Meta Quest 3 512GB | VR Headset — Thirty Percent Sharper Resolution — 2X Graphical Processing Power — Virtual Reality Without Wires — Access to 40+ Games with a 3-Month Trial of Meta Horizon+ Included

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.

I mean, how can you go wrong? Santa brought this for my son, it's his last year I think he will believe. He knew money was tight so there was no way I could get him all the things he wanted plus a quest 3. He had a 2 but there are a lot of great games you need a 3 or 3s for. He about lost it when he opened it. Battery life seems to be on par with his 2, maybe a little better. But visually is looks great. The pass through camera is really cool and makes things feel super interactive. I haven't played with it much, but my son hasn't had one single complaint. Highly recommended. And if you haven't tried vr, you should go try it out somewhere. Everyone I've recommended it to usually says yeah yeah, ok. But then when they try it out they all want one. Wish I had VR when I was a kid. We only had the virtual boy, and of your my age, you know how well that worked out. Lol

I have enjoyed using this headset. The graphics are solid, and the ability to connect to the computer and use it with games from my Steam account is priceless. I mostly use it with Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have to say, Flight Simulator in VR is on a totally different level!

Eu pensava bastante em Comprar meta quest 3s más ficava pensando bastante na resolução que o quest 3 tinha e achava que isso seria bem melhor para os meus olhos, o acabei o pegando e realmente é melhor mesmo. A resolução é muito boa, e realmente divertido e muito bom jogar e ver vídeos nele, só não sei dizer o quanto alto é o som dele por fora do headset más parece que é bem alto dado ao que meu irmão disse pra mim enquanto eu usava kakakaka. Joguei por um dia inteiro e foi bem tranquilo, só um dia específico acabou me dando enjôo, meio que acabei descobrindo que quanto mais espaço eu tiver e mais parecido com os movimentos do jogo eu fizer menos enjôo eu sinto, é como se o corpo não concordasse completamente com os movimentos que ele vê que eu faço junto ao jogo que está na tela, más é bacana sim é já tô começando a acostumar com isso, seria muito bom poder andar de verdade pra minimizar isso kk. Bateria dura quase duas horas e um pouco mais se eu usar nesclado com o Pc, nesse caso aparentemente o quest nem se esforça em potencia. Se vc viu vídeos ja internet onde os cara mostra que dá pra fazer tudo como por exemplo comer beber pilotar carro kkk e etc, bom alguma coisa ou outra dá pra fazer realmente como por exemplo comer, cortar um pão ou lavar um prato até, só não dá pra enchergar na melhor qualidade do mundo, aparentemente a câmera tem alguns pixels, não exatamente perfeita como mostra nós vídeos do YouTube, más sinceramente também não tá me incomodando não. Aparelho chegou em 2 dias o pedi nesse mês 6. Único contra que eu tenho sobre ele é a strap que ou eu tenho que deixar apertado ou tem que ficar forçando meu rosto, de resto tudo bacana. A e 500 gramas no rosto não é leve não kakaka. E veio tudo certinho

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. 😎

As a vr it's one of the best in the market. But not durable -the gears can get damaged easily you need to put protection also the hand strap is not reliable can break at anytime -the inside lenses can get scratched you need to be very careful wh n cleaning them -the device can get hot needs a better cooling -spare parts are not easy to get or even not available

best vr headset of its time.

La principal razón por la cual lo compré fue meramente por los juegos de entrenamiento como el Box, tiene un catalogo bestial para variar en ejercicios también hay de baile, tennis, de sables/espadas, etc. Para mi es la mejor opción de VR si te interesa hacer ejercicio, ya que tiene muy buen desempeño, no requieres de alguna computadora para poder correr los juegos de la tienda de Meta, no necesitas estar enchufado ya que la batería le dura aproximadamente 2 hrs +- dependiendo del uso. Ahora ademas de los entrenamientos, hay un sin fin de juegos que pueden interesar. Yo soy fan de tocar la batería y hay juegos de eso, incluso hasta simuladores donde bien pudieras tocar cualquier cosa en la batería VR. Tiene muchos usos, sin fin de aplicaciones ya que puedes incluso conectarlo a la PC y correr juegos de PCVR, lo cual la librería de apps se expande abismalmente. En fin, lo recomiendo y todavía aún mas si lo buscas para hacer ejercicio de una forma más divertida. Desde que lo tengo, no he dejado un día pasar sin usarlo.
