Review: Glad I upgraded - I previously owned the Quest 2 and a HP Reverb 2 headsets so I can compare the quest 3 to those. Because I already owned those headsets I was on the fence about spending money on the Quest 3 but I wish I bought it sooner, its a massive upgrade, much better than expected. First the screens, I thought the screens on my HP Reverb 2 were great, definitely way better in colors and clarity than the Quest 2. So I was expecting the Quest 3 to be similar to the HP Reverb 2, a nice upgrade to my portable vr sessions. However, what I didn't expect was the Quest 3 to blow my mind on how good of screens they have. The pancake lenses really are gorgious. Everything looks way clearer and natural. Its so good that it instantly ruined both my older headsets, they just look like a blurry mess now. Second is the PC VR experience, I got the HP Reverb 2 because I could never get the Quest 2 to run good on pc vr, it look alright wired, but wireless was hopeless. When I got the Quest 3 I was just going to use it for portable vr and keep the HP Reverb 2 for pc. But I tried the wireless connection with the Quest 3 just to see how it would do, and again my mind was blown. Not only was there no noticable drop in image quality, I didn't notice any latency either. I was able to stream games like Microsoft Flight Simulator from my pc while sitting on my couch, something I cant do with my HP Reverb 2 (cord isn't long enough). The Quest 3 essentially combines the best parts of both my old vr headsets and not only matches them, but beats them. Third, I didn't really expect much from the passthrough. Sure it's in color now but I rarely used the passthrough on my quest 2 so expected I wouldn't use it here either. But the pass through of the Quest 3 is really good. It's not seemless, you can still easily tell your looking through camera's, but its good enough that if I need to check a quick message on my phone, I can actually use my phone with the headset on. So nice to do small quick tasks without having to remove my headset. Overall the Quest 3 is a huge improvement over the Quest 2 and last generation of Desktop headsets. And its price is reasonable, even after the price jump. If you're using an older headset and want something that's an upgrade but not too expensive, the Quest 3 is it.
Review: A Leap Forward For Mixed Reality - 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 desertcart 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Impressed So Far
*by A***R on October 19, 2023*

First off, I'll say that i just got this and am still testing. But so far, I am super impressed. I own an original vive that I bought day 1 and then i got a reverb g2 that I have been using until the quest 3. Both if my previous headsets were corded, limited to one area of the house, and a pain to setup and use when I wanted to play. I was using light houses as well on the reverb g2 so that I could still use my better tracking vive wands. All of it was limiting and a pain which made me end up not playing. The Quest 3 was the solution I had been waiting for! Being able to do room setup in headset quick and easy is a dream come true. I was skeptical about the wireless capability for pcvr as well but I am blown away at how well it has worked so far. I've been able to play pcvr games anywhere in my house which is amazing. The pancake lenses are so much better than the fresnek lenses also. I wear glasses, and the quest 3 works well with my glasses out of the box, although I do want to get some lens inserts later. Everything seems very polished with a minimal amount of bugs. The AR pass through which it is somewhat grainy and not super clear, it's fun and works very well. The sound is pretty amazing also for the type do speakers it has.. Not enough bass in beatsaber and it can't compare to the g2 style of speakers but very impressive for what they are. Controllers feel nice and not cheap, track well, battery life on the controllers is good. The headset itself looks and feels pretty good. I think they should have put a nose flap on it because the only place I have lightleak is at the bottom of the nose area. The strap of course is everyone's gripe.. Yes, it isn't great.. But tbh it isn't as uncomfortable as what everyone keeps saying to me. It works but it just isn't the best. My one issue, aside from this being released by a company I don't like, is that they want to nickle and dime everyone for things that they should have included with the headset or to fix issues with the headset. The headset battery life is about 2 hours. That isn't long... So they sell an overpriced better elite headstrap with an extra battery to extend it to 4 hours I think. Fixes two issues by making you pay more money. Fortunately, there are plenty of aftermarket options for battery extenders and straps that are cheaper, so you don't have to spend more money on meta's overpriced accessories. I've seen reports of people getting headsets with dead pixels and there being quality control issues... So far I haven't noticed any dead pixels.. Im a stickler for that stuff cause my vive had a dead pixel and it always bothered me. I'll be checking closely to make sure the quest 3 is good. I was going to take one star off for meta nickle and diming but the headset is so good that I won't do that as of now. This may change later but it's simply the best, most versatile, most polished VR headset you can get right now for this price. I guess they kept the price down by giving a crappy strap, smaller battery, etc.
