    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    As someone who has been an avid gamer and tech enthusiast for years, I can confidently say that the Oculus Quest 3 is a game-changer in the world of VR. This headset is not just an upgrade; it’s a complete transformation of the virtual reality experience. If you’re on the fence about stepping into VR or upgrading from an older model, here’s why the Quest 3 should be your next purchase.

    Truly Immersive Experience | Meta Quest 3s

    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.

    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. The new Batman VR game is a blast to play and just cruising around a discovering new VR stuff to mess with that’s what I like best .

    My grandson loves playing it. It’s the best. I would buy it again. He’s 10 years old and he has no problems using it whatsoever. I just minimize the time that he uses it. He uses it maybe about hour hour and a half every day and would love to use it a lot more but on grandma and I watch how much she plays games but it’s the best game ever.

    The last time I tried VR was years ago before my purchase of the 3S. At the time of this review I'm not the avid gamer I use to be, and most of that gaming was on the PS3 & 4 consoles. My expectation going in considering the entry level price for the 3s was "an improvement" on my VR experiences of memory. I've played VR Tennis and FitXR several times since I got this headset and I've really enjoyed the experience of virtual table tennis with a friend as well as the very rewarding FitXR workouts (if your goal is to break a sweat, it'll get you there!) ...and I haven't even tried BeatSaber yet, which I hear is also a great title on the Quest. So, yeah, very happy with how much movement and fun I'm getting out of this new gadget for such a great price. I also made creature comfort upgrades (prescription lenses, the pro strap with extended battery) and have been very happy with the strap +battery upgrade
