   What are you waiting for?

   Now, granted I have only had this for about 24 hours now, but WOW! I am overwhelmed with what I can do with this. The visuals are crisp, control is responsive, and it’s easy to use and link all of your accounts.Want to go on a space walk on the ISS in 3D? Want to dive coral reefs? Wanna fly over Iceland? You can do it all! I can play my Xbox games, watch movies and shows on Amazon Prime. They have concerts at Red Rocks, informative nature shows, etc I honestly don’t know why I waited so long to get one of these.The first friend that came over and tried it had it ordered for pickup before he left my house.Im loving this tech, and feels sturdy and works very well.As far as comfort, the stock strap is lacking in comfort and overall effectiveness, especially when logging extended time or using one of the fitness apps. I ordered an elite strap with an external battery pack and forehead fan to alleviate this issue.This item is worth every penny so far. I will update this review if anything changes.Stop reading and buy this. Treat yourself, you’re worth it!Edit:Now that I’ve had 8t a few weeks, I’m still very happy with this purchase. Do yourself a favor and spend the $ to get yourself a nice halo headstrong. I purchased the BOBOVR S3 Pro and would highly recommend it as the stock strap is not the greatest. I use this headset everyday, so much you can do.

   Amazing VR, But one drawback

   The Meta Quest 3S is an overall fantastic VR headset that delivers an impressive experience. It has a sleek, modern, and clean design that looks great and feels premium. The build quality is solid, and it definitely stands out as a well-crafted device. One of the biggest strengths of the Quest 3S is its immersiveness. The visuals are sharp, the tracking is responsive, and the overall performance makes it easy to get lost in whatever game or app you’re using. Whether it’s gaming, exploring virtual worlds, or using productivity apps, the headset does a great job pulling you in. However, comfort could be improved. While it’s not terrible, longer sessions can become a bit uncomfortable, especially if you’re playing something active. A better head strap or weight distribution would make a big difference in making the experience more enjoyable over extended periods. Despite that, the Meta Quest 3S is a great product, especially for those looking for a high-quality standalone VR experience. If you’re into VR, it’s definitely worth considering. 8.9/10

   Great Headset with Drawbacks

   Review from a professional VR dev with loads of different headsets.The Quest 3S is a great budget headset that can play games on par with the Quest 3 and most other current gen (late 2024) headsets. It provides similar color passthrough and is a solid platform with access to both the native Quest store for standalone play (no external PC required after setup) and (through the Meta Link app) SteamVR when linked to an appropriate computer. The build quality is fairly good, although the included head strap is likely worth an upgrade for most active apps and the glasses adjustment should be changed with care to avoid damaging the mechanism. Overall this is a great headset, but when compared to the Quest 3, the lenses in the 3S both limit the field of view and the in-focus viewing angles. This introduces some fiddliness in getting a perfect fit to see content as clearly as possible – these issues are much less pronounced in the Quest 3. If you’ve never used a Quest 3 then the difference isn’t critical, but it is noticeable to those of us who use both frequently.The headset might not last more than a year or two for a number of reasons. Firstly, VR tech changes rapidly and has generally had large steps in quality and convenience every few years both in hardware and software. The headset might not be able to keep up with new technical requirements for fresh updates and apps after a few years. Meta has already stopped allowing app updates for Gen 1 Quests. Secondly, these devices are extremely sensitive to strong light sources such as the sun. When the lenses get direct rays from the sun into them they are likely to take some damage. Of the seven or so Quests I have had for work, which see an occasional trip to the car (once a month or so), all but the newest one have had at least one dead pixel (attributed to sun focusing through the lenses, but could be from something else). If you spend the money on a headset like this, it is likely worth getting a carrying case and not leaving it by windows.All-in-all this is a good headset on a solid platform. It is probably not a super long-term headset and could benefit from accessories such as a rigid head strap and protective storage case to get the most out of it. If you are new to VR or want something easy to use without breaking the bank, this is a relatively recommendable option. If you want the most out of a standalone headset, maybe look at the Quest 3 (or whatever the flagship is at the time).

   I’ve noticed some little bugs here and there

   This headset works well, I’ve been playing it a lot everyone enjoys it! But the face part is a bit textured and does get uncomfortable after awhile and I have noticed the headset bug out a few times. I did just get this thing barely a week ago btw so that’s something that you might wanna know. The controllers feel good the headset is pretty comfortable for the most part, it does work and it is fun I personally do feel like it was worth the money and I do not regret this purchase so far. Oh but I would recommend getting a battery extender if you plan on playing for a good chunk of time the headset does lasts about 1 and 30 mins to 2 hours oh and get rechargeable batteries for the controllers too so you don’t have to buy batteries every week yep I think that’s about it! I personally also I DO NOT recommend letting your kids play unattended I’ve played a fair amount of games this isn’t my first headset and I’ve seen and heard a lot please watch your kids don’t get this thing for a 15yr or below without parental supervision I’ve literally seen 5 year olds on this all alone not cool guys. Watch your kids properly and keep em safe I personally would only get this for 16+ even that I feel is pushing it there are a lot of creeps. I hope this review helps 😀

   Mind blowing Technology

   This product provides endless hours and possibilities for entertainment for adults and kids. You can use so many functions from the handheld devices to your hands. The screen is designed to feel like a big screen and has multiple screens to toggle between. You can watch movies, play games, google search, watch YouTube, the possibilities are endless! So much value for the money you spend!

   Very good headset, slightly cheaper than other options

   This set is very easy to use and set up. The lenses can get blurry sometimes, and it’s a little difficult to get the headset to stay while also not giving yourself a headache from it pushing too hard against your forehead. The set can be used with glasses if you need to wear them. It may be more difficult to aim the controllers if you have hand tremors. You may strain your eyes a little bit the first time you use the set, but they should adjust. I recommend getting an extension cable for the charger (USB-C) so you can keep it plugged in while you play, as the battery life is a little less than I was expecting. The controllers take AA batteries, and they come with two already put in. The battery life on the controllers is a lot better than the actual headset. They should not die quickly at all. Overall a decently balanced VR headset.

   First VR Device for this family

   While I still don’t understand VR, my son loves this birthday gift. He talks to the game throughout his playing time and it is fund for me to watch him. He lets his brother play too but his brother is completely silent which is also fun to watch. The device seems great and they really like the Batman Game. I still need to figure out how to buy new games without leaving the door open for accidental purchases.

   VR Experience

   Just got my Quest 3S and wow, this thing is awesome! The VR is so immersive, I spent hours lost in another world. The battery life isn’t amazing, but honestly, it’s enough time to play before my eyes need a break anyway. Definitely worth it for the price. Super fun!The only thing I want is a better way to adjust the focus. It’s gets blurry overtime while moving around. The controller would slip. A better grip would make it better

   All around great product!! Buy u will looovvveeee!!!

   Thank u so much Amazon, my first META QUEST 3S got lost in the mail or stolen off my porch b4 I got home or something happened to it😡🤬😢(I don’t think in any way that it was Amazons fault bc mail is crazy for holidays & this was a Christmas present) but despite this they took very good care of me & my kids by replacing it anyways & it was after Xmas bc holidays are crazy & stuff but we finally received it & my kids are ecstatic thank u so so much Amazon they finally got their Xmas present we are very happy to be apart of the Amazon family!!!But yes u really must get this for ur kids & u really don’t need a lot of accessories but we like to have diff ones to choose from ( so we’ll prob get a variety of color designs lol) but over all functionality is perfect the mask that comes with it (for me) is more breathable then the scilacone ones with the nose flaps lol that just makes my nose squish down & close lol but the scilacone grips u can buy are very soft & comfortable and it is nice to get a couple extra battery packs or headset attachments but not needed if u don’t play for more then 2-5 hours at a time & can charge in between but u might want to get a battery pack headset with the extra head support (if ur going to need the extra support AW u may as well get one that has a extra battery attached to it…ya know lol) bc it can get very heavy we have been playing it for a few hours now since we got it in the mail & it’s heavy lol but I already had the attachments from the first time I ordered, so that was good we already had the head support so over all it is well worth the money & the wait to get it I know u won’t regret it. Oh and I almost forgot I did some reading & with the MQ3S U CAN PLAY WITHOUT THE REMOTES (IF U SO CHOOSE TO) AND THAT IS REALLY COOL,FUN, & HANDY IF U LIKE THAT KIND OF FUTURE FEELING LOL BUT YES 10*S IS MORE LIKE IT BUT IT ONLY GOES TO 5*S LOL

    I purchased the quest 3s and while playing games the left controller began doing a weird thing ..like it not allowing me to run almost like it put the brakes on the left controller and I could barely run in all game plays .. unfortunately I had to return it.

    I bought this VR headset for my grandson, and let me tell you, he hasn’t stopped smiling since he opened it! The setup was surprisingly easy, I even managed to help him with it. The headset fits comfortably, and the picture quality is wonderful. This is a must for anyone with children, or grand children!

    Super great technology they worked perfectly except

    I was so excited to receive these and play games and watch videos on big screens within. But every time I put them on and remove them I get super dizzy and lose my balance. I normally use a powered wheelchair to get around so I am used to moving without actually moving I should be used to a situation like this but they make me extremely dizzy I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to wear them I am trying to get accustomed to them by wearing them for five minutes a day but so far it is not helping and making me nauseousI wish that matter would include instructions on how to overcome VR sickness because I had no clue what to do and I still don’t. Not everyone can handle these. However searching YouTube about this problem has helped me learn more about it

    Not quite there yet

    It’s hard not to give this five stars because of how amazing this technology is and the fact that I’ve been dreaming about VR for 30 years. Unfortunately though, most of the positives I have to match with negatives.My biggest issue is the overall clarity with video. Yes, you can sit in a gondola as it moves through the Swiss Alps with the beautiful mountains and countryside around you, but even if it says you’re watching in 1440p, it’s going to look like youre watching on a VHS tape from the 80s. Same thing for watching movies. You want to watch Lord of the Rings? Great. You can expand the movie make it look like it’s on a curved screen as big as you’d like, but the highest resolution you’re going to get honestly looks like 720p. There is also always a bit of smudgyness with the lenses. I’ve wiped them off with the glasses-safe cloth numerous times, but there is always something there regardless.It took a while to find a good adjustment that didn’t make wearing the headset painful but I feel like I’m fairly used to it now. That being said, you are always going to have a gap around the edges of your nose that lets light in. So if you were looking for a really immersive experience, you’ll have to buy a new snap-on piece that frames your face a little bit differently. I also wear contacts, and they do include a small extender if you wear glasses, and I did play around with it a bit but unless you have pretty small classes, I think you might have to buy a different kind of extender.I think what this headset is making me realize is that outside of headsets that use either the Microsoft or Apple OS, all of these are going to feel like immersive smartphones. Facebook/Meta wants to own this space like everybody else. They have their own storefront for apps on this headset, and to some extent that means they are going to be the ones that control what is or isn’t on this device. You can get Instagram. But you can’t get tik tok. You can get prime video, but not Hulu, Netflix, or Max. You can apparently link to your desktop and do everything through that, but I haven’t tested that yet.Also, one last feature that this thing is lacking. It gives you a mode that allows you to see what’s around you as you’re walking through your house in 720p vision, but you can’t have screens follow you as you walk. Not sure why not. They allow you to move the screens everywhere and reposition at any time, but you can’t put a video in the corner of your vision while your doing other things, which feels like a HUGE miss.

    Awesome product but it takes some getting used to.

    I think the product is absolutely amazing and very cool. But my first time playing it, I think I played way too long and it made me kind of nauseous. Now I only play in small doses and the more I do it the less nauseous I get. I’m so glad they sent the spacer for your glasses with them also because I ended up needing to wear mine. The product is AWESOME and I would definitely recommend purchasing.

    Perfect VR headset for first timers

    Me and my wife both love this thing. Wife uses it for workout games mostly and I use it mainly for gaming. Being our first time into the VR world, this headset is just amazing. It has the same specs as the more expensive $500 Meta Quest 3 except that the display resolution is lower and the lens is a different type that doesn’t provide the best visuals at the outer edge of your vision. Other than that, this thing is the best bang for your buck if you want to get into VR.

    Best VR Headset I’ve Ever Purchased!

    Let me start of when I say that this was what the Quest 2 was building up to be!! They’ve improved almost every feature that came with this headset. One of these features being hand tracking. The hand tracking on this headset is phenomenal, I’m able to move my hands extremely freely and able to do tons of movements without it losing tracking once!! The passthrough cameras now coming in color is an extreme plus!! Say I’m setting up my headset and it wants me to look at my phone.. I can now use my phone without even having to take it off AT ALL!! With these incredible cameras comes with one of the best features of this new generation of Quest headsets… MIXED REALITY!! It is so awesome to see aliens breaking through your walls, your ceilings, your desk!! Genuinely have never been more immersed. The resolution on this headset is amazing too!! Not once did I see a single thing of screen door effect on my headset. I also tried out the BatMan game that comes with this headset, and I think it is a perfect match to show you what this headset can do! It runs a perfect frame rate and the graphics are so beautiful it reminded me of Half-Life Alyx. I would recommend this headset to any video game lover even if they have never tried VR!!!

    Great VR Experience with Minor Drawbacks

    The Meta Quest 3S 128GB is an impressive all-in-one VR headset that offers a fantastic virtual reality experience. The inclusion of Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-month trial of Meta Quest+ adds great value to the package. The mixed reality feature is a standout, allowing you to blend digital objects into your real-world environment seamlessly.The headset is lightweight and comfortable, making it easy to wear for extended periods. The 360-degree rotatable design is a nice touch, and the solid bamboo wood construction adds a touch of elegance. The graphics quality is excellent, and the hand tracking is almost perfect, making the VR experience immersive and enjoyable.However, there are a few minor drawbacks. The battery life could be better, as it lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours on a single charge. Additionally, the head strap that comes with the headset is flimsy and may need to be replaced for better comfort and support. The image quality can be a bit blurry for those who wear glasses, but this can be improved with custom prescription inserts.Overall, the Meta Quest 3S 128GB is a great VR headset that offers a lot of value for its price. It’s perfect for both VR newcomers and experienced users looking for an affordable and versatile option. Highly recommended with a few minor reservations.

    It’s alright

    This was my first VR headset.Upon setting it up, I immediately regretted not getting the full Quest 3, with the higher quality lenses. The image on the 3S was a little blurry or fuzzy, with some pixelation. The resolution just isn’t high enough I guess. But it’s really not terrible for a starter headset.The primary issue I had with the 3S was that it almost immediately started producing an electronic/plastic burning smell whenever it was doing anything. I even tried linking it to my PC and letting my PC do the heavy lifting, but it still got extremely hot and that burning smell came out of the front/top ventilation, growing in intensity with time.I searched around the internet to see if that was normal. While I couldn’t find answers specifically for the 3S, there were numerous similar cases for previous generations. In those, dozens of commenters said to return it, and I found nobody claiming it was normal. I ended up returning the 3S for that reason.Update: I purchased a Quest 3 after returning this. The upgrade in visual clarity is significant and absolutely warrants the price bump for me. Also, no burning smells this time around, so I believe my 3S was indeed defective.

    Not impressed/Disappointing

    I bought his because I’ve had the quest 2 for over 3 years and use it almost daily. The battery life was down to about an hour so I was hoping this battery would be like when I first bought the quest 2. It was fully charged when I started, and at 1:39:00 it said “low battery”. When I first got my quest 2, it had 2.5 hours before it gave the low battery alert. I was really hoping this battery would at least start out with the same life.2. When I swing at the ball, I keep missing it or when I hit it, I can’t feel it so it’s not tracking right.3. The lowest volume is too loud for me. I either have to turn it off all the way or get annoyed by the blaring sound on the lowest volume setting.4. You would think the old adjustable head strap/gear that I bought extra would snap onto this, since the headset looks to be the same. Nope, I’m going to have to buy another one because that one part is a different length. I don’t like the one that comes with it. You can’t adjust where the pressure is so it presses pretty hard on the forehead until it hurts.The improvements are:1. It will draw your boundary for you. It sees where everything is in your space and draws around it. I still had to draw mine anyway because it was too close to the items in my room so if I swing at the edge, I hit something. If you aren’t swinging, it’s probably fine.2. The pass through is much improved. As soon as you hit quit, you can see your whole room. It’s also much clearer. You can keep the headset on and read your phone through it without taking it off.3. The sound is more stereo sounding so if it’s not too loud for you, it sounds better.4. The controllers have a button to release the battery covering so it’s a lot easier to replace the batteries. I always struggled with getting the cover off on the old controllers.5. The old battery charger can still be used for this but it comes with a new one. This means if you have an external battery, you can still use it. My external battery worked fine.Update. I’ve been playing this for a week and got so mad at how badly it tracks that I got my old quest 2 out. This is quite a disappointment. The battery on my 3.5 year old quest 2 is just as good

    Is the Quest 3s Worth It?

    As someone completely new to the VR world, the Quest 3s is my first VR device and has introduced me to this exciting technology. The primary reason I chose it was its price—it offers exceptional value for money. If you’re on the fence about whether to buy it, I highly recommend it. While I can’t predict the future of VR devices, the Quest 3s is undoubtedly one of the best options for entering the VR space without breaking the bank.For newcomers like me who are budget-conscious, this device is an excellent choice. Of course, the final decision is yours, but I hope you lean toward saying yes. If you happen to have a bit more to spend, consider going for the Quest 3 instead. Although I haven’t personally used it, I’m confident it would be worth its price as well. Either way, happy VR exploring!

    Fun on a Budget

    I bought this headset for my Christmas present so that I could get back into exergaming. (My PCP told me to lose 20 pounds. I’m about to lose 180.) I also bought a headset for my brother’s Christmas present. He’s a history buff, and I thought he’d like to see immersive historical content.We’re both enjoying the Meta Quest 3s. I’ve run into some glitches with the Batman Arkham Shadow game you get at no charge, but I’ve had some good workouts beating up the bad guys. Also, I have a fear of heights, and the graphics are realistic enough to almost make me feel as if I’m standing on ledges. Yes, I feel silly when I remember I’m not, but what an experience!I know some expert headset owners complain about the lenses, graphics, and some other features. And you might feel dizzy at times, especially watching 360° videos with fast motion. That said, if you’re looking for your first headset or just want one that’s on the less expensive side, I highly recommend the Meta Quest 3s.

    Worth it!

    This system is so much fun. I was skeptical at first, but I absolutely love it. Toss in the Batman game and you have great value. One thing to note is most games are not free. The 3 month free subscription is nice for trying out some new games, but most of the ones you’ll want do cost money, which is how video game systems work I guess. I did buy a new headstrap and it is 100% more comfortable, so something to consider. Golf+ has been my favorite game so far. Time will tell if it helps my real swing

    MetaQuest 3s ..Well worth $299, save up for 3 if you can…

    I am in my 60s, the reason I say this is because there’s probably a few people in my age bracket that have no clue on what VR and MR are. It’s virtual reality and mixed reality and I promise you you have never experienced anything like it.. matched up with golf plus I am considering what the future will bring when I’m not able to move around as much as I am now… and I like it. Do you want to go to a gambling casino? Shoot some basketball, or simply watch VR and explore. Watch a movie in the theater on a theater screen… or for sports lovers, you’ve never really experienced the NFL until you’ve seen it in a theater on VR. I will mention that there is the reality of motion sickness, so don’t immerse for too long at first for you will pay a price. MetaQuest 3S is not as clear as the MetaQuest 3 due to the Fresnel lens versus the pancake lens on the MetaQuest 3.. it is significant from what I hear so if you can afford $200 more,upgrade to the meta-quest three like I will be doing soon..

    New to VR? Highly recommend! Otherwise…

    Quest 3s has shown to be a powerful headset on its own accord. From the new features of the pass through, mixed reality apps, and playing my older games at much higher resolution; I really enjoyed my time on this headset. Meta has improved the load times and processing speed that I felt like it was close to my smartphone processing power. If you are mainly playing on the oculus platform and have not yet played any VR, get this headset for sure.The cons…I came from a PCVR background and owned the original Quest 1. Wished they would still go back and implement everyone of their headsets with a manual IPD setting. I’m lucky I have an exact IPD of 68 otherwise I would’ve returned this headset in an instant. Meta, if you wanted to make your headsets more accessible then have IPD settings be more than 3 clicks on the lenses.I miss the OLED screens of the past but the quest 3 didn’t have that either so I can’t blame them fully for that.Comfort would be the biggest con for this headset actually. I had to buy a comfort strap (like everyone else) cause the company still has not changed the original strap design since the original quest. If you guys have the money, buy this headset knowing you have the right IPD and with another strap. Otherwise, upgrade to the quest 3 directly (still most likely will have to buy a new headstrap still).

    Impressive

    It’s honestly really impressive. So much value for a low price. And frankly the resolution decrease compared to regular quest 3 isn’t that big of a deal. The Fov is something to be desired but honestly anyone can adapt to it. It’s the same as the 2 so it’s very playable. Storage isn’t impressive but that can easily be fixed by connecting it to steam. Not having a headphone jack is dumb though

    What’s up with the controller tracking?

    I had the 2nd Gen oculus and ive gotta give credit where it’s due- this little guy does a lot of work but it’s particularly frustrating when I lose in beat saber because the left controller glitches right at the beginning of something complexed. Besides that, I’m able to get at least a good 6 rounds of whatever games I choose and still have plenty of battery life left. It’s lightweight and I like that but it still doesn’t balance the pressure you feel from an incoming headache when you have it on for more than 30 mins. I love it besides the controller glitches

    Perfect For Casual Use

    If yo just need something to watch videos or play simple VR games, definitely get this. It’s affordable and gets the job done. Only downside is that it’s EXTREMELY annoying to install 3rd part software. You need to enable “developer mode” which requires authenticating a setting in the app, making an account on the meta website, and screwing around the settings for ages, and then downloading another program to your computer to install non-meta games.

    The quest 3s is a beast for games. I feels good on the head. My only 2 gripes ar that it has a pretty bad battery life (1.5-2h) and the screens look more poor than the quest 3 as to be expected though

    It’s great! Two issues though.

    I bought this with my Christmas money I got this year, just as an upgrade from the quest 2 and it’s fantastic! I love Batman Arkham shadows! But speaking of Batman Arkham shadows, just like I did, you may have this issue, where you can’t redeem the game, and you have to pay for it again. Thankfully you can talk to meta support and they will add the game to your account, the second issue I have, the default headstrap and facial interface is really uncomfortable. But other those few issues, it’s a great headset!!!!

    Excellent!

    Such an awesome product for the price. The Batman game that came with it was really fun to play, alongside other games. It does feel immersive. Watching shows and sports feels like you are in the action. The augmented reality has improved from previous generations. Biggest con is the battery life, as it only lasts 2 hours.

    I got this for my 9 year old son, it was an unparalleled hit.

    This thing is truly incredible. My 9 year old son loves it. I purchased all the optional accessories made for this model that Meta offer. The accessories greatly enhance the gaming experience and I strongly recommend buy the optional extras because they bring more to the gaming experience than what you will pay on top of the MetaQuest. You will notice the differences between playing with the MetaQuest as it comes stock out of the box compared to playing with the accessories. I was worried about motion sickness but it didn’t seem to effect my son. At least not in a way that makes game play a deal breaker. I would love to buy another one so we can play together to be honest.

    I have never tried VR. I’m a 37yr. Old dude. Upon trying this out my mind was BLOWN!!!! It’s wild beyond belief, sooooo cool!!!! I don’t know how many times I yelled out loud – WHOAAAAAA!!!!!! Enough said, if you’re interested, this is your sign to get one because you absolutely will not regret it!!!! Only thing I’ll tell you is that you’ll need to get the upgraded headset / extra battery because you’ll go through the stock battery pretty quickly.

    My husband loves this VR set! He isn’t a huge gamer, so I took a chance getting it for him, and now he plays it every night after work. It has tons of games, no issues with connection or linking, and it’s super durable. The battery life isn’t the best, but we solved that with a cable for games that don’t require much movement. Overall, a great buy and a very happy husband!

    Love it

    I love my new oculus. It’s a little heavy through the nose it does steam up the lenses. They won’t fit tight enough no matter how I adjust them for my face the strap is poor because you can’t get it adjusted right the face is so heavy it always wants to slide off and then you put it on real tight you got a headache and the Glass lens gets foggy but as far as playing it I love it I deal with all the negative because I love it so much

    Amazing headset for the value, but has clear tradeoffs

    I got this headset for my mom as a birthday present so that we could play VR minigolf together in different countries, and it’s been fantastic! Phone calls are great, but being able to be next to each other virtually and have fun is unbeatable.But I have a Quest 3 that I used to loan to my mom which got her hooked on VR in the first place. And so the first thing she asked me when using her new 3S was why it was blurry and looked off. I had to tell her that it’s because the 3S uses fresnel lenses. Also when going through the tutorial, we both had slight struggles with the hand tracking part, so it seems the hand tracking on the Quest 3 is better as well. We do like the new button on the 3S that lets you switch from passthrough to VR instantly though, and it’s amazing that we get to play the same Quest 3 compatible games now. So overall it’s still an awesome headset, but if you have the budget for it I’d recommend getting the 3 over the 3S.

    This was a request from my son for Christmas, and it did not disappoint! He plays games, checks email, searches Google, etc. The screen is crisp and clear. It adjusts to fit his head. Charges easily and holds charge a long time. The adapters last a long time while needing double A batteries here and there. Wonderful gift!

He so often gets clothes for birthdays and Christmas, but when I found this, I knew it would work since the one he had was a very early model and this one has great options.

    When I’m in the mood it’s fun. If you’re having trouble with bills, this purchase probably isn’t for you. It’s something you will do a lot the first month then not for awhile. It’s more fun for sure with friends. It’s easy to get sick if not on a lot. There are plenty of free fun things to do, but that will get boring also. You e really gotta make the fun happen.

    No strings attached!

    I just got this and am totally amazed by what I have seen so far. It is a bit of a learning process to get everything logged on (still working on it) but the few included demos are amazing. Great Cybor Monday offer buy. I was a PS4 VR player but this is so much better not having to deal with so many wires. I do wish hand controllers were rechargeable (they are not and use one AA battery each) plus I also wish there was a headphone jack on this (there is not) and finally PS4 VR games are so much better and so many more. But again, having the freedom to move around with no strings attached is wonderful. I also love the pass-through view (no need to remove headset to see what’s in front of you.

    Got Mine/ update-2025

    Christmas has come and gone and I will finally get my Meta Quest 3S up and running tonight with other family members. This will be our NewYears game plans.Bring on dem multi-player games.This is my updated review. I truly njoy playing with my Meta Quest 3S VR headset. Once I settled on which games I could play that would not give my brain a ride for it’s money, I took my time. I seen alot of shooters type games like zombies, space, and military. I also njoyed games that I have played via computer, game units, Xbox, PS4, PS5, and my cell phone.There are some games that are solely made for novice people who has not ever played or experienced VR.
