Meta Quest 3 512GB - Breakthrough Mixed Reality - Powerful Performance — Asgard’s Wrath 2 and Meta Quest + Bundle

I'll spare rewriting the tech specs as they're already in product description. I'll be sharing my experience with Meta Quest 3 purely as a gaming device. I have my games library on Steam. So naturally I've curated all my VR games there as well as it's hell a lot cost efficient and sensible compared to Meta's overpriced marketplace. Plus Steam seems to have a much wider range of much more competitive VR games in their library for very reasonable prices and absolute steal deals during Steam Sales. A- If you want to play through your pc wireless, you'll need to install Meta Quest link app and Steam VR on your pc. With these and your Quest 3 connected to Wifi, you can render the game on your pc, have it stream start to your headset. For best experience I upgraded to a Wifi 6 router, 5Ghz bandwidth support. B- If you want to play wired, it'll be great if can arrange a high quality ctype to ctype link cable and your pc supports ctype input then that's even better. The device has a run time of almost 2hrs in one charging based on what's your headset resolution, refresh rate and other settings. I've noticed if you're playing through your pc and let the audio come from your pc instead of inbuilt speakers in headset, you can save up on battery charge that goes in providing sound output otherwise. The games I've played on Quest 3 through Steam: 1- Beat Saber - Great game, extremely high replay value, great physical activity substitute. 2- Pistol Whip - Same as beat saber but you feel like John Wick! 3- Bonelab/Boneworks - Fun physics sandbox and shooting 4- I expect you to die - Comedic puzzle solving 5- Hitman World of Assassination - The latest Hitman Trilogy but in VR, definitely worth experiencing 6- Phasmophobia VR - Co-op Ghost Hunting in VR, so so much fun, absolutely must try! In my collective experience, the device functionality has been really great, battery life could be better and in terms of the type of games you can expect and should go for - While it's fun to think of playing a slowburn unfolding openworld like Skyrim or a similar game, you might find yourself realising that more faster paced games like Pistol Whip and Beat Saber feel the best experienced on this medium, any game that is slow, takes time, takes exploration and less action might make you feel bored and tired faster than the prior example as games like Pistol Whip and all are asking to HIIT workout and keep you on your toes and keeps pumping you with dopamine hits as you move your body around to hit the targets. In more exploration heavy games you might feel tired because body movement is less and with less physical movement the weight of the device hanging in front of your eyes and the feeling of feet ache since you've mostly been standing still not moving much will overcome the eagerness to explore the game quite fast. This might differ from person to person. But all in all, great device for playing games, I really hope they reiterate and improve its battery life further.

I am using Meta Quest 3 for the past few days and sharing my real experience. First of all, it is definitely value for money. One will not get disappointed with the overall VR experience. For VR movies, I feel the quality should improve a lot. For 2D flat movies, don’t expect OLED-like clarity or something equal to tablets/mobiles. 4K movies display is good, but if you purposely look for the pixels, you can see them clearly. Best way to enjoy is to ignore the pixels and focus on the image — then you will really enjoy the streaming. Streaming speed is fast, no complaints there. Coming to apps, VR apps are limited and most of them are paid/subscription-based. This device really suits tech and gadget lovers who know how to handle setup. If you are planning to gift someone, make sure they are technically capable, otherwise they will struggle even to handle. In-built headstrap is not good and keeps loosening, so you must buy a better strap separately. Battery life is very low (around 1.5 to 2 hrs), but the good part is you can watch while charging. Build quality is solid and you can comfortably use it even with spectacles. One downside I noticed is eye burning sensation even when wearing specs. Long usage may affect eye health, so better to limit the usage duration. Overall, a very good deal for first-time and casual VR users. But if you are expecting no-compromise video clarity especially for VR movies, then you should go for higher-end models.

The picture quality of the Meta Quest 3 is outstanding. I highly recommend using it with the Kiwi Comfort Head Strap for much better comfort. Watching Netflix and Amazon Prime feels almost like having a personal home theatre. The screen clarity and immersion are amazing. VR games are also excellent, but intense games can cause slight dizziness after 40–60 minutes. I don’t feel dizzy at all while watching movies or using social media—only with fully immersive games. The hand tracking is extremely accurate and makes the device very easy to use. It’s almost as good as Apple Vision Pro (Gen 1), which is impressive. Battery life is the main drawback. On maximum brightness, it can’t last a full 2–3 hour movie. I use 20,000 mAh power banks, keeping it connected while watching, and then it easily lasts all day. Overall: Fantastic device for movies, series, and VR gaming—just keep a power bank handy.

I’ve been using the Meta Quest 3 for a while and I’m extremely impressed. The pass-through quality is excellent, letting me interact with my room clearly without removing the headset. The displays are sharp, colors are vibrant, and the improved performance makes every game feel smooth. Hand tracking is much more reliable now, and the new controllers feel lighter and more accurate. The mixed reality apps are surprisingly useful and fun. Battery life is decent, but for longer sessions, an external power bank or a head strap with a battery pack is definitely required. The overall build quality feels premium, and the price is very reasonable compared to other high-end VR headsets in the market. Considering the hardware, features, and performance, Quest 3 offers incredible value. If you’re looking for a standalone VR headset that delivers top-tier VR and MR performance, the Meta Quest 3 is the best option right now.

The quest 3 is a generational upgrade from the quest 2. It seems that improved processing power makes the experience a lot smoother, and seamless. The colour cameras, and depth sensors allow for real, playable, and not janky mixed reality experiences. As reviewers have said, the quality of the cameras allows for you to use your phone in VR, and the passthrough experience is improved a lot. I was surprisingly disappointed by the improvement in quality in VR applications, the screen resolution though definitely improved, is still not “crisp” or sharp. Fine details are still obscured by slight grain or blur. Although the pancake lenses mean that the sweet spot is now dramatically better, clarity in fast paced games such as “thrill of the fight”, and “beat saber” is dramatically improved! I look forward to getting some cardio with this thing. The new facial interface is dramatically improved for wearers of glasses, the adjustable depth - combined with the recessed lens design, mean that your glasses are significantly less likely to scratch the lenses (hugely important; this especially can add up over time). And there is much more room to make it comfortable. The default strap truly still sucks for comfort, I had to resort to hacking together a cushion in order to make it comfortable while I wait for proper solutions to be released. As a VR/AR software dev, I can’t wait to get started with developing mixed reality applications with this!

Buy the Quest 3, DO NOT BUY THE QUEST 2. I still use my Quest 2 it's great but I don't care how cheap it is, the Quest 3 is that much better in both performance and visuals. Even games not updated still look and play smoother. The Quest 3 is good enough to get into VR gaming without a PC. The Quest 1 felt like a gimmick , the Quest 2 was good but still felt compromised but the Quest 3 (while obviously not as a good the average PCVR gaming pc) is able to get much closer and provide a PCVR like experience on newer games. Mixed reality was not something I was interested in but after trying it I think it's awesome, even if you consider it a gimmick it's very cool and fun tech. As someone who really only cared about PC based VR gaming I've been very impressed with the Quest 3. After going on a VR binge in 2019 and some of 2020 I've mostly only played VRChat now but because of the Quest 3 I started exploring VR games again trying out new and old games and even mixed reality stuff too. It's that good but I'd recommend an aftermarket headstrap. The included headstrap seems pretty bad but if you fiddle with it A LOT it can get comfy. Also I returned my 128GB model and bought the 512GB one. It should not cost that much more in price but honestly there's so much cool stuff and games are slowly getting bigger. If you have fast internet , you can buy the 128GB and be fine. There's tons of amateur and professional unboxing videos of the Quest 3 that you can look at if you want to see what it looks like. As for what it's like to buy and own it? It's amazing. Background info: I've been a computer based VR player since 2017 when I got the original Oculus Rift also known as the CV1 on a Black Friday sale. Since then I've bought an Index in 2020 with vive trackers for full body tracking, a Quest 1 as a backup headset, a Quest 2 and now a Quest 3. I have about 6000 hours in VR 5000 of that is in VRChat. Review: The Quest 3 is incredible. It's my first VR headset that uses pancake lens and it's beautiful. I dabbled in standalone gaming on my Quest 2 with games like Resident Evil 4 VR and Iron Man VR which were both great. Iron Man felt a little held back resolution wise with aggressive foveated rendering BUT THE Quest 3 fixes that mostly with higher resolution in literally everything. Everything from the interface to all old and new games feel snappy. I started playing mixed reality mini games like the Ghost Busters one and Synth Riders and the free built in Alien one and everything has been super cool. it's all surprisingly fun. Audio is also great, about as good as the Index. The whole thing feels more reliable though as my Index cable is annoying with how heavy and thick it is. I'm on my third cable in 3 years and still the Index needs to be unplugged sometimes to make it work. I've had no such problems on my Quest 2 and Quest 3. The only reason I still use my Index is for easy full body tracking in VRChat otherwise I play everything on my Quest 3.

As a vr it's one of the best in the market. But not durable -the gears can get damaged easily you need to put protection also the hand strap is not reliable can break at anytime -the inside lenses can get scratched you need to be very careful wh n cleaning them -the device can get hot needs a better cooling -spare parts are not easy to get or even not available

Produto incrivel, o preço realmente e bem alto, mas vale a pena, a qualidade e diversão que ele proporciona superam as espectativas. bateria e um ponto negativo, mas não compromete a diversão, facilmente contornavel por uma bateria externa.

La principal razón por la cual lo compré fue meramente por los juegos de entrenamiento como el Box, tiene un catalogo bestial para variar en ejercicios también hay de baile, tennis, de sables/espadas, etc. Para mi es la mejor opción de VR si te interesa hacer ejercicio, ya que tiene muy buen desempeño, no requieres de alguna computadora para poder correr los juegos de la tienda de Meta, no necesitas estar enchufado ya que la batería le dura aproximadamente 2 hrs +- dependiendo del uso. Ahora ademas de los entrenamientos, hay un sin fin de juegos que pueden interesar. Yo soy fan de tocar la batería y hay juegos de eso, incluso hasta simuladores donde bien pudieras tocar cualquier cosa en la batería VR. Tiene muchos usos, sin fin de aplicaciones ya que puedes incluso conectarlo a la PC y correr juegos de PCVR, lo cual la librería de apps se expande abismalmente. En fin, lo recomiendo y todavía aún mas si lo buscas para hacer ejercicio de una forma más divertida. Desde que lo tengo, no he dejado un día pasar sin usarlo.
