Meta Quest 3S 512GB | Virtual Reality — VR Headset — Gorilla Tag Bundle | Includes 512GB headset, 2 controllers, charging cable and power adapter for gaming, fitness and entertainment

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.

Buy the Quest 3, DO NOT BUY THE QUEST 2. I still use my Quest 2 it's great but I don't care how cheap it is, the Quest 3 is that much better in both performance and visuals. Even games not updated still look and play smoother. The Quest 3 is good enough to get into VR gaming without a PC. The Quest 1 felt like a gimmick , the Quest 2 was good but still felt compromised but the Quest 3 (while obviously not as a good the average PCVR gaming pc) is able to get much closer and provide a PCVR like experience on newer games. Mixed reality was not something I was interested in but after trying it I think it's awesome, even if you consider it a gimmick it's very cool and fun tech. As someone who really only cared about PC based VR gaming I've been very impressed with the Quest 3. After going on a VR binge in 2019 and some of 2020 I've mostly only played VRChat now but because of the Quest 3 I started exploring VR games again trying out new and old games and even mixed reality stuff too. It's that good but I'd recommend an aftermarket headstrap. The included headstrap seems pretty bad but if you fiddle with it A LOT it can get comfy. Also I returned my 128GB model and bought the 512GB one. It should not cost that much more in price but honestly there's so much cool stuff and games are slowly getting bigger. If you have fast internet , you can buy the 128GB and be fine. There's tons of amateur and professional unboxing videos of the Quest 3 that you can look at if you want to see what it looks like. As for what it's like to buy and own it? It's amazing. Background info: I've been a computer based VR player since 2017 when I got the original Oculus Rift also known as the CV1 on a Black Friday sale. Since then I've bought an Index in 2020 with vive trackers for full body tracking, a Quest 1 as a backup headset, a Quest 2 and now a Quest 3. I have about 6000 hours in VR 5000 of that is in VRChat. Review: The Quest 3 is incredible. It's my first VR headset that uses pancake lens and it's beautiful. I dabbled in standalone gaming on my Quest 2 with games like Resident Evil 4 VR and Iron Man VR which were both great. Iron Man felt a little held back resolution wise with aggressive foveated rendering BUT THE Quest 3 fixes that mostly with higher resolution in literally everything. Everything from the interface to all old and new games feel snappy. I started playing mixed reality mini games like the Ghost Busters one and Synth Riders and the free built in Alien one and everything has been super cool. it's all surprisingly fun. Audio is also great, about as good as the Index. The whole thing feels more reliable though as my Index cable is annoying with how heavy and thick it is. I'm on my third cable in 3 years and still the Index needs to be unplugged sometimes to make it work. I've had no such problems on my Quest 2 and Quest 3. The only reason I still use my Index is for easy full body tracking in VRChat otherwise I play everything on my Quest 3.

It's Meta, so it requires an account with them, which I see as a major downside. Not enough to stop me using it however, as tracking has been vastly improved over the Quest 2 and the full-color passthrough cameras help me orient myself in the real world a lot easier than the warped monochrome cameras the Quest 2 had. Battery is meh, but it is lighter and doesn't push my glasses into my nose. Overall much better/easier to use than its predecessor, though still not terribly durable so be careful, as you should with any VR headset. Also, compatible with PCVR via cable or wireless link, either through Meta or Steam Link.

I previously owned the Quest 2 and a HP Reverb 2 headsets so I can compare the quest 3 to those. Because I already owned those headsets I was on the fence about spending money on the Quest 3 but I wish I bought it sooner, its a massive upgrade, much better than expected. First the screens, I thought the screens on my HP Reverb 2 were great, definitely way better in colors and clarity than the Quest 2. So I was expecting the Quest 3 to be similar to the HP Reverb 2, a nice upgrade to my portable vr sessions. However, what I didn't expect was the Quest 3 to blow my mind on how good of screens they have. The pancake lenses really are gorgious. Everything looks way clearer and natural. Its so good that it instantly ruined both my older headsets, they just look like a blurry mess now. Second is the PC VR experience, I got the HP Reverb 2 because I could never get the Quest 2 to run good on pc vr, it look alright wired, but wireless was hopeless. When I got the Quest 3 I was just going to use it for portable vr and keep the HP Reverb 2 for pc. But I tried the wireless connection with the Quest 3 just to see how it would do, and again my mind was blown. Not only was there no noticable drop in image quality, I didn't notice any latency either. I was able to stream games like Microsoft Flight Simulator from my pc while sitting on my couch, something I cant do with my HP Reverb 2 (cord isn't long enough). The Quest 3 essentially combines the best parts of both my old vr headsets and not only matches them, but beats them. Third, I didn't really expect much from the passthrough. Sure it's in color now but I rarely used the passthrough on my quest 2 so expected I wouldn't use it here either. But the pass through of the Quest 3 is really good. It's not seemless, you can still easily tell your looking through camera's, but its good enough that if I need to check a quick message on my phone, I can actually use my phone with the headset on. So nice to do small quick tasks without having to remove my headset. Overall the Quest 3 is a huge improvement over the Quest 2 and last generation of Desktop headsets. And its price is reasonable, even after the price jump. If you're using an older headset and want something that's an upgrade but not too expensive, the Quest 3 is it.

I purchased two of these so we can play together in the same room, which is awesome fun. These really are amazing and being untethered is great for highly active games. There are currently two issues for me. 1. Many games use hip holster locations, but the system thinks your hips are located directly below your ears, thus when you turn your head (which is very often) your holster locations rotate away from your hips toward your belly and back. This makes things feel less natural and causes missed grabs quite a bit. 2. The system changes its behavior depending on whether you are actively wearing it or not. This seems like maybe it would be a good thing, but it causes problems. If you set the headset down for a couple minutes to use the bathroom while paused in a game for example, you will often come back and be twice as tall in the game as you should be. I wish there was a manual mode that wouldn't try determine if the user is there or not. That being said these are wicked fun. Currently I play Arizona Sunshine 2, Dungeons of Eternity and a little Asgard's Wrath 2.

I got this to replace my PSVR2 since the lack of support doesn't make sense to keep and I'm glad I did. I'm glad that I don't need a Facebook account to use it since not a bit fan of it so I was able to just make a fresh account not linked to anything. It comes with 3 months of their gaming service which is great to try all types of games and also provides deals on other games. Tons of sales on the platform as well so I recommend building a wishlist and getting them on sale. Now the headset. Huge thing is that it's completely wireless. The tech may not be as powerful as a PSVR2 but you can do so much more. I was able to play my Xbox Series X on it with a huge curved screen. It's not perfect since it will stutter from time to time but it gets the job done. I've watch youtube videos again with a huge screen that looks like it's mounted on the wall. Some games use mixed reality which makes it look like your house has holes that zombies are coming out. You can even put the controller down and just use your hands as well with some games that have support as well. The battery life isn't the best maybe 2 hours but could be shortened if casting it to something like a casting device. If you're curious about this product I would say is that it's way better than a PSVR2 I would recommend picking one up.

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!

**UPDATE** It took FOREVER for my refund to get processed so I ended up purchasing one from Best Buy. Everything seemed great until I was greeted again by the blank screen. I did some research online since a few weeks had passed and online forums were starting to catch up to the newly released Quest 3. One person mentioned that the proximity sensor had issues detecting when the headset was on your head. So while I had the headset on my head, I stuck my finger up from the bottom to where the sensor was located in between both eyebrows and surprisingly, the screen came on and everything worked fine. Playing with a finger up my headset was not ideal so I am seriously considering returning the Quest 3. I tend to play a lot of action/exercise apps so I usually play with a black skull cap on my head to reduce the amount of sweat that I get on the headset. It seems like the proximity sensor doesn't like either the color or the material as the screen constantly cuts in and out if I adjust my headset even the slightest bit. Playing without a skull cap, I was able to adjust the headset as much as I wanted and the screen stayed on. The Quest 2 did not have this problem. I also had a minor issue charging the Quest 3 and official elite head strap with extended battery. Normally you can leave the extended battery plugged into the headset and plug the charging cable into the extended battery in order to charge both. I happened to play until the extended battery and headset completely lost battery and shutdown on its own so I left it to charge overnight. The led indicating it was charging came on but the next day, both the headset and extended battery were still at 0% and the headset only showed a low battery symbol. I ended up unplugging the elite strap extended battery from the headset and charged them separately. Both are now operating normally and can be charged using just the extended battery charge port. Lots of weird issues which the Quest 2 did not have and the Meta website was absolutely no help whatsoever. It costs double the price of the Quest 2 and so far there aren't many apps that can use the mixed reality feature so my review still stands at 1 star. It is working for now and I will update if anything elses comes up.. **ORIGINAL REVIEW** Setup was a breeze, all my apps downloaded with no issues and I had a blast for about an hour before being prompted to charge the headset. One hour is all it took to go from 100% down to 2% which was my first disappointment. Maybe the setup and downloading of all the apps is what caused the battery to drain so quickly? Maybe the mixed reality using all the cameras drained the batteries? I will never know because after fully charging the headset and powering it on, I was greeted by the Meta logo followed by a black screen. Controllers would not connect and the Meta Quest app would not connect to the headset. I tried a factory reset by holding the volume down and power button but was again greeted with the Meta logo followed by a black screen. I tried the factory reset a second time to see if it would help but had the same results. While I was chatting with Amazon Customer Service, the headset eventually booted up with the setup process but now when I adjust the IPD dial, the screen cuts in and out. I LOVED the Meta Quest 2 and I do love this Meta Quest 3 but it seems like they have some kinks to work out. There was no option to exchange the item since apparently it was shipped by Amazon but sold by Meta so I have to return the item before purchasing a new one. I will update once I get a working headset..

I love every moment using it really really exceeded my expectations

I upgraded from my Quest 2 to this and oh my what an upgrade. Whilst it doesn't have better "graphics" the image is much clearer and crisper, and it has better performance than most headsets. Pancake lenses are different than the 2's lenses so it took me a couple of hours to fully adjust (5 years of adjustment to the quest 2's lenses vs 1 hour of adjusting to the 3's) People say the 3 is heavier but I disagree. I feel like it's less bulky, yes, but the 3 is much lighter than the 2. And the touch plus controllers are just chefs kiss. I always hated the quest 2 rings and not having them feels so freeing, and I also don't really encounter tracking issues with them either. And as for the colour passthrough, it's trippy at first, but really cool. It's fun to play games in AR around my house. Worth it? Definitely, plus you get 512GB of storage, that's like 3 times what the 2 had. I have about 3 storage heavy games downloaded that my quest 2 couldn't handle, but the 3 just takes it like a champ. All in all good headset, great buy, from me it gets a 4.5/5 because the default headstrap is still garbage, but you can always buy a custom one (which you should). Iamcool out. 😎
