   Awesome Tech

   Really cool tech. The mixed reality is just blowing me away, and being able to do things like play a convincing round of mini golf in open air… man, the things they can do these days.A few cons do keep this from being a solid 5 for me:1. The battery life is garbage. They say 2.2 hours, that’s probably true if you’re just idling in a VR room with passthrough off, not downloading anything or doing anything at all. Playing a game, you get about 40 minutes. A headstrap with hot swap batteries is a must have.2. The lenses are very, very sensitive. Folks are scratching them even with microfiber clothes. I’d like for them to have been a lot tougher.

   Upgraded from a 2016 OG Vive headset. WOW has this come a long way.

   Picked it up on sale here for $429. I would have happily paid more if I had known how good this is.I use VR a lot, mostly for gaming, and had been using my old 2016 Vive with Valve Index controllers.It’s so wonderful to no longer have the lighthouses, to be able to take some games on the fly, to access both Meta exclusives and my full Steam Library (Using a Puppis Air Bridge was a snap). I’m ending this review because I want to go play more games.

   Four Stars for Reasons

   Right to the reason for four instead of five stars: It should come with a better strap and face shield. Period, it just should. We should not be required to buy these after the fact and trust me, you will. What it comes with is just uncomfortable on the face and produces headaches for me. Bad ones. I got the silicone face shield from Meta and a third party strap.That’s the bad. The good, is that this is a great tool. I use it for computing as well as games. It’s just great and what it does and I ended up liking it much more than I thought I would. If you are looking for games, exercise, or productivity, you will find this does it.I do boxing, fun, I hook it to my computer and do massive virtual monitors, and I a watch streaming shows on it through Netflix, YouTube, and Prime. It’s a powerful processor and I’ve not noticed any issues.Three annoying things.1. Battery life. It isn’t long, but isn’t terrible either. You will find you want to connect it to a long cable to charge while wearing or get a secondary battery.2. Sometimes the wifi disconnects. I have not had issues with this since the latest OS updates so make sure you update.3. It doesn’t remember all your spaces. I wish it would remember each room but it doesn’t seem to. This means I have to reset the boundary. That process is very fast (seconds) but I do wish it would just remember my house. It remembers one room just great, but not multiple.

   Almost perfect!

   Great improvement in picture quality from Quest 2. Worth $500? Depends on how exacting you are. I was disappointed that I had to buy a third party halo strap to get it to be as comfortable as I like, and in addition I had to buy a VRCover to cover the stock foam padding. That plus a nose light guard.Now it’s perfect! So I give it 4 stars because for $500 it should be more comfortable out of the box, or offer a custom fit option. Still a vast improvement over the 2 for picture quality and processor speed. Battery lasts about the same too. Just feel it’s a little pricey, and if I didn’t have a bunch of amazon gift card $$$$ saved up I would probably have waited until my Quest 2 died before upgrading. 🖖🏻

   Meta Quest 3

   Adquirí el Meta Quest 3 de 128GB y, en general, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto. Es excelente para consumir contenido y ofrece una experiencia inmersiva de alta calidad. Sin embargo, debo mencionar que el empaque llegó un poco dañado, lo que me generó cierta preocupación al recibirlo. A pesar de esto, el dispositivo en sí funciona perfectamente y cumple con las expectativas. Recomiendo el Meta Quest 3 por su rendimiento y la calidad de su experiencia de usuario.

   WOW

   Wow is all I can say.. this is pretty wild.. although I am still venturing into this metaverse.. I wish there were more apps that were provided at no cost.. it seems almost every thing I look into costs more funds. Still learning so they may be out there.. .fun way to get moving and get some exercise for sure!

   Wow

   I am impressed. A lot of the apps are cartoon but some are real and I feel like I’m there. Example, roller coasters I’ll fall down if not sitting. I do have some tech issues that come and go and getting help has been a problem. The first time I got help fast but ever since I am ignored so for this reason I suggest that unless you have a lot of spare cash, don’t spend your savings in it.

   Hard on the Eyes

   I can’t compare this headset to any other VR headset, but its pretty good, very immersive, very real. Lots of free content. Nothing else like it. Negatives: #1-you need a good deal of empty space to safely use this because it is extremely easy to get so involved in the VR that you start knocking things over and breaking stuff or hurting yourself. #2-its hard on the eyes, my eyes feel very stressed after only 15-20 minutes.

    Love it

    I think this is the best middle ground for VR out today. But I did manage to scratch a lens slightly while wearing my glasses and even tho people say it’s possible to wear glasses and use a quest 3 I highly recommend a protective lens screen or proscription lens inserts. To avoid what I had happen. Luckily it’s completely ignorable.

    I own a Quest 2 and bought this as a gift for my father. I will DEFINITELY be getting myself one!

    As an owner of the Quest 2, I wasn’t too sure how much of an upgrade this would be, but let me tell you, this thing is a significant upgrade that I think is well worth the cost.The way the weight is distributed, this thing feels lighter on my face than the Quest 2 ever did, and while I’m probably still going to buy the BOBOVR strap replacement for the Quest 3 (like I did for my Quest 2), it’s not because I think the Quest 3 is uncomfortable to wear. On the contrary, this thing is definitely more comfortable out of the box than the Quest 2 was, so anyone on the fence about comfort can lay those worries to rest immediately.I’ll be honest: When this thing first arrived and I tried it on, I wasn’t wowed like I expected to be by some monumental leap in clarity, crispness, and screen resolution. No, it wasn’t until that same night when I used my own Quest 2 again that I was blown away by the difference. Is it a staggering difference? No, it’s not. Is it VERY obvious when comparing the new and the old side-by-side? You better believe it.The Quest 3 is more comfortable to wear, improves upon the Quest 2’s already impressive motion responsiveness (which is huge for folks who suffer from motion sickness if the scene they’re viewing doesn’t move *precisely* in lockstep with their head movements), has UNBELIEVABLE hand tracking capabilities (this thing makes the Quest 2 look like a knockoff product in that regard), offers a noticeable bump in clarity and responsiveness, and takes the rudimentary pass-through visibility system from the Quest 2 and instead gives you a true «I can see everything around me, in color, without visible skewing or synchronization issues» experience when you’re wearing the headset and need to be able to see the world around you.Heck, even the built-in speakers (which were already excellent in the Quest 2) got a really nice bump in terms of volume AND fidelity. I don’t know if this thing is *actually* louder than the Quest 2 (at max volume), or if it just *sounds* louder because the speakers are positioned more intelligently when you’re wearing the headset, but either way it’s yet another significant upgrade.Bottom-Line: The Quest 3 is truly an upgrade over the Quest 2 in every way. This is an absolute home run product for Meta that I think literally everyone who enjoys gaming at any level will enjoy.If you own a Quest 2 and are still in love with the thing, I wouldn’t call this a «must buy,» but I *can* guarantee that you’ll be significantly impressed by the upgrade should you choose to pull the trigger.As for anyone who’s never owned a VR headset and is on the fence about taking the plunge? I’ll just say this: Back when the Quest 2 was first released in 2020 I told anyone who would listen that right then was *the* time to get into VR. The Quest 3 just made 2020 me look foolish, because this thing is a slam dunk experience, and NOW is objectively the time to hop on the VR train. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Don’t buy unless ok with being a public beta tester

    Basically the entire concept of VR with the general public is hit or miss, they haven’t nailed down away to make it affordable and easy to get into for the average person and I don’t see most people spending $500 on something like this; it’s not a high end game console by any means and that’s what that kind of money really is getting at, something high-end. It’s a fun novelty as of right now, You’re better off buying the Quest 2 or wait until the Quest 3S comes out sometime in the next year or two, Don’t drop $500 on this like I did. The feature set is still very limited, and a lot of games don’t take advantage of the fact THEY ARE IN VR and are still figuring out how mechanics should work in the setting that they’re in. Once companies figure out a way to make this an easy and accessible medium for people to get into whether it’s creating games for or hopping into a game with friends, then I’d say this would be worth every penny; but as of right now I’m the only one in my entire friend group that even considers VR interesting; much less, usable. They either have motion sickness issues which the VR industry has yet to figure out a way around that; or they just don’t have the money or drive to get into something that they deem «not worth it» due to the lack of support by most actual game developers whether Inde or otherwise. One day this medium will be something special and amazing, but that is not today. The technology is still in its infancy, here’s to hoping that something amazing can come of this and that Mark Zuckerberg didn’t end up trying to make this all a reality far too soon before it was possible; because if he did; The medium might be damned to an eternity of obscurity and an intense lack of support.

    Excellent standalone VR if you ignore the Meta parts

    The Quest 3 is my first experience with VR, and I love it, but I’m not a fan of the way Meta runs its platform. When you boot up the headset, the Horizon Feed and People apps automatically open, neither of which I want. Furthermore, Meta has perma-pinned Horizon Feed, People, and Horizon Store to the app bar, leaving only two slots to pin apps I actually want to use.

    My first thoughts as a previous Quest 2 owner:

    First of all: the box is AMAZING! The entire box which has the headset, controllers and charger fits inside my laptop backpack! I can even easily fit my MacBook Pro and headset in the backpack and still have space left! This makes it much easier to travel with the Quest without having to buy an expensive travel case. This wasn’t possible with the humongous box of the Quest 2.Now to the comfort. It’s fine. The facial interface feels premium, but is also hard to clean. The soft strap is still mediocre, but after a bit of fiddling, I found it quite comfortable. The softstrap also has the advantage of portability and being able to lay more comfortably on the couch. On the Quest 2, my lenses used to fog up a lot. This was one of my biggest annoyances. It’s so much better now. On the Quest 3 they still get some fog, but not nearly as much. It isn’t a bother to me anymore.The visuals: I haven’t experienced any blur, godrays or chromatic aberration YET. But I haven’t really looked for it either. That said, I found it to be very noticeable and distracting on the Quest 2. It is very obvious that the UI is rendered at a lower rendering target than the native display, as are most games. They still look good, but it feels like untapped potential. I will be testing it with my RTX 4090 at 150% supersampling soon.Passthrough: it’s okay I guess. The reports of it looking like 360p were very accurate. Theres also jitter, I think due to the lower refresh rate. The depth is very accurate when not at a near distance, that’s impressive. I was able to use my phone, but barely. Wasn’t very comfortable. Although I was able to type out a long message.Mixed Reality: I’ve only tried the First Encounters so far. The setup was simple, but honestly too simple. It wouldn’t let me add every wall in my living room, I think it capped at around 6 walls? Not sure though.This didn’t really affect my experience because OH MY GOD it was SO COOL. Seeing an alien bounce on the head of my sister (sitting across the room) while another one was climbing the furniture was really impressive. So much fun as well. I really hope that developers go all in on this. I wasn’t really a believer of Mixed Reality for gaming, only for productive purposes, but I am now.Also: even though I slandered the passthrough quality, which just isn’t good enough for real life activities, it was more than good enough for Mixed Reality. I was so immersed that when looking back on the experience, I can’t remember any grain or poor image quality. Even though it was definitely there. The overall experience was great.The controllers: I noticed that the haptics are a lot tighter than they were on the Quest 2. They aren’t very powerful or as impressive as on the PS5, but they are very very tight. Ans it helps a lot when navigating through the UI. Makes it feel a lot more intuitive. It just feels better.CONCLUSION: I honestly gave up on VR after the Quest 2. It was a good headset, but there were way too many small annoyances with it. Controllers buzzing when vibrating, lenses fogging up, having to take off the headset when grabbing the phone, front-heavy design, heavy chromatic aberration, etc.It’s too early to say, but I think that the Quest 3 might have just fixed nearly everything I hated about the Quest 2. It’s an impressive device overall.That is everything that comes to mind now. I’m not able to test it any further today as I have a busy schedule. But I will definitely be using it all day tomorrow. Enjoy your day y’all!

    A Big Leap for VR!

    I had bought a Quest 2 a few months ago to dip my toes in. I used it on and off but there were challenges and it got a little dusty. It required some fiddling to really use it. The biggest issue for me was the optics – the whole reason one buys VR. Trying to hit the sweet spot, ignore god rays and just use the product made me a little nauseous, literally. It worked but overall it got sidelined due to the effort required to get everythig running. Overall a fun experience though with promise.I pre-rdered the 512GB Quest 3 and Amazon delivered on release day after watching some event videos. The promise of a better experience got me. I havent spent a ton of time with it, but here is why I gave it 5 stars.1. Out of the box it worked and optics were clear. No fiddling with it or sideloading apps. The new lenses and slightly higher resolution is very noticable. In my Quest 2, it had to be in just the right position – no more with Quest 3. Edge to edge clarity. As I mentioned, this is the main reason one buys VR, vision.2. I am a glasses wearer. This worked with 30 seconds of adjustment. No spacer, no headache and was resonably comfortable.3. I loaded up a few of my games. I was super impressed with the clarity and smoothness. Full disclosure, I mostly buy on Steam. Why? I have a high end PC and graphics card and, well, again visuals matter here.4. Pass through / Mixed Reality has potential. It’s maybe not practical yet and a little buggy, but way better than the Quest 2. This is pretty cutting edge and I would argue pretty new. It will not be a reason to buy this headset today, but it works as expected.Probably my biggest dissapointment with Meta is that they used the same UI. As a developer, I didnt find it intuitive on the Quest 2 and struggles with there things are. No update at all that I can see on the 3. I get the balance, releasing a new one risks alienating the current fan base, but when you buy a new device, you kind of expect UI improvement. Hopefully they release improvements in the future.I see a lot of reviews already where people give less than 5 stars due to issues that if you think about it, arent really related to the product sold.I think the biggest downside isnt a problem with the Quest itself – just slow adoption and development in the VR market as a whole. This isnt on Meta. They are trying to drive innovation and allow developers to create more immersive experiences and have done a pretty good job at building the framework. As the audience grows, developers get on board and develop apps that can be used.Where I think this shines is that its as good as much higher priced VR available as of today. I can enjoy it for a year or two until the next big VR release. I expect there will be releases that improve the Mixed Reality and UI during my time with it. The lack of headache in getting into VR and having it just work hits the target. The improved visuals make it a worthwhile investment if VR is something you are interested in. To keep it from getting dusty is on developers. I have a few games I like. Half-Life: Alyx has set a standard and shows what is possible. It doesnt feel cartoonish and I get into the environment. I got the Asgards Wrath 2 voucher with mine and cant wait to see what that looks like next month.My WISH is that VR can get to the point where it can replace my monitors. Being able to spin up virtual monitors as needed for coding and being in an environment of my choosing is the dream. Steam comes close and Im sure this is right around the corner, so learning to live part time in VR now is worthwhile!

    2 Meta Devices 1 Household – BEWARE

    Amazon 5 Stars. Meta 1 Star! My husband bought one through a different store and we loved it but noticed the person watching the casted experience doesn’t have as much as fun as the person with the headset. So we bought a second one on Amazon so we could play things together. It arrived without issue. What we didn’t know is that app sharing only works on one device, so to play with the other person we’d have to double purchase every app on the second device. That is a joke. We returned the second Meta because of this.

    Obviously cool tech but does not come with everything you need

    So we already know the meta quest 3 is an amazing piece of hardware. for you buyer, just know that firstoff you MUST buy a comfort headband addon as the base strap is uncomfortable and kind of terrible . Also go ahead and buy the extra long power cable cause you will need it. Finally make sure you have an up to date router with fast internet as these are requirements to do almost anything on the quest 3. Good buy but be ready to shell out extra money for the addons that should have come included

    Greatly improved resolution over previous model

    This was purchased to replace an original Oculus Rift used for flight simulation. The Oculus 3 resolution enables reading gauges (greater detail).The installation directions provided were incomplete and make assumptions about what software will be used. Details needed were available online. The process would freeze, but had completed correctly.The amount of weight hanging on the front of the head creates some neck strain after 15-20 minutes. This is with the default headstrap.

    A reasonable upgrade from the Quest 2

    I guess it doesn’t take a whole lot to wow people these days, because reading some other reviews or watching videos on the Quest 3 you could be led to believe it’s some life-changing improvement over the Quest 2. It’s really not. It is an upgrade in just about every way, but not by some insane amount. Everything is simply a little better than the Quest 2. FOV? A little better than the Quest 2. Lens clarity? A little better than the Quest 2. Screen resolution? A little better than the Quest 2 (most of this probably goes to your improved FOV actually, since PPD is just a wee bit higher here). It’s a little smaller, a little better balanced, technically heavier I think but since it’s closer to your face it’s less of an annoyance. The biggest upgrade is probably in the passthrough cameras and Time of Flight sensor, but this is something you’re rarely using outside of a few choice games, and the quality is frankly kinda ugly. Don’t get me wrong, the few little mixed reality things I played (like their demo) are fun, and the ability to map spaces is cool if painfully underutilized, but it really feels like they were just trying to tick boxes here. As for the extra graphical horsepower, I feel like calling it «twice as powerful» is a big, big stretch, or at the very least all that power doesn’t seem to be doing much yet, the few «Quest 3 enhanced» titles I’ve played so far do look better, but not by a whole lot. It’s still a good headset, but I’d say if you’re already using a Quest 2, and especially if you’re already deep in the Quest 2 ecosystem, you’d be better off waiting, because for the privilege of these upgrades you lose compatibility with almost literally everything you bought for your Quest 2.

    Fun. Watch out for some motion sickness

    totally reignited my job in video games. Beat Saber is a favorite. some of the more immersive games cause a little bit of motion sickness but that isn’t uncommon and there are articles all over the internet giving you advice on how to fix that. It basically a matter of getting used to it. Most games have a warning level on how comfortable they are related to motion shickness and most games can be returned if they cause too much motion shickness. All in all a good deal as long as you are willing to create a Meta account.

    Great upgrade!

    I’ve been a heavy user of the Oculus Quest 2 since it came out and kind of felt like I didn’t really need to upgrade to the new Quest 3. But curiosity got me and I purchased it.I’m very happy with it, more than I expected to be.First of all, it’s a lot lighter which makes it way more comfortable to wear, especially for longer periods.Second, the color passthrough is a big upgrade, you can see the room clearly and even see and use your phone through it, not grainy black and white like in the original Quests. Many apps and games support passthrough so the upgrade is noticeable. Scanning the room is also a lot simpler with the new device, you don’t need to draw your boundary, the device recognizes your surroundings for you.Third, the strap that comes with it is a lot better than the stock strap that came with the Quest 2. It’s much easier to adjust, which is especially useful if other people want to try your device. I still recommend getting a third-party strap but you can get along with the one that’s included (with the Quest 2 I immediately replaced the stock strap with a halo strap).Fourth, the screens are a LOT better, they are clearer, better graphics, and most of all, there aren’t weird blurry/fuzzy areas you would see with the Quest 2. Just for this the upgrade is worth it.Fifth, the hand controllers are lighter and nicer.The only downside I have with the Meta Quest 3 is that for some reason the hand controller batteries run down REALLY quickly. Even if you’re not using the device for some reason. With the Quest 2 the controller batteries would last for weeks, it was actually quite surprising how long they lasted. With the Quest 3 the controller batteries just run down while the device is turned off. It’s pretty annoying but I learned to always have a pair of rechargeable AA’s nearby to just swap them out when needed. I hope Meta can solve this problem with a software update.

    A Leap Forward For Mixed Reality

    I owned the original Oculus Rift and upgraded to the Meta Quest 3. It was a big leap forward for me.— TRACKING —Gone are the days when you had to have fixed sensors in your room with a fixed play area. Now, you can bring this anywhere and play wirelessly, with or without a computer. Just the fact that I don’t need sensors is a win. The tech packed into this can detect your surrounding environments quickly and easily. It even tracks your hands and you can navigate with just your hands using gestures similar to an iPad/iPhone.— SCREEN —The screen is a big improvement over previous generations, including Meta’s Pro model. The colors are vibrant, the sharpness is perfect, and getting your head in the sweet spot is much easier. I advise using an app to measure your eye distance (like Eye Measure), and then you can adjust the lenses to suit your exact eye distance for optimum viewing comfort.— STORAGE —I got the 512GB because I was torn about their pricing model. I didn’t want to underdo it so I spent the extra money so I had more space, even if I didn’t know if I would need it. Frankly, 256GB would’ve been perfect for me personally at the moment.— WIRELESS PLAY —The games runs off the headset—if you buy games from the Meta Quest store. They do run more expensive and the sales are okay when they’re there. If you have been buying VR games on Steam, you can run them wirelessly with SteamVR as long as your computer’s graphics card is compatible. You can also physically connect a USB-C cable to a computer to play your games.— GAMES —Games feel like an elevated Nintendo 64 at the moment. The tech is there, we just need higher-quality textures and more AAA games when the masses start pouring in. Most games seem to have a stylized polygonal quality to them, and few games are going for a realistic look. Currently, I would say the quality of games is good enough for where the technology is at the moment in terms of the processing power that’s in the headset at this price point.One of the great things is Asgard’s Wrath II is included free with purchase and this is one of those games that takes full advantage of this headset’s capabilities. You also get a 6-month free trial of Quest+, which is two pre-selected curated games per month for as long as you’re a member; you lose those games when you cancel, but if you subscribe again your library will be there.— APPS —Besides games, you can use different apps with this. I use Virtual Desktop to access my 3D movie files on my computer, plus other media I have. I can also access my SteamVR games this way as well. Then there are media consumption apps like Amazon and Netflix. Explore and you’ll find useful things to install.— MIXED REALITY —This is part of the future of gaming, baby. Having a big play space at home combined with a mixed reality game is one of the most fun experiences to have. This is also similar tech in Apple’s Vision Pro. There are a couple of free games included, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds in this growing game category.— BATTERY —The battery lasts on average about two hours. For me, that’s great because I generally get a little dizzy before that period so the headset will die before I get fully nauseous. VR dizziness is a real thing and I advise that if you start feeling some type of way, to stop sooner rather than later. I would build up your brain’s tolerance to VR slowly. If you get dizzy, start timing how long it takes. Take a day off and try to add 10 minutes or so in the next session, until you can go longer.If you are one of the lucky few who are not affected by dizziness, you can plug this into a wall while playing and it will charge while you play. In theory, you could play non-stop with the right cable and charger.— SUMMARY —If you haven’t gotten into VR yet, try it out in the stores. If you like it, then definitely get the Meta Quest 3. If you’re unsure, you could wait for a price drop hopefully around Christmas of 2024.

    Arrived today: Seems to work good – read review.

    The product arrived today, i recorded the opening and bootup.No dead pixels, passthrough works, there was a small issue with the nose piece not set but after looking it up it seems to be a common issue because of the way the VR opens/closes to adjust to face sizes.If this occurs, gently push along the nose ridge and it will readjust itself as long as no lock-tab parts are actually damaged. I lucked out, as none of the tabs were broken and were able to go back into place.The amazon box it came in again didn’t have any protection what so ever. But the product itself was fine/stable in it’s package box with appropriate padding.I had no issues getting it registered to meta, and grabbed a couple of free games that downloaded quickly enough. I haven’t tried them, but I did explore the passthrough and nonpassthrough feature.Visual wise it’s actually quite a bit more clear/crisp compared to the ps4 Vr(which is what I can compare it to). As it has a higher resolution/pixel count. I still haven’t taken off the default stickers that protect the lenses until I can put on lense protectors. But even through all of the writing on the label that tells you NOT to use any form of liquid cleaners, even lense. It’s visual is damn good.The passthrough visual via camera is on par with a ps4 VR headset: and suffer’s some glitches when it hits reflective surfaces but that is normal as camera’s hate that extra reflection of light.. But interface/scenes are definitely more clear and crisp. Sound quality is good, not like being at a rock concert, but goes loud enough to enjoy. Headsets for sound actually aren’t really needed for this VR.I haven’t hooked it up to a computer yet, as it’s suppose to be the ‘big’ gift for me and my fiancé to enjoy over Christmas. As it was a purchase done by the both of us – after calculating expenses..So the big question: Is it worth the money?My answer: Yes, I recommend going for the larger size because most of the games you will be downloading are often between 5-40gb.. With a few exceptions that could easily hit 80gb – example skyrim(haven’t checked the store to see if that one is available on meta). Plus any mods one might want to add to the games.I was glad to see they had some of my more unique playstation favorites in their store. This made me happy, despite needing to buy it again. (Btw The Wizards* is excellent and lets you feel like your literally casting spells, or using a bow.)With that said, go for the BIGGER hard drive: it will make it so your VR can hold more then 3 games without suffering quality issues. As you always want to leave room(1-5gb) for the OS(opperating system) to run smoothly. Then you won’t have to worry about uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing cache/HD maintence every time you want to change your lineup.**For people with limited understanding of storage space 512GB should easily allow you to store 15-25games which if you have ‘data’ usage limits for whatever reason would avoid burn up of data by constantly downloading the same thing.

    Great VR Performance with Some Drawbacks

    I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for a while now, and there’s a lot to love, but also a few things that could be better.Build Quality: First off, the build quality is excellent. It feels solid and well-made, which gives me confidence that it’s going to hold up over time. The design is sleek and comfortable for extended use (with the right accessories).Performance: The performance is top-notch. Everything runs smoothly, from games to apps, with no noticeable lag or hiccups. It’s powerful enough to handle everything I’ve thrown at it so far. And when paired with powerful PC, gaming in VR on the PC is one of the best gaming experiences.App and Game Selection: The app and game selection is impressive. There’s a wide variety to choose from, and it keeps getting better with new releases. Whether you’re into gaming, fitness, or just exploring virtual environments, there’s something for everyone. Some of the games are pricey though.Screen Quality: The screen quality is okay—not amazing, but not bad either. It gets the job done, but it’s not a standout feature. I was hoping for a bit more clarity, especially given the price point.Light Leak: One downside I’ve noticed is the light leak around the edges. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it can be distracting, especially in darker scenes. It takes away from the overall immersion, which is a bit disappointing.Battery Capacity: The battery life is another area that could use improvement. It’s on the smaller side, so I find myself needing to charge it more often than I’d like. If you’re planning on long sessions, you might need to keep a charger nearby.Overall, the Meta Quest 3 is a solid VR headset with great performance and a lot to offer, but it’s not without its flaws. If you can look past the screen quality, light leak, and battery life, it’s still a fantastic choice for VR enthusiasts.Recommended Accessories:AMVR Facial InterfaceUpgraded head strap (Kiwi or Bobo VR)Battery Pack (Kiwi or Bobo VR)Controller Grip Cover (Any brand will do)

    Game Changer

    My top 10 reasons to buy the Quest 3 over other headsets:1. Best stand alone headset for the money! (Even better than the Quest 2, see next point).2. Best lens technology and it’s not even close. (Better than PSVR2, Quest 2, etc) Only buy pancake lenses. The sweet spot is massive (sharp vs blurry). This is enough to upgrade from the Quest 2 alone. Do your eyes and brain a favor.3. Backwards compatibility with Quest 2/1 and other Meta headsets. Some are upgraded for the new hardware but even if Quest 2 games are not upgraded for Quest 3 they will look sharper and the frame rate will run smoother/stable which will reduces fuzziness while turning your head. You also have the QGO (Quest Games Optimizer) that will overclock the Quest 3 to run the games at higher resolutions and frame rate a lot of the times at 140%+ on average I have found. I do not recommend QGO for casual players.4. Game/App sharing with one other user simultaneously and online on another headset. I have 2 Quest 3s and this is a wallet/life saver. We can play multilayer games together on separate headsets with only one purchase.5. It’s mobile. It’s a VR headset you can take to a friend’s house and share with ease. Sharing VR is the best, especially when you have 2 headsets and are playing multiplayer together.6. Best Mixed/Augmented Reality headset for the money and it’s not even close. The only other headset is the Apple Vision at $4.5K.7. Great for long distance friendships/relationships. It is the only way to feel like you are spending time with someone in the same room (not exclusive to Quest 3).8a. Meta’s global user friendly operating system. This is helpful for new players to jump in and significantly reduces the stress of teaching a new player. (See next bullet)8b. You can stream the gameplay to your Meta App or TV for others to watch wired or wirelessly. (This helps a lot while coaching new players)9. You can play Xbox Gamepass via the cloud with an Xbox controller in the headset. (Quest 3 Only)10. Watch regular and real 3D movies, relax/meditate, surf the web, listen to music, play Xbox, VR/AR games, and YouTube in peace without people bothering you or you bothering people.Favorite games right now:- Dungeons of Eternity- Demeo/Demeo Battles AR/VR- Asgards Wrath 2 (Q3 upgrade)- Contractors Showdown- Red Matter 2 (Q3 Upgrade)- Walkabout Mini Golf- Hauntify (Q3 only/AR Horror Game)- Multiplayer Sports Games (Any)Future Quest 3 games not on Quest 2:Batman: Arkham ShadowAlien: Rogue IncursionHitman 3: ReloadedBehemothMetro Awakening

    Spectacular VR with Mixed Reality

    The jump from Quest 1 to Quest 3 is huge. I skipped Quest 2 as I wanted the portable VR headset technology to be more mature before investing more money in VR. Everything has improved tremendously, especially the visual and sound which are the most critical components of VR experience.The sweet spot to get a clear image is much wider and easier to obtain with the Quest 3. The images are crisp and the 3D sounds are so much better. The days of dealing with fuzzy images of Quest 1 have become a past memory.The slow and laggy response of the menu has become a thing of the past with the Quest 3 processor which is multiple times more powerful than Quest 1.The game First Encounters demonstrates the ability of the passthrough cameras in future gaming. Although the passthrough cameras are not perfect with some distortion of colors and shapes. But chasing aliens around the living room makes you soon forget the imperfection of the cameras and the imperfections become a minor issue. The cartoony aliens look like they are really there with 3D sounds to match their locations.Playing Vader Immortal clearly shows that even the games not optimized for Quest 3 still benefit from drastic improvements in optical and audio experiences. I have all three of the Vader Immortal and it is great to play them all over again in Quest 3. The visual is so much better with images looking smooth, clear, and substantially higher resolution.The 40% slimmer headset allows much better weight distribution closer to the face resulting in a much more comfortable headset. I have heard that the Elite strap from Meta is one of the essential elements for comfort. But I found using my head strap foam pad that I bought for my Quest 1 works well enough for comfort.I bought the 512 MB version as many of my old Quest 1 apps were worthy to use in Quest 3 which already took a big chunk of the memory. Video recording takes another chunk, and the newer apps can take multi GB with probably bigger apps that are coming which take advantage of the Quest 3’s power. The 512 GB version also comes with a 6-month Meta Quest+ trial which I think helps to justify the cost. However, I wish they made a 256 GB version for about $575.I don’t have a Quest 2 to compare with but the reviews that I read tend to agree that Quest 3 is not just an upgrade but a generation above the Quest 2.Quest 3 has clearly revolutionized Portable VR and Mixed Reality to a whole different level!Disclaimer: I don’t work for Meta and this review is based on my several hours of experience with the Quest 3. Hope it helps!10/25/2023 Update: The front weight of the Quest 3 unit makes the faceplate press onto the face which is probably the thing I hate the most about the unit. But I think I have found the solution:1. Halo Head Strap with a good posterior cushion (or attach a separate posterior head cushion).2. Take out the faceplate (less immersive but so much more comfortable!).3. Use a counterweight such as two small liquid ice packs (about 1/2 pound total) in a ziplock bag attached to the back of the head strap using a velcro strap.It is almost like wearing glasses with the weight distributed onto a heavier cap.

    Great headset, but some issues versus Quest 2.

    I loved my Quest 2…had it since launch of the Quest 2. It did have some drift problems develop on the controllers though, which became somewhat of a pain at times, especially in competitive online multiplayer FPS games (Contractors is mainly what I play). The Quest 3 has already started developing some mild drift on my left thumbstick, and that that is pretty disappointing, for as new as this Quest 3 is. I play it for several hours probably every other night, on average…but it still shouldn’t have drift already.I also noticed micro-scratches on the lenses, ALREADY. The lenses are great, except that issue. They create a very clear and probably no warping or blurriness on the edges either, which is a small issue on Quest 2 (though still not one that bothered me). The coating on the Quest 3 lenses is apparently very sensitive to scratches. I never noticed any scratches in the 3+ years I had my Quest 2, and I always would wipe it with micro-fiber cloths, like what I’ve done since getting the Quest 3. It is very disappointing to have that happen already as well, like the drift issue. Seems to have been almost within the first few times of cleaning the lenses (again, with specific lens cleaning, very soft, micro-fiber cloth too…must be the dust gets dragged around while wiping it, but that is seemingly way too sensitive to scratching then).One other issue I have seen that is not so great with Quest 3 is tracking. I randomly lose tracking (seems to be headset and controllers, since the system will say «tracking lost», and cuts out of the game I’m in, for no clear reason (but luckily not too often either). I have the same lighting and location as I regularly play in, and played in with Quest 2 without those issues, and yet, to randomly lose tracking is a headscratcher. Really messes with your game when in the middle of some action. Also, the controllers don’t have quite the same consistent solid tracking that the Quest 2 has, in my opinion. Mind you, I do use controller holders/cups/sleeves to put the controllers in, which came with the gunstock I use for my primary VR FPS gaming, but that is where it is frustrating to know that without the tracking rings as on the Quest 2 controllers, the Quest 3 apparently has some of its tracking done in the «handle» of the controllers(?). Hmm, so that would be where my problem lies, and still degrades the experience with the Quest 3. I mostly am able to track solid, but it doesn’t pick up on all movements as well as on my Quest 2. Luckily, this tracking issue doesn’t end up being game breaking, but hinders better results and often makes the controllers jump back into place slightly, more often than not, for a moment. A bit of an immersion breaker and another annoyance.The field of view and extra pixels/resolution are 2 upgraded characteristics that are great but not a game-changer, but noticeable and pretty nice semi-upgrade (again, it’s not a huge difference, but nice enough to notice).Would I recommend Quest 3 though? Yes, in most cases. The overall hardware is much up a step up in processing power, and the visuals are clearer and crisper and enough of a field of view upgrade to appreciate that. But, I would still whole-heartedly recommend Quest 2 for anyone not feeling sure about the price of Quest 3 and not sure if they will keep playing VR enough to get their money worth. To me though, for those that stop playing, I can’t see why not, because VR is a whole new eye-opening and mind-blowing experience to be «in the game» than even high-end PC and console games. There are plenty of great games in VR to experience, and graphics are not always as important as the gameplay and experience of feeling so immersed that sometimes you forget you have a headset strapped to your face/on your head. Some people get motion sickness though, and some are just not impressed by much. To each their own. For me, I was sold from the first time I even tried a demo of some of the original VR systems back in 2016. It’s my main gaming platform now, and probably will remain as such. I find it hard to go back to «flat» games, even many of the AAA popular games. By the way, Azgard’s Wrath 2 is a really cool game, AAA style game play and it was a nice perk when getting my Quest 3 to get it for free.

    A billion times better than the Quest 2.

    UPDATE: 10 Months Later (Updated on Aug 15)COMFORTThe Quest 2 was so unbearably painful and uncomfortable for me, no matter what I did, that I ended up returning it a day later.I was actually afraid that the Quest 3 wasn’t worth getting because it weighs the same as the Quest 2, even 12 grams more.But the Quest 3, with its default strap, is wonderful to wear. It doesn’t feel heavy at all. I like how the facial interface, headset weight, and straps feel. I can wear the Quest 3 for countless hours without feeling any discomfort. If a person is experiencing discomfort, it is because they didn’t adjust the straps properly.TIP – ADJUSTING STRAPSWhen adjusting the headset for the first time, the top middle strap should be adjusted first. It determines how high up or how low the headset will be on your head. And the most important adjustment are the headset arms because they determine how clear your vision will be and how comfortable the headset will be. You want to adjust the top middle strap and the interface until your eyes are centered in front of the lenses, and then adjust the angle of the headset arms until your vision is perfect. The back straps will determine how snug the headset will be on your head. I recommend making it loose and not at all snug, so long as the headset won’t slide around your face. For those who ever experience discomfort, it’s because the headset arms are not at a good angle which causes the pressure of the headset to be solely on the forehead which will go numb due to a lack of blood flow.PASSTHROUGH IS AWESOMEI originally didn’t care about passthrough and foolishly wished that they didn’t upgrade it. I thought that Meta could make the headset lighter if they didn’t add extra passthrough cameras. But the Quest 3 is not at all heavy and is very comfortable. Passthrough is important to me now. It let’s me be entertained and productive while also being fully aware of my surroundings. Passthrough is important for apps like Virtual Desktop and some games use passthrough.The Quest 3 passthrough isn’t crystal clear, but it is definitely good and leaps and bounds better than Quest 2’s. I have no complaints whatsoever and am really happy with it. Also, I think that a software update made the passthrough a tiny bit better.LIGHT LEAKAGE ISN’T A PROBLEMThere is a small opening around the nose area. It’s very small and not at all noticeable. I have spent countless hours on the Quest 3 using all sorts of apps and playing all sorts of games, and that small opening has never been noticeable to me. In fact, it has been immensely useful. I can tilt my head towards the ceiling to peek through that opening at my computer screen if I need click on something but don’t want to take my headset off. Having that small opening lets me keep track of my surroundings so I don’t bump into furniture or stub my toe. If people seriously think that the small opening takes away from the immersion, they can get a cheap nose cap on Amazon.SMART GUARDIANAnother thing that I like about the Quest 3 is that there is a smart guardian. On the Quest 2, if you step outside a small circle, you get kicked out of the app that you were using and get told to create a new boundary which is very time consuming. On the Quest 3, I have my entire house as my boundary. Well, to be specific, I only drew the boundary in the rooms that I needed. So for me, the boundary included my living room, kitchen, bathroom, and hallways in between. It’s so great to be able to walk around the entire apartment and be able to continue using VR and AR with no interruptions.MEMORY SPACEI bought the 128 GB version. If there had been a 256 GB version, I would have bought that instead and it really bothers me that Meta did a crap move by not providing us with a 256 GB version. I didn’t want to spend an extra $150 for the 512 GB version, and I still don’t wish that I could go back in time and get the 512 GB version instead. Out of the 128 GB, around 22 GB is being used for System apps. But before Asgard’s Wrath 2 came out, I had around 30 apps and games installed (most games only take up around 4 GB or less) and still had 51 GB available. Unfortunately Asgard’s Wrath 2 takes up 36 GB of memory. But it is fast and easy to uninstall and reinstall apps, so we have a way to manage space if we run out of room.PRODUCTIVITYI like using Virtual Desktop to have multiple computer monitors, and I can use the passthrough mode on it to do things like exercise, indoor walking, and indoor biking. It’s cool that I can still see the virtual screens when I have my face buried in a yoga mat. The Quest 3 may end up being a life changer and game changer for me. It might help me be more productive and be a happier person in general.LYING DOWN MODEQuest 2 received the Lying Down mode in version 63.0. Quest 3 received it in version 64.0. However, the Lying Down mode does have its flaws which I will explain later.QUEST 3 – WORTH THE PURCHASE, NOT EXPENSIVE IF YOU DON’T BUY UNNECESSARY THINGSThe Quest 3 is something that every single person on this planet should experience if they can afford it. It cost me $499 plus tax and came to $533. I didn’t think that I would need any additional accessories, and 10 months later that is still true for me. I still don’t need a different headstrap or extra battery packs. I just use a 20 foot extension cord.I just can’t get over how great the Quest 3 is. I hated the Quest 2. I don’t know what other VR headsets are like, but the fact that most of them at least 200 grams heavier doesn’t appeal to me. But the Quest 3 is delightful.VR COVERSI could live without VR covers, but I went ahead purchased some around five months later for those rare moments when my face is extra sweaty. Two VR covers on the VR Cover website would have cost me $61.20 (after a 10% discount code and $9 shipping). On Amazon, it costs $38.46 for two VR covers (after $7 shipping and $2.50 taxes, and free returns). The VR covers are extremely well designed and fit the interface perfectly. The improvement in comfort is very minimal, but it probably does make a tiny bit of difference.BATTERY LIFEI use the Quest 3 while it is plugged into an extension cord. On some apps and games, the battery level stays around the same. On other games and apps, there is a small drain while the Quest 3 is plugged in but I can play a very long time. Some games use a lot of battery, but I can play for a very long time and the battery will still have 20-40% left after I am exhausted. But I have never had the battery die on me before I finished my gaming session when the Quest 3 is plugged into an extension cord. I definitely do not suggest using the Quest 3 unplugged. Two hours goes by too fast, and that is two hours maximum. If you are using some demanding apps and games, especially with Passthrough, the battery will probably only last 45-55 minutes.TIP – USE EXTENSION CORD INSTEAD OF BATTERY PACKSI just use a 20 ft extension cord in which I plug in the Quest 3 wall charger and link cable that comes with the headset. It lets me go into every room in the house without unplugging anything. I just tuck the heavy extension cord in the front of my pants which just leaves the default Quest 3 link cable between my waist and headset. That default Quest 3 link cable is light and actually a bit long, so I usually wrap it around my neck once so my controllers won’t get caught and snagged on the cord.APP – VIRTUAL DESKTOP (FOR WIRELESS)Virtual Desktop. I prefer it over the Oculus Link. If you decide to use Virtual Desktop, you only need to buy the Quest version (don’t buy the Steam version), and then go to the computer browser Virtual Desktop website and download the free Virtual Desktop Streamer App for your PC. The free Virtual Desktop Streamer App is what streams your PCVR games to your Quest headset (so you can play them on your headset), wirelessly. By the way, wireless does not have any lag or loss of performance that I am aware of, so don’t think that you need a cable to connect your Quest 3 to your computer for PCVR gaming. I think that it is better to use a wireless connection. It has been advised to have a good WIFI router and to use an Ethernet Cable to connect your WIFI router to your PC. I did use an Ethernet Cable, but my router is a four year old ARRIS SURFboard SBG6900AC Docsis 3.0 16×4 Cable Modem/ Wi-Fi AC1900 Router that I bought for $106 and it worked well, so maybe you don’t need the best WIFI routers since my router isn’t that great.TIP – WIRELESS VS WIRED. SAVING MONEY.If you use Virtual Desktop, you won’t be using a link cable. And I absolutely loathe Oculus Link (Wired and Wireless), so there hasn’t been any need for me to use a link cable at all. I just use an extension cord to keep my battery charged and I use a wireless connection for virtual desktop apps like Virtual Desktop and PCVR games. An extension cord is probably better at keeping the Quest 3 charged than a link cable connected to a computer. The extension cord I bought only cost $15, but the 16 ft Quest Link cable costs $80.TIP – OCULUS LINK PROBLEMSOne thing about Oculus Link (Wireless) and Oculus Link (Wired) is that they might not work right unless you go to Go to Oculus Desktop App > Settings > Beta > and enable Public Test Channel and let the app update. I don’t use Oculus Link, but that is important to know so please make note of it. Some apps and games only work with Oculus Link, but I have only encountered one or two games that only worked with Oculus Link and they were both game that I did not care for and uninstalled.RECOMMENDED APP – USE VIRTUAL DESKTOP (NOT IMMERSED)I like using Virtual Desktop to access my computer screen. It’s easy to grab and move the windows around, and it has Headlock so it can follow your head movements or even follow you as you walk around the house. And it works in passthrough mode.Don’t use Immersed. Immersed purposely made it so that their app won’t work if your PC is connected to one or more external monitors. Immersed virtual screens are extremely difficult and practically impossible to move around. Immersed’s free plan only lets you have 1080p monitors at most, but Virtual Desktop lets you have 1440p if you have multiple monitors and even higher resolution if you are only using one virtual monitor. Immersed is a really buggy, flawed, and annoying mess. The only good thing about it was that it allowed you to be around other people and the Meta avatars were nice.RECOMMENDED GAMES AND APPSHonestly, the only thing that I use the Quest 3 for these days is Virtual Desktop and VR adult stuff. I had played Red Matter 1 and 2 and mostly enjoyed them, but I only played them the one time because they don’t have any replay value.I had some games installed that were worth trying out, but I haven’t played them in a long while. Those games are Beat Saber, Survival Nation, Project Terminus, Arizona Sunshine, Propagation: Paradise Hotel, Resident Evil 4 (VR), The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners, and Doom 3 (VR).I recommend using Lighting Launcher. It’s great for organizing games and it is free. You can easily create and rename groups, have certain groups be the default location for newly installed apps, adjust the tile size of apps, use custom images for apps, change the names of the apps, hide apps, and more. You will no longer need to go digging around for your Unknown Sources apps as they will appear alongside the other apps. The UI and background image of Lighting Launcher looks great.I also paid $10 for Quest Games Optimizer (QGO). It lets you increase the resolution of games (not PCVR games). I’m not sure if this app really makes a difference or if it is worth getting, but I bought it and I used it on occasion. The one time that I noticed a remarkable difference is when I increased the resolution of Horizons Home, the environment that you see when you first turn your Quest 3 headset on. Just remember that increasing the resolution and CPU/GPU usage will cause a faster battery drain, which wasn’t a problem for me because I kept my headset plugged into an extension cord.GAMES – PCVR GAMESI have a laptop with GTX 1650 and i5-9300H. It doesn’t handle PCVR games well, but it can handle some with minimal to moderate lag. But most games are unbearably laggy.COMPLAINTSThere is a serious issue with all Quest 3 headsets known as the water debris error. «USB-C charging port disabled… Liquid or debris has been detected…» Most people experienced this since v62, around the time the Quest 3 headsets were first released. I was lucky to never have experienced it until 10 months later on Aug 2024. Meta is acting like they will help me, but only because I am still under the 12 month warranty. What happens if I get this error after October 2024? That isn’t fair to me. That’s why I am changing my 5 Star Review to 3 Stars now. So many people have a Quest 3 headset they can barely use because of this serious issue. I don’t want Meta to go out of business. I want a Quest 4, Quest 5, and so on in the future. But it isn’t fair to us customers that we suffer losses because Meta manufactured a VR headset with hardware and software issues.I have other complaints too. These are complaints and feedback that I have submitted to Meta countless times since October 2023 but all my Feedback was ignored.There is an Accessibility feature that lets you play games sitting down. It will adjust the height to make the game or app think that you are standing up. But if you restart your headset, it will reset to standing mode even though it will show that sitting mode is still on. So after every headset restart, you will need to go Settings and then Accessibility and then toggle it off and back on to get it working again. But not only that, some apps and games don’t play well with that setting because they have their own sitting down mode. That’s why I asked them to add the Sitting Down/Standing Up toggle button to the app dock tray.We can only have five pinned apps on our app dock tray, and I think four of those are Meta apps that can’t be unpinned. It’s so frustrating. I want to be able to unpin any Meta app that I want to unpin. I never use the People app. I rarely use the Store app, but if I do I can access it through the Library app, my phone, or a computer website. And it really bothers me that the Horizons Feed (Meta Explorer app) opens up every time that I restart my headset or exit out of a VR experience. That behavior should be disabled by default or give us the option to disable it.A lot of time, the apps on the app dock tray will have a big round blue circle on the top right. It’s so annoying. I don’t want that. I don’t know what it is for, but I don’t need it. I want to remove that, but there is no option to remove it. I also get a lot of notifications that I don’t want. I don’t want to know that my controller became inactive or that the WIFI disconnected when the headset was turned off. Whenever I go into a VR experience and exit out of it, I will get a notification but when I click Notifications there is nothing there. I really wish that I could disable any and all notifications or at least the ones that I don’t need or want.There is a Lying Down mode, but I can’t even use it. I use Roomscale Boundary and it takes me five minutes to draw it because it includes three rooms and hallways in between. When I enter Lying Down mode, it will switch to Stationary Boundary. When I exit Lying Down mode, it will ask me if I want Roomscale Boundary or Stationary Boundary and my previous Roomscale Boundary will be deleted forcing me to draw it again. I really wish that I could just stay in Roomscale Boundary and never have it deleted. Or at the least, have it saved somewhere, so when I switch to it I can reapply it.Meta told us on v67 that they released an update that lets us remove apps that we no longer want to see in the Library window. It’s now PTC v69 and I have yet to see that feature anywhere.There are probably some other complaints and feedback that I had, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

    First VR System I Would Recommend for Mainstream – Quest 3

    I’ve been tracking VR since Oculus 2013 kickstarter. It’s been disappointing to see how much slower the technology has progressed than I anticipated. Now 10 years later the Quest 3 at $500 is really the first system I’d feel comfortable recommending to a non-VR enthusiast.Meta subsidizes their headsets costs allowing them to undercut the competition. The hardware in this in any other system would easily have been closer to $1,000 otherwise. That said aside from the actual headset and controllers itself Meta skimps in every other aspect. Assume you will need to spend a minimum $100+ for accessories to actually make prolonged use of the headset comfortable and enjoyable.Day 1 replacement should be the facial interface. The facial interface is so bad whoever made the decision to keep it should be fired. Its bad enough that if this is your first exposure to VR and don’t know much about it you’re going to think its miserable having this thing strapped to your head. As of this review Jan 2024 the best interface you can get is from AMVR. Its about $30 and its a night and day different. Not only does it improve your field of view but it also allows more air circulation for reducing fogging. The main improvement though is comfort. Going from a deep pain in my face to not noticing anything was a huge quality of life. Oblik offers a customized 3d printed facial interface but it requires an iphone for scanning your face and costs around $80. I have not tried this yet but it looks interesting.Day 2 should be the headstrap. I don’t understand why Meta doesn’t provide competitive quality accesories for their systems. Look at Destek, Bingbok, Bobo VR. All three have excellent head straps that again like the facial interface greatly improve comfort and potentially offer other features like much high capacity batteries with passthrough and hot swapping.Day 3 get some controller straps. Included are strings that will at least keep you from throwing the controllers but otherwise you will have them hanging from your wrists or you will be gripping the controllers non-stop. I like AMVR’s strap with battery compartment but other options that allow you to rest your hands will still be a big step up.The Quest Link Cable for tethered PCVR and charging is $80. The problem is it maxes out at 3A / 5V charging which will not keep the Quest 3 charged if you have Wifi on, let alone Wifi, bluetooth, and running an on headset game. With all those off and doing PCVR 3A is enough to keep it powered for a very long time. Ideally for $80 the Quest Link should at least include Power Deliver PD charging for 30 Watt+ charging speeds that would keep the Quest charged.I’m using a Cable Creations 16.5 10 Gbps cable. It doesn’t matter how fast your cable is the Oculus software seems to rarely recognize it being over 2.5 Gbps anyways. Anything over 1 Gbps is sufficient. This cable is $55 and is nearly identical to the Quest Link and is a good alternative. There are some other manufacturers claiming 20 Gbps 100 Watt 16 foot cables but be skeptical. Keep in mind most PC USB ports max out at 900 mA unless they note otherwise. I added a Startech 20 Gbps expansion card with 3A charging that keeps my headset alive for many hours as long as WiFi is off. Battery burns about 50% faster if Wifi is on. Sinefine also has an expansion card with 10 Gbps 45 Watt ports that should keep the Quest charged even with Wifi on as long as your cable truly supports PD.The Quest 3 has decent video pass-through allowing for really interesting Mixed Reality / Augmented Reality applications. As it also includes depth sensors this doesn’t mean it just superimposes graphics over a grainy video of your living room. The software actually understands where walls and objects are. There is a small alien invasion game where aliens start knocking out your walls and ceiling invading your room. I’ve had these tiny ball like aliens pop around and hide behind desks and chairs. And when I peek around the objects they’re actually there, when I look away and come back they persist. This isn’t the cheap AR that was in mobile games and handhelds many years back that for the most part just ignored what was actually in the environment.PCVR is where the really compelling content for VR is. Mobile graphics power has came a long way and there are some bigger mobile VR games like Asgards Wrath 2 and Assassins Creed Nexus now but the reality is for the most part on-headset content looks like games from 10 – 15 years ago or more. However, on PCVR there is content that in the Quest 3 is sometimes nearly indistinguishable from real life. Usually just some object or in smaller closed environments. But its where the really interesting stuff is.Unfortunately Meta seems to hate PCVR. Developers apparently don’t have the USB access needed to allow PCVR directly. That’s why apps like Virtual Desktop must be streamed via Wifi. Accessing Steam Games goes like this – Turn on Quest 3 -> Enable Quest Link -> Empty barren environment -> either go to desktop and launch game or go to SteamVR Home and then launch game from library.A bit cumbersome and often games won’t launch, won’t launch in VR, or have poor controls without an easy way to rebind. Often games, even big ones like Pistol Whip have no native recenter function. In which case you have to bring up the SteamVR overlay to use its recenter function. If you launched the game directly from desktop though sometimes this isn’t available and you basically just have to exit the game, launch SteamVR, then the game then recenter. It’s very unfortunate but a lot of PCVR content is like this – very compelling if it works but can be frustrating and tedious.I think we’re still about 7 – 10 years away with hardware + software that really makes VR truly mainstream. The release of the UEVR mod that allows turning newer flat Unreal Engine games into VR games is a huge step towards that. But even with a 4090 many newer Unreal games still require turning many settings down to get smooth gameplay in VR.TLDR – Unless you have cash to burn the Quest 3 is probably the best single package VR system available as of Jan 2024 but expect to spend another $100 in accessories to make it an enjoyable, comfortable experience. The most seamless experiences tend to be Quest Native applications, however, the most compelling and graphically realistic experiences are on PCVR. Though the ease of use of these can be inconsistent.If you expect to wait for something better keep in mind the price difference between the Quest 2 and Quest Pro was over $1,000 so if a Quest Pro 2 comes out it could very well be the same. Valve has still not officially announced the Deckard but even if they do it tomorrow it likely wouldn’t be available for at least a month, probably sell out very quickly, and almost certainly be priced at $1,000 or more. Apple Vision Pro is already expected to be priced at $3,500 and its specs are still unknown, probably won’t be available till later in 2024, and it’s unknown if it will be compatible with PCVR or they will completely restrict users to the Apple walled garden.

    Over good, Better with a few simple additions

    The bottom line is I recomend it. I have compared it too all preceeding models and can contrast it with a few none Meta options as well such as the Index, Pimax, and Window MR kits. If you have decided your ok with Metas privacy Issues you are getting a nice device. Its greatest weakness is its Very power hungry and as I write this there are few options for power blocks and piggy back power packs that will keep up. You need allot of wattage (30W ish i’d recomend too be safe) like the stock power block puts out, other wise you will lose charge slowly. Just as Quest 2 did. Only Quest 1 would run all night off anything. It was also a bit dissapointing too find out that it doeas not offer face or eye tracking, If you desire that you may need too opt for the Pro at great expense and the cost of some visual quality. Quest 3 has exellent Fidelity with its Pancake lenses and high res panels, they combine too put Q3 on par with the Pimax 8k x and far beyond Index or other Quests. Its Tracking is Only so so however, the removal of upwards camers effects it when placing hands above or behind ones person. on the plus side hand tracking is very accurate and we can expect it too improve with updates.. Its Room scanning abitlity is very usefull the new AR focuse of this device sets it apart from previous VR only devices. Now games can exist in Real space and so can other participants. I see this as the future of VR so it has relivancy that may last longer then other HMD’s and effect more titles as Developers get more accustomed too creating AR content for it. I found the audio too be noticably improoved over Quest 2/1 although i could not get a good test with the Pro. I am reminded of Index when I listen too it though it does not have the Base or power of the Index speakers. Still ,very impressive for something so small and direction. I find no need for headphones or ear buds. As I mentiond its got great looking visuals with only 2 caveats the FOV has only improved slightly over Q2 and in a testing envioment its blacks were consistantly scoring a 4 on 0-10 black too white. So basically it does make very dark blacks. Though its not horrible noticable if you are not thinking about it during a movie. I will also Recomend a Light Leak incert for the nose, they are about $8-9 bucks I use this one : https://a.co/d/6yyfSZy. With out this the Q3 has a huge light leak around the nose but its comfortable even with the incrt installed. I give Meta marks for reducing its form factor It is notacably lighter and more compact, which I worried would make it hard for me too wear with glasses. Instead I was pleasently suprised too find my frames fit under it nicely and Meta formed the interior in such a fashion so the lenses rarely make contact with each oth as most other HMD’s do. This is do too a small rubber lip around the lenses that protrudes. Later I got RX lenses made for it at a discount courtasy of Meta and the snapped right in perfectly even with the protective ridge. Returning too the Power topic I recomend if you get anything be sure it has Over charge protection/smart charging. I tried Some combo Battery and delux head bands but they had bad fans and poorly placed Usb C jack prone too breakage. So Untill a better power strap is out Im Make do withe the cheaper and proven Rebuff reality battery which includes charge protection and while not fast enough too charge the Q3 it can do a decent job of extending play time: https://a.co/d/fPsh5hs along with these Usb cables too reduce the chance of breaking: https://a.co/d/5Ti1VlM and I always advise a Magnetic quick connect such as this: https://a.co/d/7IDXYLZ Now my Final recomendation Is the Knuckle straps as the controlers are still a bit slippery I found them too be over price but this model works fine at a reasonable cost https://a.co/d/jld7EsV Thank You for Reading I hope this was usefull. Cheers

    Tracking not as good as Quest 2 for Beat Saber E+

    I apologize now, for this review being so long, & all over the place, but I always give honest & THOROUGH reviews that you can 100% trust… I’m never paid to review anything).Preface: So I’ve had my Quest 2 for 3 years now, & absolutely LOVE it. VR has changed my life for the better in so many ways. The app Horizon Worlds has brought so many great friends into my REAL life, and has given me AND my 27yr old, disabled daughter so many things to play, explore, & experience! I’m 55 lol and I’m an Beat Saber (VR) addict. I love music with a good Beat which is what drew me to beat saber & I can’t believe how far I’ve come playing it! I’ve played it every single day since the day I bought the Quest 2, 3yrs ago. So I can honestly say that I DO know what I’m talking about here. The Q3 does NOT track as well as the Q2 while playing at Expert and E+ levels. I noticed it immediately. If you don’t play Beat Saber at at least expert level, you probably wont even have tracking issues.I was told by so many ppl the Q3 was soooo great. Which, it IS great when comparing to my now 3yr old Q2, that I’ve played 4-8+ hrs DAILY for 3 yrs. I’ve gone thru 3 sets of controllers, put a few little scratches in the lenses, & it starts to heat up after an hour or so…& when you already have hot flashes, it feels like wearing an oven on your face. I guess it’s because it’s a more powerful headset. I still don’t see that much of a difference visually… certainly not enough to justify paying double what the Q2 costs! I also love a social app called VRCHAT. The movie theaters are unparalleled, and the visuals in there are jaw dropping…especially if you connect the headset to a good computer…(which i dont have) But vrchat now requires much more RAM than the little 6gb the Q2 provides. VRChat requires at least 10-12 gb of RAM to see all of the benefits .. I was hoping the Q3 would have at least 10-12gb of RAM, but it only has 8gb! ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrSince my Q3 is NEW, of course it’s doesn’t heat up .. yet.. we’ll see! The battery only lasts 2 HOURS, so you have to stay plugged in if you want to play for longer periods. (*tip if you arent rich lol* Instead of spending extra money on fancy headgear with built in external batteries that only last another 2 hrs) I use my 20000 mah power bank and attach it to the straps behind my head using velcro straps. It not only counter-balances the headset perfectly, making it less heavy on your face, I have yet to play long enough to wear out the power bank! My longest time in the Q2 was 9-10 hrs with still 20% battery left as well as 2.5 hrs on the headset… (don’t judge lol I lead a very boring life lol) The Q3 does pull a lot more power..but it still outlasts me lol.Yes, the Q3 visuals are slightly better (clearer & brighter), but STILL not $300 worth better. I’m still debating whether or not to keep it or return it.. but for the Q3 price I could get 2 new Q2s! Or just get a new Q2 for $400 plus 3 extra sets of controllers! My Q2 had 256gb storage with over half used.. so of course I couldn’t get the cheaper one that only had128gb!! Good job META you really know how to make your money…Grrrrrrrrr!However, I now have a headset with 512gb, and access to games not available on the Q2. I’m also afraid of Meta slowly fazing out the Q2 like they did Q1.I haven’t tried any mixed reality using the passthough, so I cant review that part, but the Q3 pass-through is not what they show it to be at all. It’s more like trying to see under water. At least it’s in color now. I’m not a big fan of mixed reality. I’m in VR because it feels like it takes you away from the real world.. like a little vacation with friends without spending money or getting dressed up or leaving the house! lol I don’t want to be sidetracked or reminded of what I need to do in my house LOL. The controller battery doors are much easier to remove now with a push button thing that pops it open. These controllers also have no ring, and are a bit smaller. If you have huge hands itll probably feel like they’d disappear in your hands. I still prefer the feel of the Q2 controllers, especially for Beat Saber & Pistol Whip. I require knuckle grips to play those, which were much cheaper than the Q3 ones. The Q3 will draw a boundary for you, which is great if you are only standing.. or only sitting.. I still have to draw my own since I like to sit and stand depending what I’m doing in vr… but so far, it remembers my setting.The Q3 cloth interface gives me a «rug burn» type rash on my face..maybe its an allergy idk. It’s a weird material as opposed to the absorbent foam on the Q2, which I LOVED, because it absorbed sweat during my sweaty Beat Saber & Pistol Whip sessions .. and I would just wash it out every night with a little baby shampoo, squeeze it out & hang it to dry overnight. It never fell apart, and was always fresh & clean for the next day. Now, I have to put my old silicone cover on it, which holds in the heat in and fogs up the lenses.. (I have hot flashes 24/7 so it’s not fun). (I just ordered a different interface). Or ill have to spend probably 75-100 bucks when/if they make an interface with the little fan attachment. (The one for the Q2 is awesome btw!) So farmers, not only did I have to spend over $700 for this headset with the added 3yr protection, a new interface, I also had to oder new controller knuckle grips that come attached to new battery doors. Thankfully, I had the option to make 12 no-interest payments over a year!! I’m praying these controllers will not drift like the Q2. Although, I take way better care of my Q3 after the lessons learned lol.That’s it so far. I’ll add to this as time goes on.In closing, I highly recommend getting either headset you can afford! No matter your age!! (But please..not for kids under 13! Do your research on that!!) VR is great for socialization, and exercise!! It’s not only a game changer.. its a life changer! Don’t listen to all of the negative Nellie’s out there who just hate the Zuck lol.. to me it has nothing to do with him. It’s all about what experiencing VR has done for me & my family!!PS: 2 1/2 yrs ago, while my 82yr old Dad was still alive, I brought my Q2 to him at his nursing home. I showed him so many things he LOVED IT! He loved exploring fish, dolphins , & prehistoric fish in the depths of the ocean..fed & played with dolphins .. traveled to places he’d been to while in the army, even shot virtual army weapons and went hunting! I believe they should have vr headsets available to all patients in nursing homes & hospitals..or homebound patients or whoever else doesn’t have the privilege of leaving their home at will! It can breath new life into everyone♡

    I’ve had ‘em all – This is BIG WIN!

    So, I started with the original Oculus Developer Kit 1, then on to 2, then the consumer Rift, Rift S, Quest 2, and temporarily had a Quest Pro (a great piece of tech, but too expensive..returned in 1 week). We’ve come a long way with Quest 3….- The clarity of the new «pancake» lenses are a marvel after dealing for years with the now primitive, Fresnel lenses. No more having to reposition the flipping headset around, over and over just to find that one tiny spot of clarity while their outer area remains blurry. These flat pancake lenses are just super clear all around, from edge to edge.- The resolution bump from the Q2 is another nice welcome. The blacks are not jet black like you would find on an OLED screen (like the PlayStation VR2), but that would bring the cost up. When you’re playing games or experiences, you won’t even be thinking about it. Would you rather have fresnel lenses like PS2VR? I don’t think so. In addition to these new features, the fieild of view has widened on Quest 3, another upgrade that makes a difference.- The sound is beefier and louder. No more tin can alley like the Q2, and the fantastic spatial sound adds more to the immersion. I went back and played some older games, finding sounds that I’ve never quite heard on Quest 2, which really surprised me. The haptics are also very much improved over the Q2, though not as potent as I would have liked. The Pro controllers are more advanced in this department, as is the PSVR2.- The controller wrap around rings over the hands are a thing of the past, and good riddance. These controllers feel great, and track without a hitch. I’m super glad that they are sticking to regular AAA batteries for the controllers. They last a sick amount of time, as opposed to the Quest Pro controllers which are rechargeable. Some people prefer that style, but I prefer having to simply replace batteries and continue playing, rather than waiting for yet another device to recharge Plus, I remember getting overheating warnings with the Pro Controllers, and they never felt warm. If you didn’t put the controllers down for a bit, the warning would not go away. There’s a number of complaints about this odd issue in the Oculus forums. Not sure if they fixed this by now, but I do remember the Oculus mods being dumbfounded by this ordeal.The Mixed Reality / PassthroughAs someone who’s been around the tech industry for over 35 years, this is a new level of entertainment. Mixed Reality puts virtual objects right in your real space. Imagine sitting on your couch, viewing your entire room, while watching a spaceship break through your ceiling and land on your couch. Following that, you’ll view in amazement as alien fuzzballs start breaking apart the walls to your surroundings, trying to get in, while revealing a complete alien landscape as you race to catch those critters with the supplied blaster as they pop in and land on your floor, and furniture! You have to see it to believe it. You’re still in your room, but now all the walls have been blown out. This all works convincingly thanks to the new room scanning feature, which is something right out of the Matrix. You simply walk and look around your room(s) as it automatically detects walls and obstacles during setup.How about playing a dungeon crawling board game ON YOUR ACTUAL TABLE, or break into a sweat as zombies smash through your doorways, and climb in from the windows. If that’s too much, then why not set up a giant TV screen that would dwarf the real TV in your room. Dozens of games and apps already have been updated to support mixed reality, so there’s already many things to try out. Every day seems to bring more.The beauty of Mixed Reality is that you’re not fully engulfed in Virtual Reality. You’re still seeing all of your real world, but the virtual stuff comes to you! This is a wonderful way to introduce newcomers to VR who may not feel comfortable completely cut off from their surroundings. So, now you can exercise with a virtual trainer, box against a computer opponent in your own living room, or explore your house which can be haunted with ghosts. All this can be done without worrying about kicking your dog, watching if your baby wanders away or smashing your skull into a real TV set. One other advantage, it cuts down the possibility of motion sickness which can be a problem for certain people. The one big complaint about mixed reality – the passthrough is kind of fuzzy, so your real world has kind of a grainy film over it, and when combined with the stunning virtual objects, there’s a stark difference. Good lighting helps the situation, but ultimately, it becomes a non-issue because once your play area is combined with the virtual world, you won’t even be much concerned about the quality; your room becomes the backdrop as your eyes are mainly focused on the virtual parts, leaving the whole mix to be quite convincing, and for this price point, to have this feature? Are you kidding me? It’s amazing!Of course, you can alway play in total virtual reality, because that’s still the popular choice for hardcore VR enthusiasts. Speaking of which, I’ve seen many comments on various forums where VR veterans were knocking mixed reality, saying things like «who wants this? I don’t need mixed reality, I will only play in complete Virtual». After a few days, I already saw a change of heart. Now it’s, «oh wow, I never thought I’d get into this, now I want more!». Yeah, mixed reality is here to stay and grow.The comfortWell, here’s where I personally find a negative. The default strap provided with the Meta Quest 3 is similar to the strap on the Quest 2, however, this has a bit more stability, with its adjustable Y-shaped back. It’s one of those things, you try on, and think – oh, this isn’t bad at all, only to find shortly after, either your forehead, cheeks or both feel a bit too much pressure. It’s not as bad as the Quest 2, as the Quest 3, doesn’t protrude as much, due to its new design, but it’s no way good for long play sessions. I simply purchased a 3rd Party Elite-style strap on Amazon.. so mission accomplished there as it’s a very comfortable, halo-style ($37.00) which is the way to go.Battery life …is still short – around two hours, though some complained it’s even shorter. I tend to use an ultra-long C cable plugged into an Anker power supply and I can go all day, and only take it off if I’m playing something like Beat Saber, or anything else that requires a lot of crazy hand movements.PCVRLike its predecessor, the Q3 will work with your PC Oculus and Steam VR games, providing you have a powerful PC. With the new resolution, wider FOV and lenses, PCVR games look better than ever!Overall – I absolutely love the Quest 3, even my spouse who had no interest in VR was amazed by the mixed reality and now wants one as well.

    I wish I could rate it lower but… it’s still market king.

    SETUP:Q3 + Elite Battery StrapCOMFORT – 4/10:To me, this is less comfortable than the Q2, despite being slightly better balanced (weight distribution is closer to face now). Namely, the interior plastic now makes contact with my face, which digs in, making it uncomfortable. This happens even at the furthest facial interface setting (for folks with glasses, which I don’t have)… and that comes at the price of worse FOV.LENSES – 10/10:Compared to the Q2, this is much clearer, with a much more forgiving sweet spot. In fact, it’s so wide that the IPD adjustment seems to have almost no effect, and we can pass between players without adjustment. That’s wild, and very different than our Q2 experience.COLORS – 7/10:It’s still an LCD, so expect washed out greys instead of blacks, muted colors, and no HDR.PASSTHROUGH – 7/10:It’s cool, but was massively overhyped. Do I prefer passthrough as my default view? You bet. It’s nice to have a sense of my surroundings while in menus. Is passthrough viable for things like reading texts and working at your computer? Heck no. It’s a grainy (albeit color) mess of compression artifacts and distortions. You’ll give yourself a migrate trying to read small text or even the keys on your keyboard. It’s worse if your keys are backlit, as the glow bloom adds to the artifact mess.I’ve had some issues with my Q3, namely in what seems like a loose lens or display panel or something. The lightest tap sends my vision stuttering – which has never happened in hundreds of hours of the previous Q2.CONTROLLERS/TRACKING – 9.5/10:This still has occlusion and line of sight issues, like the Q2, but otherwise it’s MASSIVELY improved. I’m a decently ranked beat saber player, and my scores significantly improved when switching to the Q3, despite using a claw grip (which could interfere with the LED signal from the tracker, since it doesn’t have the ring like before).PERFORMANCE/SPEED – 10/10:This is the most noticeable gain from the Q2 (aside from the usable passthrough), and you feel it everywhere. Bootup is faster, shutdown is faster, menus open faster, apps/games load much more quickly… and I assume this has something to do with why the controller tracking is so good – it likely can just handle the tracking math much faster, thanks to the improved compute.GAMES – N/A:I’ve basically given up on the Quest store at this point, mostly using this for SteamVR via Virtual Desktop (which continues to work great). I’m sure there are some good titles on there, and native apps do perform with much better latency than via wireless PCVR, but the visuals are just much worse in comparison. For instance, Beat Saber is smoother on native Quest, but looks like a blurry mess (with fewer visual effects) than on PCVR – not to mention the lack of mod support without jumping through even more hoops than we have to on PCVR.OVERALL – 9.5/10:It’s not perfect, but pretty close, and arguably hits the ideal mark based on its incredibly low price point. If Valve finally releases a new HMD, will I buy it? You bet. Until then, the convenience of the Q3/wireless trumps all other headsets IMO.

    For me good enough to work full time through VR desktop (long review) – UPDATE 2 months later

    UPDATE after more than 2 months of use: I am still super happy with this headset and I’m still using it daily as my «work rig». The only thing to add is, absolutely do find a better strap that lets you balance it on your head slightly loose, rather than strapping it tightly to your face, unless you’re doing some vigorous gaming. As far as games, I can only play certain ones that are somewhat static, like Table Tennis because I’m too sensitive to motion, but for productivity work, I have no issues with keeping it on for 10+ hours daily. For me this is not a toy, but an amazing tool. One additional note, I have now upped my default virtual monitor count to 4 (got a Black Friday subscription deal for Immersed to allow more than 3 monitors). I also ended up buying the extended warranty for the Quest as well, for peace of mind.Some small beefs with the Immersed app: it takes too long from launching it until it actually starts and connects with your laptop, but once it’s on, it’s fine. It would be nice to have an option to just start it in mixed reality mode right off the bat, it’s my usual way of working. Other than that, all good.Original Review below —————————————————I have always dreamed of ditching my monitors and having just a VR desktop. I could work much more relaxed than hunched over a monitor, with my shoulder muscles cramping after a day of work. I already use my laptop to work anywhere in the house, but that freedom limits me to a single screen. Note that I am a software developer by profession, and I typically spend 10 hours a day coding. I was actually very skeptical that I could do real work in text editors with this thing. I decided to give it a try anyway. I am very glad I did, and here’s my take after 2 full days of use.First, my setup: I use the Immersed app over wifi with my Windows 11 laptop. I work tethered with a 10 foot usb cord for power only, with a 30 watt aftermarket charger, which can charge the headset while still keeping it powered up indefinitely. I started with the 3 monitors free Immersed gives you, but cut down to 2 to feel less cramped by displays. My coding is done in Eclipse and VScode, and the text is very legible. I was worried about the field of view, but it is absolutely not an issue. The pass through portal in Immersed is great to allow you to see your real desktop, with your keyboard and coffee, while the rest of your environment is some chalet in the alps, or a space station, or whatever. You can also work within your real environment, but with virtual screens floating in front of you, if you want (see my comments about passthrough further on). The first day was fine except after the first 8 hours my face started hurting because of the pressure needed to keep the headset in place. I powered through the discomfort and after the 10th hour it wasn’t bad anymore. Today I added a counter balance velcroed to the back strap and it has been MUCH better. I can loosen the strap so it doesn’t press the headset against my face, but it stays perfectly in place due to the added rear counterbalance. I do not feel the that extra weight, only the benefit of the lighter fit on my face. How about my eyes ? You may not believe it, but after I spent many hours with the headset, my eyes are actually relaxed much more than when using a monitor. I’ve been far sighted (had Lasik many years ago) and use reading glasses for normal work, but do not need glasses with this headset. Make sure you tweak the interpupilary distance adjustment as well as you can for yourself to avoid eye strain. I believe that I may have a slight difference in strength between my eyes that strains them with regular monitor use, but with the Quest 3 and that adjustment, my eyes feel very fresh even after 10 hours of use.. Incredible, I know. Perhaps if you have perfect normal vision, you may have issues with using the headset, but for me it’s improving my experience. On top of allowing me to stay relaxed in my easy chair when I work. It’s only my second full day, and if my experience with comfort changes, I’ll update this review. Some things to watch for. I’ve had to reset it maybe 3 times these past two days, with a combined 22 hours of use. One time because I started getting some strange glitchiness, like streaks of gray fuzzy lines crossing my field of view all over the place, or voice command errors popping up continuously when I didn’t even use it and had turned voice control off. The restarts cleared things up. One annoying thing is that though the computer speakers can play through the headset in the Immersed app, you cannot use the headset microphone through the computer, for example in meetings or chats, so I have to keep the laptop very nearby so its microphone can pick me up. I’m sure that will be solved in a future update. The passthrough cameras work, you can see the outside world enough to do what you need to do, but not very clear by any means, especially if you’re not in a well lit area. This is super minor issue for me, since the virtual monitors is all I really care about, and they are quite crisp. My big fear is that the headset was not meant for such intensive daily use and that it may die out on me. I guess we’ll see if the Meta warranty is any good if that ever happens. I’m debating purchasing the supplemental 2 year warranty that is available to get within 60 days of purchasing the headset. One last note, if you want to try a very cool experience to get a taste of VR, I highly recommend the free Oculus First Contact app in the store. A fun but very well done (imho) demo of what you can do in VR – great for all ages.

    Brand New Package

    The package was brand new and had all the listed contents.Meta Quest 3 is an incredible leap towards the future of technological interaction. I believe someday we’ll all be wearing smart glasses. This is possible because Meta is taking a loss on this hardware to show everyone a new world. They’re building a huge audience to justify their future investment in innovation. Eventually they will get so small they will fit in a pair of sunglasses. The Ray-Ban partnership gives credence to my prediction. At that point everyone will need to have one. It’s gonna be Meta’s iPhone moment.The only better hardware than this (and not by much) is the Apple Vision Pro. That thing is roughly 7x the price and maybe 10% better build. And the ecosystem (OS and App Developer Community) of Meta’s is way better than Apple’s right now.So if you want to get a glimpse of the future or enjoy a brand new socializing experience like VRChat then get this headset. The depth perception is so stunning that graphics don’t even matter. And even though they don’t matter this thing is 4K.Imagine you’re with a few friends but for some reason they’re dressed as your favorite pop culture characters. You’re also with 5 super rad people you just met on the beach. Now you’re about to all race each other on Sea-Doos. After that race you all join each other on a rollercoaster within 20 seconds of the race ending. After that you jump through a portal and head to the bar to play some pool. Then stop imagining and buy this headset. Because when you put it on that’s the kind of thing that’s gonna happen.

    Awesome Headset With Some Flaws

    Update 2: It took over 2 months of frustration for me to finally get a replacement for my malfunctioning headset. They acknowledged their lack of quality customer care by giving me $130 Meta store credit. I can tolerate screwups and things going wrong as long as things are made right in the end, so I’m putting this back up to 4 stars. It’s not perfect, but I love this headset.Update: My headset started to have a problem where in some spaces it wouldn’t detect some of one of the controllers buttons. I went through talking with customer service several times about this. Every time I got disconnected and even though I would put in a reference number they gave me I would have to explain everything from the beginning to a new person every time and they kept making me do the same trouble shooting over and over again. After several days and many hours of this they said I would get sent a new one, then that got screwed up somehow I guess. It’s been over a month now since I started going through this. Nobody on their side has any information on what is going on or how much longer this will take. Every single time I try to email them for info I get a different clueless person with absolutely nothing to tell me other than people are working hard to solve this for me. To me nothing will cause you to lose stars here more easily than bad customer service and Meta has about the worst, so this thing went from 4 to 2 stars over this stupid BS. I wish I had just returned it and bought another one instead of dealing with this annoying crap.I love this headset for the most part. It’s not quite the game changer the Quest 2 was, but it is still a solid generational improvement. I went with the 512GB one even though I feel fairly extorted having to choose between paying an extra $150 or having to deal with swapping out apps all the time due to very low drive space. Quest 2 was only $50 extra for 256GB which was great. By the time I get all the accessories to make this thing more comfortable I’ll probably have a little over $800 into it. Compared to the about $450 I had for a fully decked out Quest 2 with lots of aftermarket accessories I’d say we are entitled to some fairly high expectations. Also on that note I will say that if you’re tight on cash Quest 2 is still a great option because this doesn’t really have very many must have features right now. Perhaps once the software catches up with the hardware, but I kind of expect the quest 4 to be around the corner from whenever that happens. I’m somewhat of an enthusiast and I’ve blown more money in stupider ways than this, so I’m on board.The Good-I like how it is thinner and sits with a better center of gravity. It makes a big difference with how it sits on your face and I’m sure when I get an after market headstrap it will be much more comfortable.-The higher resolution, the pancake lenses, the higher refresh rate, the wider field of view. These are all things that are easy to write off as minor, but then you realize how much of a difference these are making when you put a Quest 2 back on. Things look very nice and very clear. I’m sure it will only get better as more and more apps add updates to them. So far the updated apps I have tried are a very noticeable improvement. However I have to mention that since they didn’t use OLED this time around I still notice the lack of true blacks and a fair amount of bloom in some circumstances.-The speakers sound pretty darn good. There are actually 4 this time around and they do a good job with 3d audio.-I like the feel of the new controllers and the tracking actually seems a little better during some of the more intense moments of some of the faster paced games like Pistol Whipped.-I’m a bigger fan of color passthrough and AR than I thought I would be. I would say that it’s still in the early days of this tech though. Pass through is still producing a fairly low res image with lots of warping and distortion. You can’t make out text on your computer monitor or phone unless you get extremely close, but it is clear enough to watch a show while you put together a puzzle in one of the apps that’s been updated for AR like Puzzling Places and Cubism.The Bad-The two biggest things are probably how uncomfortable this is out of the box (I can’t wear it for more than an hour before it starts to cause me pain that gets progressively worse to the point of being unbearable) and the battery lasts less than 2 hours most of the time. Sometimes even less than an hour and a half if you’re using pass through. I personally don’t mind this and even prefer it if it means a much lighter headset because I use BoboVRs halo headstrap with hot swappable battery.-They left out some improvements that seem odd to me because they wouldn’t have cost much especially when you consider the substantial price increase from the Quest 2. The microphone still sounds pretty crappy which is odd considering how Meta seems to be pushing the social aspects of VR pretty hard, bluetooth headphones still have too much lag to use, and there isn’t as much RAM as people were expecting which would have come in handy for a lot of things including more multitasking.Things I’m Looking Forward To From Metas Next Headset-Obviously a better mic, less bluetooth latency, more RAM.-Pretty much the stuff the Pro had that they left out here like OLED and face and eye tracking.-clearer AR. It works pretty good here, but I can tell the next iteration is going to make how this AR looks now seem like low res old tech.

    Much better than the Q2

    I was using the Q2 since release day and based on specs, knew the Q3 would be enough better to pay for one.I haven’t used my Q2 since the 3 arrived.On the Q2, I used the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap (DAS) and did the same with the 3. The original Q3 strap has not touched a head and probably never will. I can’t say if it’s better than the 2 strap (which is awful) and don’t care. The Vive DAS is very comfortable and has decent sound.The pancake lenses and true IPD adjustment on the Q3 are a huge improvement over the Q2. The Q1 also had true IPD adjustment which was removed from the Q2 to reduce the price. I’m happy to pay more for a better product, and a better product the Q3 really is. Add to that the partnership with Zenni to make prescription inserts that are of very high lens quality and with a great fit and you have a real winner.I’ve read reports of disappointing battery life but that hasn’t affected me. I use a battery pack in my pocket with a short cord to the headset. I also use PCVR which uses less power from the headset battery. The Q3 is an awesome PCVR headset.Yes, it costs more than the Q2. Yes, it’s enough better. It’s worth it.Cons (big one): It’s Meta. Might be unusable if Meta decides it shouldn’t be supported.Sometimes there’s a Meta update pushed for PCVR and it crashes my game. The PC wants me to accept or delay the update, but my game has crashed to display it. A real bummer for online games and it seems to be happening pretty frequently lately.

    500$ is misleading

    So this is nearly a perfect product, so ill leave the good for the end, what I will go into first is the bad1) 128gb is barely enough if this is where you play games, 20 is eaten by system, and depending on games 20-60gb per game, and some games are things you will want to come back to often enough so removing them would just be a long term pain in the ass. 128gb costs meta 15-20$, 512 costs meta 5$ more, but it costs you over 150$ more… thanks meta2) the devils jockstrap… it hurt my ears, it hurt my head, it was a pain in the ass to adjust, so right there is another 20-30$ to replace that, look up meat quest 3 and you will probably find what I use, its one of the best you can get currently and likely will still be among the best once the bigger brands put theirs out… the meta pro strap for 130$ is abject garbage compared to even bad third party ones3) thanks meta for a cheese grater like cloth that actively hurts if you start to sweat, ho, the silicone upgrade will costs me 60$ but will still have glasses fogging issues? amvr put out a good one with an ice silk (that’s what they call it) and pu leather face piece with Velcro to attach replacements, and unlike the stock face piece, it doesn’t collapse in on itself when tightening to the face, great middle finger there to glasses wearers, there goes another 30~$4) thank you zuck for your unfathomable wisdom in in a 5000 mAh battery that sucks itself dry in under 2 hours… this isn’t the beginning of vr anymore, people have gotten use to vr and are capable of being in it for over 2 hours at a time. so you will need to look for either a 16 foot cable, trust me this is not ideal when you want to move around, something pc vr players have dealt with forever, but something quest players largely don’t, so you will likely need a battery bank… oh what’s this, qualicom QC is the standard used, fantastic, there are 0 good brands that use qc as a standard, the best I found was an 2000-5000mHa battery that says its 18000mAh, doesn’t deliver the power it says it does, feel like it may catch fire with how hot it makes the cable, BUT it can extended gameplay another hour or so. this is a bit of a wash, I just wish they didn’t use the worst standard for charging a device possible so I could get something from a trustable brand.in total you are looking at about 100-250 extra in costs, beyond base model.now for the goodwireless pc vr, as long as you have an av1 encoder or a hell of a good router for h264 form nvidia, you are able to run pc vr wirelessly,you get access to meta games, pretty much the only vr store that gets active development and not just afterthought sloppy seconds.the controllers last probably 10-20 quest charges in-between needing new batteries.and if you understand how, most unreal games going forward and quite a few current ones now have vr though mods, along with several other games through mods, and if you understand how to get a 3d map to work from a depth shader, you can get near any 3d game to be 3d, though its a bit hacky.you are also able to stream desktops to the quest, and the text is easily readable.for games, even very basic ones that look like they could be from 20 years ago, its immersive in ways you won’t believe. take the game compound, it looks like the first Wolfenstein game just with better textures, but because you are in the game and nothing is really making you acutely aware you are in a game, the graphics fade away, this feeling is just very hard to explain, but graphics you see on store or in videos do not do justice to seeing them yourself.overall, this everything I wanted out of vr besides an oled display, its clear that hmd’s are the future for displays, its just how long it takes to catch on.

    Excelente pero…

    En lineas generales es un muy bien visor de realidad virtual, no creo que te arrepientas de comprarlo, sin embargo debes tener mentalizado un gasto adicional para estas situacionesStrap muy maloEl strap de serie es horrible. en serio, cuando antes tengas dinero para optar por opciones como el de kiwi, bobo o aubika, hazlo. el peso del strap de serie recae bastante sobre el rostro lo que a la larga te pone demasiada tension sobre los musculos, literalmente terminaras con dolor de cuello o cabeza. un strap con bateria incluida para que haga contrapeso en la zona posterior de la cabeza estaria bien.Facial cuestionableEl facial no es tan malo realmente, puedes pasar sin cambiarlo, consideraria primera opcion cambiar el strap y luego el facial. el facial que viene de serie raspa demasiado el rostro y la tela acolchona poco, lo que en cierto modo genera cierto tipo de incomodidad en la zona que toca este, si puedes cambiarlo por uno de amvr u otra marca, hazlo, aunque si no dispones del dinero, tampoco es imprecindible.Demas esta decir que el producto es bastante bueno, salvo la bateria que ya sabemos que no dura tanto y se descarga bastante rapido y los dos puntos que marque, lo demas es excelente, definitivamente es una buena compra, aunque siempre optaria por cambiar el strap de serie debido a lo malo que es. pero si eres amante de los videojuegos y buscas algo diferente o un entuciasta de la realidad virtual y llevar este tipo de dispositivos de viaje donde desees… no te vas a arrepentir, ciertamente su enfoque no es pcvr aunque lo puedes usar para esto, la interfaz de oculus link, y airlink funciona mas o menos bien para productividad, aunque para eso usaria horizon workrooms que se incluye gratis en el visor.

    Huge upgrade from Quest 2 – WiFi SUCKS

    So out of the gate, the controllers are meh. I couldn’t care less because I use finger tracking when in quest mode. The finger tracking is soooo much better than quest 2. SO GOOOD. Although if you’re tall and got long fingers like me, the tracking may feel slightly off. It doesn’t affect usability, it just looks weird when you notice in pass-through. Some games I also keep an xbox controller on-hand because movement with hand-tracking is just awful no matter how good the tracking is. It’s just too small of a window for consistency…The cameras are a huge upgrade, looking through them is like wearing glasses that are slightly too strong for your eyes. It doesn’t hurt but it’s slightly blurry and you can’t read some distant words. There’s actually colour now and the tracking is superb.The resolution is nothing to right home about unless you run it on a PC using Steam Link. It just always looks sub-par in quest mode. You really feel the difference on PC. I mean it’s really nice. The FOV is not that amazing. But that’s coming from someone who would use very thin custom masks to maximize FOV on the Rift CV1 and the HTC Vive. It’s nothing crazy.. I dunno, to me it didn’t seem like a huge thing. It was about the same as it was on the vive for me.The straps are awful. I have long hair and it makes the straps constantly slide and apply too much weight on my face. I had to buy a custom strap. The face mask is fine though.THE WIFI! Oh my lord.. it’s SOOO BAD. It was SO PICKY about my wifi. I spent days fiddling with it to get it to stay connected to my wifi. At first I had to connect my quest to my phone hotspot then to my wifi for it to work. But eventually I fixed it… still, I read about how many people had issues and how they STILL haven’t made a definitive fix that fixes it for everyone.Truly… terrible… buyer beware.All-in-all a good headset. If you don’t mind tinkering, you’ll be fine. If you expect it to work out of the gate, you’re expecting too much from facebook.

    The best VR headset, hands down.

    The meta quest 3 is the successor to the meta quest 2 and that is VERY apparent during both initial setup and usage afterwards.Pros:Clarity, Clarity is an absolute GEM with this VR headset, the pancake lenses are so good and clear that when I tried to use a quest 2 it was like looking through the pancake lenses but rubbed all over with VaselineGameplay: the increased resolution and power compared to the quest 2 are absolutely insane. To put it in perspective, The quest 2 and 3 both do a game called «beatsaber» at a lower than native resolution. Looks a little pixelated but that’s what the quest 2 could do. Quest 3 can play at the quality of a PC if you tweak it right (install mods to increase resolution, quest 2 would struggle)Weight: The weight distribution is also better, even though the headset is only slightly lighter, because the headset itself is closer to yout face, the weight extrudes less meaning its less front heavy causing less strain on your neck.Middle:Comfort- Comfy headset? Heck yes! But not really with the included strap. The included strap doesn’t really even out the weight and puts too much pressure on eyebrows, nose, and cheeks. I found that a halo strap (usually around $35+, mine is the bobovr m3 pro) is a MUST have. The weight makes it feel like you aren’t even WEARING a headset.Cons:Space for glasses- if you wear glasses then you will need either an additional spacer for the face cover or lense inserts (I use the Zenni inserts, meta approved). They definitely helped a ton, before when I used glasses with it it put a ton of pressure on my face, which made it bruised in the middle right between my eyes, however, the lense inserts are so good cannot even feel them!Misinterpreted con:Battery life-Battery life is technically worse, however, this is because of passthrough (most of the time, anyways). Passthrough requires the headset to process both a GAME and the environment around you, It isn’t just a camera displaying an image, it’s 4 cameras stitching together an image in real-time and sensing depth ad well as keeping track of where you are in the plane of the 3d vr world to ensure proper tracking. Hence why it uses more Battery. The quest 3 also uses more battery in heavier more «intesive» games that take advantage of the quest 3’s extra performance over the quest 2. An easy and not too expensive remedy is a Battery bank. For games in which you have to move around I recommend the bobovr m3 pro or S3 because they feature Battery packs, the m3 pro has a 5000mah battery bank that increases battery capacity by around 2-3 hours and the s3 around 4-6. And these batteries are hot swappable meaning you can buy more, charge them as you play, and when your existing batteries die you can change them! For basically infinite playtimeI totally recommend this headset for anyone either still on the quest 1, sharing a quest 2, or as your first VR headset ever. Battery life isn’t really a problem and a battery bank (18watts or higher) is a great way to fix any battery life issues you’ll have, especially for Mixed reality passthrough games

    Amazing

    AMAZING. LIFE CHANGING. I grew up with videos games (I was a young kid when the first Nintendo came out and grew up with Nintendo and other game systems). I’m in my forties now and haven’t had a game system of my own in decades. I’M SO GLAD I GOT THIS. I have purchased so many games now haha it’s a whole world of fun, wonder, awe, and even exercise in some of the games. I can watch movies on here, go to Amazon Prime, it connects to Facebook, access Facebook, post to Facebook and the games are phenomenal (Moss, Moss Book II, The Under Presents, 9th Guest, Twilight Zone, Lucky’s Tale, Ven, Beat Saber, Beat Labs, Don’t Touch Anything, Wallace and Gromit, mini golf, cornhole, ping pong, Loco Dojo, Down the Rabbit Hole, and many more.). I’ve even been to VR concerts which are fun and you get the best seats in the house and can run around and dance and have fun. I got the 512GB and I bought the battery extension add on which balances out the weight of the headset in addition to providing more battery life. VR is a whole other world that has opened up for me and I’m so happy it did.

    Huge step up from the Quest 2 I owned!

    Wow oh wow. Visually, with the new lenses and higher resolution, the Q3 goggles blow away my older Quest 2 which I have since sold.Over-all, everything seems clearer to see, contrast and tonal values from dark to light are much better and everything just seems to be quite obviously, much clearer. I have no eye strain from these, even in use for well over an hour.The elastic head strap though, had to go. Gave me a slight headache. I purchased one of the fully adjustable, padded headsets for this Q3 and that comfort issue is now resolved!As for battery life, it’s not that bad and it depends on what you’re doing for a game or activity plus your brightness settings (higher brightness drains battery faster). I’ve got a small usb-c battery I used on the Quest 2 and it does help extend battery life for perhaps an hour or more over the built-in battery. A larger usb-c battery pack placed in the pocket works well too for longer use and to avoid any extra weight on the headset.As for the faster CPU in this new model,… yes, the fast response of going through menus or opening up and running apps is quite noticeable. Big improvement there.The Q3 is more fussy about what USB-C PD charger you are using (the Quest 2 was not fussy at all), and it at times refuses to charge at all (or very slowly) if using a none-Meta usb-c charger, so for now, I am using the stock charger packaged with the Quest 3. The Q3 has a small battery in it so those high wattage chargers won’t really charge much faster than the stock charger will at its lower wattage spec. In measuring watts/amps during charge using a USB amp/watt/volt meter (Amazon has these!), you won’t be fast charging that little battery in the Q3. But, even using the stock charger seems to charge up the Q3 quickly (and hour or more depending how far down the battery is) so no big deal.So, bottom line, if you are considering moving from the Quest 2 to a Quest 3 because you want a clearer, sharper and smoother/less pixelated image quality experience (plus far less need to tweak the googles to exact position to eliminate viewing blur like the Q2 lenses had), for that reason alone, I highly recommend the Quest 3. It’s night and day better with no exaggeration.For me, the Quest 3 is a totally new and much improved VR Goggle over the Quest 2, not an upgrade, but, a totally redesigned VR goggle and the investment in this more expensive Goggle will be well worth it.Consider selling your Q2 as I did and recoup some $$ towards your Quest 3 purchase!5 Stars all around. It was a keeper for me in only the few first minutes I used it! Go for it!!!

    My First VR Experience

    This is my first VR experience. The words «blown away» have been overused in regards to this item, but those words are justified, and entirely appropriate.Pass-Through: This feature is absolutely wonderful. If you have have watched enough YouTube previews, you will be led to believe that Pass-Through provides a flawless see-though experience. In truth, it will be much grainier than you expect, and the colors and contrast will not be right. However, it works more than plenty good enough, and I can’t imagine using the headset without it. The two-tap feature to flip in and out of Pass-Through works like a charm, and you can navigate around the house without breaking your neck or removing the headset. Besides, when you are doing a game in Pass-Through, you’re not looking at the environment to see if your sofa is fuzzy…you’re looking at whatever 3D thing is coming at you.Headset Comfort: It’s not as bad as I was led to believe. Some people said they get headaches after 20 minutes. They must have had the straps cranked down trying to achieve total darkness. The only place I see light coming in is around the bottom of the nose. It is not bothersome. I’ve had the headset on for 2 hours without any unusual strain. About two hours of VR is all I can take, anyway. I have not encountered any headset fogging.Menus and Navigation: Really Outstanding. Everything works amazingly well without glitches. I had some trouble getting the floor level correct for a couple of games, but I’m getting used to it. Two taps to the headset, go to settings, adjust the floor a little, and tap back in.Setting Your Physical Boundaries: Unbelievable. The room-mapping feature is fast and incredibly precise. It’s a snap to design your own boundary, and fun, too. You get a heavy warning when approaching a boundary, and you can easily see your boundary by glancing at the floor. This feature works in just a spectacular way.Battery: The battery has gotten stronger each time I charge it. I can go for the advertised two hours straight now. Charging time is 60-90 minutes.Controllers: Work great, easy to hold, «B» button is a little hard to reach, but not a problem. This is from a person who has never used a controller. Motion tracking of your hands and fingers is superb. When a game overlays a twisted, veiny hand with filthy fingernails of top of yours, the awesome effect is something bizarre to see.Games: The little free mini-games they package with the headset to teach you the fundamentals are really neato — especially the one with the Dancing Robot. The included full-blown Asgard’s Wrath 2 game is just spectacular. You have to understand that the headset itself holds all the games, so space is at a premium. Thus, even though the graphics in Asgard’s Wrath are great, they are probably equivalent to games of 10 or 12 years ago (not that I’m an expert). I usually find games of this type to be too hard, particularly the puzzles, even on the «easiest» settings. This is not true with Asgard’s Wrath. On the «Story» setting, I’ve advanced to Level 6 and have not met anything I could not handle. I think anyone who enjoys gaming would have a blast. There are three levels of difficulty you can choose.Sound: Fabulous, with great stereo effects. Plenty loud enough, immersive, and very clear.Clarity: Extremely good. The Interpupillary Distance setting works well.Motion Sickness: If you are prone to it, there are numerous settings that allow you to adjust parameters to minimize it.The only real trouble I had was setting up the Meta account. The app only gave you two choices; log in with Facebook, or log in with Instagram. To make a a long story short, I was forced to create a Facebook account before I could create the Meta account. Once the Meta account was made, setup was done in a couple of minutes.I can heartily recommend this headset to any first-time user.

    WOW!!! Improves upon the Quest 2 in almost every way

    Disclosure: I paid for this item with my own moneySixteen months ago, I bought a Q2 [for PCVR¹, thus far the native apps aren’t of interest] and didn’t use it as much as I’d expected.² With this in mind, frankly, I had some serious reservations about getting a Q3, but now that I have one in hand and can compare them side-by-side, I’ve ZERO regrets.😺 Resolution: improved, but not enough to be the sole reason to upgrade.I can still, just barely, see the space between pixels. The rendering of small text elements is more readable as they are better formed and there is less shimmer.😻 Lenses: WOW!The difference in clarity between the Q2’s Fresnel lenses and the Q3’s pancake optics is night and day. Not only is the clarity improved, but the “sweet-spot” is huge in comparison. Definitely a reason to upgrade.😺 Field of View: noticeably improved both horizontally and vertically.While still constrained, it feels less like I’m viewing the world through a scuba mask.😿 Contrast: comparableBlack is still dark grey. I really wish they had used micro-LED (as they did on the QPro) or OLED displays.😻 Pass through cameras: a significant QoL improvementAs a glasses wearer (I bought a set of third party prescription lens inserts), it’s really nice not to have to take off the headset to do a lot of things which, on the Q2 required removing the headset, putting on my glasses, doing the thing, taking off my glasses, putting the headset back on, and adjusting it for comfort. I should acknowledge that a privacy/security minded individual might well find the improved pass through cameras disturbing. You may find yourself, as I did, doing things like unlocking your phone or entering your computer’s password with the headset on. 😬😬😬😬😻 IPD settings: significantly improvedThe Q3 offers fine grained control, while the Q2 coarse-grained control gives you a choice of just 3 settings.😐 Controllers: neutralI liked the rings on the Q2’s because they served as built-in stands; there are no rings on the Q3’s. Otherwise, they feel good in the hand and work just fine.Things I’ve not specifically tested, but are noted in the reviews I’ve read while doing my pre-purchase research:• battery life: reportedly worse than on the Q2• sound quality: reportedly worse than on the Q2• eye-relief mechanism: the Q3 has a built-in mechanism to adjust the lens distance, while the Q2 required the installation of spacers• native gaming experience: the Q3 reportedly has 2.6X GPU power and 2.1X CPU power as the Q2Overall: while I’m sad there weren’t any BF/CM deals for the base model Q3, at $500+tax, it’s a still terrific bargain. It’s a shame about the contrast though 😹BTW: setup requires pairing with the Oculus app on your phone. Neither the app nor the screen in the headset tells you that the phone must be connected to the same wifi network as the Q3 AND bluetooth must be enabled. I didn’t have wifi enabled and couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t pair until a trip to the interwebs revealed the fix._____¹ — For PCVR I’m using Virtual Desktop. Some folks swear by Meta’s own Quest Link (some preferring the WiFi version, others, the wired version using USB), but it seems they are predominately owners of Green Team graphics cards. I’ve got a Red Team 6800XT and Virtual Desktop gives me the best results by far. To minimize latency, the headset is connected directly to the PC, which is hosting a dedicated hotspot. I’ve not tried yet Quest Link with the Q3, but Virtual Desktop handles it just fine. [A curious aside: on my system, Virtual Desktop’s “HVEC 10-bit” encoder, which graphically is better than the plain “HVEC” encoder, also has a lower latency!]² — Considering the price I paid vis-à-vis. what it can do, I still regard the Q2 as a true bargain. In a sense, even its limitations were a positive, because it made me aware of what I wanted out of my next headset.

    Great device, but if you have the Quest 2 I’d hold off on upgrading.

    Only reason I got this, was I gave my Quest 2 to my little sister. But then I missed not having a portable VR headset, so I saw the price on this and got it. For the price, it’s a fantastic device for the quality and features. As far as to how it compares to the Quest 2: The passthrough and augmented reality are the biggest standouts. The lenses are much nicer so you get a much cleaner image. That said, the overall graphics and responsiveness is near identical to the Quest 2. So it’s not like an immediate «oh this is WAY better» as far as experience. The boundary creation and quest air link work much better, and controllers and hand tracking work better and feel better. So, if I still had my Q2, I’d have not upgraded. But if you’re looking for your fist VR headset, this is a winner.

    Love! Almost, everything

    I absolutely love this quest 3! I’m learning to navigate around but slow going as I’m trying to adjust because I suffer from motion sickness. But what I’m discovering is, I think a lot of my issue is being caused from how the unit sits and is heavy on my sinus cavity. As soon as I am able I plan and I recommend getting an upgrade with an over the head strap that takes the weight off the face unit. Amazon has a few good options. Also! If you plan to spend any amount of time on your quest 3 you NEED a battery belt to extend play time. Prismxr offers an excellent option. Giving you supposably 6 hr extension.So the short if it is, I love it! But need to add some comfort changes and battery extension. Other than those 2 thing, buy it and have fun. Oh I also can watch my Amazon movies with no issues!

    The image quality is worth the price alone

    I upgraded from a Quest 2 to this and wow. Wow. WOW. I was told the image quality was better, but seeing is believing. And the passthrough cameras are great. Not scrolling my phone while wearing it great, but pretty nifty all the same. The Quest 3 is a monumental upgrade overall. Response time, audio, size, comfort. All major upgrades to the already stellar Quest 2. The cameras polling the environment and setting up your guardian for you is amazing as well. No more drawing haphazard circles. It knows where your stuff is and that actually is huge for the mixed reality games. Having it know where furniture is and other things lets monsters hid behind your couch and the ceiling tear off. Its pretty cool. And the image smoothness is nice since I suffer from motion sickness, the clearer picture and smoother movement makes it easier to wear for me.

    Great addition to our gaming family!

    This is fun to have. The setup was pretty easy and smooth. Setting up profiles, such as adults, and children is fairly easy to setup. The costs of the games are at a decent price with a lot of free ones to download. We chose the higher GB for our family and I suggest getting the higher GB because with a family of 5 we need all the space. It was easy to purchase, I do recommend the additional warranty because it is easy to hit and punch things with the controllers. I also suggest getting covers for your meta quest for additional protection. We also purchased a case for it as well for protection when not using it. The only think I don’t like is when you watch someone playing the audio doesn’t play on the TV, we can’t figure it out. It’s easy to monitor your kids while playing such as them bring on chat, or messages. It does have parent control for young ones!

    Truly a different gaming experience

    The set up wasn’t bad, it is a mix of keyboard & mouse as well as using the headset to connect to networks, logins, and preferences. A bit of back and forth.The fit feels good, I really don’t notice the weight hanging off my head. For kids the strap may not adjust small enough for them.The sound and visual quality is good, when in a multiplayer game you can hear other people well.Battery life is more than my play sessions, as a couple of hours I need a break. The visual input and your audio input don’t always match, that is you may see yourself tilt on screen but your ears are telling you otherwise. Common from what I’ve read, so frequent breaks are good to keep your balance.

    Mostly better, but worse in weird ways than Quest 2

    I think everyone’s familiar with the upgrades: better resolution, wider field of view, lighter, better processor, better airlink, etc. etc.However, there’s a few things that I consider to be downgrades from the quest 2.The controllers have a much smaller detection range (probably due to the removal of the rings, which is a good thing). They jump to a weird “default” position very easily and from way closer to the headset than previously.Also on the controllers, the wrist straps weirdly curl and twist when moving the tightening sleeve up and down. It’s a minor issue, but it is annoying and this didn’t happen with the quest 2 controllers.The fit on the head is just not as good as the quest 2, but the quest 2 wasn’t great either. Get a third party face cushion & head strap (one with a battery 😉)

    Fine entry level VR headset

    Upgrading from a Quest 1, the picture quality is hugely improved. However, the AR mode seems a bit underwhelming. In relatively dim light the quality gets very grainy, similar to how it is on the quest 1, however it is clear enough to walk around and do simple tasks with it on. The battery life is just ok. I don’t use the system on the go often but it seems to drain quite fast even while just browsing through the menu. The hand controls worked fine, especially the pinching, however clicking buttons in menus or games sometimes took a few tries. The headset puts quite a bit of pressure on the top of my forehead which can get uncomfortable for longer sessions. The headset has a button to extend the face cushion which allows for comfortable wear with glasses.

    Game-changing

    I’ve been in the VR game for a while now, going all the way back to the Oculus Rift dev kit 2 days. My other current headset is a Valve Index, and I mainly bought the Quest 3 with the intention of playing the Quest-exclusive games, fully expecting it to feel like a toy in comparison.In practice, I’m in love with this thing. The displays are both high resolution and high quality, with little to no screendoor effect, and the tracking is impressively stable for something only being tracked by cameras and software. I thought the removal of the rings from the Q2 controllers would cause them to have more issues with occlusion, but I haven’t noticed anything. Even the features I didn’t know it had are pretty cool for the games that support them, like its mixed reality and controller-free hand tracking. But the thing that’s really going to keep me away from my Index (at least for the games that aren’t specifically tailored to it, like Half Life Alyx) is that I had no idea how much I needed to ditch the cable and play wirelessly until now. Being able to just walk around in my room without having to be aware of the cable behind me is such a nice feeling that it feels like I’m getting into VR for the first time again.With that said, there are some small caveats — namely, that this is not really a $500 headset. Meta has taken on a sort of Spirit Airlines approach, where the headset itself is affordably priced in exchange for other basic things being extremely expensive «accessories». The strap is the main offender, with the default one being the rough equivalent of just tying the headset to your head. They’re happy to sell you a $60 strap, or a $130 one that extends the battery, though! And while you’re at it you can blow $80 on a cable for linking it to your pc if you aren’t a fan of wireless tethering, a $70 carrying case, a $40 silicone facial interface for extra comfort, a $130 charging dock to replace the controllers needing AA batteries, $40 hand straps for the controllers to give them Index-esque free-hand support… To be clear, most, if not all of these have off-brand counterparts that are just as good (or better!) for a fraction of the price, but my point is this is not a fully out of the box experience for those with more discerning tastes. For parents buying them for their younger children they’ll probably be thrilled with it anyways, and can safely ignore all of that, but I would wager most adults will probably end up wanting at least a new head strap of some kind, whether it’s the official one or not.Ignoring the troublesome accessories, though, this is an easy win as far as I’m concerned. The only real competition is that the Quest 2 is still holding its own as well from what I hear, and for prices that seem to be as low as they could possibly be around the holiday season. I can’t speak first-hand on whether the Q3 is worth a $300 difference, but I can say I don’t regret buying it. I held off on the Quest line of headsets because I’ve never been a big fan of Meta as a company, but I have to begrudgingly admit that this is probably the best vr headset at the best price you could get right now.

    A good upgrade for the Q2…

    I’ve been a Quest 2 user for a few years now and had learned to deal with most of its idiosyncrasies, and I can say that upgrading to the Quest 3 was a really good move overall! The change from Fresnel lenses in the Q2 to the pancake lenses in the Q3 has to be seen first-hand, and then actually used, to not only believe the difference but to appreciate the difference as well!I use a D-Link VR Air Bridge for playing PC VR games and have always been able to increase the quality of the link to the max 200mbps, but on the Q3 the play is just much smoother and the visuals on games like Half-Life: Alyx are just that much more immersive due to the pancake lenses and faster graphics processing of the headset.I’m not seeing the color fringes that are common with the Q2 or the light rays that can happen with bright scenes with Fresnel lenses. Going back to the Q2 to compare really drove home how much better the visuals are. I’m looking forward to playing both MS Flight Sim and DCS World in VR now and should be able to actually read the cockpit displays…I love that my library of Oculus/Meta apps (both the Quest apps and the PC/Rift apps) migrated with the new headset as that’s a significant investment in time, energy and treasure. Everything seems to play better and even the apps not Q3 enhanced look and play better as well. I purposely went with the larger storage size for the Q3 than I had with the Q2 (I have both a 64GB and an 128GB headset) as the Q3 enhanced apps take even more space now, something that’s easy to forget when deciding which Q3 to go with.But using the lessons I learned with the Q2, I immediately got an elite style head strap with a built-in battery pack (10,000mAh), a case that can fit the headset with the strap (see photo), a silicone face pad cover with the flaps at the nose to block light, knuckle straps for the controllers, and controller extension grips (for games like Beat Saber, Gorilla Tag, Golf+ and my favorite Kayak VR: Mirage).All is not roses though.Battery life really SUCKS, so you NEED that extra battery during game play (particularly with playing PC VR). On the Q2 I used to use a USB battery pack clipped to my belt and connected to the headset, though that went away when I upgraded to the elite-style head strap with a built-in battery. With the Q3, I skipped that altogether and went directly into a head strap with a large battery.None of the Q2 accessories work with the Q3, except the Link cable if you are still using one of those. I had to replace the face cover, head strap, controller grip extensions, etc. with the Q3, even had to get a new case for storage (though there are a few cases that work for both, my Q2 cases weren’t those).And I wish Meta had gone with OLED displays! That’s not to say the Q3 displays are crap, because they aren’t, but OLEDs would have added a premium touch to the headset like nothing else could.If you have a Q2 and are looking to upgrade, do it if you can afford it! If you are looking to get into VR and are looking at the Meta products, get the Q3 over the Q2 if your budget allows, as you will be more satisfied with your purchase overall.

    Freaking Sweet!!!

    I bought my daughter the Oculus Quest 2 last year and she loved it. I finally gave it a try and had so much fun so I decided to buy myself one. I logged in to buy the Quest 2 but started researching The Quest 3 and was amazed by the mixed reality feature so decided to go for it. I am so happy with my decision and having a blast. 🙂 My wife doesn’t even like video games but I let her play in augmented reality game and she immediately fell in love with you. Now we are both excited to try new apps and games. This is only the beginning if mixed reality, and things are only going to get better. Do you want to try mixed reality and don’t want to been $3,500 on an Apple vision, this is actually a really reasonable option. You can use the controllers or hand tracking. There’s tons of videos on YouTube showing you tips and tricks and everyday I’m more impressed with this device. You can use it for games, work, or even if you just want to spend time at a movie theater without leaving the house, The Meta 3 can take you there. I suggest ordering a comfortable headband because the one that comes with is flimsy. You don’t need the elite because they have a bunch of third-party vendors that sell decent once for as little as 12 bucks on Amazon. I bought a $12 one my friend said it’s better than his authentic Elite one. The next one I buy will probably be a bobo with a built-in battery for the battery pack that goes around your neck but for now, I am using a noco battery charger/car Jumpstart and it surprisingly added an extra 2 hours of play time. Batteries do run out quick so you want to get something. You can use the regular power blocks with the long cable but they run out of juice pretty quick. I found a small, light gym bag and have all my power blocks inside with the cable running to the backpack and I just keep swapping out the different power blocks. When doing so, it takes the juice from the power block first before it starts draining the internal battery so if you keep swapping them out, your battery stays at around 80% for hours. Anyways, there’s so many features on this thing including using it to play Steam games on your PC. For being a standalone VR unit, it’s incredible that they give you that option. Meta also let you try the games that you buy and if you played less than 2 hours and you don’t like the game you can return it for a full refund. If you thinking about getting the meta 2 because of the price drop, you might want to reconsider because the games that will be making in a year or two will most likely have mixed reality. But if you totally new to the vr, the meta 2 is still an awesome unit. Have fun!!

    Welcome to lite VR!

    This isn’t the pinnacle of VR gaming, but it’s the step into the right direction compared to gaming VR like PC VR, but this is fun for being mobile as it is. Take it to any room and set yourself a boundary and enjoy either playing sitting down, standing up, or even on the toilet for those long toilet sitters. Hardware is great and everything needed is in the box, but you can always upgrade to a better strap or what not.

    What’s next?! This is cool!!

    I gave it four stars because the price is a bit of a gouge out of the pocket. HOWEVER. Mixed VR is so rad. I might be a simpleton or whatever, but the mixed VR is literally coolest frikken thing I’ve experienced in the tech world. 9 outta 10 because again, I paid like 700 bucks, but… then again I knowingly spent the money…. So take that however you please. Also as an avid painter, the painting in VR had me crazy!!! I had so much fun! Would recommend for adults. Definitely not for children. Oh, and it makes you super warm. Idk if it’s because I’m standing, or because the headset puts off a little heat but I always have to open a window and turn on a fan because I get sweaty. OH and one more thing. I wear glasses, because having four eyes is better than two? Anyhow, the ability to shift the headset and play COMFORTABLY is a +++. So. Super happy! But I wish it was like 500 bucks and not 700.

    Worth the money

    I’ll get straight to the points.The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.*The Good*Excellent visuals. The graphics are awesome and the VR is so cool. The MR (Mixed Reality) is really cool too. With mixed reality you can setup a DnD table overtop of your own table.Large library of Games and Apps. Everything from Classic zombie games in full VR to MR and Zen apps to chill and relax you. Even have Duck hunt VR. Yes, someone made duck hunt in VR.The sound and video quality are really good good. Watching movies, anime and TV shows is really fun. It’s like being in a theater without the sticky floors and the «aww snap! Nuh uh and oh hell naw!» Lol.Easy to setup and use. Easy to change the head strap if you want a comfier or cushion type one.Adding a compatible battery power bank is easy and suggested.*The bad*Quick battery drain. This is my only real issue. The battery drains pretty quick and even faster when using MR.But that can be offset by using a compatible battery power bank or a 20ft USB C cable.*The Ugly*I can’t say much here. The price for many is pricey ands if you want to play games with your family, they each have to have their own head set. That can get very expensive.Unlike a console, you can’t plug in a second controller and just go. Only you can see what’s on your screen. This is definitely more of a solo system or making online friends type system. But if you can afford it, I suggest getting two for a family.*Bonus – The Awesome*Emulation 😁Installing Retro Arch is easy and with 512GBs of room, you can install lots of classic games and play them. I know you can do that on a PC or buy a retro pie, but it looks so cool right on front of you and looking like it’s a movie screen.With the help of SideQuest, you can install CX file explorer and then Retro Arch and copy your classic games from you PC to the Quest.And lastly for anyone asking or maybe those who don’t have the extra cash after putting out the funds for this device.I can’t recommend pirating, but a quick Google search for Meta and the opposite of mother can help you with that problem.
