    We develop VR applications for land development proposals using LandMentor and Enscape3D within SketchUp. Both LandMentor and Enscape feature Plug & Play VR with support for a wide variety of headsets. For some reason the Meta Quest 2 did not work well with either software systems but the Meta Quest 3 is flawless and works very well with a leap above in resolution. The Mixed Reality also works well. For our needs the headset needs to be tethered. We did have the first headset fail (it went completely dead), but BestBuy replaced it quickly. Overall the meta Quest 3 is very nice, and it's more compact and light weight which is important when we travel. On the negative side the battery life is pitiful so we need to get a plan to keep it charged up.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As someone who’s deeply entrenched in the world of AR and VR, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with various headsets. But the Meta Quest 3 has been a revelation in my daily routine, both as a tool and a source of entertainment. Personal Experience: From the moment I put on the Meta Quest 3, the sense of immersion is unparalleled. The 512GB of storage means I can keep all my favorite apps and games close at hand. Whether I’m exploring new worlds, getting in a workout, or collaborating in virtual workspaces, the Quest 3 is my go-to device. Mixed Reality Magic: The mixed reality capabilities of the Quest 3 have transformed my living room into a portal to other dimensions. I’ve had jaw-dropping moments, like when a spaceship from my game seemed to land right on my coffee table, blending the real and the virtual seamlessly1. It’s these daily moments of awe that make the Quest 3 more than just a headset; it’s a window to endless possibilities. Fitness and Wellness: I’ve also integrated the Quest 3 into my fitness routine. Programs like Supernatural VR Fitness and the mixed-reality yoga app from Alo Moves have added a new layer of engagement to my workouts. It’s one thing to do a yoga pose; it’s another to do it atop a virtual mountain peak with the sunrise painting the sky2. Comfort and Design: The comfort of the headset is crucial for my extended use, and the Quest 3 doesn’t disappoint. Its design allows for longer sessions without the strain I’ve felt with other devices. And when it comes to aesthetics, the sleek white finish fits perfectly with my tech-centric decor. Daily Utility: Beyond gaming and fitness, the Quest 3 has become a staple in my daily life. I use it for virtual meetings, where the spatial audio makes conversations feel more natural. It’s also my preferred way to unwind, watching movies in a virtual theater that’s all my own. Final Thoughts: The Meta Quest 3 has not just met my expectations; it’s exceeded them. It’s a testament to how far VR and AR have come, and it excites me to think about where we’re headed. For anyone who lives and breathes this technology as I do, the Quest 3 is an essential piece of the future we’ve been dreaming of. Recommendation: Enthusiastically Yes If you’re serious about AR and VR, the Meta Quest 3 is a must-have. It’s a device that will grow with you, offering new experiences and becoming an integral part of your daily life. It’s not just about what it can do; it’s about how it makes you feel—like you’re stepping into the future every single day.

    This is my first true virtual reality experience. I am completely blown away. The immersive experience is absolutely unreal. I feel like I'm living in the future. I feel like Tony Stark. __________ One thing I was always worried about with a VR headset is being able to see around me. Well, the Meta Quest 3 put those worries to rest with the passthrough feature. With a simple double tap on the side of the header you can see your surroundings at any time. The menus float around you in passthrough, or you can just close them out, giving you the ability to look around as if you're practically wearing nothing. _________ In certain apps, you can also set up boundaries for yourself. This allows you to create your own virtual safe space. If you leave your safe space the area will highlight red alerting you that you are about to knock into an object that is outside your safe zone. __________ Another concern of mine and probably one of the major reasons I held off on getting a VR headset is I can't see anything without my glasses. Again, meta puts these worries to rest as you can comfortably wear the meta quest 3 with your prescription glasses. _______ The screen quality and what is being projected to you is fantastic. You really feel like you are in or at whatever you are immersed in. Whether that's traveling the world or playing games. You truly feel there. The field of view is incredible. _______ The sound is phenomenal as well. I feel it delivers a really great surround sound experience. Meta calls it spatial audio, I believe that means the audio/sound travels with you depending on how you turn your head and interact with the content your viewing/experiencing. ______ Some of the things I tested out. ______ Meta quest Tv - neat app. Had quite a lot of options of content to experience. Video based content. ______ Batman Arkham shadow - wow. What a fun game. The little bit of time I played was a blast. Being able to hold out my arms and see me in the bat suit was cool. It's a whole different way to enjoy video games. From beating up bad guys, throwing jabs, hooks, to lifting out my cape to glide off to areas where I need to get, it's fun pretending to be Batman. _______ Prime video- Tested out some TV shows and movie. It's really cool to be able to just lay back and watch some content. I'm looking forward to watching a full movie, specifically action or a sci-fi flick, to get a unique experience. _____ All in all, if you are looking into jumping into the VR landscape, this is the product for you. Go big or go home. This is a great all around entertainment device, with loads of content, from games, to movies, to exercise. There is something for the whole family to enjoy. I can't wait to dive deeper and utilize it with my PC.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Context for me: Millennial, 1st time buying VR headset, mass market consumer, previously owned major gaming consoles/PC games but not a "gamer." Pros: - Amazing visuals. If you're new to VR or have only experienced past gen level models, the visuals on the Quest 3 will likely leave you awestruck when you initially boot up. This was the distinguishing factor for me when comparing the Q3 to the Q3S even more than the storage, which I really don't need. - Passthrough mode. This allows you see through the lenses in the front so you can see your own room while also projecting content from the headset (ex. projecting a big screen playing YouTube videos in front of you while you're doing household chores). Easy to switch on and off. Really extends the use cases of the Q3. - Unique features NBA courtside games are fantastic - I think there are about 50 of them this year. Also opportunities to watch standup comedy and concerts designed specifically for VR. - Great sound The stock sound on the Q3 is more than good enough. No reason to purchase headphones, probably better in most cases that you don't. - Great controllers Love the dual controllers. Intuitive controls and the tracking is very responsive. Makes navigating the menus a lot easier than it could be. You can use your hands instead of the controllers, but I still prefer the controllers at this point. - Batman game is good I haven't finished it, but I think the included Batman game is fun/immersive and a good intro to VR gaming. Cons: - Value/Comfort If you're paying $500-700 for a VR headset, you probably don't want to also pay for a bunch of accessories to get the full Q3 experience. But the strap is so bad - unevenly distributes the weight of the headset on your head causing discomfort - and the fit will likely be uncomfortable for most glasses wearers. So be prepared to shell out for the elite strap ($70) or a 3rd party strap at least. This is just nonsense in my opinion and why I couldn't justify 5 stars. - Battery life The battery will last you less than 3 hours on one charge. This isn't a con for me personally, as I don't think it's great on the brain to be immersed in VR more than a few hours at a time. But if you're looking to be on this thing for 5+ hours, you'll have to buy yet more accessories. - Passthrough clarity. A lot of the videos you see online show the passthrough mode view of your room to a lot more clear than it actually is, which is a little grainy. Again, not a major con for me as I don't think making it indistinguishable would be great for the brain, but if you're expecting perfect clarity you'll be disappointed. TLDR: If you're a mass market consumer interested in VR and can afford the price, you won't go wrong with the Q3, provided you're ok with the possibility you'll have to shell out more $ to really enjoy it.

    The Meta Quest 3 is a game-changer! The upgraded visuals are stunning, and the performance is super smooth, even in demanding games. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and the mixed reality passthrough adds a whole new level of immersion. Backward compatibility with Quest 2 games is a huge bonus. Easily one of the best VR headsets out there! Highly recommend!

The graphics are a huge step up, everything looks sharp and clear, and the mixed reality feature is awesome. Being able to see my surroundings while still interacting with virtual objects feels like something out of the future.

    The Meta Quest 3 512GB is a big step forward in standalone VR. It offers sharp, vibrant visuals, improved mixed-reality passthrough, and great performance thanks to its new Snapdragon chip. The larger storage is perfect for heavy gamers and media users, so you won’t have to constantly delete apps. Comfort is better than past models, and the new Touch controllers feel more natural. Battery life is around 2–3 hours, which is standard for VR headsets. Overall, it’s an impressive, all-in-one system that feels future-ready. If you want the best Quest experience without worrying about running out of space, the 512GB model is worth it.

    My 10-year-old son was very happy to get an upgrade from the Quest 2. He likes that the Quest 3 has more storage, and the graphics are better plus its smaller and lighter. He says the passthrough has color which makes the game more fun. He like the controllers because they are easier and better to hold and make the mixed reality better to play. He likes that the headset can track his hand and the front headset is much cooler than the Quest 2. He was very happy to get the Quest 3 for Christmas and said that Meta did there thing in making Quest 3 and he is happy and enjoying his upgrade. Thank you

    I was blown away by how immersive and sharp the graphics are — games and mixed reality experiences look great, and the headset itself is lighter and more comfortable than I expected. It’s really fun to use right out of the box and doesn’t need a PC to run most titles. That said, the battery doesn’t last super long and a few reviewers mention motion sickness or discomfort after longer sessions, plus some folks have had frustrating experiences with customer service when things go wrong. All in all, if you want one of the best standalone VR headsets for the price, it’s worth considering, but be ready for a few trade-offs.

    Diving headfirst (quite literally) into the Meta Quest 3 512GB in pristine white has been a game-changer for my downtime and productivity alike—it's like having a portal to another dimension strapped comfortably to my face. Released back in 2023 but still dominating the VR scene in 2025, this headset nails the balance of standalone power and mixed reality magic, especially with that sweet 3-month Meta Horizon+ trial thrown in for endless content exploration right out of the box. The white finish is sleek and modern, resisting fingerprints better than I'd expected and pairing effortlessly with my minimalist setup. At 515 grams, it's lightweight enough for marathon sessions—I've clocked hours in Beat Saber or Asgard's Wrath 2 without neck strain, thanks to the adjustable elite strap (which I upgraded to for extra comfort). The pancake lenses deliver pancake-level crispness: 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye with a 110-degree horizontal field of view that feels expansive yet immersive, no god rays or distortions in sight.

    I recently purchased the Meta Quest 3 (512GB) from Best Buy, and it has completely blown me away. As someone who’s used previous VR headsets, this one truly feels like a leap forward. The mixed reality features are incredible — the clarity, responsiveness, and immersion are unmatched. The 512GB storage is perfect for loading up on games and apps without worrying about running out of space. The bonus Batman: Arkham Shadow game was the cherry on top. Playing as Batman in a rich VR environment is everything you’d hope for — thrilling, immersive, and just plain cool. The headset itself is super comfortable, even during longer sessions, and the updated design feels sleek and modern. Setup was straightforward, and I had everything up and running in minutes. A huge shoutout to Best Buy for the smooth buying process. Delivery was fast, and the packaging was secure. Overall, if you’re considering upgrading your VR experience or diving in for the first time, the Meta Quest 3 is absolutely worth it. 5/5 stars!

    I used to have the HTC Vive. The metaquest is amazing because you don't have to use any of the extra sensors. It's all in the headset. I also like how I can connect it to my computer so I can play my computer. VR games. The quest itself is a great product and I love playing games in my friend on it. Also, the jump from the old HTC Vive to the meta quest was a huge resolution in quality improvement. But I do realize the HTC Vive was a very old VR headset. I just wish the battery life was a bit stronger on the metaquest. But I bought a extra battery kit and headpiece which made the product even better.

    Works great! It is lighter than Quest 2. The pass through is a significant increase from Quest 2. It does have VR and Mixed reality. I'm not sold on mixed reality as i like being submerged in full VR while I'm working out and playing games. It charges and updates at the same time but i have had to manually update as well. I'm told this will improve as the Quest 3 updates come out. The graphics are decibel a improvement. I bought the 512 so i won't have to worry about future functionality as games update to the Quest 3

    The Meta Quest 3 (512GB) is a game-changer in standalone VR and mixed reality. From the moment you put it on, the full-color passthrough and depth-sensing technology create an immersive MR experience that blends digital elements with your real surroundings. It’s powered by the new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, and paired with a stunning 4K+ display—each eye gets 2064 x 2208 resolution, with support for 120Hz refresh rate, making everything sharp and fluid. The 512GB storage is a huge win, letting you install tons of games, apps, and experiences without worry. The controllers feel refined, with haptics and precise tracking, and hand tracking has improved dramatically—you can navigate menus and play games without even picking up a controller. It’s also lighter and slimmer than Quest 2, with an updated face interface that’s more breathable and comfortable for longer sessions. Spatial audio is built in and feels dynamic and directional. Plus, it supports Wi-Fi 6E, so cloud gaming and downloads are faster than ever. The headset still works great with PC VR via Link or Air Link, but it’s powerful enough to run the best standalone VR apps too. One of the best parts is the included 3-month trial of Meta Horizon+, which unlocks access to a huge library of games and social features right away. The Guardian system is smart and reliable, and the room scanning features make setting up mixed reality experiences super easy. It works for everything from fitness and gaming to remote work and social VR, and supports multiple users, cloud saves, and voice commands. The controllers are redesigned, more compact and ergonomic, and the headset charges via USB-C. Whether you’re new to VR or upgrading from Quest 2, the Meta Quest 3 delivers serious performance, intuitive design, and a deep catalog of immersive experiences. It’s ready for the future of spatial computing—and makes it incredibly fun to explore.

    I'm crazy about my new Oculus headset and use it several times a week. I'm not a big gamer, but that doesn't matter because I'm enjoying old-school pastimes like billiards and pinball, I'm working out, and I'm watching video. I've purchased prescription lens inserts from Zenni to go with it, and they snapped right in with no trouble. The resolution in this headset is way better than that of the Meta Quest 2, and mixed reality is my new favorite feature. I highly recommend MR games, especially if you have pets or small children running through your field of play. I worried I was spending too much for something I might not use, but that turns out not to have been a problem. I'm getting my money's worth.

    I've owned several VR headsets over the years, but the Meta Quest 3 blows everything else out of the water. From the moment I turned it on, I could tell this was something special. The visual clarity is incredible — sharp, vibrant colors with almost no screen door effect. The upgraded resolution and faster processor make everything feel smoother and more immersive than ever. Setup was fast and super intuitive, even for someone new to VR. What really surprised me was how comfortable it is. It's noticeably lighter than previous models, and the adjustable straps make it easy to find the perfect fit. Mixed reality is where the Meta Quest 3 really shines. Being able to interact with both virtual and real-world elements seamlessly is mind-blowing. I’ve used it for gaming, fitness, and even productivity apps — and it handles everything flawlessly. Battery life is solid, the controllers feel great in hand, and the game library keeps growing with impressive titles. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or just curious about VR, this is hands down the best standalone headset available right now. Highly recommend the Meta Quest 3 — it's not just a gadget, it's an experience. Worth every penny.
