🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Quest 3 VR headset is an incremental but solid upgrade from its predecessor. Users appreciated its enhanced display and audio quality, better comfort due to a slimmer profile and improved center of gravity, and the potential of the AR functionalities. The high resolution, pancake lenses, higher refresh rate, and wider field of view were praised for creating a more immersive experience. However, some improvements were missing, such as OLED panels for true blacks and a wider field of vision. Battery life is underwhelming, and some users found the headset uncomfortable during extended use.

Pros

  • 📈 Improved display clarity for potential desktop replacement
  • 🔊 Enhanced audio with good 3D sound qualities
  • 🕹 Positive steps forward in AR potential
  • ✨ Higher resolution, refresh rate, and slightly improved field of view
  • 👓 Pancake lenses contribute to a clearer visual experience
  • ⚖ Thinner design with better weight distribution
  • 🎮 Upgraded controller tracking
  • 🌈 Color passthrough brings new AR experiences

Cons

  • 💸 Pricier than Quest 2 with substantial cost for accessories
  • 🔋 Short battery life, often less than two hours
  • 😣 Out-of-the-box comfort can be inadequate for some users
  • 👁️ Field of view improvements remain marginal
  • 📺 Absence of OLED screen limits true black rendering and increases screen glow
  • 🗣️ Microphone quality and Bluetooth latency not addressed
  • 🔄 Necessary substantial ecosystem for taking full advantage of processing power and AR

Should I Buy It?

If you are an enthusiast eager for the latest in VR tech and improved visual and audio experience, the Quest 3 could be a worthwhile investment, keeping in mind the additional cost for comfort accessories. However, if budget is a concern or you are satisfied with the current VR experience of the Quest 2, you might want to wait for further improvements or a price drop.


  • Solid upgrade from the Quest 2
Size: 128GB Style: Headset Only
There is no doubt this thing is superior to the Quest 2 in almost every way possible. Is it worth the increase in price to $499? Probably. The Quest 2 was sold at low margins to gain market share and if you compare this to the PSVR2 headset you could make a solid argument that it offers a lot more value. Pros - Display - this is the biggest improvement from the previous generation. I would have never contemplated using my Quest as a desktop replacement prior to using the Quest 3. I probably still wont, however, the fact that I even considered it is testament to the clarity this thing provides. Audio - another step up from the previous generation and probably the only other major improvement AR - so much potential. Still early stages so who knows how well this will be utilized. Cons Display While the display offers marked improvement there are a couple of things you should be aware of to keep your expectations in check. 1. Pancake lenses have a slightly annoying reflection effect in high contrast situations. If you're a perfectionist, it will piss you off. It's almost like the lenses look smudged in certain conditions but in fact it's just a reflection effect. 2. The screen door effect is almost gone but it is still slightly there. Much better but not quite gone. 3. I had hoped they would use OLED on Mini LED panels in this thing but unfortunately they didn't. Watching movies would be amazing with a panel that didn't have this much LCD glow, especially with the improved sharpness. Oh well, something for the Quest 4 to improve upon. 4. The FOV has barely improved. This thing would be insane if it didn't feel like you were looking through a large pair of binoculars. I'm not sure what it would take to improve the current FOV but it definitely prevents complete immersion. Comfort The headset is a little challenging to get seated on your face properly without generating uncomfortable pressure. There is also this new gap at the bottom of the nose region that I'm sure exists for a reason but it hurts immersion as you can see the floor. Ecosystem There isn't a lot to take advantage of the new processing power and AR features of the headset Passthrough There is no doubt that it is significantly better than the B&W grainy mess in the previous generation but it requires good lighting conditions to approach anything that you've seen in demo videos. The other thing to be aware of is that the headset records video in higher fidelity than it is able to pass back to the headset display in real time. I'm not sure why this is the case but I'm guessing there is some post processing going on to clean up the videos that the headset can't do in real time. ... show more

  • Awesome Headset With Some Puzzling Flaws
Size: 512GB Style: Headset Only
I love this headset for the most part. It's not quite the game changer the Quest 2 was, but it is still a solid generational improvement. I went with the 512GB one even though I feel fairly extorted having to choose between paying an extra $150 or having to deal with swapping out apps all the time due to very low drive space. Quest 2 was only $50 extra for 256GB which was great. By the time I get all the accessories to make this thing more comfortable I'll probably have a little over $800 into it. Compared to the about $450 I had for a fully decked out Quest 2 with lots of aftermarket accessories I'd say we are entitled to some fairly high expectations. Also on that note I will say that if you're tight on cash Quest 2 is still a great option because this doesn't really have very many must have features right now. Perhaps once the software catches up with the hardware, but I kind of expect the quest 4 to be around the corner from whenever that happens. I'm somewhat of an enthusiast and I've blown more money in stupider ways than this, so I'm on board. The Good -I like how it is thinner and sits with a better center of gravity. It makes a big difference with how it sits on your face and I'm sure when I get an after market headstrap it will be much more comfortable. -The higher resolution, the pancake lenses, the higher refresh rate, the wider field of view. These are all things that are easy to write off as minor, but then you realize how much of a difference these are making when you put a Quest 2 back on. Things look very nice and very clear. I'm sure it will only get better as more and more apps add updates to them. So far the updated apps I have tried are a very noticeable improvement. However I have to mention that since they didn't use OLED this time around I still notice the lack of true blacks and a fair amount of bloom in some circumstances. -The speakers sound pretty darn good. There are actually 4 this time around and they do a good job with 3d audio. -I like the feel of the new controllers and the tracking actually seems a little better during some of the more intense moments of some of the faster paced games like Pistol Whipped. -I'm a bigger fan of color passthrough and AR than I thought I would be. I would say that it's still in the early days of this tech though. Pass through is still producing a fairly low res image with lots of warping and distortion. You can't make out text on your computer monitor or phone unless you get extremely close, but it is clear enough to watch a show while you put together a puzzle in one of the apps that's been updated for AR like Puzzling Places and Cubism. The Bad -The two biggest things are probably how uncomfortable this is out of the box (I can't wear it for more than an hour before it starts to cause me pain that gets progressively worse to the point of being unbearable) and the battery lasts less than 2 hours most of the time. Sometimes even less than an hour and a half if you're using pass through. I personally don't mind this and even prefer it if it means a much lighter headset because I use BoboVRs halo headstrap with hot swappable battery. -They left out some improvements that seem odd to me because they wouldn't have cost much especially when you consider the substantial price increase from the Quest 2. The microphone still sounds pretty crappy which is odd considering how Meta seems to be pushing the social aspects of VR pretty hard, bluetooth headphones still have too much lag to use, and there isn't as much RAM as people were expecting which would have come in handy for a lot of things including more multitasking. Things I'm Looking Forward To From Metas Next Headset -Obviously a better mic, less bluetooth latency, more RAM. -Pretty much the stuff the Pro had that they left out here like OLED and face and eye tracking. ... show more
