Meta Quest 3 128GB - Breakthrough mixed reality - Powerful performance, White

VR gaming and home cinema are both incredible.This headset is a huge upgrade from the quest 2 (Q2) in terms of its visuals and comfort; greater clarity and less eyestrain. The reduction in eyestrain vs the Q2 is a huge feature for me, perhaps this is due to the proper inter-pupillary distance settings it has vs Q2. Text is easily readable and movies/video look really good on the cinema size screen.A head-strap like the Bobo vr m3 is an essential accessory as the stock one is very uncomfortable and you certainly wouldn't want to spend 2 hours plus to watch a movie with the stock head-strap but you can with a good replacement one.A proper head-strap is a game changer for comfort; with one you won't need to take the headset off because your face can't take it anymore, you just finish playing when you're bored or have other things to do (like with normal consoles) , I don't know why Meta don't stock decent head-straps as default like Sony and Valve.FYI I thought the elite head-strap wasn't much good either, defo not worth £70.Graphics are what you might expect of mobile gaming; think ps3 rather than ps5. The better chip vs Q2 hasn't really been put to much use at this point imo with only one Q3 exclusive and some OK graphics updates, hopefully in the future this will change.Haven't used MR much yet but I feel it could be quite good. The visual experience of passthrough is not that great imo (grainy) although obviously much better than the rubbish Q2 MR. Visual experience is good enough to do basic tasks like picking up objects and moving around but not typing or reading a monitor. There is not much warping and the latency is very low. Doesn't produce much eyestrain which is a game changer in usability however.Summary: actually useful VR/MR headset. The headset is cheaper than a massive TV and more useful. Gaming in VR is epic. Not much eyestrain, great clarity and is actually comfortable to wear with a decent 3rd party head-strap. VR/MR has come a long way indeed.

Updating this review now as fully tested out the Meta Quest 3.Updated review here.Can connect to pc vr games and steam vr with or without the link cable.As long as have wifi can connect without lead, however battery will reduce but if connect using link cable via Thunderbolt 4 connection on pc then will charge headset whilst playing games etc.Graphical display is so much crisper than previous quests etc and playing games varies depending on the game but some of the game si play show the graphics very well.Really impressive graphics thorughout even though some cheaper games have basic graphical display.Changed the headset band to elite aftermarket version as felt that the original headband was not sturdy enough.Microphone and headphone side of things are really good as even though build in, the headphones can be heard clearly and same with microphone speak being very clear.I have not come across any issues and hopefully won`t do.It is worth getting a link cable (Kuject Link Cable 5M £19.99), which cost me £16 and USB-C to USB-C. (you do not need one which also connects the origiall charger to the cable, just connect a USB-C to USB-C to Thunderbolt 4 port on pc)Original review below.Had the original Oculus Rift CV1 and decided that it was time to upgrade to the latest in VR.Meta Quest 3 came in a much smaller box than i thoguht it would but this does not have the seperate sensors like the old one.Setup was very easy and took less than 10 minutes as it was doing update for initial use and then connecting to network and setting up avatar.Once this was done, everything was easy to navigate and i also managed to get it to connect to my pc via the link cable i purchased which also charges it whilst in use.If you decide to connect to pc then use the Thunderbolt 4 port as will charge whilst in use.Love the design of the headset and the display is so much more defined as well as the pancake lenses.Viewing through the headset is a pleasure with the graphics looking absolutely amazing (compared to the original Oculus Rift)Might have cost more but worth every penny.Not tried games as of yet due to time but once i do, hopefully will update this review

I can’t say enough about how incredible this product is! From the moment I unboxed it, I was blown away by the sleek design and top-notch quality. Setup was an absolute breeze—I was up and running within minutes, and the instructions were super clear. It feels like it was built with care, and you can tell it’s made to last.The performance? Out of this world! It works so smoothly and seamlessly that it feels like magic. Every feature works exactly as advertised, and it even exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The app is flawless—never crashes, responds instantly, and makes controlling the product a total joy. Whether you’re a techie or a beginner, this thing just works.I’ve used plenty of similar products before, but this one blows them all out of the water. It’s so intuitive that even my non-tech-savvy friends could use it without any trouble. On top of that, the customer support was friendly and quick to respond to my questions (though, honestly, I didn’t need much help because it’s so well-designed).It’s rare to come across a product that does everything it promises—and more. It’s honestly a game-changer, and I can’t imagine life without it now.Pros:Flawless design and build qualityEasy and quick setupExceptional performanceApp works perfectlyFriendly and fast customer supportCons:Absolutely none!
