Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second VR set that I have had in the last 5 years. My first experience was with an Oculus and I thought it was pretty good 5 years ago. This Meta Quest 3S has come a long way from the Oculus days in quality and price! Right out of the box you will notice how light weight it is, which is important if you plan to use it for at least a couple of hours. Even though it is lightweight, you can tell that you have a quality product in your hands. One major difference that I noticed from my last VR headset is that it comes with a glasses spacer. I normally wear contacts, but after a long day, I like to wear glasses. Having the glasses spacer makes it comfortable to wear glasses while using the VR headset. One of the first things you want to do is to download the Meta Horizon app. This is where you can access the extensive library that Meta offers. After fully charging the headset, it lasted a good 2 hours. There is so much to explore with the library. I simply can't get over all of the options that you can enjoy with this Meta Quest 3S. I spent the first hour just exploring and making notes of everything that I want to try out. The second hour I spent playing the Batman Arkham game. The video game experience was just mind-blowing. I really felt like I was Batman in this game! This is what you always dreamed of playing games as a little kid and now it is reality. On my second charge, I spent it watching some of my favorite shows and movies. I really loved having the option to go Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+ to watch on the large simulated screen. Another big difference that I noticed from my last VR set is the hand controller set. They are way more accurate and very intuitive and easy to manipulate when you are gaming. Overall, I am extremely please with this Meta Quest 3s. It is lightweight, easy to set up and easy to start accessing the extensive library once you get the account set up. I love that this device offers much more than just gaming. This is another great option for gaming and consuming video at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend this VR headset if you are shopping around other options.

Roller coaster made me sick I never recovered had to go to ER cause it induced a migraine with N/V.. it’s fun but I can’t recommend it

I’m 23, and this is too much for me. My wife and I would get headaches after 10 minutes. I think even for a kid this is dangerous.

I am considering returning it back , giving us a headache

first time user here with a VR system. I have some misconceptions and some things I guess I should have known prior to getting this device. Good: 1. Light weight 2. Comfortable to wear 3. Easy to charge with included cable and charger brick 4. Comes with adaptor for people that wear glasses 5. Sound is really good for size of speakers 6. Can play games, watch videos, or visit notable locations virtually 7. Lots of games to play (paid mostly) Bad: 1. About 1/2 of the total lens are blurry around to the center. so I really can't look down with out having to tilt my head as well, otherwise it is a blurry mess 2. Battery life is around 2 hours of light use, so no movies or long games unless you find a way to charge while using it 3. Setup was harder than I assumed. you have to download app, go through all those steps before you can even start to setup the VR system. 4. There are small amount of instructions on how to use this, it is more trial and error for the most part. my partner had some issues as well, so I know it was not just me 5. controllers are not rechargable (use 2 AA each) and it is hard to find the section that tells you the battery levels. So I would suggest you have some close by in case they stop working suddenly 6. hard to find free games to play to get use to the system. the demo you use, get you all ready to go and then there is a paywall. 7. passthrough is grainy and low resolution so it does not feel real life in the AR part of the system 8. controllers (in use) seem shaky, so adjusting/moving items in VR are not very easy 9. refresh rate is not quite up to par. When using a roller coaster simulation, you see the jitter on long smooth angles (like it renders the first part and then jumps to second part) 10. Unable to adjust lens to sharpen visuals (like turning the lens left or right) 11. Even a non motion sick person felt uneasy with graphics and movement

Not as expected or described. Horrible experience!

Could not align focus with or without my contacts.

I bought an Oculus Quest 2, right before the name change to Meta Quest 2, and I really loved the product at first, I used it quite a bit for a couple of months. But I found that my desire to use it waned and I wasn't sure why. Seeing ads, and reading about the Meta Quest 3S, I believe a large part of why I didn't play more was the size, weight and wires of the model that I owned. Opening up, and unboxing, this unit, the Meta Quest 3S, confirmed right away that I think that was the case. This unit is smaller, lighter and feels more usable in regards to the psychology of using something that you wear upon your head. I did have some issues getting going. The unit, when turned on, went to the Meta Quest blue logo and then would restart, this would continue on and on. I let it run out of battery power, and then charged it back up fully, and tried again. No luck, so I next restarted it, holding down the Volume - button and power on, releasing as soon as the unit showed activity on the screen. From there I selected factory reset and all was good upon rebooting. Getting into the actual VR I noticed immediately everything was vastly sharper and clearer, more like an actual current video game, versus an older one from the PS2 or maybe PS3 era. The clarity and refresh rate seemed much more rock solid and the first game I played, the one that comes with it, Batman Arkham Shadows, was really truly immersive, and I think a great game to get into VR if you haven't already. The main complaint, or issue, is that you must buy another headset strap, because the strap that comes with it, while a fine strap, simply doesn't offer the proper counterweight to the heft/weight of the actual unit. I used the unit for about 2 hours without any neck strain but I have a thick, muscular neck, and I feel most people are going to really have issue with the strap. Get the elite strap, or any other aftermarket strap and you're good to go. I also recommend a proper charging dock and an extra battery, whether you get it on your headstrap (keeping everything in one contained unit) or get one that just plugs into your headset, giving you the flexibility to use any strap you desire. The choice is yours, and it's really the only choice to be made here, as the Quest 3S is going to be a great headset for most VR users, and the best value headset for VR that you can find anywhere. And lastly, I'd be remiss if I didn't note just how amazing the AR is, augmented reality, because it will allow you to do a lot of things in VR that you would otherwise not be able to do without being aware of your surrounding world. It's truly a major upgrade that everyone should be aware of and what makes the 3S a real clear winner for all prospective VR owners.

Great product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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!

I gave thus to my son, he love it. He really did enjoy playing.

Excellent product! I bought it as a gift for my son. He loved it.

My son loves this. He's had it for months now and we haven't had any issues.

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.

My Grandson loved it! As soon as he received it, he started playing.

Very fun. The kids love it. Fun to go explorer things.

Got this for my self and then enjoyed it so much i love it

So far so good my kid absolutely loves it and I think it’s pretty cool.

This is one of the best investments not disappointed
