Meta Quest 3s Review: I'm Blown Away

[@AndroidDigest]

Today only the 256GB version comes with a $75 gift card at Best Buy. For that price, I'd say get the 256GB version. Otherwise, the 128GB is great! (check links in the description)

The meta quest 3s is the first vr headset I ever owned. It was $300 when I purchased it. For someone who was on the fence when it came to vr, the price sold me on giving it a try. Im very happy with my purchase and now i realize I enjoy vr, and in a year or two, I will spend more on a decent vr headset. So basically I wouldn't have purchased a vr headset at all if it were only a $500 variant but at $300 I was willing to try.

[@AndroidDigest]

I feel that! It's a great way to test the waters. And it's still a very good headset!

[@Violent_Ed_1317]

Exactly what I did

[@Violent_Ed_1317]

45 years old school gamer since i was born. This has blown me away and will never go back to Gaming consoles ever again. Im hooked and cant believe how intuitive it is. Amazing

[@AndroidDigest]

Exactly!!!! I'm shocked. I first got started in VR with the Meta quest 3. I'm so happy it's so accessible to so many people

[@Violent_Ed_1317]

@@AndroidDigest I just cany believe the 120 refresh rate and how "good" most things work. The graphics will get there, But I can see a solid foundation

[@PeteMatheson]

Good review dude! No matter how many VR headsets I buy and use, and love, I can never use it for more than a few weeks before I realise I just like sitting down on my ass in the evenings :)

[@AndroidDigest]

🤣🤣 no doubt. It's definitely more for the physically active.

With the Meta Quest 3S I got a bad headache because of the lens,trying to find the right spot,adjust the headset.

[@AndroidDigest]

I will say that with any VR headset, it easily takes a week or so to adjust. Even with the metaquest 3, I was getting some headaches the first week or two. I had to adjust some settings and slowly work my way into it

[@AndreArkade]

Great review! I think I might look into the used market for a Meta Quest 3. The headphone jack is actually pretty important for me as I’m particular about the sound.

[@AndroidDigest]

That's EXACTLY what I did. After using the Quest 3s I just realized how invested I was and I bought the 3 used on Facebook. Easier to set it aside every once in awhile for $325 when it comes with an elite battery strap and charging case. There's some deals to be had out there

[@LRomanX]

I thinking about refurbished quest 3 from Amazon, but afraid that it will be without warranty

[@EndtimesSheppard747]

I could live with those lens so as long as there is a decent sweet spot, but that I.P.D. settings sucks. Yes, another bummer is the lower resolution with the same displays as the Quest 2

My favorite Android dude reviewing VR? Ok, I'm invested.

I'm honored to be considered a favorite!!!

[@staple_gun6367]

@@AndroidDigest Ah man, it's not even close. I just went back to look to when I first subscribed to you and you've been killing it for a minute. My first comment on your videos was on the Google Pixel 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S20 - My Pixel 4 Impressions in 2020. It was, "I usually don't sub to tech channels. I generally just look around for whatever I need when I want a tech video but I was flabbergasted to see that you only gave 4k subs for the quality of video that I just watched. Liked and subbed and looking forward to watching your channel grow." As someone who works in social media and marketing, it's been really cool to see you grow over time.

​@@staple_gun6367 thanks so much. If you check my Twitter I'm trying to redo my lighting in studio, my backdrop, and add vlogging in. This video was before I redid the lighting and backdrop. Trying to massively improve while still keeping things easy. Appreciate all the love 🤣. This video may not pop off because it's not my normal thing. Plus KZbin punishes you a little if you don't upload every week

[@asmrfan0304]

​@@AndroidDigest You're my favorite, too! I'm always looking for any new videos.

[@edinamckeown3161]

Just bought one for our 10 year old Grandson,for Christmas, hope he will like it ❤

[@AndroidDigest]

If he's never tried VR I'm sure he will. Just remember there's a way to set up parental controls on his account. There's a lot of games on VR that have full chat rooms and stuff like that. There's also ways you can set it up where they are required to "ask" for permission to download some things, or you can "lock" access to certain things and require a pin code. A lot of ways to protect the kiddos. Feel free to search for parental controls on the quest on KZbin if you're ever curious. I never covered it but I know there's a lot of things there to help

[@sacred-blade]

FINALLY, somebody is talking about the refurb quest 3 great vid 🙏

[@georgecostanza2695]

You can rig the ipd adjustment to sit in between the notches.

[@AndroidDigest]

That may be a way to help some people

[@plsdont5688]

Is it worth changing to 3S from Valve index? Index's resolution is lower and my right knuckle controller is broken and costs half of the 3S.

[@AndroidDigest]

Here's my take, for what it's worth. There are definitely some pros and cons. I know I'm not the typical VR enthusiast, but I just can't stand to always be plugged into the PC with a wire. And it's not the way I like to play. VR. The fact that you can get like 2 and 1/2 hours of battery life, and you can also use a cheap head strap replacement that comes with a battery pack, you could play wirelessly for hours and hours on here. That may mean you have to buy a few games that you already purchased. Either that, or you just always plug in a wire to play the games you already bought.. Yes, you can do it wirelessly, playing pc vr games, but you have to have a pretty good internet connection for that and it can degrade a little bit of the experience. So these are just some outside considerations, when you're thinking about playing your PC VR games. That's just something you have to keep in mind. And I will say the valve had a little bit of a higher refresh rate. But outside of that, yes, I would say the 3s is better headset. And you can play pcvr, but you can also play all the quest games. You only have to pay $300, you get Batman for free, if you buy it during the holiday season and use a referral, you get $60 in credit. And if you're desperate, even for the 256 GB version, I know some companies are offering a gift card right now if you purchase that specific version. Even if it's only like $30. So I definitely think it's a good way to go. Your biggest consideration will be, should I go all the way up to the Quest 3 now, or should I go for the 3s. If your budget is tight, you can always get a 3s, enjoy it, and sell it on Facebook for like 200 bucks down the line when you get the money to upgrade. But if you can afford it, the Quest 3 doesn't have this small sweet spot, and it's it's a little bit more enjoyable as far as the resolution and everything. So I would say it just depends. But I would definitely recommend picking up one of them

[@plsdont5688]

@@AndroidDigest Thank you for answering!!! I'd really want to just to feel that wireless experience without breaking a buck so I think of buying a 3S and while I haven't used a headset with pancake lenses I don't think that small sweet spot should be a huge problem, or even, immersion breaking... I have a strong 5G connection as well that should be enough for streaming PCVR games.

[@AndroidDigest]

I'd say it's a good start, and your worse case scenario is selling it for $200 or $150 down the line, after getting months and months out of it. So it's a good decision I think

[@elyas-tavakkoli]

omg I do want to buy it

[@toututu2993]

Buy the regular Quest 3 with upgrade strap and external battery as well as some paid decent games on it and you'll be continue using the device. I highly believe those who stop using Quest headset because they didn't really spend money on some decent games because I have a Quest 2 for 3 years and it still remain one of my most used gaming device and I have Nintendo Switch and gaming PC

[@AndroidDigest]

It goes both ways. The Quest 3 is a nice jump up. But I've seen plenty of people who have the Quest. 3 who still let it sit. I do enjoy the Quest 3 lenses a little bit better

[@MrRaychard123]

Got the meta quest 3 and decide to return it 2 days after getting one

[@AndroidDigest]

Well you definitely won't like this 🤣🤣

[@MrRaychard123]

@ will getting the bobovr or any similar brand make the quest comfortable? The only good use for me is to watch KZbin and other streaming shows

[@mikenkiller]

why did you do so?

[@kennylorentzon]

Thx for review!

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks for watching! Means a lot!

[@edinamckeown3161]

A lot more expensive in the uk😢

[@AndroidDigest]

Yeah, it's sad but a lot of things will be more expensive over there.
