What an Upgrade!

I’ve had my original Quest since February of 2020 and had been wanting an upgrade since the 2 came out. I’m cheap, so when my sister told me a 3 was coming out? I figured I’d bide my time and wait it out. During this past year a lot of things happened in life that put a new VR headset low on my priority list, but I was finally able to get one. OMG! This thing is fantastic! I’m rehabbing from a broken hip, so am only able to do seated games, but dang! What a difference! If you are on the fence about whether to get one with more storage? Do yourself a favor and get this one. My entire library from the first one is on it with soooo much storage space left for the new ones I’ve gotten. Definitely recommend this one! Also? Do consider getting a different head strap (ie one with additional battery) as a counter weight because it does tend to get a little heavy after a while.

crazy amazing…

you are transported to new worlds…can’t believe how immersive it is and the fact that the sound even without headphones in your ears, blocks out the noise around you in the room. totally awesome!

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.

Headband is not so good, but has more storage than the 128

Well they improved the graphics, and naturally more features. This has the option to scan its surroundings without you having to draw it out like the previous unit. Battery life appears to be slightly improved at 2.3 hours versus the previous version with 2 hours. And thats probably a good thing, people need to take a breather and not live on these things. It came with a free game and that is a helpful little bonus.

Unbelievable Quality

I used the Oculus Quest 2 before, and I can tell you the difference is night and day. Phenomenal resolution, sound and comfortable strap placement bring it all together. I was apprehensive of the price tag, but I’m happy to say my fears were alleviated.

Wow! This Headset is Amazing! Experience Well Worth the Investment!

This is my first experience with VR/AR/MR, as I chose to wait until the graphics were more impressive (actually, I’ve been waiting quite a long time… since VR conversations became fairly commonplace with the release of the Sega Genesis! Yeah… I’m that old.). I’m so glad I started with this unit (Meta Quest 3) because I was truly blown away right from the start! The setup process was easy enough, though it had its quirks (I used an e-mail setup since I don’t use Facebook). In setting up the MQ3 via my phone, I noticed I had to close the app twice to get it to resume where it left off (when you close/reopen, it recognizes you were not done and resumes without issue, so try that if you get stuck). I’ve only had it for a few days and am blown away by the Batman app (I don’t like fighting games, but this is mostly exploring with relatively little fighting), Red Matter (incredible experience; finished it yesterday!), Red Matter 2 (started today and am already hooked!), and I really love the Supernatural: Unreal Fitness program! The first two apps were free (Batman is included in the package I bought here, and Red Matter (the 1st one) came with the free Quest+ trial subscription, and I paid for the latter two. The Unreal Fitness program is $10/month, and totally worth it! You can’t know/understand until you try it, and they do give you a free week trial, btw. I am a runner (all my life) and enjoy staying in shape, and this fitness program is amazing, as they drop you in different (beautiful!) places around the world, and the music is great and the movement patterns are really fun (honestly, I didn’t think I’d like it at first, as it sounded boring… but I’m so glad I kept an open/curious mind and tried it out!). The graphics on the games is so detailed, right down to chipped paint and curling wallpaper on walls, etc… and I love the intuitive movements… I’m the guy who will squat down in these games to check under chairs and desks for clues, and it’s just so amazingly realistic! I did begin to feel somewhat panicked the first time I crawled out of the window in Batman and looked down into the alley from several stories up (and when I entered that huge generator room in Red Matter), but that just added to the experience and believability, so I’m more impressed by it than bothered! In fact, I was so impressed with the overall experience that I bought a set for my wife (she likes it, too) and another for my parents so that they can try it out! Highly recommended! I also bought the Elite Strap Battery for more comfort and to add more play time and I’m glad I did, so consider getting one of those, too (or a similar device). Oh, and you’ll need a rubber/silicone cover for the mask part (that touches your face) to protect that cloth from sweat (not sure why they put cloth there… odd). Anyway, enjoy! I certainly am!

Not bad

I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for a while now, and it has truly elevated my VR experience. The visuals are sharp, the processing power is impressive, and the overall performance is smooth and immersive. The library of apps and games is expansive, making it easy to find something new and exciting every time I put the headset on.However, there are a few drawbacks.First, the head strap could be more comfortable and adjustable, especially for longer sessions. It doesn’t always provide the best fit, which can be a bit frustrating.Second, the lack of a physical IPD adjustment slider can be inconvenient. While digital adjustment is available, it doesn’t always allow for precise tuning to individual needs.It’s also worth noting that despite the device’s high quality, its price is higher compared to previous models and some competitors. This may be a deterrent for some potential buyers, especially those new to VR.Finally, the Meta Quest 3 doesn’t natively support PC VR. While you can connect to a PC via Oculus Link or Air Link, this might lead to latency or quality issues, which could be a downside for those who want the best possible PC VR experience.Additionally, the battery life is quite short. I often find myself needing to recharge after just a couple of hours, which can interrupt the experience.Overall, the Meta Quest 3 is a fantastic VR headset, but it would benefit from a more comfortable strap, a physical IPD adjustment slider, longer battery life, and a more accessible price point. Despite these minor issues, I highly recommend it to anyone looking to dive into virtual reality.*Here’s my photo with custom Head Starp

A Massive Leap Forward from the Quest 2

As someone who has used the Meta Quest 2 extensively, upgrading to the Meta Quest 3 has been a game-changer in almost every way. While the Quest 2 was a fantastic introduction to VR, the Quest 3 feels like a true next-generation device that improves on its predecessor in nearly every category.What I Love About the Upgrade:Improved Visuals: The jump in resolution is immediately noticeable. The Quest 3’s displays deliver sharper, more vibrant visuals with 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye compared to the Quest 2’s 1920 x 1832. Text is easier to read, environments feel more immersive, and games like Red Matter 2, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners and Batman Arkham Shadow look stunning. It’s like upgrading to a new console generation.Powerful Performance: The Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip in the Quest 3 is twice as powerful as the XR2 Gen 1 in the Quest 2. This means faster load times, smoother gameplay, and better graphical fidelity. Even demanding games run effortlessly, and everything feels more responsive.Mixed Reality (MR): The addition of full-color passthrough cameras is a game-changer for mixed reality experiences. Unlike the Quest 2’s grainy black-and-white passthrough, the Quest 3 lets you see your surroundings clearly in color, blending virtual and real-world elements seamlessly. While MR apps are still limited, what’s available is fun and shows great potential for future experiences.Comfort and Design: The Quest 3 is slimmer and better balanced than the Quest 2, making it more comfortable for extended sessions. The new pancake lenses reduce bulk, and I find myself able to stay in VR longer without discomfort.Upgraded Controllers: The redesigned controllers are sleeker and more ergonomic without the bulky tracking rings of the Quest 2. They feel more precise, and haptic feedback has been improved for a more immersive experience.What Could Be Better:Battery Life: Unfortunately, battery life hasn’t improved much compared to the Quest 2. Both headsets last about 2–3 hours per charge, which is fine for casual sessions but might require frequent recharging during longer playtimes.Mixed Reality Content: While MR capabilities are impressive, there aren’t many apps or games that fully take advantage of it yet. This will likely improve over time as developers create more content tailored to these features.

Oculus

The driver and the product was awesome. What was not awesome was that they just slapped the stickers on the oculus box, the tracking/address label and the battery hazard label. This was a gift that I figured would come box in box. Alas I spent over an hour getting the stickers off and keep the actual packaging flawless. It’s was hard work. Even if it’s for your self, I would select gift wrap option since it clearly says what’s in this box. Burglars are everywhere this time of year and would have hated to have had this burgled.

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.

Incredible VR Experience with Impressive Performance!

I’m thrilled with my Meta Quest 3 512GB VR Headset! The powerful performance and graphics are outstanding, making every app and game feel incredibly immersive. Watching movies on it while lying in bed is an amazing experience—it truly feels like a personal theater. The only area for improvement would be the speakers, as they aren’t as powerful or high-quality as I’d like. Overall, though, the headset delivers an awesome VR experience that’s well worth it!I watch Corn on it from time to time and oh my gosh it is a game changer from watching Corn the regular way.

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!

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.

Awesome

I bought the bigger Gig and holy cow . What an amazing experience. This new set rocks. Is it better than the 2 ? Absolutely!, more games and you just can’t beat the mixed reality! Like holy cow, I wouldn’t expect this technology to come out for a few more years at least. It’s like having the meta quest 2 on steroids.

amazing quality and light weight

It connects to my pc perfectly the box was flawless and with the signature factory packaging wrapping it was nice and clean looking and worked with mixed reality out of the box. Very nice headset and the weight of the device made me think it was significantly upgraded from the 2nd or 1st iteration of the quest.

Amazing

My1st VR experience, so I went all out on this purchase. I am amazed at what this can do. Mind you, I’m almost 58 and have not had this experience before. I didn’t have any expectations from previous experience. That said, for me, it was a purchase that I’ll get movie time, game time, and something I can share with my 4yr old granddaughter.

I love my Oculus

I had version 2 and decided to upgrade. The passthrough and mixed reality is much better. Inclusion of Arkham is a nice add-on. Great game.
