A billion times better than the Quest 2.
UPDATE: Seven Months Later (Updated May 11)COMFORTThe Quest 2 was so unbearably painful and uncomfortable for me, no matter what I did, that I ended up returning it a day later.I was actually afraid that the Quest 3 wasn’t worth getting because it weighs the same as the Quest 2, even 12 grams more.But the Quest 3, with its default strap, is wonderful to wear. It doesn’t feel heavy at all. I like how the facial interface, headset weight, and straps feel. I can wear the Quest 3 for over half a day without feeling any discomfort. If a person is experiencing discomfort, it is because they didn’t adjust the straps properly.TIP – ADJUSTING STRAPSWhen adjusting the headset for the first time, the top strap should be adjusted first. It determines how high up or how low the headset will be on your head. And the most important adjustment are the headset arms because they determine how clear your vision will be and how comfortable the headset will be. You want to adjust the top strap and the interface until your eyes are centered in front of the lenses, and then adjust the angle of the headset arms until your vision is perfect. The back straps will determine how snug the headset will be on your head. I recommend making it loose and not snug, so long as the headset won’t slide around your face. For those who ever experience discomfort, it’s because the headset arms are not at a good angle which causes the pressure of the headset to be solely on the forehead which will go numb due to a lack of blood flow.PASSTHROUGH IS AWESOMEI originally didn’t care about passthrough and foolishly wished that they didn’t upgrade it. I thought that Meta could make the headset lighter if they didn’t add extra passthrough cameras. But the Quest 3 is not at all heavy and is very comfortable. Passthrough is important to me now. It let’s me be entertained and productive while also being fully aware of my surroundings. Passthrough is important for apps like Virtual Desktop and Reality Browser (I was using Immersed at one time, but in addition to it being a buggy and flawed mess, they purposely made it so that the app will not connect if your PC is connected to one or more external monitors, requiring you to physically unplug them.) And some games use passthrough.The Quest 3 passthrough isn’t crystal clear, but it is definitely good and leaps and bounds better than Quest 2’s. I have no complaints whatsoever and am really happy with it.LIGHT LEAKAGE ISN’T A PROBLEMThere is a small opening around the nose area. It’s very small and not noticeable. I have spent countless hours on the Quest 3 using all sorts of apps and playing all sorts of games, and that small opening has never been noticeable to me. In fact, it has been immensely useful. I can tilt my head towards the ceiling to peek through that opening at my computer screen if I need click on something but don’t want to take my headset off. Having that small opening lets me keep track of my surroundings so I don’t bump into furniture or stub my toe. If people seriously think that the small opening takes away from the immersion, they can get a cheap nose cap on Amazon.SMART GUARDIANAnother thing that I like about the Quest 3 is that there is a smart guardian. On the Quest 2, if you step outside a small circle, you get kicked out of the app that you were using and get told to create a new boundary which is very time consuming. On the Quest 3, I have my entire house as my boundary. Well, to be specific, I only drew the boundary in the rooms that I needed. So for me, the boundary including my living room, kitchen, bathroom, and hallways in between. It’s so great to be able to walk around the entire apartment and be able to continue using VR and AR with no interruptions.MEMORY SPACEI bought the 128 GB version. If there had been a 256 GB version, I would have bought that instead and it really bothers me that Meta did a crap move by not providing us with a 256 GB version at the time of release. I didn’t want to spend an extra $150 for the 512 GB version, and I still don’t wish that I could go back in time and get the 512 GB version instead. But when the Quest 4 comes out, I may splurge and get a 512 GB version. Out of the 128 GB, 18 GB is being used for System apps. But before Asgard’s Wrath 2 came out, I had around 30 apps and games installed and still had 51 GB available. It’s super fast and easy to uninstall and reinstall apps, so it’s easy to manage memory if I run out of room. Unfortunately Asgard’s Wrath 2 takes up 36 GB of memory, so I have less room now. But after installing Genotype and Green Hell to free up some space, I will have 16 GB free now. Most games only take around 4 GB or less.PRODUCTIVITYI like using Virtual Desktop and Reality Browser when I am doing exercises, indoor walking, or indoor biking. It’s cool that I can still see the virtual screens when I have my face buried in a yoga mat. The Quest 3 may end up being a life changer and game changer for me. It might help me be more productive and be a happier person in general.LYING DOWN MODEQuest 2 received the Lying Down mode in version 63.0. Quest 3 received it in version 64.0.QUEST 3 – WORTH THE PURCHASE, NOT EXPENSIVE IF YOU DON’T BUY UNNECESSARY THINGSThe Quest 3 is something that every single person on this planet should get if they can afford it. It cost me $499 plus tax and came to $533. I didn’t think that I would need any additional accessories, and five months later that is still true for me. I still don’t need a different headstrap or extra battery packs. I just use a 15 foot extension cord.I just can’t get over how great the Quest 3 is. I hated the Quest 2. I don’t know what other VR headsets are like, but the fact that most of them at least 200 grams heavier doesn’t appeal to me. But the Quest 3 is delightful.VR COVERS (UPDATE)I could live without VR covers, and five months later my interface still looks clean and new, after brushing it for a couple of minutes with a toothbrush. But I decided to splurge and buy some VR covers. Two VR covers on the VR Cover website would have cost me $61.20 (after a 10% discount code and $9 shipping). On Amazon, it costs $38.46 for two VR covers (after $7 shipping and $2.50 taxes, and free returns) . The VR covers are extremely well designed and fit the interface perfectly. The improvement in comfort is minimal, but it probably does make a tiny bit of difference. It would probably make a bigger difference if I were to sweat a lot.BATTERY LIFEI use the Quest 3 while it is plugged into an extension cord. On some apps and games, the battery level stays around the same. On other games and apps, there is a small drain while the Quest 3 is plugged in but I can play a very long time. Some games use a lot of battery, but I can play for a very long time and the battery will still have 20-40% left after I am exhausted. But I have never had the battery die on me before I finished my gaming session when the Quest 3 is plugged into an extension cord. I definitely do not suggest using the Quest 3 unplugged. Two hours goes by too fast, and that is two hours maximum. If you are using some demanding apps and games, especially with passthrough, the battery will probably only last 45-55 minutes.TIP – USE EXTENSION CORD INSTEAD OF BATTERY PACKSI just use an extension cord in which I plug in the Quest 3 wall charger and link cable that comes with the headset. The extension cord that I use is a 15 foot one that I bought seven years ago for $15 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000BYC1I) and it lets me go into every room in the house without unplugging anything. I just tuck the heavy extension cord in the front of my pants which just leaves the default Quest 3 link cable between my waist and headset. That default Quest 3 link cable is light and long enough, and I usually wrap it around my neck once so my controllers won’t get caught and snagged on the cord.APP – VIRTUAL DESKTOP (WIRELESS)Virtual Desktop. I prefer it over the Oculus Link. If you decide to use Virtual Desktop, you only need to buy the Quest version (don’t buy the Steam version), and then go to the computer browser Virtual Desktop website and download the free Streamer App for your PC. The free Virtual Desktop Streamer App is what streams your PCVR games to your Quest headset (so you can play them on your headset), wirelessly. By the way, wireless does not have any lag or loss of performance that I am aware of, so don’t think that you need a cable to connect your Quest 3 to your computer for PCVR gaming. I think that it is better to use a wireless connection. It has been advised to have a good WIFI router and to use an Ethernet Cable to connect your WIFI router to your PC. I did use an Ethernet Cable, but my router is a four year old ARRIS SURFboard SBG6900AC Docsis 3.0 16×4 Cable Modem/ Wi-Fi AC1900 Router that I bought for $106 and it worked well, so maybe you don’t need the best WIFI routers since my router isn’t that great.TIP – WIRELESS VS WIRED. SAVING MONEY.If you use Virtual Desktop, you won’t be using a link cable. And I absolutely loathe Oculus Link (Wired and Wireless), so there hasn’t been any need for me to use a link cable at all. I just use an extension cord to keep my battery charged and I use a wireless connection for virtual desktop apps like Virtual Desktop and PCVR games. An extension cord is probably better at keeping the Quest 3 charged than a link cable connected to a computer. The extension cord I bought only cost $15, but the 16 ft Quest Link cable costs $80.TIP – OCULUS LINK PROBLEMSOne thing about Oculus Link (Wireless) and Oculus Link (Wired) is that they might not work right unless you go to Go to Oculus Desktop App > Settings > Beta > and enable Public Test Channel and let the app update. I don’t use Oculus Link, but that is important to know so please make note of it. Some apps and games only work with Oculus Link, but I have only encountered one or two games that only worked with Oculus Link and they were both game that I did not care for and uninstalled.APP – USE VIRTUAL DESKTOP (NOT IMMERSED)I like using Virtual Desktop to access my computer screen. It’s easy to grab and move the window around, and it has Headlock so it can follow your head movements or even follow you as you walk around the house. And it works in passthrough mode. I also use Reality Browser, and I use Google Remote Desktop on one of the open browser windows. It is a much laggier experience than Virtual Desktop and not as clear, but this way I can get multiple windows. Reality Browser has a nice minimal interface, the windows are very easy to grab and move around, the screens can be seen from both sides of the window, and it works in passthrough mode. Immersed was a pain to use because the windows are too difficult to grab, move, and tilt around. And in addition to it being a buggy and flawed mess, the Immersed developers purposely made it so that the app will not connect if your PC is connected to one or more external monitors, requiring you to physically unplug them. Luckily Virtual Desktop will have multiple monitor support soon.GAMES – ZOMBIESSurvival Nation has a nice open world with quests, fishing, metal detecting, and climbing. And there is a co-op mode where you can share the open world with three other players.I also really like Project Terminus. It has a realistic and detailed world, and the atmosphere is great.I also have Arizona Sunshine, Propagation: Paradise Hotel, Resident Evil 4 (VR), and The Walking Dead: Saint and Sinners installed. These are okay games, but I like Survival Nation and Project Terminus better.GAMES – OTHERSI really liked the first Red Matter game. But it was short and didn’t have any replay value, so I could only enjoy it the one time. I played Red Matter 2, and I didn’t find interesting at all for the first half of the game but the second half was really good. I even felt like crying during the ending.I think that the Doom 3 VR experience is better than playing the PC version. It is more immersive and you can do more things like lean forward to peek around corners, move your flashlight in any direction you want, look around more freely at everything at every angle, and so on. There is a Prey (2006) VR too, but I was more interested in the Doom 3 VR.I played a little of Asgard’s Wrath 2. I never cared for Greek or Roman mythology or medieval stuff, but I gave it a try and sometimes enjoyed the immersion. Combat can be fun because I use my real arms to swing the weapons. But combat can also be frustrating. The enemies are always on top of me, and it is hard to put some distance between me and them while also throwing weapons at them, turning, and dodging. I actually dropped the game to play Survival Nation and Project Terminus instead.I did have Green Hell and Genotype installed, but I felt that they were both too boring, so I ended up uninstalling them.GAMES – FITNESSBeat Saber is amazing. A must have. Beat Saber has good beats, requires quick thinking and concentration, and is a good overall workout. If you want to score an S rank or higher on each Beat Saber song, you need to make wider arcs when slicing the cubes. I also recommend adjusting the floor height to what you want, and then stand i[ on a chair to adjust the player height. This will ensure that the floor stays level with your real life floor, but will make it easier to reach those low cubes or to duck.FitXR is good for boxing exercise, but I struggle too much with the hooks and uppercuts. They always register as misses.Dance Collider is also good. It makes my arms a bit tired though.Eleven Table Tennis. It’s not as much of a workout, but it is a physical activity.Izzy’s Beach Games. It’s not a workout, but it’s fun and there is great eye candy.APPS – CUSTOM LAUNCHERSLightning Launcher is great for organizing your games and it is free. You can easily create and rename groups, have certain groups be the default location for new apps, adjust the tile size of apps, change app banner images, change the app names, hide apps, and more. The UI and background looks very nice. I also like how we can disable the Horizon Feeds window from opening every time the headset is turned on or after exiting out of a VR app. An “Unable to Access” window pops up instead but it is much easier to close and much less annoying than the Horizon Feeds window. I originally installed Lightning Launcher because I had some apps from Unknown Sources and it was hard to get to them through Meta’s Library.Quest Games Optimizer AKA QGO ($10) lets you increase the resolution of games (not PCVR games) and apps. If you increase the resolution of Horizons Home, the environment and the mirror that you see when you first turn your Quest 3 headset on, there is a remarkable difference. Increasing the resolution and CPU/GPU usage will cause a faster battery drain, but for me that isn’t a problem because I always have my Quest 3 plugged into an extension cord.GAMES – PCVR GAMESI have a laptop with GTX 1650 and i5-9300H. A lot of PCVR games are unbearably laggy and completely unplayable for me. Some games are playable with some or minimum lag. I am not really happy with my PCVR experience, and I blame PCVR game developers, OVR Advanced Settings, and especially SteamVR for it. There is currently no app or plugin that will let me adjust the movement speed of how fast my character walks or runs. I get a lot of motion sickness in the Contagion VR game, so I wish that I could change the movement speed from 100% to around 10%. There is also currently no app or plugin that will let me change the snap rotation angle (on the thumbstick). OVR Advanced Settings only lets me set a custom snap rotation on controller buttons but not the thumbstick. The only thing that I use OVR Advanced Setting for is to do an emergency y-offset when my character glitches and falls through the floor. Really, SteamVR should have options to adjust all three a.) movement speed, b.) emergency y-offset, and c.) custom snap rotation. I also don’t like all the freaking popups that I get when SteamVR is running. The SteamVR window will pop open and cover my screen instead of starting minimized. It also takes up space on the taskbar instead of being limited to just the system tray. Sometimes, I even get a second SteamVR popup window letting me know that SteamVR has been updated, requiring me to click “dismiss” before it goes away. And if I have the SteamVR running on my laptop but my headset is not on, I get a “Headset Not Detected” popup that never goes away. So annoying! Starting SteamVR will also make five previously hidden SteamVR entries show up on my Steam Library even though I have them set to Hidden. SteamVR even messes up how my Steam Library looks like and will take every game from every game category and put them all in one category with the five SteamVR entries that I didn’t want to see. I can get my game categories back by going to a new page and then pressing back again, but the overall SteamVR experience sucks.
Kevin Whitley –
I wish I could rate it lower but… it’s still market king.
SETUP:Q3 + Elite Battery StrapCOMFORT – 4/10:To me, this is less comfortable than the Q2, despite being slightly better balanced (weight distribution is closer to face now). Namely, the interior plastic now makes contact with my face, which digs in, making it uncomfortable. This happens even at the furthest facial interface setting (for folks with glasses, which I don’t have)… and that comes at the price of worse FOV.LENSES – 10/10:Compared to the Q2, this is much clearer, with a much more forgiving sweet spot. In fact, it’s so wide that the IPD adjustment seems to have almost no effect, and we can pass between players without adjustment. That’s wild, and very different than our Q2 experience.COLORS – 7/10:It’s still an LCD, so expect washed out greys instead of blacks, muted colors, and no HDR.PASSTHROUGH – 7/10:It’s cool, but was massively overhyped. Do I prefer passthrough as my default view? You bet. It’s nice to have a sense of my surroundings while in menus. Is passthrough viable for things like reading texts and working at your computer? Heck no. It’s a grainy (albeit color) mess of compression artifacts and distortions. You’ll give yourself a migrate trying to read small text or even the keys on your keyboard. It’s worse if your keys are backlit, as the glow bloom adds to the artifact mess.I’ve had some issues with my Q3, namely in what seems like a loose lens or display panel or something. The lightest tap sends my vision stuttering – which has never happened in hundreds of hours of the previous Q2.CONTROLLERS/TRACKING – 9.5/10:This still has occlusion and line of sight issues, like the Q2, but otherwise it’s MASSIVELY improved. I’m a decently ranked beat saber player, and my scores significantly improved when switching to the Q3, despite using a claw grip (which could interfere with the LED signal from the tracker, since it doesn’t have the ring like before).PERFORMANCE/SPEED – 10/10:This is the most noticeable gain from the Q2 (aside from the usable passthrough), and you feel it everywhere. Bootup is faster, shutdown is faster, menus open faster, apps/games load much more quickly… and I assume this has something to do with why the controller tracking is so good – it likely can just handle the tracking math much faster, thanks to the improved compute.GAMES – N/A:I’ve basically given up on the Quest store at this point, mostly using this for SteamVR via Virtual Desktop (which continues to work great). I’m sure there are some good titles on there, and native apps do perform with much better latency than via wireless PCVR, but the visuals are just much worse in comparison. For instance, Beat Saber is smoother on native Quest, but looks like a blurry mess (with fewer visual effects) than on PCVR – not to mention the lack of mod support without jumping through even more hoops than we have to on PCVR.OVERALL – 9.5/10:It’s not perfect, but pretty close, and arguably hits the ideal mark based on its incredibly low price point. If Valve finally releases a new HMD, will I buy it? You bet. Until then, the convenience of the Q3/wireless trumps all other headsets IMO.

Otimo produto, acho que chegou a hora de quem quer entrar no mundo VR comprar um produto pra te da uma experiencia imersiva!
Elis Antonio –
El producto llegó a tiempo, aunque en mi caso eso fueron 9 dÃas en total, ojo porque el tiempo estimado de entrega cambia una vez que te confirman la compra por ser un producto vendido por Amazon Estados Unidos. Sin embargo vale la pena.Yo lo compré ligeramente más barato por una promoción, te recomiendo que busques el mejor precio ya que este producto comprado directamente en EEUU ronda los 8k MXN para 128gb y 10k para 512gb.En cuanto a la entrega todo bien, el producto llega en una caja normal de amazon con apenas dos bolsas de aire para proteger la caja de los quest3, sin embargo en mi caso llegó perfecto, la caja no tenÃa abolladuras, golpes ni nada por el estilo.El producto es el esperado, funciona perfecto, la baterÃa dura realmente muy poco pero eso es algo normal en estos dispositivos. Ahora, si los compras porque esperas aprovechar al máximo el passthrough y esperas la calidad de los AppleVision Pro, te comento que te desepcionará, las cámaras son terribles, la calidad del passthrough es mala mala mala, sin embargo la experiencia de realidad mixta aún asà vale mucho la pena. Te recomiendo revisar reseñas profesionales para saber si es el dispositivo adecuado para ti.Recomiendo el producto y la compra, amazon es bastante confiable. Habrá que esperar a que nada falle y no tenga que usar la garantÃa o la devolución. Por ahora llevo un par de dÃas con el dispositivo y estoy contento.
Mike’s Reviews –
My previous VR device was the original Oculus Rift. You had to use a few USB ports on your PC and setup a zone in one area that the two infrared sensors could see. The motion tracking wasn’t always great, and the headset fogged up quickly. I recently upgraded to the Quest 3 after all these years and wow, VR has come a long way.The passthrough allows me to go anywhere in my house and setup a massive boundary at any time. It’s not very clear, but it’s very useable. The videos you see posted of recordings from the headset are much more clear than the physical use of it. Performance wise, it’s incredible. I generally play games directly from the headset and they work flawlessly. The battery life isn’t great, it lasts a couple hours or so depending on what you’re doing, but to be honest I can only use it for max that long as my forehead starts to hurt. Both of these issues can be fixed with a 3rd party battery strap, however I have yet to set mine up. The lenses never fog up, regardless of how strenuous the game I’m playing might be. The audio is very cool, it comes from tiny speakers in the strap of the headset that are funneled towards your ears. The quality is actually quite good and it doesn’t disturb anyone around you much at all.As for gaming via Steamlink. I’ve only tried it via wireless as of now, and have a very good router, but it does seem to work well. I have had a couple instances while playing HL Alyx that the quality drops and the movement glitches but generally it’s been very playable.Overall, it’s a very worthy upgrade if you are a few generations back, no doubt. Looking back on it, the Quest 2 might have been more than enough for me, but truly the upgraded lenses and the passthrough feature has been excellent and frankly I use it more than I thought I would. Excellent device.

Bought this for my boyfriend and his reaction was worth 5 stars alone. He uses it every day and only issue we’ve had is that the tracking drifts sometimes but we work at sea and it seems to work perfectly when we’re docked. Bonus: It’s hilarious to watch him play, especially the boxing games, it’s giving “whyyyy I oughtta” 1920s boxer vibes and I’m thoroughly entertained.
