    The Meta Quest 3 has been a fantastic addition to our household! The improved graphics and performance are a huge step up from previous models, making every experience more immersive and exciting. The setup was simple, and the device is very user-friendly, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. My kids absolutely love it—they’ve spent hours exploring virtual worlds, solving puzzles, and even staying active with VR fitness games. It’s not just entertainment; it’s educational too! Apps like Google Earth VR and interactive learning games make it a fun way for them to explore and learn. I also appreciate the comfort of the headset for longer use and the extended battery life, which means fewer interruptions. It’s a solid, well-designed product that provides great value for its price. Highly recommend the Meta Quest 3 for families looking for a fun, innovative, and versatile VR experience!

    I am an older woman but I have wanted a VR headset for some time. I need to exercise more but I am not about to join a gym at my age. I love the FitXR app. I can select workouts for varying lengths of time and ability. My hope is to increase as I get in better shape! The headset is fairly comfortable. I wear glasses so I use the glasses spacer that comes with the set. This allows for plenty of room without the glasses pressing against my face. The headset allows you to see around you until you start an app. This way I can walk to different locations depending on how much space I need for the activity. Meta then sets the boundaries allowed by your space. This keeps you safe and not bumping into things! The hand units are pretty intuitive to use even for someone who isn't "tech savvy". I did try the Batman game that comes with the headset. I'll be honest, it made me a little motion sick! I may try it again in the future. I prefer the mindfulness apps that allow me to relax before bed or as mentioned before, the FitXR that is helping me get in better shape. When I let my grandson use the headset, I can watch what he is doing on the app on my phone. This is a great thing for parents to monitor their children while online playing games. I am still figuring out some of the fine points. I am not able to exit out of most games. Things I have searched online say to press the oculus button (looks like the infinity symbol). I do this but it does not exit most apps. I end up just shutting the headset off. I usually only wear it for one "event" at a time.

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

    The Oculus Quest 3 is a game-changer in the world of virtual reality. Building on the legacy of the Quest 2, this all-in-one VR headset brings even more power, clarity, and immersion to the table, making it one of the best VR experiences available today. Whether you're a seasoned VR enthusiast or a newcomer to the virtual world, the Quest 3 is sure to impress. Stunning Visuals & Display: The first thing that stands out about the Oculus Quest 3 is its incredible visual quality. Featuring a high-resolution display (2064 x 2208 per eye), the Quest 3 delivers sharp, vibrant images that make every VR experience feel incredibly lifelike. The upgraded optics and improved field of view result in more immersive gameplay, while the color accuracy and contrast make everything from games to videos look absolutely stunning. Whether you're exploring new worlds in VR games or enjoying 360-degree videos, the Quest 3 offers crystal-clear visuals that significantly enhance the experience. Enhanced Performance: With a more powerful chipset, the Quest 3 offers smoother performance compared to its predecessor. Games run seamlessly with minimal lag or stutter, even during fast-paced action sequences. The upgraded hardware makes a noticeable difference in both gaming and productivity apps, ensuring a fluid and responsive experience. For anyone who enjoys intense VR games, like action-packed shooters or complex simulations, the Quest 3 handles it all without breaking a sweat. Improved Design & Comfort: The Quest 3 is lightweight, with a more refined design compared to earlier models. It's comfortable to wear for extended periods, thanks to improved cushioning and balanced weight distribution. The redesigned straps also make it easier to adjust the fit for a more personalized experience. Whether you're using it for an hour-long gaming session or a quick VR workout, the headset feels secure and comfortable on your head, reducing the chances of fatigue. Mixed Reality & Depth Sensors: One of the standout features of the Oculus Quest 3 is its improved mixed reality capabilities. Equipped with advanced depth sensors and cameras, the headset allows for a seamless blend of the real world and virtual elements. The ability to overlay virtual objects onto your real environment in high fidelity opens up entirely new possibilities for gaming and interactive applications. It’s a feature that adds tremendous value, making the Quest 3 not just a VR headset, but also a powerful mixed reality device. All-in-One Experience: As with previous models, the Oculus Quest 3 is fully standalone, meaning you don’t need to tether it to a PC or console to enjoy the full experience. This wireless freedom makes it incredibly versatile, allowing for a wide variety of applications ranging from gaming to virtual fitness, productivity, and even social interaction. The integration of the Meta (formerly Oculus) ecosystem ensures that there’s always a wide selection of content available, from immersive games to fitness apps, education tools, and social experiences. Battery Life & Charging: Battery life is solid, offering around 2 to 3 hours of gameplay on a full charge, depending on the intensity of use. While not revolutionary, it’s more than enough for most VR sessions. The charging process is quick and convenient, and the Quest 3 can be easily recharged via USB-C, allowing for more flexibility compared to older models. Final Thoughts: The Oculus Quest 3 represents the pinnacle of affordable, high-quality virtual reality. It improves upon nearly every aspect of its predecessors, from visuals to performance, comfort, and mixed reality. Whether you’re into gaming, fitness, or exploring new virtual spaces, the Quest 3 provides an exceptional and highly immersive experience that’s accessible to everyone. If you're looking to dive into VR or upgrade from an older headset, the Oculus Quest 3 is without a doubt one of the best options available on the market today.

    Affordable VR with no cords or cables!

    My experience with VR was only limited to the PSVR, which I tried out a few years ago. And limited it was. While it was very immersive, the games I played would have you click at a spot to move or be stationary. Plus, it felt like you couldn't move around much anyway because of the cables connecting you to your console. With the Meta Quest 3S, none of that is true! No cables because the software is running on the headset itself. In many games, if you move, you'll see your environment move. And conveniently, it scans your surroundings ahead of time so if you get too close to a wall or object, it throws up a grid in your vision to let you know you are about to run into something. The visuals are great, though you do need to get the headset positioned just right or there can be some blurriness. I also appreciate the speakers located back near your ears which transmit sound wonderfully without having to actually cover the ears. You get a full sense of direction the sound is coming from. The controllers are easy to use, and when you have the headset on, when they come into view they light up to help you see them better, and through the headset you can see the battery level remaining. I've played a number of games, but Batman: Arkham Shadow which comes with the system is utterly amazing! Only downside to the system is the battery. I think it's about 4-6 hours on a charge, depending on how intensive the game you are playing is. And if you try to charge it while playing, that does limit your movement. In any case, highly recommend. It's a great entry point for anyone wanting to try out VR.

    This is a phenomenal upgrade to the already amazing Quest 2 VR headset. It is effectively a Quest 3 but with a single LCD, and the standard Fresnel lenses instead of pancake. DO NOT listen to people saying " Quest 3 is infinitely better, don't buy Quest 3s." That take is completely ignorant, and most of the people saying that either never tried a Quest 2/3s , or had a bad experience with it because they didn't fit into the IPD presets. Unlike Quest 3's granular IPD settings, the Quet 2 and 3s have 3 fixed IPD settings. Do your research, measure your IPD, and see if you fit into these presets roughly (doesn't have to be exact). If you fit into the IPD presets, then as meta says on their website, when looking in the sweet spot there is only a 25% difference in clarity between the Quest 3s and Quest 3. Clarity difference in peripheral vision is 70%, but like 99% of the time when gaming, you are just looking straight into the sweet spot. Additionally, the Quest 3s does some things BETTER than the more expensive Quest 3. It has better, faster hand tracking due to the 2 IR light blasters which are very bright. It also has significantly better binocular overlap (same as Quest 2), since with the Quest 3, they sacrificed overlap to increase the FOV instead. For me, overlap is much more important as it contributes to immersion far more than FOV or clarity does. If you don't want to read all of that and want a quick answer: I have both the Quest 3 and the Quest 3s and I genuinely enjoy both of them equally. The Quest 3s being $200 cheaper and delivering nearly the same exact experience just makes it an incredibly value. Yes, you should buy it.

    Tried the quest3 and now the quest3s. The difference are the lenses. So the 3 is a bit sharper. The 3s still looks pretty good. Games look pretty good and the headset is mostly smooth. Some glitches here and there in games etc on 3as well. The stock vr headstrap is terrible and the battery life bad. But you can get a nice headstrap with a bigger battery that lasts to for about 20 to 30 bucks online . Overall a pretty nice Vr. Try zombieland game it's.a.blast

    My Quest 2 starting having problems connecting, and load times for some programs were getting longer. When this came out I knew I had a replacement I could afford. The 3S is enough of an upgrade from the 2 that I don't miss the features of the 3. The color passthrough camera is a huge improvement. I'd give this Quest 3S four and a half stars rather than five, if I could, because I prefer the Quest 2 controllers with the part across the top (I grip it a certain way for Beat Saber). Also, with the extra capabilities of the 3S controllers, which I do like, the battery life is shorter.

    The Meta Quest 3S 128GB is a great budget-friendly VR headset that delivers an awesome upgrade from the Quest 2. The visuals are noticeably sharper, and the performance is smooth, making games and experiences feel more immersive. The improved hand and gesture tracking is a standout feature—it’s incredibly responsive and adds a new level of interactivity. The controllers feel different from the Quest 2’s, so there is a slight learning curve, but they are much lighter and more comfortable to use for extended play sessions. Setup was easy, and the included bonus of Batman: Arkham Shadow and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+ makes it an even better value. Overall, this is a fantastic option for anyone looking to step into VR or upgrade from an older model. Great performance, improved tracking, and an affordable price make it a solid choice!

    I had the ability to test one of these from a program with best buy, and I liked it so much I bought a second unit. This headset is considered the entry level, but it seems to run pretty good to me, and does everything I would expect from a Vr headset. Going it's fairly easy setup, and goong through the tutorials help understand the controls, then it's off to the races. I figured out how to share apps for the family and have my wife on one machine, and myself on the other and now we can play the same game at the same time. I miss the days of if you buy a game and load it on whatever computer you are on, you can play it. With the onlone and account system, several companies make it so difficult that you end up buying 2 copies of the game so each person can play. I'm glad that this sysemt worked as it should. The graphics are immersive and i hoghly reccomend this.

    The Meta Quest 3S (128GB) marks a significant evolution in Meta's standalone VR lineup, offering a refined and highly immersive experience that builds meaningfully upon previous generations. From the moment you power it on, the Quest 3S delivers a smooth and responsive VR environment. Whether navigating menus, launching apps, or diving into fast-paced gameplay, the system’s upgraded hardware ensures fluid performance and reduced latency, making the virtual world feel more natural and engaging. One of the standout improvements is the redesigned controllers. The new ergonomics provide a more comfortable grip, and the improved haptics and tracking offer greater precision during gameplay. Whether engaged in action-heavy games or creative applications, the enhanced control scheme contributes to a more profound sense of immersion and control. Battery life is another area where the Quest 3S shines. With longer-lasting power compared to its predecessors, users can enjoy extended play sessions without frequent interruptions. This improvement makes the overall experience more enjoyable and convenient, especially for users who want to explore multiple apps, games, or social platforms in one sitting. In summary, the Meta Quest 3S (128GB) is a polished and powerful VR console surpassing previous performance, comfort, and longevity models. With smoother functionality, refined controls, and extended battery life, it sets a new standard for standalone virtual reality and is a must-have for new and experienced VR users.

    This new Meta Quest 3S 128GB is great for those who want to experience headset technology at affordable price and beginners who wants to learn more about the VR world and games. This Meta headset was easy to set up, just put it on , adjust the head straps and lens , follow the instructions and download the Meta Horizon app. The headsets also comes with a glasses spacer, if you wants to use glasses with the headset, you can also buy on Meta prescription lenses for the headset. One of the many cool features this meta headsets offers is the multitasking feature, you can open more than one screen or app to watch videos while still see your room around you. This Meta Quest 3S is as good as the previous versions, the only difference that I've noticed is just the display : High definition (1832x1920 pixels per eye) vs 4K display on the Quest 3, also the field view is only 96° vs 110° on the Quest 3 but you get 2.5 hours of battery charge. This headset are amazing for everyone in your home. It includes 3 free months of Meta Quest+ and Batman Arkham Shadow.

    I didn't want to pay the much higher price for the 3, but when this 3S came out at only $300, and I got the MQ2 just 4 months ago for $200, I figure I can sell the 2 at almost $200, and recoup most of the cost, and have mixed reality at a pretty low price. The 3S graphics are a little better, and the top strap might make the weight distribution better, but it kindof hurts the top of my head (and I'm still trying to adjust it more). Overall, I think the investment for the 3S is well worth the price, and I'm having a great time with new apps.

    The Meta Quest is an impressive standalone VR headset, offering sharp visuals, responsive motion tracking, and a wide range of immersive games and apps. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and easy to set up, with optional PC VR connectivity for enhanced performance. The 3D audio and hand-tracking features add to the overall experience. Battery life is around 2-3 hours, but it’s a small trade-off for its wireless convenience. Whether you’re gaming, working out, or exploring VR, the Meta Quest delivers great value. Rating: 4.5/5

    These VR’s keep getting better and better. This one turned out to be amazing! And the MetaQuest 3S is perfect for someone wanting the 3 for a more affordable price. And it still has all the bells and whistles. There’s only one small difference and it doesn’t even take away from its performance. If you’re looking to try one of these, I’d definitely say to try the 3S. And it comes with a game that is a higher end game for free.

    This quest vr headset is really sweet super fun to play especially with friends. Has run every game ive played just fine with very little lag and no crashes. The outside camaras arent the best but you can definitely see well enough through them to not fall or trip. The controllers track really well exept in the dark so is kind of hard to use in a dark area. The headset speakers are actually pretty good and are pretty loud with some quality sound. The connect to windows feature isnt to bad but it does have a delay if your router isnt in the same room and you can use multiple screens if you in the windowed mode but cant use multiple screens in the theater mode only one at a time. Can definitely use some work in that area. Overall i would really recommend this headset I use it often and love watching movies and playing games with it.

    This VR experience is AMAZING! And the Batman Arkham Shadow game is just as great with graphics and story being just as good as the other Arkham games except HERE, YOU have to fight all your henchmen and villains LITERALLY! VR adds to the experience being immersed in the games environment using your hands to navigate and fight your way through the game.It's an AMAZING EXPERIENCE and there's so many other games to choose from. This is my 1st VR gaming system and with the Batman game added to the systems purchase, its a great value pricewise!
