    The Meta Quest 3S is an upgraded version of the Quest 3, offering similar features but with some key improvements. It’s still lightweight, comfortable, and offers an amazing VR experience. The display is clear and sharp, and you can move freely with the wireless design. It also has a color passthrough feature, so you can see your surroundings while using VR. Setting it up is simple, and there are lots of fun games and apps available. The controllers work great, and the hand tracking is even better than before. The biggest downside is that it’s still a bit expensive, but if you're looking for top-notch VR, the Meta Quest 3S is a great choice.

    I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he’s been playing this non stop, the graphics are amazing and compared to the quest 2, you can actually see the real work and the virtual world. I would say it consumes a lot of energy, but I love the virtual experience and so does my boyfriend. It’s also a lot more advanced compared to the other models.i also got him the Batman game and he loves it!

    Meta Quest 3s Review: An Older Gamer’s Take

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As someone who’s been gaming since the days of Pong and Atari, I’ve had a front-row seat to the evolution of gaming technology. I’ve watched it grow from simple pixelated blips to cinematic storytelling and now, fully immersive virtual reality. The Meta Quest 3s doesn’t just continue that journey ... it leapfrogs ahead in ways I couldn’t have imagined as a kid in the arcade. Right out of the box, the headset feels solid and well-crafted. It’s lighter than I expected, and more comfortable than any VR gear I’ve worn in the past. That alone made a huge difference, especially for longer sessions. The redesigned straps and better balance mean I can wear it for an hour or two without needing to take a break ... something that wasn’t possible with earlier headsets. The real magic, though, is in the visuals. The clarity is simply stunning. The colors pop, the resolution is crisp, and everything feels lifelike in a way that still makes me shake my head in amazement. I remember when 8-bit sprites were the pinnacle of home graphics ... now I’m walking through entire worlds that feel real enough to reach out and touch. What truly impresses me is how user-friendly it is. You don’t need a high-end PC or a mess of cables. It’s all built-in, wireless, and intuitive. That plug-and-play experience is a blessing ... especially when I think back to the endless driver updates and troubleshooting of older systems. The library of games and experiences is growing fast, and I’ve already lost hours in both action-packed shooters and peaceful exploration apps. There’s a deep sense of immersion that makes even simple games feel like full adventures. And with the new mixed reality features, I can blend my physical space with virtual objects in a way that bridges the past and future of gaming. As a 52-year-old who’s seen it all ... from Commodore 64s to the PS5 ... I can honestly say this headset reignites the sense of wonder that first got me hooked on gaming decades ago. It’s not just a device for kids or techies. It’s for anyone who remembers what it was like to dream about the future of gaming… and wants to finally live in it. Verdict: The Meta Quest 3s is more than just a new gadget ... it’s a testament to how far we’ve come. It honors the past while pointing straight toward the future. For lifelong gamers like me, it’s not just fun. It’s awe-inspiring.

    The Quest 3S 128GB headset in white is an absolute game-changer in the world of VR. From the moment I put it on, I was blown away by the stunning graphics and incredibly smooth performance that made every virtual moment feel incredibly real. The included Batman: Arkham Shadow game is a perfect showcase of the headset’s power—immersing me in Gotham City like never before, with thrilling action and breathtaking detail. The 3-month trial of Meta Horizon+ adds even more value, opening up endless social and gaming experiences that keep expanding the fun. The all-in-one design means no complicated setups or wires—just pure freedom to explore virtual worlds wherever I want. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer or just curious about VR, the Quest 3S delivers comfort, power, and an unbeatable user experience. This headset is truly the future of immersive entertainment! Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their gaming and virtual adventures to the next level!

    As a 25-year-old Computer Science sophomore, I spend a lot of time around tech but the Oculus Quest 3S blew me away. I picked it up from Best Buy recently, and honestly, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made all year. I injured my right hand a while back and haven’t been able to use traditional game controllers. The Quest 3S changed everything. The hand tracking and motion controls are super intuitive, and I can still play most games using just my left hand and head movement. It’s made gaming fun again during a time that could’ve been pretty frustrating. Best Buy made the process smooth, and I got it on sale too, which was a nice bonus. Whether you’re into VR development or just want to relax and game without needing a controller in each hand, this headset is worth it. Would 100% recommend it. Especially if you’re into tech and want something that’s not just fun but also pretty accessible.

    Okay, so my coworker brought his Meta Quest 3S to work last week and let me try this awesome game called "First Encounters." I was totally blown away! It was so cool, I knew right then and there that I had to get one. I rushed straight to Best Buy after work and snagged two Quests, one for my best friend's birthday (lucky him!) and one for myself. Seriously, I haven't put this thing down since! Watching movies is a whole new experience now; it feels like I'm actually in the theater. And the menus are super smooth, no lag at all. Makes using it a breeze. Now, here's the thing: I think maybe the regular Quest 3 might have been a better fit for me. But honestly, the price on the 3S was just too good to pass up! No regrets though, this thing is amazing.

    I love how much faster and smoother my favorite games and apps run, such as Rec Room and the web browser. I also love the new facial interface as it’s much more comfortable than the Meta Quest 2. The only downside is the weight of the headset. After 30 minutes to an hour of use, you may start to truly feel the weight of the headset on your head. Although it’s not terrible, it can be quite uncomfortable at times. It’s a good idea to take breaks often, but other than that i’d reccomend this product.

      We also appreciate your honest feedback about the headset’s weight. We recommend experimenting with strap adjustments to help distribute the weight more evenly.

    I bought this for my son because he kept bugging me to buy it for him. Now since I bought it for him he can’t put them down. I see him twirling around in the room boxing with no one there totally enjoying himself so I would give this Mega Quest 3s with 128GB of storage five stars. It is worth it from watching my son entertain himself by himself.

    There are a couple cool things like the transparent view and hand tracking. But, overall the games all cost extra. It crashes mid game constantly. The battery seems to always be running low, the music in the games are lame and the cool game that I actually liked was taken off for some unknown reason. The demo for some games is really good but then when you buy the game. It’s a crappier version of the game. As if they baited you with good graphics and gameplay in the demo but then stiffed you after you buy the game. Way to go Zuckerberg.

    First of all is way better than the old oculus. They are far more comfortable, and they don’t seem to be getting me as dizzy as the oculus used to. So far the experience has been great.

Not to mention lightweight, simple to carry around and use anywhere. Easy to set up and comfortable to use for the most part once you find the sweet spot. Just don’t tighten the straps too tight ! The free Batman game was just icing on the cake :)

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought as a gift for my boyfriend’s birthday and I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3s for a while now, and overall, I’m very satisfied. The visual quality is okay and colors are vibrant, and the details are okay too. You can really feel the VR experience, especially in action-packed or exploration-based VR games. I personally love Beat Saber and my bf usually plays Security game. The 3s is budget friendly and I believe you can start with this one. The only downside for me is that it feels a bit heavy, and after a while, it puts some pressure on my forehead, causing slight discomfort. Taking short breaks helps, but I do wish it was a bit lighter. We also purchased an additional head strap, which made a big difference in comfort. It fits much better and allows for longer sessions without discomfort. The overall experience feels smoother and more enjoyable with this setup.

It has literally everything but the newer pancake screens that the 3 has. Every single internal component matches the 3. You cant ask for a better value. I think its more than worth it especially if its your first VR experience. Batman is fun. Warplanes is fun. Im aboue to try skyrim VR after i finish this review.
