Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded to the Meta Quest 3s, and I couldn't be happier! From the moment I put it on, I was blown away by the clarity of the display and the immersive experience. The upgraded lenses and higher resolution make everything look stunningly realistic, and the refresh rate keeps the visuals smooth with no motion sickness. The mixed reality features are a game changer! Being able to blend the virtual world with my surroundings is incredibly cool. Games feel more interactive, and apps that utilize VR take things to a whole new level. Plus, the passthrough quality is better compared to previous versions. Setup was a breeze, and the user interface is intuitive. I also love that it’s a standalone headset, meaning no extra wires or sensors needed. But when I want to play more demanding PC VR games, the Air Link feature works like a charm. Battery life is solid, the controllers are comfortable and responsive, and the audio quality is surprisingly immersive without needing headphones. Meta has really stepped up their game. Whether you're a seasoned VR user or new to virtual reality, the Quest 3 is an absolute must-have. Highly recommend!

The Meta Quest 3 is an outstanding VR headset that takes virtual reality to the next level. With its sleek design, improved performance, and higher resolution, it offers an incredibly immersive experience that is hard to beat. The visuals are sharp and vibrant, making everything from games to virtual environments feel more lifelike. The enhanced processing power ensures smooth gameplay, and the expanded field of view adds a new level of depth to your experience. The comfort is also a major highlight. With a more ergonomic design and adjustable features, it's easier to wear for longer periods without discomfort. Plus, the wireless freedom makes it so much more convenient compared to other VR systems that rely on tethering. Whether you're a seasoned VR enthusiast or just getting started, the Meta Quest 3 offers something for everyone—amazing graphics, easy setup, and a truly immersive experience. If you're in the market for a new VR headset, the Quest 3 is definitely worth considering.

I am really enjoying the new Meta Quest 3S. As someone who bought the Oculus Quest 2, which then became the Meta Quest 2, I have noticed some nice upgrades. Roughly half of the upgrades come from the package I have versus noticeable upgrades in equipment. Upgrades: The biggest upgrade I’ve noticed is the Color Passthrough. I can now see my surroundings in full color, albeit a bit grainy. I am able to read notifications on my phone and watch without removing the headset, which is also great! Of course, Face ID doesn’t work with the headset but if you have a fingerprint sensor to unlock your phone you are golden. As I mentioned, it’s a bit grainy but it gets the job done. I can see where things are and who is around. Sometimes when I am immersed in virtual reality I wonder if someone in the family is entertaining themselves by watching me swing my arms and move awkwardly around. This set came with Batman Arkham Shadow for free which is a fun game and saves money if you would’ve purchased a game like this separately. It also comes with 3 free months of Meta Quest+. I am finding that this is a great way to discover new games and to add to your game collection without additional cost, at least for 3 months. My unit also has 256GB of storage which is a welcome upgrade from the Quest 2 which only has 64GB. The processor is also 3-4 generations newer than my Oculus 2. Pretty Similar: I will say that I was a bit disappointed that some things remain largely the same from the Quest 2. Don’t expect a huge upgrade in graphics - if that is what you are after, you’ll want the Meta Quest 3 (without the “S”). The 3S also uses the same “pancake” lens style as the older versions. This just means there is more of a sweet spot looking straight on. If you keep your head stationary and move just your eyes the surroundings will become a bit blurred. The Quest 3 uses a different lens that keeps things more clear. The bottom line is the Meta Quest 3S is an iterative upgrade from the 2. You get the Batman game, 3 months of Quest+, updated controllers, a faster processor, and the Color Passthrough. It’s somewhat like upgrading your phone from the 15 to the 16. For some, the upgrades I mentioned will be well worth it, for some it won’t. If you don’t have a VR/MR unit at all you will love the Meta Quest 3S! If you have the Quest 2, there are some nice features that you may want to upgrade to but the Meta Quest 3 might be a better choice for you.

The Meta Quest 3 strikes an excellent balance between performance, comfort, and innovation. While it’s priced higher than previous models, the enhanced features and overall experience make it a worthwhile investment for VR enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Highly recommended for those looking to explore the future of virtual and mixed reality

With the exception of PSVR, all of my main VR experiences have been through Meta. I've owned the Rift, Quest, and Quest 2. The Quest 2 became my benchmark for ease of use, no room set-up, and overall casual use. The Quest 3 intrigued me, but I couldn't justify the price jump for my usage, especially since I was still satisfied with the experience of my Quest 2. Then I received the 3S, and this has enhanced my experience exponentially! From the first power up, I noticed the improvements in hardware and software. Better hand tracking, better obstacle avoidance and barrier creation, and my favorite, the RGB passthrough. It makes AR experiences so much more immersive. As you may have read, the visual experience is almost identical as the Quest 2. For me, that is not an issue, as I still feel the Quest 2's visuals are excellent. What I do notice is a slight bump in "smoothness" in more resource hungry applications which shows the processor and extra memory are being put to work! Another major improvement is connectivity. With the Quest 2, I had so many issues connecting/reconnecting between systems. The 3S was one shot. Mobile and PC. Not a single issue on first set-up and none since. Including Steam VR. One factor that will pull me deeper into VR is the ease in which I can use it across multiple platforms and entertainment mediums. The 3S is indeed checking more and more boxes. Here's a small irritation, the side anchors for the straps are just a smidgen smaller, so I will need to buy a new elite strap in the future. Grrrr! You could have given me that bone. Ah well. You have read "beginner headset" or "starter VR," but I challenge that notion. The 3S is recommended for anyone looking for a great VR/entertainment experience, which is myself. While I'm still keeping my Quest 2 around for back-up and travel, the 3S has done more than enough to become my main player. If you are looking to update your Quest 2 but can't justify the 3, this will absolutely fill that void with no regrets.

The Meta Quest 3 is an impressive step forward in VR. The visuals are sharper, mixed reality feels seamless, and performance is smooth even during demanding apps. Setup is simple, and hand-tracking is more accurate than before. While the headset is slightly heavier, comfort remains decent. Overall, it’s a versatile, immersive upgrade that makes VR more engaging and practical.

The graphics are incredible, and the VR experience is so immersive. The headset is comfortable to wear and lightweight. The free Batman game was a fun extra and really shows off the system’s capabilities.

Overall the Meta Quest 3s is a great way to get into VR for a reasonable price. The included games and Meta Quest+ subscription allow you to experience a good amount of games. However, Meta could improve the first time experience for most users. Setup: The Quest 3s comes with pretty much everything you need to get going. It has the main unit, two controllers, a USB-C charging cable, and charger. After the initial power on, you will go through a basic tutorial that teaches you the basic commands and gestures you can perform with your hand and the included controller. Before setup of the quest, I created a Meta account and linked my unit using the code displayed in the headset. Games: The quest has the First Encounters game pre-installed which is a fun little AR shooting game. The system also includes a copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow which unfortunately gave me motion sickness and could not play for more than a minute. You also get a 3 month complimentary subscription to Quest+ which includes access to 26 games. Even if you are like me and get motion sickness from some VR games, you should be able to try out a combination of games that work well for you. SteamVR: If you have a capable PC, I highly recommend you set up Steam VR as well. This will let you play the amazing game Half Life: Alyx. AR: AR works pretty well with the Quest 3s. While it isn’t the most high fidelity, you will be able to navigate the world around you with ease. Gripes: My main gripe is that the quest isn’t as beginner friendly as I would have liked. It took me a lot of searching to find things like the included batman game and the Meta Quest+ subscription. I think having more minigames like First Encounters would also be a good add on to get new users into the experience. Also, they should make it more obvious that the controllers use AA batteries. I spent a while looking for the USB-C port on the controllers only to look up on line that it uses disposable batteries Wrap Up If you are looking to get into VR, you can’t go wrong with the Quest 3s.

I’ve previously owned Quest and Quest2. I skipped the 3, but jumped on board for the 3S. I’m glad I did. I like that the headset and controllers are very light, the mixed reality feature is high quality and hand tracking is much smoother than the previous headsets by meta. The controllers have great movement without the ring. The headset itself is fairly comfortable and the straps are easily adjustable. It is an overall great headset and I would recommend it to anyone getting into VR or those who have played VR before. The Arkham Knight VR game is very entertaining and has an immersive story, I had a great time playing it but it also has a very linear storyline where you have to follow the quest line. The game runs very smooth and I haven’t had a single problem with running any games. Mixed reality games operate perfectly as I have no problems with tracking and games that lagged on the quest 1 and 2 don’t bug out or glitch anymore. With fighting games like battle talent, blade and sorcery, and bonelab, the movement is fluid and matches with your hand very nicely.

It was super easy to set up, and feels very comfortable once properly adjusted. The graphics are exceptional, and truly create immersive experience.

I've been really impressed with the Meta VR headset overall. The setup is incredibly fast and easy, allowing you to get started with minimal hassle. You can pick it up, put it on, and start playing almost immediately, which is a huge plus for someone who wants to dive straight into the experience. One of my favorite features is the ability to link the headset to my Steam account, opening up a much wider range of games to explore. Whether you're into gaming or just looking to have some fun with exercise and fitness games, the options are great. I’ve found the fitness games to be surprisingly engaging and a good way to get moving while having fun. The only downside is the battery life. It doesn’t last as long as I’d like during extended play sessions, so I’d definitely recommend getting a battery extender if you plan on using it for long periods of time. That being said, it’s a fantastic device overall and definitely worth checking out.

I picked up the 256GB Quest 3S, and I’m glad I did. VR apps and games add up quick, and having the extra space means I’m not constantly deleting things just to try something new. Setup was simple—power it on, connect, sign in, and you're basically ready to go. No cords, no hassle. The headset feels well-built, lightweight, and balanced enough for longer sessions. What I love: Versatility: This headset isn’t just for gaming. There are apps for education, productivity, and even design. One app lets you build or arrange things and preview exactly how they would fit in your actual room—super cool and surprisingly accurate. Visuals: Crisp and clean picture quality for the price. Movies look fantastic, and playing in a “virtual theater” feels like having your own giant screen. Performance: Smooth menus, fast loading, and excellent tracking. Everything feels responsive. Multiplayer: If you plan to get two headsets, it’s incredibly easy to jump into co-op games or shared experiences together. Freedom: Completely wireless out of the box. Just put it on and play. Things to consider: Straps & Comfort: It’s okay stock, but if you use VR a lot, I highly recommend upgrading the strap. I bought a BOBOVR-style strap with a swappable battery, and it completely changed the comfort and playtime. A built-in or interchangeable battery system makes a huge difference. Battery Life: Good for short sessions but you’ll want extended battery options if you play for long periods. Overall: The Quest 3S is an incredible all-around headset—fun for gaming, useful for work and education, and awesome for movie watching. The 256GB version was absolutely worth it, and I’d buy this setup again without hesitation. Perfect balance of price, performance, and versatility.

The Meta Quest 3S is a budget-friendly VR headset delivering solid performance at $299 (128 GB) and $399 (256 GB). While it lacks the advanced lenses of the Quest 3, it offers a clear 1832×1920 resolution per eye and mixed reality capabilities through color passthrough cameras. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 and 8 GB RAM, it handles games smoothly. The Touch Plus controllers and action button enhance usability. Battery life lasts around 2.5 hours, suitable for most sessions. Overall, the Quest 3S is a great entry point into VR, balancing cost and features effectively.

Absolutely loving the Meta Quest 3S! The setup was quick, the graphics are mind-blowing, and the tracking is super smooth. I’m especially enjoying the Batman: Arkham Shadow bonus — feels like I’m actually inside Gotham! The 3-month Meta Quest+ trial gave access to awesome titles right away. This is hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made. Thanks to Best Buy for the fast and hassle-free service. Highly recommended for gamers and tech lovers!

I’ve been using the Meta Quest for a while now, and overall it’s been a really fun surprise. The setup was super simple—basically put it on, follow a few prompts, and you’re in. No wires, no sensors, nothing complicated, which made it feel way more approachable than other VR headsets I’ve tried. The games and apps are the real highlight. Beat Saber, fitness apps, and social VR spaces all work smoothly, and it’s easy to jump in for quick sessions. The visuals aren’t PC-level, but honestly, they look good enough that I stopped thinking about it once I got into the gameplay. Comfort-wise, it’s light enough for 30–60 minute sessions, though I do notice the weight on my face after longer play. Battery life could be better too—it lasts a couple hours, so you’ll want to keep the charger close. Overall, the Meta Quest feels like a great balance of convenience, fun, and price. If you want an easy way to get into VR without needing a gaming PC or a mess of cables, this is a really solid choice.

Very fun sometimes i get mosion sick but other than that it us extremely fun and worth the money

A MAJOR upgrade from the Quest 2…The hand tracking sans controllers is amazing! Using my own hands with the Quest 3s’s augmented reality keyboard works very well compared to the Quest 2. If you’ve been enjoying the Quest 2 for years and are ready for an update then definitely purchase the Quest 3s. It feels like a huge leap in technology. I’d personally compare it to going from a 2010 vehicle to a 2024. The difference in the bells and whistles are quite onservable on 3s! I’ve really enjoyed it immensely!

Great device for VR not as good as the quest 3 in my opinion but for the value, and if its your a 1st time VR user this will 100% be a win for you. you have everything you need to have a great experience in VR. Vibrant displays, great controllers and a awesome gaming catalog of games to get. If you have the money for it get a Quest 3 with the pancake lenses, but again this is a great if you want to cut the cost down a bit.

The graphics are sharper, headset feels lighter, and it has overall been an experience. Set up was very simple and quite quick and the wider view field really makes a difference. Everything feels next level compared to older models. The battery life and comfort have been improved which helps extend my sessions.

Unit is very comfortable. The graphics I absolutely love. Tried the new game Zombie Army and wow. Takes first shooter games to the next level.
