Meta Quest 3S 256GB + 3S Breathable Facial Interface

Now, granted I have only had this for about 24 hours now, but WOW! I am overwhelmed with what I can do with this. The visuals are crisp, control is responsive, and it's easy to use and link all of your accounts.Want to go on a space walk on the ISS in 3D? Want to dive coral reefs? Wanna fly over Iceland? You can do it all! I can play my Xbox games, watch movies and shows on Amazon Prime. They have concerts at Red Rocks, informative nature shows, etc I honestly don't know why I waited so long to get one of these.The first friend that came over and tried it had it ordered for pickup before he left my house.Im loving this tech, and feels sturdy and works very well.As far as comfort, the stock strap is lacking in comfort and overall effectiveness, especially when logging extended time or using one of the fitness apps. I ordered an elite strap with an external battery pack and forehead fan to alleviate this issue.This item is worth every penny so far. I will update this review if anything changes.Stop reading and buy this. Treat yourself, you're worth it!Edit:Now that I've had 8t a few weeks, I'm still very happy with this purchase. Do yourself a favor and spend the $ to get yourself a nice halo headstrong. I purchased the BOBOVR S3 Pro and would highly recommend it as the stock strap is not the greatest. I use this headset everyday, so much you can do.

This all-in-one headset delivers smooth performance, vibrant visuals, and an engaging mixed reality experience. With 128GB of storage and the inclusion of Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-month Meta Quest+ trial, it’s a fantastic value. Comfortable, lightweight, and packed with features, it’s perfect for gaming, entertainment, and productivity. A great choice for beginners and VR enthusiasts alike!

Review from a professional VR dev with loads of different headsets.The Quest 3S is a great budget headset that can play games on par with the Quest 3 and most other current gen (late 2024) headsets. It provides similar color passthrough and is a solid platform with access to both the native Quest store for standalone play (no external PC required after setup) and (through the Meta Link app) SteamVR when linked to an appropriate computer. The build quality is fairly good, although the included head strap is likely worth an upgrade for most active apps and the glasses adjustment should be changed with care to avoid damaging the mechanism. Overall this is a great headset, but when compared to the Quest 3, the lenses in the 3S both limit the field of view and the in-focus viewing angles. This introduces some fiddliness in getting a perfect fit to see content as clearly as possible - these issues are much less pronounced in the Quest 3. If you've never used a Quest 3 then the difference isn't critical, but it is noticeable to those of us who use both frequently.The headset might not last more than a year or two for a number of reasons. Firstly, VR tech changes rapidly and has generally had large steps in quality and convenience every few years both in hardware and software. The headset might not be able to keep up with new technical requirements for fresh updates and apps after a few years. Meta has already stopped allowing app updates for Gen 1 Quests. Secondly, these devices are extremely sensitive to strong light sources such as the sun. When the lenses get direct rays from the sun into them they are likely to take some damage. Of the seven or so Quests I have had for work, which see an occasional trip to the car (once a month or so), all but the newest one have had at least one dead pixel (attributed to sun focusing through the lenses, but could be from something else). If you spend the money on a headset like this, it is likely worth getting a carrying case and not leaving it by windows.All-in-all this is a good headset on a solid platform. It is probably not a super long-term headset and could benefit from accessories such as a rigid head strap and protective storage case to get the most out of it. If you are new to VR or want something easy to use without breaking the bank, this is a relatively recommendable option. If you want the most out of a standalone headset, maybe look at the Quest 3 (or whatever the flagship is at the time).

First off... Good grief Amazon. I know you want to deliver packages early but why did you have to drop this off at 4 AM? Second. It comes with about 70$ of free games. I bought this so I could play Half-Life ALYX on steam but ended up playing a ton of Batman: Arkham Shadow and SUPERHOT: VR. Budget Cuts and Among Us were way better than I was expecting. And Secret Level in VR is awesome. I will say that the headset is uncomfortable sometimes. The strap comes loose and the lenses get blurry. And when it's tight enough to not get blurry it hurts your forehead. Great games and a Great system. I highly recommend this for Steam VR users who can't afford a Index or Vive. It's cheap and a great system. I don't care about the Meta verse though.

Bought this for my son and it’s used daily. He loves the vr and honestly for a non gamer myself it was pretty impressive on visuals. Gaming is so expensive but it was a good buy. He didn’t need outrageous storage and the storage on this is decent he hasn’t had to delete anything and still has room.

My son (11) saved up to buy this himself and it has been a hit!While I was not a big fan of the idea of him buying a screen he ties to his face, I was pleasantly surprised with the lever of activity this involves and the options it has.We set up for a user with glasses, and am glad that is an option. The ability to change focus is great, because older items similar to this that were tried previously did not have that ability and caused headaches quickly. This does not and can be comfortably played for an hour or more.While not a cheap item, the design is great, and comparing to other game systems is lower than most. Overall, a good value for a non- necessity of this caliber.I give 4 stars because of some technology glitches, mostly software related, and the lack of games. I am sure the game library will continue to grow, but I with there were more variety that is good for preteens to play and enjoy.There are a few free games that are fun, and overall the cost of games is reasonable.
