There is an issue with the Wi-FI. It is so unstable on all three bands (2.4, 5, 6GHz). I verified it by many network tools. Even the PING shows fluctuation in RTT.

The graphics arent as good. It doesnt really make you feel like you're there like psvr2. It does have more games tho

Interesting tech. But it still doesn't feel must have to me. It's a struggle to use with glasses even with the in box glasses extender

Great product. The device is a little blurry and could be a cleaner visual.

The only thing is that i didmt find any interesting games

Absolutely horrible product, had broken within 6 months and meta support has had to send 4 replacements because the screen goes black and support will not stop send refurbished one. Meta has not done anything helpful to solve this problem besides offering another refurbished device. I asked for a refund and was told to contact Best Buy since I bought it through them even tho meta was the one that sent the refurbished device. Save your money on this one, it’s disgusting and useless.

It works pretty well, picture quality is good. Get headaches after long term use.

It felt uncomfortable and the material felt like it was digging into my skin and not to talk about the light that sips in through the nose.

Video quality is not great for the price, i expected more. My son liked the batman game but quickly grew board of it

I don't use it as much as i should for the price i paid

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…

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

Meta connectivity is a big downside. My nephew loves the games.

Comes defective on the software not able to get it work I had to replaced it for another one

Rough on the eyes for me. Although the gameplay is good

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...

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.

Its alright. Not terrible not amazing. Good price.

I always wanted to try this immersive experience with the idea of using it for flight simulator software. More on that later. When opening the box there was a start here document that pointed me to a QR code to get to the startup guide which included videos making it quite simple. I wear glasses so I followed the instructions to install the eyeglass spacer. I then downloaded an Android APP and chose a name. Now it was time for me to put on the headset and fire it up. I was greeted with more instructions to put the headset on WIFI and then its software was updated. This was very easy to do. I was up and running although it was a bit blurry for me but with adjusting the headset lenses right and left I got it a bit better. Lenses are available at an extra cost thus eliminating the need to use my glasses. Now I am able to explore the metaverse and decide what to do. There are many games presented and I’m sure everyone will find something of interest. I checked out the roller coaster and I have to say the realism is incredible. I found myself actually experiencing the ride, having to close my eyes at one point. It is truly amazing. I then tried a game that overlays your actual environment with virtual reality creatures in a cute shoot em up game. Once again you loose yourself in the play. Absolutely amazing and immersive. There are many more games (for a fee) and rooms to explore. My headset came with a free trial of a Batman game. I am learning how to move about in it and the video does not lag or stutter at all. I played this standing up in my living room and the room is scanned and boundaries setup so as to not knock into a table or break a lamp ! Safety measures are built into the system. Watching YouTube videos, and some in VR, is like sitting in the front row of a theater. It is an amazing wide screen environment with full stereo sound. Now the downside. I was unable to air link connect the headset to my PC which is running Windows 11 on an i7 processor. I have followed several videos but the PC is never discovered. Its probably due to the video card in the PC not being supported. This linking is essential for me to run a PC based flight simulator. A new PC for flight simulation may be in order. The battery life is roughly two hours which seems a bit short but there are third party accessories available to increase play time. I would not hesitate to recommend this headset to friends and family.

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
