Same as the last one imo. Slight differences here and there. Nothing to write home about. VR still has a long way to go. But the product itself is great. Built good, works as intended.

I want to preface that I have never been exposed to Virtual Reality and my experience with the Meta Quest 3S was my first time.
The unboxing was very simple and nicely packaged. The headset itself is really well built and was super easy to adjust to fit my head. Inside the box, Meta kindly includes a glasses spacer which is very easy to put on. For those that wear glasses, you will enjoy and find comfort with this.
The setup process really blew my mind especially being my first exposure to VR. Having the ability to see everything around and in front of me but also setting up the device with a separate screen that was feet away from me was nuts. Meta also walks you through how to use the device and also switch off Field of View so you are surrounded in a virtual world. This part was absolutely incredible being inside of this gorgeous high resolution virtual world. I started by playing ping pong and was beyond impressed with it because the Meta Quest 3S seriously made me feel like I was playing ping pong in a VR world. The battery life for the device was also pretty good (I did not time it exactly but I played for a few hours before having issues). I also did not feel or get nauseous using this device but I did have to get used to it. The headset came with Batman Arkham Shadow which is pretty neat...if you have never used VR you kind of feel like a 1st person Batman. It is pretty wild. The eye portion of the device can be adjusted left or right to really fine tune your face and comfort. I have to get used to the controllers still because I am used to a PlayStation style controller but it is still fantastic.
I love the Meta Horizon app that accompanies the device. It is extremely easy to pair with the headset and it is great at automatically downloading apps or games. The library is great.
I highly recommend watching youtube or movies on the Meta Quest. The sound is fantastic and almost feels surround sound. However, the idea that you can have this headset on and watch a film on what feels like a movie theater screen is impossible for me to describe unless you try it. It is remarkable and I am so excited that this was my first time using VR. I HIGHLY recommend the Meta Quest 3s and family of products.

Talk about stepping into something wild and crazy! Try these new VR from Meta, it's off the chain good!
I got to be honest, I was a little scared after I got my Meta Quest 3S. I stared at the goggles before I turned them on for like 30min. I don't like heights, I don't like roller coasters! All that stuff that makes you guts come out of your mouth, yeah I'm good! So this was a big deal for me to try these out, right, man I'm so Glad I did. The experience at first was fear then, came the joy and blown away by the realistic feel and the sensation of actually being at the event your viewing. I've only had it for 5 days so I have yet to play a game because my emotions are so over the place about this experience. I get stuck in YOUTUBE video wormhole every time and I lose track of time, it's like Mickey D's fries you can't have just one! When you stop hearing your wife's nagging, pull the goggles off and check the time because it's probably late like 3am!
If you like going to the movies, watching any videos in VR is like an Imax, really stunning. Another thang I like is the passthrough mode that lets you see your actual surroundings while wearing the headset so you can move around without taking them off. Their are so many great features you guys have got tryout. Next for me is gaming
Thank you for such a great review, we are happy to hear that you have joined our adventure through the Metaverse, and we hope you keep having such a wonderous experience in the future.
We look forward to seeing you gaming soon.

This is my first experience with a virtual/mixed reality headset, so I don't have anything to compare it with, but- WOW is the only way I can describe it. Wearing this headset allows you to totally immerse yourself in a virtual world(s), or with a switch you can use software while still being able to see your surroundings. It will automatically set a boundary based on the room you are using it in if you want, and it does a great job of letting you know if you are approaching or crossing the boundary without affecting your play. The amount of apps and games available are almost overwhelming. There is literally something for everyone. You can download the Meta Horizon app on your smart device just to get a preliminary idea of what would be available to you. My favorite experience so far is a virtual Mt Everest expedition that is so realistic you will be amazed. It's like you are actually there except you can breathe and you are not freezing! The included Batman: Arkham Shadow game is incredible, as well. It takes some getting used to to control your character, but the experience is unmatched. The possibilities are endless with this headset. You have to see it for yourself to really understand what this is capable of. You will be amazed!

Still trying to find my code to load it. I think i accidently deleted the emailed code. Now i will need to wait a day for them to open and see if they will resend the email codes

Like my Title says, this is fun to have but it does lack some things, especially compared to a console. Which is a big part in why I am giving this a 3 star.
My biggest complaint with this is that games that are installed under one account, cannot be played under another account. It would be nice if they had a way to allow this like consoles. Maybe a once-a-month log into the account that games are associated with.
Another thing was that the Free Batman game, whatever account you first sign up with, it will add it to that account. They need to have a way that you actually select to add it. We first set this up with one account, did not select for the game and decided we wanted to have another account as the main, so we reset this. But it then would not let us add the game. We had to add the first account and then could get the game thru that account and back to my first complaint, can only play the game from that account.
It would also be nice if they maybe added a second USB-C port on the other side so you can choose what side to plug in and charge.
I also find this not easy to just plug and play for PC games.
Lastly, it would be nice (and this is just my opinion and not a factor to my 3 star). But would be nice to have this have a HDMI port to either plug in a HDMI cord into it so that you can plug and use it like a regular monitor.
But like I mentioned, it is fun to play. Angry birds for instance give you a first person view to playing. It also has games that scan your room and then have bugs, zombies etc. come out and you scan and shoot them or collect them etc. I will admit though it does not give quite the view that you would have for peripheral in real life. But still a lot of fun and you feel more emerged with games. having to look around like you would instead of using joysticks or a mouse to look around. Movies are fun to watch as you can set the screen to be a tv, theater, etc.
My last couple complaints that I almost forgot to mention is that the charging cord is short. Why they don't provide a 10 plus foot cord is beyond me. And they do not provide a case and a lenses cleaning rag. Even cheap glasses you can get usually come with both those.

This was a very epic gift for my teen. How cool is it to be able to escape to a virtual reality game? I really love that this gets my kids off the couch and moving. Also I really love that you can take it anywhere. There are parental controls as well which allows me peace of mind.
We are glad to hear that you and your kids are thoroughly enjoying the Metaverse and its numerous cool features. We would love to hear more from you next time!
