Impressed!

Originally I just wanted the flat pancakes and the lighter build because I was tired of having that heavy headset on my face. Then when I tried the mixed reality I was blown away!
Everybody that came to my house after that had to check this headset out LOL!

Way better than I ever expected!

After trying the PSVR2 and returning it (very uncomfortable and lacked creative apps) I decided to take a chance on the Meta Quest 3. My first Quest. I bought this to help me create AR environments for use with Adobe Aero and Google's Geolocation. I have to say I LOVE this device. It was easy to set up, is comfortable for me to wear (up to about 1 hour and then the back of my head hurts). The video quality is fantastic. The pass-through looks nothing like what I see in others… mine is always grainy even in the best lit environments (indoors, outdoors, etc) but it's acceptable for my use. I have yet to play any game with it, just using it for TiltBrush and GravitySketch and some very coo, 360° VR videos. I have no regrets with this purchase and recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade their previous version, or wants to get this as their first headset. It's a solid purchase.

The Quest 3 for a PCVr user
on November 29, 2023
Posted by: Patrick
from US
I have been a big fan of VR since I bought the quest 2 a couple years ago. I recently picked up the quest 3 and was greatly satisfied with most of the improvements made over the quest 2. I mostly use PCVr so I won't be mentioning the improved processor in the review.
Pros:
-Firstly, the pass through cameras, they aren't amazing but they are very clear and enough to read reasonably sized text or do other tasks without having to take of the headset.
-Another big improvement is the pancake lenses, they just work really well. I don't have to do a lot of adjusting every time I put on the headset and there is less glare and regular fog build up.
-A slight improvement but a good one is the screen resolution and increased FOV. I didn't really notice a huge difference but it definitely is a good change, especially because I use PcVR most of the time and am not limited by compute power (generally).
-A big improvement is how small and compact it is, It fits snuggly on my face and isn't as noticeable.
-The new head strap still feels awful but is not nearly as bad as the quest 2's. It allows you to tighten it better and distributes the weight more evenly compared to the previous. But you should absolutely still buy a 3rd party headset from BoBoVr or something.

Downsides:
-The battery life is not great. Using a link cable does not charge the headset and it tends to die in 2-3 hours.
-The headset also charges pretty slowly. This is not great as the battery life is already not very good.
-The head strap is AGAIN bad enough where you'll need to get an upgrade. While it is better, this one cuts more into my ears and is very annoying.

Improvements I would like to see:
-Eye tracking- This would be a great addition to increase visual fidelity and reduce needed processing power, take notes from the PSVr 2.
-OLED display- OLED displays are great for color and deep blacks, and this may help with the battery life as well.
-Charging the headset via link cable- This would be a huge improvement that would solve the battery life issue for me.

Overall, the quest 3 has been a big improvement over the quest 2 and is the most reasonable PCVr headset on the market. Im looking forward to see what meta cooks up next.

Improvement but could be better

This headset is a lot better than the previous model but there are some things such as the bad strap and padding that could be cheap improvements

Much better than Quest 2

The overall quality exceeds my expectations. The resolution and delay seems improved a lot compared with my old Quest 2. Even my first-time user friends were not feeling dizzy or uncomfortable . The interactions were easier. I really like the new feature that we could tap to switch between the virtual and real environments.
The only slight complaints I may have are: (1) The accessories like the strap are not compatible with those of my old Quest 2. I would prefer the accessaries to be compatible across more versions in the future, so I don't have to change everything with a new machine. (2) The wristbands on my controllers seem loose compared with my Quest 2.

My meta quest 2 was good, but the meta quest 3 with this new lens is just perfect, and the sound is incredible, i use it to watch movies, youtube...
But there is a problem with screenshot application, for exemple in Whatsapp i cant screenshot the conversation, the application in the screenshot is empty or transparent without any words or pictures (software problem ^^ )
But the quest 3 is just amazin 10/10+

Great device, but not for exercise games

I'm coming from having a PSVR1 and Index, two VR sets that utilize off-headset cameras. The quest 2 and 3 do not utilize off headset tracking.
I use my VR stuff to trick myself into having fun while exercising. Bear Saber, Pistol Whip, and others are amazing on what I'm used to. I switched to the Quest 3 after hearing my friends rave about the Quest 2 for years.
The quest 3 loses tracking too easily during exercise. If I swing slightly put of my field of view, the tracking swings wildly all over until my headset regains composure. This has rendered my Q3 some what of a paperweight until this is fixed. From reading online, a lot of people are having this issue in beat saved and people are blaming the new type of tracking.

Outmoded Looking Mobile Game Device
on November 26, 2023

Haven't got a compatible PC, so I'm limited to stand-alone games. These look like they're from 20 years ago in terms of both graphics and usually, gameplay. Very little survival/crafting, RPG unless it's really an action Roguelike, or strategy. Tried "Ad Aspera" and it had such bad draw distance it probably plays better on PC. Tried "Gunblazers" and it's like "Fortnite" but uglier and simpler. And so on. For me there's little reason to keep this unless I get a high-powered PC to go with it.
