This amazing headset will change everything!

So far, I am loving this headset and I believe it is the best one put out by Meta so far. Everything works right out of the box with a seamless setup. After the few mixed reality applications I have tried, I am ridiculously excited for the future in this area with MetaQ3. The headset design is nice and slim with the reduced optical stack caused by the pancake lenses. However, I do feel the headsets need to have reduced weight in the future for increased comfort during long gaming sessions. Overall, this is an amazing advancment in technology and I feel excited every time I look over at that beautiful little Meta Quest 3.

Amazing graphics compared to the Quest 2! Love the integrative mixed reality and I’m excited for what’s to come. The head strap is super comfortable and the battery life is terrible for someone that likes to play Population: One for a few hours at a time. I purchased the BINBOK external battery and the head strap that it came with was much more comfortable but the 8000 mAh*2 Battery Capacity is not enough to charge the headset faster than it drains. So that’s a little upsetting. For all that it’s worth though I’m loving my Quest 3 and highly recommend that everyone gets the upgrade or if you haven’t ever gotten into VR yet, you should try it. 👍👍

Ended up doing a factory reset after a couple of weeks of using the Quest 3. Supernatural kept glitching out and nothing would work. The factory reset fixed it and everything is going well now. Headset is much more comfortable than my Quest 1 and 2.

So far I am loving the headset, only issue is passthrough isn't as clear as others. I've tried different lighting to the same effect. But overall easy to use and certainly worth it

Lots of small updates, but missing one important 1

While I really appreciate the new headset and some of the choices that were made, it is all undermined with the continued use of an LCD over an OLED. I'm so very very disappointed and baffled that such a bad decision was made. With the introduction of augmented reality, having actual real blacks would have went a long way. On top of that so many of my favorite games are all made distractingly ugly by the lack of real blacks (Half Life Alyx, Saint And Sinners, Lies beneath, etc...) and everything feels like it has a white haze over it. I can't help stop but think while I'm playing what could have been and am so mad I have to wait for yet another generation for what should have been part of this one.

Not the Next BIG thing

So I've owned the Quest 1 and Quest 2 since Launch Day for both headsets and each time those headsets came out they were revolutionary. The Quest 2 felt like an actual upgrade to the Quest 1 and felt like an actual justified purchase. The Quest 3 however, is very underwhelming and almost false advertisement. If you already own a Quest 2 I would highly recommend holding off on upgrading for awhile. The Quest 3 has no new games for the system. There were no Launch Titles. Not many developers have made Quest 3 enhanced versions of the product yet so all the game you play you are just playing the Quest 2 version of them. Which is disappointing and odd. The headset IS smaller than Quest 2 BUT not really... it just appears smaller. The battery life has not improved. In fact it's worse if you decide to use the headset as intended. Sure you can now have the option to change between performance and battery consumption but.... then you are just playing on a Quest 2. The stock strap is terrible. I hate harping on it Because everyone has but it puts pressure on the back of your head that causes headaches and rubs on your ears if you don't have it on correctly. The headset should not have ever came with the elastic band strap imo. Especially for the price Meta is selling the headset at. The Pass-through..... is NOT what was advertised. See when you watch videos of the new color pass through it looks amazing, text is super clear, and it actually looks like MR. Very cool right? Well that's because it's a recording. What you actually SEE is MUCH MUCH different. It's not bad per say, it's definitely better than any other color Pass-through on the market but even in "perfect lighting conditions" it's severely underwhelming and grainy. Colors are not true to real life and warping is still present. The biggest issue is you were told you could read text on your phone or do tasks on your computer all while having the headset on and you CAN... but you CANT... in order to read your phone it has to be a specific distance from your headset, you have to turn your brightness almost all the way down on the phone and then still be in great lighting conditions to read it clearly. On a PC, it's essentially the same but the way they get around this is by giving you a app that will mirror your desktop PC screen. You can then overlay the screen on your monitor and it works pretty well but again not what was advertised. I'm not sure who this headset is for. It's almost as if it was rushed and unfinished. No new games, not really any new to Quest 3 features, the Pass-through is half baked, and there is battery issues with the solution being just to run the Quest 3 in Quest 2 mode. I will say the controllers track just as good as ever and the battery life on them is about the same as Quest 2. The sound seems just as good as Quest 2 if not a tiny bit better and the lenses have greatly improved. I will say that the best part of the headset is the lenses. Extremely easy to dial in a clear image now thanks to bringing back the stepless IPD slider adjustment wheel and the pancake lenses are much better than the fresnel lenses. God rays are gone, halo rings are gone and it's still really hard to look for the screen door effect. So good job on that. Hand tracking was supposed to be improved but it doesn't seem to be any better than the current version of Quest 2s hand tracking. All in all I'm a little confused and disappointed in this headset. I'll never go back to Quest 2 or 1 but I'm just kind of stuck here waiting till after the new year hoping things will get better. I'm sure updates are coming and will make small improvements but even still until Meta shuts down compatibility for Quest 2 I'd say don't waste your money unfortunately.

Quest review 3

Pro: Best headset so far from your line up. Use the Riff, RiffS, Quest Pro. Great pass through as you well know and the audio is much improved.
Con: The strap is terrible. So much work on the tech in the HMD, but skipped to strap. You ought to look into the straps they use for cpap machines.
I have gone through 4 straps for my Quest 2. And still it is not that great.
The Riff on the other hand was super nice. At least in confort.
