    Purchased for my grandson. He is absolutely ecstatic about having this VR headset. The fit is easy to adjust, setup is easy, the media is practically endless. I experienced a VR 360 video of a snow packed base camp at Mt Everest. It was like being there, I literally felt cool. The futuristic worlds are fantastic. Cannot say enough about the amazing virtual reality world experience. It is simply fantastic, Worth every penny.

    Great Entry-Level VR Headset

    This is an excellent all-in-one VR headset. It’s a good upgrade over the older Quest 2 and the color passthrough is top notch. The main sacrifice you make over the Quest 3 is in the display and it’s a meaningful difference, but if you don't want to make the extra investment in the Quest 3 the Quest 3S is in a class of its own. The headset isn’t extremely heavy and feels comfortable on my face, though I definitely felt some fatigue about an hour into my play sessions with all of the weight on the front of my face. The included fabric strap is comfortable and pretty easy to adjust, but I think the Elite Strap or some similar 3rd party accessory is an essential purchase for this and really helps out with the long term comfort. The Touch Plus controllers are similar to the ones that were included with the Quest Pro, though they do not have built-in batteries (they run on AA’s) and don’t have inbuilt tracking like the Quest Pro’s controllers did. They’re comfortable to hold though and I haven’t had any issues with tracking since I’ve been using them. The display is the same as the one that was on the Quest 2. It doesn’t look bad, but having come from previously using pancake lenses on the Quest Pro I can definitely say the Fresnel lenses are of a noticeably lower quality by comparison and the sharpness falloff on the peripheral of my vision can be distracting at times. There are also only 3 fixed adjustments for the IPD and I feel like my ideal adjustment is somewhere in between them. If VR is a sometimes thing for you this is easy to live with, but if it’s going to be an everyday thing for you I think it’s worth investing in the higher end non-S model for the pancake lenses alone. The color passthrough is excellent and I love that there is a button on the headset that will quickly switch you between VR and AR. I wouldn’t say it looks ‘natural’, but it’s much much better than what I’ve experienced on the Quest Pro and I’m able to walk around and do pretty much everything with it on, including looking at my phone and watching TV. The general interface on the Quest 3S is easy to use and navigate using both my hands and the controllers. I really like how the sensors in the headsets can now automatically map out the room and define play areas so that no longer needs to be done manually. You don’t need a Facebook account to use the Quest, which is nice, but you will need to sign up for a Meta account. Playing games so far has been a great experience. The bundle I got included Batman Arkham Shadow, which is not just an excellent VR game but an excellent Batman Arkham game. You’ve got all the classic hits like Beat Saber and you also get 6 months of Meta Quest+, which gives you access to even more games. The Snapdragon XR2 processor isn’t going to match for a dedicated PC for VR, but it delivers some pretty impressive experiences for an all-in-one headset and you can still use the Quest 3S with a PC via a dedicated cable or wireless link. The headset has built-in speakers that sound pretty good, though they don’t quite measure up in the more immersive experiences and I’d recommend pairing some headphones. The Quest 3S doesn’t have a 3.5mm audio jack, but the USB-C port does support audio output and can use a 3.5mm adapter. I’ve been getting around 2 hours of battery life using the Quest 3S and I’d consider that to be adequate since being in VR for much longer than that makes me a bit nauseous anyway. The Quest 3S does include a USB-C charging cable and adapter, though I do wish the included cable was a little bit longer - it’s only about 3ft long. Overall I’m very happy with the Quest 3S. If you’re looking to get into VR for the first time and not sure if it’s going to be for you this is the one to get. For anyone more serious about VR the non-S model might be the better buy.

    This is a fun device and it’s nice that you can hear the sound without using ear plugs. Everything functions well and is seamless BUT I can’t give it five stars since it doesn’t come with the rechargeable battery kit. It’s a separate purchase which on many systems would be included. Having to worry about changing out batteries in the hand controllers is annoying.

    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’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.

    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.

    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.

    Most excellent VR for standard use, Lots of rooms to do many vr activities. It is a downgrade from the meta 3 bc of resolution but respectably its just as good charge time is 2 hours and play time is 4 hours after while youll get sick but thats anout nomral the more you play the sooner it will go away although it is abit heavy with the head straps being picky, perhaps invest in a new head strap. overall the system is excellent, good for everyday activities much fun

    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.

    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.
