    I think that the meta-quest 3S is a very decent device. It is not nearly as heavy as it looks. It actually runs very smoothly. Battery life on it is small, but not terrible. It does have the ability to where you can wear glasses while you play or use it.

      Hello Brian, thank you for you for your kind comment.

      We are so happy to see you are enjoying your new Meta Quest 3S. We hope that you can create many happy memories and enjoy the smoothest possible gameplay with your Meta device.

      As for the mixed reality you are enjoying so much. This is because the Meta Quest 3S has 2 RGB cameras with 18 PPD for 4.5 times better pass-through resolution, in full color, compared to Quest 2. Delivers high-fidelity views of your surroundings while you see virtual objects appear in your physical space. Depth and room mapping using advanced AI and computer vision gives you freedom to move throughout your space and interact with virtual characters or objects in the room around you.

      Thank you again for your review, we try our hardest to excite and please all of our customers. We hope to see you in the Metaverse soon! oculus

    I absolutely love it!! There are tons of apps. From working out and dancing to playing virtual games. The experience is so real. I could have never imagined something like this. I checked all different stores and apps and Best Buy had hands down the best product for the absolute hands down best deal. Fast shipping. Excellent experience.

    I have had the Quest 3 for a number of months and have immensely enjoyed the games with my entire family. We needed another headset to play games together so I purchased the 3s. They have made it easy to get set up accounts to play together. Both headsets are easy for me as an adult and can easily change to my 7 year old to play. The graphics are still very clear and immersive reality game are great! I would highly recommend this unit to decrease the cost from the Quest 3 and still have great resolution. I can tell the 3 is better while starting a pixels but once you start playing you cant tell the difference really. No lagging in the games from processor speed or issues so far. I bought an upgraded head strap with battery and we can double our play time with a much more secure fit.

      That's what we love to hear Ryan!

      There's not much that comes close to jumping into your favorite worlds, whether it fantasy or dystopian, there's nothing quite like explore the vast expanses of the Metaverse!

      We do our best to make sure everyone in the family can take part and get the true experience VR has to offer without having to go all out on a device like the Meta Quest 3. The Meta Quest 3S features the same mixed reality experience as Quest 3, with 4.5 times the resolution and color compared to Quest 2, all so virtual objects come to life in the room around you in high-definition resolution.

      We aim to make Immersive experiences feel real, with brilliant color and rich surround sound, we are glad that our efforts haven't gone unnoticed and it gets even better when you connect your Meta Quest 3 and 3S to a PC. If you have not tried PCVR yet Ryan, you're in for a treat!

      There's infinite possibilities in the Metaverse, and getting an upgraded strap and battery pack will let you explore for longer, we're sure you can't wait to jump back in and we'll see you there!

    My first VR headset - and I have to say, this thing is pretty impressive. (Maybe not that impressive, but I'd have to compare it with another VR headset, once I have the opportunity to.) The Batman game is also pretty unique, although I haven't finished it yet. But Beat Saber is my jam - probably the only reason why I still use it in the first place. Oh, that and watching YouTube videos - movies hit different in a theatrical setting. (There's also a more mature reason for it, but we'll talk about that upon request.)

    This thing is so worth it for $300 it’s so good, and the free game that comes with is so fun, the 3 months of meta quest plus works, and this is one of my best purchases and it’s basically the meta quest 3, theirs just a little bit of differences. I’m in love with my vr and I’m sure you would be in love with it to. All the games are so fun and here’s some recommended free games you should get, gorilla tag, rec room, scary baboon, Orion drift, and animal company. Now these are the games that I recommend you to buy, bone lab, job simulator, beat saber, and the newest version of creed. If you buy it i know your gonna have fun.

    The Meta Quest 3 is a major upgrade from its predecessor, offering a sleek design, improved comfort, and cutting-edge performance. It’s a must-have for both new and seasoned VR enthusiasts. Design & Comfort: Lighter and more comfortable than the Quest 2, the Quest 3 features improved weight distribution and soft padding for longer gaming sessions. Display & Performance: With a sharper 2064 x 2208 resolution per eye and a 120Hz refresh rate, the visuals are vibrant and smooth. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2, it handles demanding VR games effortlessly and supports PC VR gaming via Oculus Link. Battery Life: You can expect around 2-3 hours of playtime, with fast charging for longer sessions. Controllers & Tracking: The new Touch Plus controllers are more ergonomic and feature enhanced tracking and haptic feedback, making interactions feel more realistic. Mixed Reality: A standout feature, the Quest 3 blends virtual reality with the real world, creating an immersive experience with augmented reality. Value: Priced higher than the Quest 2, the Quest 3 justifies its cost with superior visuals, performance, and features, making it perfect for newcomers and VR veterans alike. Final Verdict: The Meta Quest 3 is a game-changing VR headset that offers unmatched performance, comfort, and immersive visuals. Highly recommended for anyone serious about virtual reality.

    The Quest 3S 128GB is a solid headset for jumping into VR. It’s comfortable, easy to set up, and runs games smoothly. For casual gaming or first-time users, it does the job well. But the Quest 3 offers sharper visuals, faster performance, and more features. If you can stretch your budget, going for the Quest 3 is definitely the better long-term choice.

    A wonderful budget headset that balanced out price and performance. If you’re looking for a cheaper entry to the new generation of Quests, I don’t think you’ll ever be disappointed. The lenses are not as great as the Quest 3, and the resolution is slightly lower resolution, but having the same processor means you’re still getting the same graphics as the original Quest 3. And for $200 cheaper? This is a perfectly viable option if you’re not willing to drop more on a headset. The only issue I have with this headset is the same issue I had with the previous Quest; no matter what you, the included strap will never sit perfectly, but for the price, it’s easy to overlook

    Incredible VR Experience – A Must-Have for Batman

    Batman: Arkham Shadow completely blew me away! The immersion is insane—stepping into Gotham City in full VR made me feel like I was the Dark Knight. The graphics are crisp, the combat feels smooth and intense, and the story keeps you hooked. This is easily one of the best uses of the Meta Quest 3’s capabilities. If you’re a fan of Batman or just want a top-tier VR experience, this game is a no-brainer. Totally worth it!

    Being in my 50s I wondered if this would get me back into “some” gaming. I was also having a double back surgery so I needed something to occupy my time. Glad I did too. From VRFishing to Mini & Reular Golf, IndyCar, Traveling.. turned it into an theatre scree which is pretty incredible. Sound is really good and plenty loud. Since I’ve be out of gaming since god knows how long, this was an easy enough transition. Oh and bowling. Lots of fun. Now, in saying all of this purchase the extra attached battery head strap. You’ll be sorry you didn't but very glad you did. Tons of models on Amazon for those straps, however, my son and I got ours at Best Buy at the same time as the 3S
