Quility is not as good as the quest 2 or 3 in comparrison just cheaper model would go with the straight 3 not the s

It’s fun to use when you’re bored. It doesn’t have many games yet. I mean it’s hard to find a good game to play as well…

When it works correctly, it is really neat! However, it wants me to reverify the account and shows the beginning and ending of the email address. When I type that address in, it tells me it doesn't exist, and I am pretty much dead in the water. It's not ideal, considering how much I paid for it... I don't feel like it has to really this hard...

Not great if you wear spectacles, made me feel dizzy after using.

Its alright. Not terrible not amazing. Good price.

Out of the box, this headset is complete and ready to go to get started in a new VR adventure. I have to say that it's definitely come a long way in recent time, and this is the perfect headset to get started, whether it's for gaming, or exploring the VR world (the metaverse) and meeting new people in Meta Horizon. It includes Batman Arkham Shadow (which is a lot of fun to play) and a trial subscription to Meta Quest plus which I think is great to help give you a taste of different games each month. The headset comes with a power adapter and touch controllers. For comfort, I'd say the head straps that come on it are good and certainly good enough for longer sessions, but I'd recommend getting a set of straps that make it more comfortable to wear for longer periods and outside of that good pair of ear buds will make the experience even more immersive. The through vision is actually pretty good and enables you to see the real environment you are sitting in with the VR environment overlayed. Some games and apps take advantage of this which is pretty good, but it also makes it easy to see your phone or other things in the real world when you need to without taking it off. The quality of the displays is definitely good enough to get started in VR though with the fresnel lenses some people I have had try my headset out do have a hard time adapting to looking into the headset with them, but these actually are pretty good and produce a good image and despite not being as good as the Quest 3, I'd say they are still good enough, with the main difference being that the overall quality of the image isn't as sharp but still is good. The optics with the pancake lenses and higher resolution displays make images sharper with less artifacts but the 3s fresnel lenses are really actually pretty good, certainly for a beginner/starter headset that you want to try without sinking half a grand into it. I didn't have any trouble adapting and found that once I got "into" a game or experience that I really don't notice any of the side effects of the lenses (the flares or artifacts on the very outside edge of an image). Head and motion tracking is pretty good, but I do find that having to keep the controls in front of the headset annoying, but it does work well. The headset is quick to lose track of motion though if the controls are not kept out in front of you. That said, once you are used to that, it's not bad and this isn't just unique to the 3S but the Quest 3 as well and I think the tracking is pretty much the same for both. Battery life is pretty good, I have found that I'm able to easily use it for more than an hour and even two hours, depending on the content. I usually try to limit my sessions to an hour or so, which the battery life so far seems to be just right for. Overall, this is a ton of fun, and I'd recommend getting one and really giving it a chance. The first time I tried the 3 I wasn't sure about it, tried it a few times and then let it set. I recently came back to it just before getting this one and started to explore the Meta Horizons app, more experiences and gave the subscription a try and am glad I did as I have discovered a whole new world in the virtual world. In terms of storage, 128gb is a lot but some games are larger, and any stored media definitely takes up space, so I'd recommend not storing media like videos in the storage and you'll have plenty for a good number of games, but I'd opt for the larger storage if you can.

This is not an upgrade. I thought this would be better than the Q2. It was exactly the same with smaller controllers. Get the Q3 if you’re upgrading. I returned the 3S for the Q3 and it’s really much better.

I just wasn't very impressed by the product. Maybe it's because I'm an older guy, but it didn't seem very easy to use, and I didn't think it was worth the price

You are required to pay a monthly membership fee. Bought it for a hockey training game. It forced me to buy the game $30 just so I could load the game to pay $60monthly service. NOPE! Stupid purchase!

These are not worth the price ever. They’re fun for a few weeks then you’ll never use it again.

The picture quality is not that goo. If you wear glasses it’s kind of a hassle

Wonderful claims with horrible support. Geek squad could not get it connected to my PC. I will be returning it tomorrow.

Delivery service was completely unprofessional and for a company of its size, absolutely unacceptable. 2 random people showed up in a broke down car and the box my item came in smelt like an ashtray for days. I don’t even know how that’s possible. It was a Xmas present for my daughter. I have to leave it outside for a couple days to air out. Absolutely ridiculous. Get it together best buy, seriously.

It was okay not a lot of crazy games just yet but fun

I purchased a Meta 3S when I wanted a Meta 3 and the customer service told me I could not exchange it. It was not open and was for a Christmas gift. I bought it 3 weeks prior to that. So now I'm stuck with a Meta 3S and a sad child. I was going to pay the $100 more for the Meta 3 and was told no.

Waited till Xmas day for son to open. Such a disappointment. Would not functional brand new. Tried at full charge. Would not reboot or reset. Diplay later said device was locked and corrupted.

Nothing has changed from the quest 2, same ui. Same image quality

What an absolute piece of crap! It got corrupted doing an update during initial setup and it is stuck in a factory reset loop. Fresh out of the box! This shouldn’t happened, unit is being returned. Don’t waste your time with Meta products.

Got a NEW Meta quest and received a used one without the batman game. Attempted to return but since it was "New" on the receipt they wouldn't take it back. Would give 0 stars but they guy was nice and non argumentative

When it got to the final set up it asked to put in a 8 digit code. The mobile device only asks for a 5 digit code. Wouldn't let you do anything until you enter that code into god knows where.
