Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!

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.

Kids love to "ride roller coasters" while sitting on the couch. This is a great VR headset where the games do not cost an arm and a leg. Fun little piece for the whole family to enjoy!

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.

Very amazing product, enjoy every game it has to offer. Would recommend searching up games online that you can play because the meta store doesn’t show everything, I found some of my favorite games from TikTok and YouTube!

Went in store with intentions of buying vr glasses, but I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. I’m not much of an”gamer”, but as a single dad with two boys that I don’t get to see nearly enough— I now have the capability to hang out and play rounds golf, pickleball, or even hang out and watch a movie together even though we’re in different cities. Also, the simulations are incredible.. As for the the headset itself, it fits well and the battery life is good too. Only drawback is the amount of time I spend searching apps and games.. There’s so much that I find myself searching more than playing sometimes— Similar to scrolling on Netflix :)

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 bought it as a Birthday gift for my son, he loves it, The setup is straightforward. The visuals are AMAZING. You really feel like you're right there in the middle of it all. My son know gaming so He took right off. Great experience.

Overall, this model has been a great experience. Transitions between home to games/apps have been smooth. Gameplay has been balanced and less lag like the older models had. Very happy with this purchase and looking forward to seeing what the future of VR has for us!

My experience with Best Buy was wonderful. To shop from the comfort of your own home and to enjoy the great deals and ability to find products that were not so easy to purchase elsewhere were easily available to find with Best Buy. I was able to purchase an Oculus and a travel safety case for my grandson at Christmas with ease. Best Buy is indeed, the best.

Kids love playing their games on these! They are comfortable to wear and play quality is fantastic. I really wish the controllers were rechargeable, that is my only complaint lol

Very cool product! I bought it as a gift for my partner and he absolutely loves it!
