered to a wire. This means you have to be mindful where you play, but it also means that you can have an immersive experience. The wire, though not a horrible feature, can be a bother. The head latching could be more secure, but with the ability to buy other options, I am sure that anyone can find a way for it to suit their needs. - My daughter found herself having to adjust it reguraly as she played to make sure it did not slide down. I did not have this issues, but I am sure younger ones may have a similar issue. As mentioned prior, you can purchase an alternate band to suit your needs. Overall, I am happy with the perchase. It is a hit in the wallet, but its a very fun and worth the time if you have the extra change.

I tried my child's meta first. Well I'm hooked. I bought one. The graphics are wow. Its like you're there. Sound is great too. I'm normally not a gamer, but this changed it for me. It was a good buy for me.

The meta quest 3 is a very versatile VR Headset, not only can it function to “escape” life, it can also be used as a productivity headset, a gaming headset both standalone, and tethered for higher quality ajd performance vr gaming with PCVR/SteamVR, battery life on this platform is greatly increased from the Meta Quest 2. I highly recommend this as a affordable option for good quality VR.

Standard straps are painfull, but if you get a KIWI headband, it works like a charm. Worth it's money big time.

Truly appreciate the opportunity to explore Vr.. these goggles are great!

I love how easy it is to go into Best Buy explain the situation and they understand you and work with you. I purchased my first Meta Quest 3 and I noticed it was taking less than an hr. to charge it and nothing would load and the Meta button wouldn't work. And a couple times the game play would come up to start a game. I returned the Quest to Best Buy, explained what was happening and Best Buy was more than happy to replace my Quest 3 with a new one and the replacement Quest hasn't had any issues. Thank you Best Buy for making returns enjoyable and hassle free. I buy all of my electronics from Best Buy, my laptops, iPads, phones and gaming devices. Thank you Best Buy.

Bought for my son (11yr old). His metaquest 2 finally died. He loves it! So far, it has been reliable and worked with no issues! Controllers are smaller which is nice. Price is hefty. That would be the only negative thing i have to say about that.

Utterly amazing! From cool games to watching movies on giant screens in VR. Also the mixed reality is well worth it. A great upgrade from the Quest 2.

I am new to VR. I have not used controllers so I have to get used to them. But I am astounded by the things. The battery life is just ok. I have found some things make me motion sick and I lose my balance when standing. But I LOVE virtual tours. I spent most of my time looking at museums. Also the LEGO game is fun.

This is my first VR headset and I’m extremely happy with the experience the quality is amazing the set up was easy overall a great purchase and will highly recommend. Only thing that I will say is as a con is the battery life tend to die out fast when using dual virtual and the head strap wasn’t ideal should have had a better headstrap for the price ended up purchasing a BOBO strap w/ battery park.

I really recommend the Meta Quest 3! I have owned the Quest 1 and Quest 3. I recently upgraded to the Meta Quest 3. I am extremely satisfied with the VR experience and features that the Meta Quest 3 brings to the table. New titles are being offered along with mixed reality options.

After purchasing i was undecided on either the 128gb or the 512gb but after research and thinking decided to go with the 512 gb so i wouldnt have to be running out of memory overall its a great product way better than the quest 1 the games are great the visual are better than expected overall great product and doesnt seem to bother me after constant playing like other reviews way
