   Mike Mitchell – 19 February 2025

   I own a Quest 2 and bought this as a gift for my father. I will DEFINITELY be getting myself one!
   As an owner of the Quest 2, I wasn’t too sure how much of an upgrade this would be, but let me tell you, this thing is a significant upgrade that I think is well worth the cost.The way the weight is distributed, this thing feels lighter on my face than the Quest 2 ever did, and while I’m probably still going to buy the BOBOVR strap replacement for the Quest 3 (like I did for my Quest 2), it’s not because I think the Quest 3 is uncomfortable to wear. On the contrary, this thing is definitely more comfortable out of the box than the Quest 2 was, so anyone on the fence about comfort can lay those worries to rest immediately.I’ll be honest: When this thing first arrived and I tried it on, I wasn’t wowed like I expected to be by some monumental leap in clarity, crispness, and screen resolution. No, it wasn’t until that same night when I used my own Quest 2 again that I was blown away by the difference. Is it a staggering difference? No, it’s not. Is it VERY obvious when comparing the new and the old side-by-side? You better believe it.The Quest 3 is more comfortable to wear, improves upon the Quest 2’s already impressive motion responsiveness (which is huge for folks who suffer from motion sickness if the scene they’re viewing doesn’t move *precisely* in lockstep with their head movements), has UNBELIEVABLE hand tracking capabilities (this thing makes the Quest 2 look like a knockoff product in that regard), offers a noticeable bump in clarity and responsiveness, and takes the rudimentary pass-through visibility system from the Quest 2 and instead gives you a true “I can see everything around me, in color, without visible skewing or synchronization issues” experience when you’re wearing the headset and need to be able to see the world around you.Heck, even the built-in speakers (which were already excellent in the Quest 2) got a really nice bump in terms of volume AND fidelity. I don’t know if this thing is *actually* louder than the Quest 2 (at max volume), or if it just *sounds* louder because the speakers are positioned more intelligently when you’re wearing the headset, but either way it’s yet another significant upgrade.Bottom-Line: The Quest 3 is truly an upgrade over the Quest 2 in every way. This is an absolute home run product for Meta that I think literally everyone who enjoys gaming at any level will enjoy.If you own a Quest 2 and are still in love with the thing, I wouldn’t call this a “must buy,” but I *can* guarantee that you’ll be significantly impressed by the upgrade should you choose to pull the trigger.As for anyone who’s never owned a VR headset and is on the fence about taking the plunge? I’ll just say this: Back when the Quest 2 was first released in 2020 I told anyone who would listen that right then was *the* time to get into VR. The Quest 3 just made 2020 me look foolish, because this thing is a slam dunk experience, and NOW is objectively the time to hop on the VR train. You will NOT be disappointed!

   A Leap Forward For Mixed Reality
   I owned the original Oculus Rift and upgraded to the Meta Quest 3. It was a big leap forward for me.— TRACKING —Gone are the days when you had to have fixed sensors in your room with a fixed play area. Now, you can bring this anywhere and play wirelessly, with or without a computer. Just the fact that I don’t need sensors is a win. The tech packed into this can detect your surrounding environments quickly and easily. It even tracks your hands and you can navigate with just your hands using gestures similar to an iPad/iPhone.— SCREEN —The screen is a big improvement over previous generations, including Meta’s Pro model. The colors are vibrant, the sharpness is perfect, and getting your head in the sweet spot is much easier. I advise using an app to measure your eye distance (like Eye Measure), and then you can adjust the lenses to suit your exact eye distance for optimum viewing comfort.— STORAGE —I got the 512GB because I was torn about their pricing model. I didn’t want to underdo it so I spent the extra money so I had more space, even if I didn’t know if I would need it. Frankly, 256GB would’ve been perfect for me personally at the moment.— WIRELESS PLAY —The games runs off the headset—if you buy games from the Meta Quest store. They do run more expensive and the sales are okay when they’re there. If you have been buying VR games on Steam, you can run them wirelessly with SteamVR as long as your computer’s graphics card is compatible. You can also physically connect a USB-C cable to a computer to play your games.— GAMES —Games feel like an elevated Nintendo 64 at the moment. The tech is there, we just need higher-quality textures and more AAA games when the masses start pouring in. Most games seem to have a stylized polygonal quality to them, and few games are going for a realistic look. Currently, I would say the quality of games is good enough for where the technology is at the moment in terms of the processing power that’s in the headset at this price point.One of the great things is Asgard’s Wrath II is included free with purchase and this is one of those games that takes full advantage of this headset’s capabilities. You also get a 6-month free trial of Quest+, which is two pre-selected curated games per month for as long as you’re a member; you lose those games when you cancel, but if you subscribe again your library will be there.— APPS —Besides games, you can use different apps with this. I use Virtual Desktop to access my 3D movie files on my computer, plus other media I have. I can also access my SteamVR games this way as well. Then there are media consumption apps like Amazon and Netflix. Explore and you’ll find useful things to install.— MIXED REALITY —This is part of the future of gaming, baby. Having a big play space at home combined with a mixed reality game is one of the most fun experiences to have. This is also similar tech in Apple’s Vision Pro. There are a couple of free games included, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds in this growing game category.— BATTERY —The battery lasts on average about two hours. For me, that’s great because I generally get a little dizzy before that period so the headset will die before I get fully nauseous. VR dizziness is a real thing and I advise that if you start feeling some type of way, to stop sooner rather than later. I would build up your brain’s tolerance to VR slowly. If you get dizzy, start timing how long it takes. Take a day off and try to add 10 minutes or so in the next session, until you can go longer.If you are one of the lucky few who are not affected by dizziness, you can plug this into a wall while playing and it will charge while you play. In theory, you could play non-stop with the right cable and charger.— SUMMARY —If you haven’t gotten into VR yet, try it out in the stores. If you like it, then definitely get the Meta Quest 3. If you’re unsure, you could wait for a price drop hopefully around Christmas of 2024.

   Mixed Reality is WOW!
   I can’t not give the Meta Quest 3 a 5 star review. Yes, the head strap is comes with is “meh” and you should definitely replace it ASAP (your welcome!) but aside from that minor annoyance, this device is truly incredible. Coming from a Gen 1 HTC Vive, which I eventually upgraded to a wireless solution later, the Meta Quest 3 still blows the Vive out of the water.Mixed Reality is the future. If this is what the Quest produces now, I can only imagine what we will have available in another 15 years. It’s astounding. If you are on the fence at a $500 price tag please drive down to Best Buy or another electronics store and try it out. You will be blown away.I also really like that via Virtual Desktop (best solution for now…) I can still play my Steam VR games that I used with the Vive. That was a big selling point was to not have to purchase them again. Some of which I don’t even think are available anymore.The device itself is sleek, light, and easy to handle. The controllers take a bit to get used to but soon become second nature. The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The games are fun. Some are incredibly fun. Watching movies and shows on a humongous screen is great. This is something that you want in your life. See ya’ll in the virtual world!

   Ever since the Oculus Rift was revealed, I knew I wanted to try VR, but unfortunately for me, I didn’t get into it until The Quest 2, which I got for Christmas in 2020.When I had that headset on and those controllers in my hands, I felt power!Since Canada was doing the tax break during Christmas of 2024, I felt like now was a good time to upgrade to the Quest 3. I am so glad I did.If you have a Quest 2, it’s not TOO huge of a leap, but what was added is really nice. The upgraded cameras for Mixed Reality are a nice addition and the controllers no longer have the rings around them, so they collide in your hands way less now.The resolution is higher too, now reaching 4K. I watched Across the Spiderverse on the headset on a large virtual screen while I lay in bed. The screen was crisp and it almost felt like I was at the theatre.If you have the money for it, I absolutely recommend the 3 over the 3S, but the 3S is nothing to scoff at either. The main changes are that the 3 has Pancake lenses and a dial for IPD. These 2 things alone are fantastic.When I first started setting up my Quest 3, It took me a moment to realize I had the headset on because everything was so much clearer than the Quest 2. 3S uses the same fresnel lenses that 2 used, which get the job done, but the pancake lenses are a huge improvement as there is much less blur if your eyes aren’t in the right spot. Instead, it just kind of dims at the edges of the lenses. There’s barely any blur at all on them.The IPD dial is so much better too as it will tell you how many millimetres you are at, instead of finagling with the lenses like in the 2 and 3S. This is great for people who’s IPD didn’t quite match the presets that the 2 and 3s have.These are 2 quality of life features I don’t want to lose any time soon.If you are wondering why I think it’s time to upgrade from 2 to 3, I’ll give you the main reason I upgraded: Batman! Because of course.Arkham Shadow is exclusive to the Quest 3 and it is so good. there are no shortcuts or limitations. It is a full Arkham game in VR and it works REALLY WELL.As time goes on, more VR games will come out that the Quest 2 can’t run, and some games that CAN run on Quest 2 have better graphics on the Quest 3 (Such as Walking Dead Saints and Sinners, and Red Matter 2).So now is a good time to upgrade if you can, even if it’s to the 3S.And if you don’t have a VR headset and are looking to try, now is DEFINITELY a good time to get into it. You will not be disappointed.

   Me compré otros straps con batería para durar más en stand alone, pero el problema es que te hacen dudar bastante, en cambio estos están hechos para ser muy ligeros y frescos, tanto que ni siquiera se sienten al usarlos. Están perfectos, aunque hubiese preferido que lanzaran el modelo con batería cuando los compré, pero no habían aún. Aún así me han durado y son muy cómodos. Los recomiendo si no puedes o no quieres su versión con batería y antes que comprar otras marcas que son calurosas e incómodas.
