    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!

    I’ve always loved the Quest line up. I’m coming from the Quest 2 and the Quest 3s is an excellent upgrade. Be mindful that the graphics/resolution are not that different from the quest 2 BUT it is snappier than the quest 2. Also, pass-through is now in color where the quest 2 was in black and white. One of my favorite features is the laydown mode (which is accessible through experimental settings). I can lay down and view my favorite streaming content! For the price you can’t lose! Also, if you’re into 360 cameras and know how to edit/keyframe, you can watch your edits by importing it into quest 3s like an external drive! ONLY drawback is battery life could be better but you can buy the elite strap or use a battery bank.

      Hey there

      It’s awesome to hear from a long-time Quest fan! Nothing makes us happier than seeing a Quest 2 veteran make the jump and find so much value in the new hardware.

      We hope you have many more VR adventures ahead.

    I Put This On and Accidentally Left Reality

    I bought the Quest 3S thinking, “Cool, some VR gaming.” What I didn’t expect was to immediately forget what year it was. Setup was stupidly easy, tracking is rock solid, and the visuals are way sharper than I expected at this price point. It’s comfortable enough for long sessions, and the controllers feel natural—even when I’m wildly flailing my arms like I know what I’m doing. Batman: Arkham Shadow is an absolute blast. Being in Gotham instead of watching it is next-level immersive, and the included Meta Horizon+ trial is a great way to sample a ton of content without extra hassle. Whether you’re gaming, exploring VR worlds, or just showing friends and family why they suddenly look ridiculous swinging at invisible enemies, this headset delivers. Highly recommend if you want fun, immersion, and a brief but exciting escape from reality.

    Best chirstmas gift for my husband. He's been wanting a VR system since it came out but we could not afford it. But now we could and he was so happy. I have it to him earlier to set up and start playing. He loves it so much.

    I bought this for my kids, they love it. I only let them use it for a hour or two a day and that is pretty much what the battery life is anyway i would say my only complaint is the battery life is short so you have to charge it before anybody else plays.After someone else gets off of it

    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.

      We are so happy that you are enjoying the hard work that we put into this device, Meta Quest 3S features the same mixed reality experience as Quest 3, with 4.5 times the resolution and color compared to Quest 2.

      There's infinite possibilities in the Metaverse, we're sure you can't wait to jump back in!

    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.

    Since I got the Quest 3S 256GB, I’ve honestly been way more active than before. I didn’t expect a VR headset to get me moving this much, but theres so much! games, fitness experiences, worlds, I’m on my feet a lot more instead of sitting around. The visuals are amazing and everything feels smooth. Getting Batman: Arkham Shadow was a huge bonus, Overall, it’s been a really fun experiance and I actually look forward to using it every day.

    We're loving the Quest 3S and the 3-month trial of Meta Horizon+. There are lots of games to download and plenty of space on the 256GB hard drive. I was able to setup kid profiles to limit the communications with my 12 and younger kids and monitor the games they have access to. Over all we're really enjoying this VR and the purchase process from Best Buy was easy.

    This game rocks ! ! ! I’m a bit older than most people that play newer style video games on gaming platforms such as the Meta Quest, I’m old school so I’m used to playing games on like a Super Nintendo or like on a Play Station 2 lol. But I can tell you this game is very fun to play and is action packed. I’m glad I ventured out and tried this VR gaming thing.
