I took my time before dropping this review because I wanted to thoroughly experience everything the Quest 3 offers. And let me tell you, it's beyond impressive. The new pancake lenses set a new standard for VR, with graphics that make the Quest 2 seem almost quaint in comparison. Initially, the comfort might need a bit of personalization with an upgraded head strap and facial interface, but once dialed in, it's perfect. The new controllers are a game-changer, making every move feel more natural. And the lightness of the headset makes it alot easier to wear for hours of immersive gameplay or training without any discomfort. The Quest 3 is truly a monumental leap forward. Looking forward to the future updates. Definitely worth the wait!
To preface this I had a quest 2 for around a year and a half. It was never super comfortable even with aftermarket headbands. The ipd setting were terrible. With the quest 3 every issue I had is gone and the pancake lenses with glasses inserts are such a relief. I bought the elite strap with battery pack and although some folks are having issues with it I have not. It's worth getting just for the comfort as the included headstrap is serviceable but it does put all the pressure directly on your cheeks. I would easily purchase this again for PC VR or standalone.
More comfortable and better vision than the quest 2. Works for a pid of 55 thanks to wide visual sweet spot. Pixels barely visible in vr. Passthrough can very good but should have equivalent resolution to vr display for true immersion. Experiences in MR like learning piano and playing tabletop games is a step forward. The quality of visuals is great. The better processor leads to much better WiFi 6 streaming without glitching. Very happy with my purchase. Great value. Hands down the best headset overall. Please keep the PC Vr steam Vr compatibility.
Far and away the best overall VR headset I've tried yet. Image quality is top notch and the new passthrough is amazing. For 99% of what I do in VR, including using it to connect to my PC and do pcvr, it's simply the best (and ive had six different headsets since buying my first oculus dev kit).
The only downsides are fairly minor. First, the battery life isn't great. It can be improved by buying a separate strap, but that feels like something that should have been included. Second, with this display type, you don't get true blacks as the screen is always on. This is especially noticeable when I play something like Elite Dangerous where you are looking out into space. Lastly, the headset seems more prone to fogging up than other headsets I have used.
Even with these, the downsides are fairly minor, and the upsides are huge. Go out and buy one of these. Not only do you get a killer headset, but it incentives meta to keep pouring money into VR.
I was very hyped to get a true next-gen Quest console and the Quest 3 does not disappoint. The resolution and load times are way better than the Quest 2, and it won’t be long now before we get new games or new updates for current games that will take full advantage of the new hardware. The little bit I’ve seen already has be psyched for the future.
