    This is a great entry level VR game. It's so fun. I have tried the regular 3 and the 3S, I would prefer the 3 but for kids. This makes an amazing gift this holiday.

      Hi MichelleT

      Thank you for the five star review! We're so glad your son is loving his new Quest 3S, and even has a Metaverse buddy to go along with it as well!

      We truly wish your son your son all the best as he explores the Metaverse with his friends and hopefully gets to experience as much of it as possible, that 3-month Horizon+ trial will come in handy for that part!

      Thanks again for the great review Michelle and we wish you and your son a fantastic day ahead, and welcome to the Meta Family!

    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.

    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.
