Customer Ratings & Reviews

An extreme improvement over the Quest 2. If you are into VR, this is a must have. I fell into the world of VR a little over a year ago, primarily to play a game called VRChat. A few hundred hours later, and we're still here, having a blast every day. When the Quest 3 was announced, I was a little hesitant on upgrading, but in the end, I am glad that I did. While there are a few downsides, they upsides highly outrank them. Let's talk about the pros; - Resolution is INSANELY better than the Quest 3. The picture is much nicer and everything is sharper and clearer. - The pancake lenses are a huge step up from the Quest 2 lenses. There is much less chromatic aberration, and no blurriness when not looking directly in the center of the lenses. You can look all around and it will be clear everywhere. Whites and blacks are much sharper with a lot less light bleed as the Quest 2. - The passthrough is not even comparable. With the Quest 3 you have full color passthrough, and it's pretty darn good. I am able to read my phone, read my computer monitors, DJ in VR all while wearing the headset. No longer do I have to peek through the nose hole to try and see anything. - While I do not play standalone Quest, I imagine the performance is much better, as the chipset is a huge upgrade over the Quest 2. - The controllers are much better than the Quest 2, no longer requiring those large obnoxious rings. The tracking also feels much better. Now for some cons! - The battery life is not as good as the Quest 2, but it's easily remedied with external battery packs. I was already doing this with my Quest 2, so not a big deal to me. - Not a huge fan of the facial interface, and there are not any aftermarket options that are as good as the Q2 aftermarket ones. No biggie, support will come eventually. - The headstrap is not as comfortable as the Quest 2, however I replaced mine with a BoboVR headstrap immediately, and that fixed any issues there. Very comfortable headset with that. I've done many 7+ hour stints with 0 sign of pain. - May require a better PC setup if you are a PCVR'er! As a personal example, using my Quest 2, I would be able to run ~50/60FPS in very populated rave worlds using my 3080 Ti. Now, I experience around 30 frames in these same worlds with the same settings. This is definitely due to the increase in resolution. It pushed me to purchase a 4090 however, so this is a non-issue for me any longer, but something to keep in mind. All in all, I really enjoy this headset and I'm not sure there are any other headsets that come close - if you want to stay wireless. If I was playing wired, I would probably opt for the Bigscreen VR headset, but I enjoy the freedom that comes with wireless, so the Quest 3 is it for me! The attached picture shows my primary setup for VRChat. I 3D printed an adapter for the Vive 3.0 tracker to mount to the HMD. As I play PCVR primarily, I have swapped to Index controllers, as well, but the Q3 controllers will still work with PCVR no problem! If you're an enthusiast into VR, definitely check it out.

I recently picked up the Meta Quest 3, and honestly, I’m kind of blown away by it. The graphics are on another level compared to the older models. Everything is so crisp and clear—it really pulls you into whatever world you’re in. The headset itself is super comfortable, too. I can wear it for longer stretches without feeling like I need to take it off every five minutes. That’s been a problem for me with other VR headsets, so I was relieved to find this one feels more natural. The AR feature has been a fun surprise. I didn’t know how much I’d like it, but it’s actually pretty cool to experience a mix of the real world and virtual elements. The hand tracking is surprisingly accurate, too. It feels much more fluid and less clunky than the last time I used a VR headset. As for games, there’s no shortage of things to try out. I’ve been able to dive into some pretty immersive worlds, and the performance has been smooth. My one gripe would be the price—it’s definitely an investment, but after using it for a while, I can see why it’s priced the way it is. One other thing, though: the battery life isn’t bad, but I wish it lasted a bit longer, especially when I get really into something. All in all, I’m really happy with the Meta Quest 3. It’s a great upgrade, and I’m excited to keep exploring all the new possibilities in VR and AR. It’s become something I actually look forward to using, which says a lot.

The Quest 3 is an amazing piece of technology. I wasn't wowed at first, but the additions detailed below helped me to optimize my device into a daily development tool and entertainment center that I am now wowed by every day. It's a device that feels like looking into the future, but as a modern device of the present, in reality it does have some limitations and hangups, which are luckily easy to fix and improve upon. At first impression, I can't lie that I was a bit underwhelmed; having already owned the original Oculus Rift and being a few gens behind, I was expecting some sort of immediate quantum leap forward. I was let down instantly by the resolution of the passthrough cams, as well as the Mixed Reality demo app in comparison to the original VR demo app ("First Encounters" was only kind of cool due to the current MR resolution restrictions and simple gameplay, it didn't feel like playing the future in the same way as the retro robot VHS demo for the older systems, but the new "First Hand" hand tracking demo app I played later on is very impressive). Where the mixed reality element shines is the quick passthrough to look around you, and maybe plop a screen up while doing something where you don't need to see any secondary screen around you in reality (other digital screens are often illegible in passthrough mode). The idea this will be worn while consistently doing many other things around the house or office every day is still a bit of a stretch imo: the MR elements are not quite there, they are simply a useful improvement and tool to test, not quite a selling point at the moment. This is the only thing that can't really be improved upon as a purchaser - yet. Also important to note was my initial consideration of whether I really needed the $500 minimum upgrade in my VR headset. How much of a difference did the new lenses actually make VERSUS the inconvenience of paying for, learning, and connecting this new wireless device to a computer for a stable PCVR experience? The Quest 3 as-is could barely go more than an hour in PCVR mode even when directly connected, let alone Airlink, and it didn't seem to offer any great advantage to PCVR itself, which seemed like a dealbreaker to me. After testing for a few days, at first I didn't feel like I truly needed the upgrade and considered returning the headset and keeping the simple Rift. However it took a few weeks to fully realize the immense potential and power of the device, and more importantly how to optimize my experience, and I am now consistently amazed and enamored by this product. So yes, I do believe it is worth the upgrade, on the merit of many aspects. First off, the battery life issue was easily fixed by simply using a 20k mAH portable power bank like ones used to charge phones on the go (I got the Anker 335 Power Bank, PowerCore 20k), just make sure it has at least 18W power output so the Quest can charge while in use, getting rid of the battery issues. I can't recommend shelling out for any device mounted battery at the moment due to claims the batteries often can't charge the power hungry Quest as it is being used, which is a must for extended play sessions. Cheap Power Bank did the trick for half the price, you can put it in a fanny pack to wear while playing if you want to cut corners while keeping up comfort and portability. Secondly, the comfort issues were fixed by buying the AMVR facial interface and headstrap which has thankfully finally been released and makes a massive difference in comfort of use. The original strap was like a cheap jock strap with two uncomfortably stiff rubber bands that dug into your head from all angles, which I did not want to wear for more than a half hour. In comparison with the Rift I would have marathon gaming sessions comfortably with no battery concerns, I am not one to complain about comfort and would usually suck it up, but I was surprised how uncomfortable the entire head mounting setup was, from the cloth facerest to all aspects of the default strap. I'm not sure if this was to cut corners with production costs or to scam people into buying peripheral products, but for $100 it was fully fixed and now feels like your head is under the car seat of a luxury automobile with the pleather cushioning, feels great. Finally, my main technical issue was with the Quest Link Cable and AirLink, where even when using an AMVR Link Cable with charging port, the resolution, battery life, and latency were all not up to my expectations. I have since bought a designated router with WiFi 6E (I got the TP-Link AXE5400, Archer AXE75), fixing all these issues and keeping the device wireless. By connecting the Quest 3 via AirLink using the routers 6GHz channel and setting the router to Access Point mode, the Quest's AirLink wireless connection is now amazing, with unnoticeable latency and incredible resolution. Note this was a decent hassle to get right, and took some toggling with the Oculus App, Oculus Tray Tool, Router Settings, and Quest 3 device settings to get exactly right, but now I can pop on the headset and jump right into my Remote Desktop mode or a Steam game. Upgrading the router was actually the most significant change that fully realized my hopes for the product, as the resolution and latency increase across all apps, and the ability to connect to PCVR with no strings attached while simultaneously charging the headset with a power bank for endless usage was a true game changer. P.S. - If your Remote Desktop opens to a blank black screen in AirLink, I recommend looking up the fix for Windows Settings in the Graphics settings in the Display Section, where you set the Oculus Server Desktop app to Battery Saving Mode, which switches it to use the Integrated Graphics instead of GPU, thereby somehow solving the issue for me and many others). These 3 additions/fixes completely unlocked the potential and optimized my experience with the Quest 3, and I am now able to wirelessly control my desktop with no latency in comfort without having to worry about my battery (just plug it into the power bank when low and keep playing while recharging, then charge the power bank up again after the Quest has recharged enough for endless play). I also bought a clip-on plastic protector for the front of the headset to protect the external cameras that I found for $10 on Amazon, and I may buy controller grips (unnecessary) and Quest-specific Prescription Lens inserts to further increase comfort and prevent scratching the Quest lenses with my glasses. Now that I have fixed most the foibles I had with it, I am having an absolute blast exploring the many emerging and existent apps in the VR/AR/MR spaces. The Quest's UI and general interactivity is interesting and inviting, and it is easy to launch apps and browse the web while customizing your workspace with screens and whatever else you want to set up your work/play space. In short, it was worth the trouble. Right away the Resident Evil 4 VR app had me strapped to the headset for 2 weeks in addicted awe, as a long time fan seeing this game replicated in VR around me as a standalone app was worth the price of admission alone. Every other app I've used from Asgard's Wrath to The Climb to Tribe DJ Academy has been an enthralling experience that I enthusiastically share with whoever is around me. It is also really cool to access your daily apps and websites in full 3D stereoscopic motion controlled VIRTUAL REALITY. What a time to be alive. With the addition of a linkable keyboard which is visible in your headset, daily remote desktop becomes a breeze to work with and increase enjoyable productivity, and even without a mouse+keyboard setup I still use the Remote Desktop and other productivity apps daily. App Developmment could use some process streamlining on Oculus' part, but the hardware is still brand new so developer tutorials specific to Quest 3 will hopefully be on their way soon, and you can piece together the steps for dev work in the meantime. So realistically, I would tentatively suggest to think of this device as an experimental standalone computer to be optimized through your own input, rather than a ready-to-go console at purchase, as it will take a lot of learning to get used to and to personalize the vanilla base product to your needs. Also expect to spend closer to $1k dollars to really make this a top of the line headset for practical purposes and also purchase all the apps/parts for a strong start, but regardless this is a high quality piece of technical equipment as well as a productivity amplifier and a standalone / auxiliary entertainment center. It really does make you feel like you are living in the future, and I would highly recommend to any techies, developers, gamers, or media enthusiasts out there who are willing to take the time to delve into the possibilities of this amazing machine. I would also still recommend it for more casual enjoyers, but mainly just to use as a standalone device as it is pretty straightforward and enjoyable to jump right into apps without all the trimmings, so someone less tech-savvy could conceivably still get a lot of use out of it, like a more advanced Kindle you gifted to your luddite Auntie who loves it once they get the hang of it and now plays apps on it all day in her free time. So to conclude, the Quest 3 is a technical marvel once set up properly. The screen resolution with wireless connection can be amazing (if it doesn't look incredibly crisp keep troubleshooting, it is not supposed to have the pixelated screen door effect as it did when I first started using it). The experience and comfort is now exactly where I want it to be, and overall I can't recommend this headset with the above changes enough. It is mind-blowing to see where VR is at the moment, and if you have the means, time, and interest, I would say take the plunge, get over the initial learning curve, and take a swim in the digital sea with the Quest 3.

I recently got the Meta Quest 3, and it's a serious game-changer for both VR and mixed reality. Pros: Mixed Reality: The ability to blend the virtual and real world is amazing, adding a whole new level of immersion.

Highly recommend it if you want to dive into the next generation of immersive experiences!

The Meta Quest 3 is a huge upgrade from the 2! The higher resolution, better lenses, smooth performance, and mixed reality features are great. It’s comfortable to wear, and the improved controllers feel great. Best Buy’s fast shipping and easy checkout made the purchase even better. Totally worth it!

I recently purchased the Meta Quest 3 (128GB) from the Savannah, GA store, and I have to say, this is an absolute game-changer in the world of VR! Key Highlights: ✅ Incredible Visuals & Performance – The higher resolution and improved refresh rate make everything feel more immersive. Whether exploring fantasy worlds or fine-tuning productivity apps, it’s buttery smooth. ✅ Mixed Reality Brilliance – The pass-through mode is crisp, making it easier to switch between reality and VR without feeling disconnected. This truly unlocks the "ultimate mixed reality experience" as promised! ✅ Batman: Arkham Shadow – The Perfect Bonus – As a lifelong Batman fan, this inclusion was an amazing surprise! The dark, atmospheric world of Gotham feels incredibly real, and it’s easily one of the best VR experiences I’ve had. ✅ Comfort & Design – Meta has nailed the ergonomics! The headset is lightweight and well-balanced, making long sessions enjoyable without discomfort. ✅ Worth the Price – At $534.99, it’s a solid investment for VR enthusiasts, and I believe it offers outstanding value compared to previous models.

Great headset for standalone VR games/apps. Overall its also pretty good for multitasking if you don't have multiple monitors and don't plan on getting more monitors, because even without any additional apps you can have 3 meta browser windows open side by side at once. 128gb is good enough if you don't plan on using too many apps/games at once and don't mind uninstalling/re-downloading apps, as the space will fill up pretty quickly if you are a heavy user. Things to keep in mind: Mixed Reality isn't as clear as shown in ads. Get a new strap for comfort. I recommend the Destek strap for quest 3 (no built in battery, but great comfort). If you want one with a battery I would recommend either Aubika, BoboVR, or Binbok. Get a battery pack that supports 9V 3A out. Get a cable that supports 30W PD. (So it charges faster than it uses power). Get a new facial interface (waiting for VR Cover to release theirs), or at the very least a facial interface cover to cover the default interface. Tip: make sure to setup a meta account and claim a ref from anywhere you find one before setting up your headset, to get credit for games. Note: In the picture is the 3rd party Destek headstrap on the quest 3.

This thing is amazing the new lenses are so good. No more screen door effect. Everything runs quick and snappy. It's pretty light weight. Very comfortable. I owned the quest 2 and this is so much better. The hand tracking is also infinitely better. Its a little pricey but cheaper than others.

A huge improvement in about every way for VR. Depending on price this may not be for everyone as you have extra cost to consider from batteries to getting a different strap as the stock one is awful, to consider the game library cost and such. For the price of a new console i think the quest 3 is a serious driver to finally show what Vr can do. Comfort is really improved with the physically size not shooting super far off my face

The Quest 3 128GB is amazing and was exactly what needed! The visuals are amazing and comfortability is fine. The staff were amazing in helping me select which version I wanted as well as helping me load my items. They took excellent care of me and I recommend the Quest 3 as well as this Best Buy to any potential customers!!!

For a standalone headset this is the best at its price. There are lots of things that you can do with this headset by itself. But it would open up more options when connecting to a computer. It’s thinner and more lightweight than the 2nd quest making it a lot more comfortable. My only complaint about this headset would be the head strap. I would get rid of that as soon as possible and get something more comfortable.

So fun! Big step up from the Quest 2 in terms of optics, graphical power, and comfort. Having those pancake senses really alleviate the issues of finding your eyes’ sweet spots every time you don the headset. Battery life is a little lackluster at 2-ish, but an USB C cable and 10000mAh power bank can extend that by several hours.

I returned my quest 2 about 6 months or so ago in anticipation for this headset and im not bummed about it at all. First off the screens/ lensed are clear clear clear I cant see a single pixel. (Also im using this soley for pcvr so im not sure on standalone performance) Quality isnt too bad , I feel like its a tad bit cheap feeling on some connecting parts like they’re not secure feeling. Pass through is pretty good but not duper amazing like they advertised as, its good but still distorted a bit.Comfort isnt too bad, i feel like its a step up from the quest 2 but for me when I tighten it up to my face it really makes it burn and itch so I have ti have it on loose till I buy an aftermarket i terface. Overall so good! Definitely recommend this one, but the price is a bit much honestly it should be more around $350-$400.

Love!! It’s much better than the quest 2. It’s light weight, not bulky, all around comfortable! Features are 10x better as well!

The Quest 3 is a substantial upgrade from the Quest 2. With a large increase to image quality, better engine to run games even faster, and an overall lighter system for great comfort, the Quest 3 is headset that’s hard to beat. I bought mine specifically to run games off of my PC from steam, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it runs games great on its own. You can only play Asgards Wrath 2 that way, and it runs great. So uncorded play is definitely a great option. The passthrough view of your environment is decent too. Overall, a great next upgrade for the VR enthusiast.

Amazing speed compared to the oculus 2. Thankful for BestBuy having the accessories I needed to go with it ! Graphics are noticeably better and the comfort too.

The quest 3 is miles ahead of the quest 2 as far as comfort settings and visibility. The mixed reality is amazing and you can do so many different tasks while also enjoying VR.

Good item excellent design, it is less bulky than the other headset and is more immersive The headset is adjustable and is comfortable even for glasses wearers like myself. It fit nicely and I was able to quickly adjust the headset to fit.

Improvment on the the already good Quest 2. Having used the quest 2 for a while now and now switching to the quest 3 it's a nice step forward. While there are some annoying things like the removal of chromecast support, and having to use an app to view the gameplay and them mirror your phone to the tv so others can see whats happening. Took this with for our family Christmas and everyone really enjoyed it , even those who have issues with motion sickness.
