Customer Ratings & Reviews

When VR was announced I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever heard. Who will want a mini tv strap around their face and stand up to play. Boy was I WRONG. This is a game changer. I actually stream my pc to the VR and play there instead of my actual monitor. The quality is better. I can Bluetooth my xbox controller to the headset. Watching movies is also a game changer it actually looks more 4k than my tv. Playing actual VR games are fun but you need good space for some games. Like sword games because you will swing your arms and hit the wall or something. The VR changes your perspective in games and they do feel a bit more realistic. You can also watch VR videos in the metaquest media and it is different than watching just a video. Everyone should try VR. I would say start slow at first to avoid motion sickness. Use it 20min no more the first 2 weeks till you get use to

Pretty incredible! However, for Meta to not include a comfortable head strap with the purchase of a $500+ product is the equivalent to serving a Thanksgiving meal of exclusively turkey with no gravy and zero side dishes. The battery runs out very fast as well, so expect to spend an additional $120+ on Meta’s ‘Elite Strap with Battery’ so that you can comfortably enjoy your product and also extend the battery life to a reasonable length of time.

Fairly easy to set up on pc with reasonable technical skills. I have enjoyed playing games, watching youtube music videos, and some educational applications. Meta Quest 3 is truly fantastic for Elite Dangerous with the throttle, pedals, and joystick. This was my primary motivation for the purchase. I do like the fact that you can download directly to the Meta Quest 3 and detach from the PC. Two strong recommendations. 1. get the 512gb. If you cant afford it, save up and then get it. 2. Get as usb 3.2 cable that allows you to play and charge simultaneously for PC usage. A regular usb c to your pc will charge but not fast enough to play and keep up with the draw on battery. You will need to plug your usb c into an outlet. The cables are designed to do this. I have not used the cable while moving, as I sit in a chair for Elite, so I dont know how that works. Otherwise I get about 1.5 hrs on Elite before stopping to recharge. enjoy.

The quest 3 really good. The lenses have a higher field of view than the quest 2. You get better colors from the lenses. You can do 120 fps on it, and it’s more powerful than the quest 2. The pass through to be able to see the real life space around you is like a night and day difference. With higher resolution on most games and more stable frames, I feel the quest 3 is a worthy upgrade.

Easy set up and loads of fun free games made this the perfect gaming system especially to connect with my grandsons. It has zero lag yet I’m not tethered to a computer, altrhough I have found my left controller disconnects often and now I’m having issues with my in-game microphone. Customer support is pretty good but we’ll see how they handle this situation. The comfort of their headset takes time because it’s a new sensation. The straps are adjustable so once you find the right fit you can wear it for hours with little to no discomfort. It will get sweaty so sharing it is not ideal unless you use something to protect your face. The battery is pretty good, it lasts about 3-4 hours (depending on the game) and it charges back up quickly. I found standing on a small rug in the middle of my boundary prevents mishaps as I found myself physically moving. I also figured out that easing in with 10-15 min per use and building up extended my ability to play longer without feeling nauseous afterwards.

Here is the deal, in not so many words.. we are talking the best version of mobile VR. I've tried the HTC vive. I've tried the PSVR 1 & 2, this takes all the cake. The way they use the full screen to go from one site to the other and make it so no fringing happens in the edges is game changer. The weight can be something if a manage but if you get the update headband with battery aftermarket this was the way to go. The operation flawless if you have ever operated a RV this can be somewhat tedious,not with the Meta quest 3. Now we went with the 3 because the 3S did not have the same firepower, the battery was better but if you're spending the money get the 3. In conclusion you don't have to mess with stuff here, the MQ3 is by far the easiest to use. Don't waste time get going, this is it!

Absolutely love this VR headset! The setup was fast and beginner-friendly, and the tracking is incredibly accurate. The screen is bright and clear, and the sound quality is much better than I expected. I’ve been using it for games, fitness apps, and watching movies — everything feels smooth and immersive. The controllers are comfortable to hold and respond instantly. Overall, this device has added a lot of fun to my daily routine. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great VR experience.

I bought the Meta Quest 2 in April “24 because it was on sale and I just fell in love with it. So much so that I had to buy the Meta Quest 3 eight months later (Dec “24) and it does not disappoint. After playing games and watching videos on VR, it’s hard to go back to the old consoles on my TV although I still do, I prefer VR above all the rest. Meta Quest 3 does not disappoint and the clarity compared to the 2 is so much more clear. There’s still a slight blur to some things, but you can see a whole lot more detail now. Controls are much more smooth and responsive and it’s a lot nicer not having those big bulky rings on the controllers. Overall, I love it and to me it was worth every penny. *I strongly recommend getting a replacement head strap right away and grips for the controllers. The stock strap is still horrible (front heavy) like on the the two. The pictures I share will have both of those upgrades.

Recently, my 10-year-old son accidentally broke his VR controller. Fortunately, I had purchased Best Buy’s protection plan, and the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in, the customer service team was professional, courteous, and efficient. The claim was processed quickly, and the replacement was handled without any hassle. What could have been a stressful and expensive issue was resolved with ease. This experience reaffirmed the value of Best Buy’s protection plan. It not only saved money but also provided peace of mind and ensured my son could continue enjoying his VR without interruption. I highly recommend the plan to any parent or gamer—it’s an investment that truly pays off. ⸻ Would you like me to merge both styles into one review that’s upbeat and fun but still polished enough to post on Best Buy’s site?

I like the clarity and relative ease if use. I had some challenges with the initial setup, but they quickly passed. Navigating the user interface can be a learning curve. I wear eyeglasses and they accommodated them fine. There's a lot to explore, and I'll definitely be using this for a lot more than just games. A fine product at a decent price. I'd prefer the ability to expand storage, but the 512 is ample for most. Make certain to get a better charger with a longer cord as the battery life is notoriously short.

The meta quest 3 is powerful but takes more battery life! 100 percentage is about equivalent to 100 minutes! The strap isnt the best but you can get a 3rd party one with battery to extend your play time

I’m a big fan of the Meta Quest, and the Quest 3 takes things to the next level. It features a sharper display, a wider field of view, and adjustable IPD, making the experience incredibly immersive and fun. The graphics are stunning, and the level of detail in every game I’ve played is seriously impressive. One of the coolest features is the dedicated “Theater Mode,” which transforms any space into your own personal cinema. It’s perfect for watching movies, and you can stream from popular services like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV, and Prime Video right from the browser. That said, the Quest 3 is on the pricey side, and the storage capacity feels a bit limited for the cost. Plus, the amount of mixed reality content available still leaves a lot to be desired.

Absolutely loving my Oculus Quest 3. The visuals are super clear, the tracking feels spot-on, and it makes every game way more immersive than I expected. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND!! Easily one of my favorite gadgets I've bought in a long time, and i've had every quest vr, by far the best worth the money.

Awesome Graphics and games. The battery life is about 2.5 hrs but you can get the aftermarket strap w charger and 2 extra batteries to play all day. We love it.

I picked this up for iRacing to get better SIM Racing immersion, it was the right move. It did take some software adjustments to get just right, and a powerful GPU to look sharp, but Quest 3 is a game changer for SIM racing! I did play Resident Evil and some other Mixed reality games as well, and I would say the quality of the Quest 3 makes the experience far less gimmicky and provides a good experience compared to the Quest 2 and other VR headsets. Very usable and comfortable!

The MQ3 has great graphics and controls for VR but not suire if its for me. This is my first VR unit and while it is very cool and way better than i was expecting i found a few things that i dont like. The first is the headset comfort. It is lighter than expected and the weight is not an issue but no matter what headstrap/mount i use my face hurts after about 35 mins and then i start to feel sick. The second is related to overall VR gaming, i tend to casually game at the end of my day (work+gym) or when i am sick and on the couch. I have found that i dont really want to put a VR headset on and move around a bunch at these times and would rather just use my PC which has better resolution and graphics.

This is a great productivity tool for someone who would like to work in a virtual environment. I know this is a gaming platform, but I primarily use it for school classes and productivity in a virtual environment as a OTR trucker to feel like my environment is more comfortable so I can be more productive. I also think VR mods are really cool and would recommend to Portal 2, Red dead redemption, and cyberpunk 2077 in VR

My son requested this for his 13th bday. He already had a quest for Christmas 2023 but he wanted this newer version. He is very happy with it. Plays daily. Even in the car on rides. He thinks it’s much better graphics than the previous version. It was a great purchase even though we tried to convince him to do the 3s lol. He wasn’t going for that so we bought the one he wanted. Would recommend.

Very happy with this purchase. The graphics are fantastic and exceed my expectations. My only gripe is the battery life.

The Meta Quest 3 (512GB) has significantly boosted our lab’s immersive capabilities, enabling us to simulate and experience virtual environments with high clarity and responsiveness. Its large storage and improved processing power make it perfect for handling complex VR models used in infrastructure and environmental simulations. The battery doesn't last more than 2.5 hours though.
