This is definitely the next level and is not as terrible in graphics compared to the quest 2

My son loves it and it is an upgrade from what the had at first. He plays on it almost everyday. He said the graphics are better and makes his game play more fun!

The Meta Quest 3s is really fun to use but the strap it comes with is terrible as per usual with Metas headsets. A cheaper strap to produce means a cheaper device tho so I'm ok with the tradeoff.

This is a good product. I gave this as a gift to my husband and he likes it.

It really works your out. My sons love it and its very interactive. You gotta get the stand it keeps it safe and everything where it goes

Great awesome toy my stepson loved it what a great Christmas because of this toy came with 50$ dollar gift card

Awesome! I love this headset, I upgraded from the Quest 2, and the graphics on this are incredible!

My daughter loves it I love it for her great view still learning how to work the game it does get a little hot fast . But other than that it’s good

It’s great, but I get very dizzy after use. So I’ll be returning it later today!

Fantastic: I can play with my son and feel in the game.

Got it for my son. We need to open it. We are excited.

So far so good son been wanting one now we found one

The Meta Quest 3S 256GB is my first VR headset. It truly is the ultimate virtual reality experience because it's so immersive and captivating. It will honestly blow your mind away if you're never experienced it before. It's very cool. Setting up the Meta Quest was very easy and only took a few minutes. It prompts you through the few steps to set up the account on the headset, connect to your WiFi and you will need to download the Meta Horizon app on your phone. Even though I was struggled coming up with a user name I liked (start thinking of one now), I actually had a lot of fun setting up my avatar. You can customize it your liking with different outfits and styles. The headset itself is lightweight at only 18 oz and adjustable for maximum comfort. There's a side strap and top strap to adjust for tightness and support and the lenses have three different space width settings to get the clearest picture. A couple things to keep in mind while playing. First, always use the wrist straps on the controls. We've had one occasion already where it went flying across the room and thankfully, did not break anything or hurt anyone. Second, if you are prone to motion sickness like I am very much so, remember to take frequent breaks. I can only be on for short periods of time. The Meta Quest is great for so many things. You can work on your fitness with different workouts, gaming, socializing on chats, social media and in hangouts and entertainment with videos and movies. There are thousands of choices for your Meta Quest with all of the games, events, videos and hangouts to choose from. You can literally pull up multiple screens so you can do different things at the same time. It's possible to be watching videos, messaging your friends at the same time and looking at new apps. One of the coolest features is that the Meta Quest can act like your own personal theater. The high-definition resolution with the 1832x1930 pixels per eye makes the picture clear and crisp. The special visual effects that the Meta Quest 3 has are amazing. It really feels like you are in a whole new space. It's totally immersive. When it darkens everything so your actual physical surroundings are hidden and you are totally immersed in the blackened screen, your new environment seems exactly like what you're seeing on the screen. It feels like you've been transported, whether its courtside watching a basketball game, in the middle of your own battle or halfway around the world exploring. The battery life is okay. On a full charge, on average the headset can last up to 2.5 hours. I would say a couple hours seems to be the case so far. It always drains faster than anyone would like and my family fights over who's turn it is next once it's charged. I take that as a good sign. You can even cast your experience onto a TV so others can enjoy it with you as well. One downside is that even though the headset is rechargeable, the two hand controllers are not. They are battery operated. It would have been nice if the whole system was rechargeable. We are all having a lot of fun exploring with the Meta Quest. When you're doing it, it seems so real. It makes it very impressive and fun. You can play with your current friends and you can meet new ones. It's also a bonus that the Meta Quest 3S currently includes the Batman Arkham Shadow game and a 3-month trial of Meta Quest+. I'd say if you're considering a VR set, the Meta Quest has been great. The price is comparable to other gaming systems and this is so fun and entertaining with the special effects being completely immersed in the experience. I highly recommend it.

Kid love it even have the adults playing on it lol

The Meta Quest 3S with 256gb is an incredible experience. I have seen people say how amazing this product is and now I have gotten the opportunity to try it out for myself and I can definitely say the technology embedded in this product has really surpassed my expectations. The box itself is not large and it was surprisingly easy to set up. I thought I would have to go through the tedious process of connecting cables and wires to my tv and find the HTML much like the setup of a new Wii but this is nothing like that. It has been simplified. The box itself comes with the Meta Quest 3S headset, the standard facial interface which is preinstalled, glasses spacer, 2 Meta Quest Touch Plus controllers, 2 AA batteries, 2 wrist straps, which are preinstalled, a USB-C power adapter, a USB-C charging cable (1 m), and finally my Meta Quest came with the Batman: Arkham Shadow game included! Even though the Meta Quest 3S is less expensive than the Meta Quest 3 due to the lower resolution, I have to say that I think the resolution is still very good in the 3S and obviously not as pricey. Even though it was my first time experiencing virtual technology, the setup was pretty simple after a few tries. First you turn on the head set with the power button and once you put it on a screen appears through the headset in front of you. The headset also had audio so it tells you how to use the controllers along with visual demonstrations and you easily connect to WiFi and set up the device just using the headset just like watching a movie. The controllers themselves are very easy to use specially if you have played any type of game before it’s pretty easy to pick up. Part of the setup is to download the Meta Horizon app and create an account if you do not already have one. This is how I was allowed to download and play the Batman game in the first place. Much like having an account to sign in to your computer. The head set has several buttons. Besides the power button, it also has volume buttons, and an action button which is used to switch between immersive mode and passthrough, which I will explain later. The headset comes with adjustable straps to fit comfortably and a USB-C port for charging. Now, the action button is one of the coolest features in my opinion. When you click the action button it either takes you to passthrough or immersive mode. Passthrough is getting a real time view of your real surroundings but immersive mode actually shows you a virtual reality like walking around in another world. Before entering immersive mode, the device will ask you to create a boundary. Meaning it will see how much space you have around you and then when you are in immersive mode, that boundary still exists. It will remember that boundary for you so you don't have to worry. You can walk around in the virtual reality but if you are about to cross that boundary, a wall will show up letting you know where your boundaries are and this is such a great feature because it alerts you if you’re about to bump into your coffee table or into a very real wall. In the immersive mode you can also interact with others and play games with them and the Meta Quest has hundreds of immersive and interactive games to choose from. I’ve noticed that the performance is fast which must be due to the Snapdragon XR2 GEN 2 chip that it uses. When I noticed the Facebook and Instagram are preinstalled, I was afraid that I have to sign in into my FB account, but I am glad that is not required, and there is the option to uninstall them if you want. You only need to create a Meta account as part of the setup process and to use your headset. Another cool feature is that you don’t actually have to use the controllers all the time. For example, during the setup, the device teaches you that when you’re wearing the headset and you want to return to the Home Screen, you can actually just put the controllers down, lift your hand a bit, and touch your thumb and index finger and the device will immediately pick up the gesture and take you back to the Home Screen. The home screen of the Meta Quest is like the home screen of a computer. You can download apps or see the time, settings and other basic things so it’s very easy to get around. These are things that are barely scratching the surface. The VR experience is truly remarkable, colorful, realistic, immersive. I can feel that it is capable of predicting my movements o next steps, I assumed it is because of its Meta AI technology. Meta Quest itself is amazing for watching movies and even working out. I definitely have had a lot of fun while playing with this. You don’t need at all a computer or other device to download/store/or play the games. Everything will be installed/stored in the 256GB onboard memory. This unit does not have memory upgrade option, but 256Gb is a very decent size for the games and apps I am looking for. It is a great tool for educational purposes, since it allows you to bring virtual elements into the physical world. Either for business, school, college, by connecting your headset with your windows computer with a USB-C cable and the Meta Quest Link. The video experience is definitely way better than the regular 2D monitor display, by having a full immersive 3D environment, so the Meta Quest 3s is not only for games, but also to improve productivity. You can check your mail with the gmail and outlook apps, however I think some others will improve over time. The battery itself lasts about 2 and a half hours which is plenty for me especially considering all the things the device does. For all that the Meta Quest 3s offers, it is a great value. Even if the 3 has a little higher specs, the 3s performs surprisingly well. I think this might be a strategy to promote it widely, and the right time to get it while it is still affordable. This is a great product that I can really rely on to distract myself or when I need a break from real life. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of purchasing it.

Simply impressive! This is absolutely the future at an affordable price! This is the first time I own a VR device, but I work in the tech industry and have played here and there with VR devices in museums and malls. I never thought I would own one as I thought it would be prohibitively expensive and the quality not as good… oh, was I mistaken! The Meta Quest 3S completely transports you to a different dimension! It transforms any space into a completely different reality and you feel you are inside! It’s just incredible! For those Marvel fans, part of this feels close to the technology Tony Stark/Ironman uses. Think of this as being inside your computer or smartphone. You use your hands or the provided controls to control/manipulate the toolbar, apps, windows and browser. In other words, it’s very intuitive to use because it’s similar to any computer/smart phone but in 3D. You’re inside selecting, for example, the “app store”, your “browser”, or the library with the list of apps/games you have installed. And once you select a game… oh boy… you’re into a completely immersive virtual reality that makes you feel you’re absolutely living inside a different world! Absolutely amazing! For gamers, this is obviously an absolute must have! But it’s not just for gamers. I love movies. And while there are apps (like “Prime Video” and “Peacock”) made for Meta Quest, I decided Not to install them due to poor reviews. However, you don’t need to! Meta Quest comes with a real browser so you can go to any website, such as Netflix, Disney+ or whatever you want. Then, using your hands or the controls, you can resize the browser to be as HUGE as you want… and the browser has a “Theater Mode” button at the top right corner that dims everything outside the browser and you have the biggest screen you can ever wish for! I can see this being a game changer when taking it in an airplane! I can’t wait to give it a try! The only drawback is that the battery lasts only about 2 hours. But it seems we can buy a headset extension that has an extra battery. There are so many things that I want to try! There’s one app with great reviews for learning new languages. Apparently not only are there recorded classes, but there are virtual gatherings all day long with real people all around the world, with the goal of practicing speaking a language! I can see how much faster it’d be to learn new languages! Drawback: I can see this becoming very addictive! I’m actually kind of glad the battery lasts only about 2 hours. I would think that being submerged in a virtual world longer than that would not be very healthy! And I can see the appeal for people to connect through a virtual world rather than the real world… exciting and scary times we’re living in!

This is a great entry level VR headset. It has a few issues, but it is forgivable as the device is meant for value. I would highly recommend this if this is your first VR set or would just like one for casual use. Pros: - Good battery life - Comfortable - Great performance - Good UI - Lots of apps - Great hand and controller tracking - Great pass through camera Cons: - Lower resolution screen - Only 3 optic positions - Controllers use AA batteries - Low quality plastic lenses First impressions: The design of the 3S is great. It looks very high tech with cameras all over the headset. The build is all plastic and cloth but it feels high quality and durable. The fit is great for most heads as the strap is adjustable on the sides and top. The controllers are comfortable to hold and also feel high quality. Setup: You will need a Meta account to set this device up. This will allow you to make purchases, redeem coupons (3 month trial of Quest+ and Batman in this case). The account also lets you setup security features such as a PIN for use in the device. It is kind of weird using the headset and setting it up via your phone at the same time as the pass through camera is good, but not good enough to read a cell phone screen. After a quick update and installing some apps, I was good to go. UI and general use: The device is much better than previous versions. Hand tracking is amazing without a controller. Controller tracking is also great. The UI feels much more mature in this model. Grabbing and moving windows is easy now and there are plenty of experimental features such as Meta AI allowing for great voice control. My main concern is that as a cost saving measure, the optics only allow for three positions. I had my best results in the widest setting but it was never great as there were always blurry patches. The lenses are also plastic and have a sweet spot for focus which is a bit annoying. Speakers are great with good audio separation. Gaming: I primarily tested on the new Batman game. It is amazing on this device! I did not have any issues with motion sickness and any issues I had was with positioning of the optics. The set up boundaries work great in VR with virtual walls appearing when you get close to an edge. The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor is amazing for on device gaming and the illusion of being in Gotham was outstanding with detailed textures and great frame rates. The device is truly capable of high end gaming on the go. You can get even better results with the USB cable to game on your PC using the GPU to do the processing of higher end games. The controller inputs are extremely accurate and the visor blocks out all light with the exception of a tiny bit near your nose (depending on your nose size). Fitness games are great as well with the speakers providing good music output and the headset being relatively lightweight. Entertainment: Watching YouTube, Amazon or Netflix were great for me. The strap is minimal so you can wear it comfortably when lying down while watching a show. 1080p video looks great on with a large simulated screen. Work: There are plenty of apps for work using a virtual desktop in the store. I think the main issue here is that this model has a lower resolution compared to other models so it works for this use, but might not be the best device for that job. Battery: It is rated at 2.5 hours of use. I think this is fairly accurate as a 1:30 session in Batman used about 60% of my battery. There is an optional battery back strap you can get if you want more time. The controllers have great battery life but need replaceable batteries. I recommend you get optional controller charging station which uses rechargeable batteries

Bought two of these should have returned both. Battery life horrible. Not worth it in my opinion. Only used it twice and now is a regret.

The MQ3S is geared towards affordability and performance. In this I think it has stricken a good balance. Several things have been scaled down from its more expensive sibling. Frankly, the lower resolution has not affected my visual enjoyment. Games and movies look vibrant and quite clear. Eye adjustment has fewer options, and the field of view (FOV) is lower. In my experience, immersion suffers a tiny bit as the environment shows up occasionally when outside the play area. The environment see-through feature is slightly granny, but still works well. 128GB is OK, but since many AAA games go above 30GB, one must keep an eye on that. There’s always the 256GB option. The most disappointing thing (at least for me) is the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack. I must either pair a Bluetooth headset or buds or use USB-C compatible ones. Nevertheless, sound immersion is great when using the very capable side speakers. In reality, the lower resolution is not entirely a bad thing as the performance is buttery smooth due to the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and 8GB of RAM. I have yet to experience any significant slowdowns or hiccups while playing demanding games. If this was the only VR headset I owned, I would be totally happy. Also, the lower weight and design allows for a more comfortable, yet slightly unbalanced, fit. I found them quite comfortable when laying down and watching video content. The controllers are easy to hold and use, and the motion detection (with or without controllers) is tight and fairly accurate. The battery is great, since the basic display makes it last for at least 2 hours or more. All that said, I find the MQ3S is an amazing, affordable entry into the world of VR. It provides the full experience without breaking the bank.

My son got this for Christmas and it was the Walking Dead inside the Batman game. How does that get mixed up?
