Meta Quest 3 - Problems & Benefits after 1 Month

[@SjaakSchulteis]

I'm one of those who used the Quest 2 daily, and I replaced it by the Quest3. Its a big difference. To me the MR possibility is one of the best features. I do a lot of fitness and where possible I like it to do in MR.

[@muaz5142]

Would you recommend it?

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@muaz5142 I would for sure. It is by far the best headset I ever had. It even replaced my beamer for watching movies (thanks to pass through... I don't need to sit in the dark anymore to watch movies on a big screen and can see my surroundings).

[@EntityPog]

do you have the dreaded fog and glare?

[@toututu2993]

I respect companies trying to do vr business since it is pretty risky once is successful, it benefits both consumers and business.

[@hearmeout1966]

Meta is onto something with these VR gadgets. Apple is coming after them with their own VR which confirms this is the future.

[@toututu2993]

VR is obviously the future. The huge potential compared to anything else and is something that will beat keyboard and mouse once they improve tracking further

[@Hook0403]

​@toututu2993 it will never replace keyboard and mouse lmao. It will replace the screens that we use though but tactile buttons will always be better. Just like using joysticks with VR in a flight sim. It is most definitely still the future. I just believe people will be able to choose weather or not they want to use key board and mouse.

[@toututu2993]

@@Hook0403 Since when is Keyboard and Mouse is designed for shooting game that it is so perfect that nothing will ever replace it lol? Mouse where design to operate in folder clicking and draging not shooting.

[@SuperDestroyerFox]

@@toututu2993 But they still won’t replace games where you control a character doing very athletic things because either people will have to run around and work up quite a sweat or you have to just use a joystick which hurts immersion.

[@toututu2993]

@@SuperDestroyerFox It's possible just inside the virtual headset where you can control a 3d character in 3rd person but your head movement is the camera and so much more. You don't have to be the character you control and you don't have to do zillion time backflip in mid air yourself.

[@Streamz_N_Dreamz]

Im getting a lot of fps drops. I might return it

[@azkikrx1]

I have one of these and the blurry imagery you showed doesn't do it justice.

[@RakanA]

We have the quest 2, it’s insane it has some night vision pass through but it’s black n white. Does this one also have night vision?

[@estusflask982]

I have one and it is blurry like that, even more so.

[@giraffe912]

I’m upgrading to the Quest 3 from the Rift S. excited to finally be wireless. :)

[@ItsEond]

I used Side Quest for the Quest 3 and maxed out all the settings for it. And it looked great on the 3000 resolution with no Fixed Foveated Rendering, on bigger games it will have issues running this, but surprisingly smaller games have no issues, the games on 3000 resolution are a heck of a lot clearer then just using a Quest 3 without the Side Quest settings. But its still a tiny bit blurry even after all these buffs, which I was disappointed, because it felt like it was almost at the perfect resolution Clerity, I wish the Quest 3 was capable of being able to focus on the picture and make it clearer with even better lenses and triple the power, with a good headstrap. Then it would be a solid headset.

[@scupking]

I'm sure that will be fixed with quest 4. For that reason I'm sticking with my quest 2 with a good head strap until then.

Kids were so excited for this. Needed customer service help, and after 18 days of getting no-where, had to return both units. :( Meta customer service is the worst I've ever experienced.

[@Joric78]

The Quest Pro does 90hz or 72Hz, not 60hz. You're right that it can't be pushed to 120hz though.

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Oops, did I say 60 in the video? I know it goes to 90.

[@jacobmaz8157]

Did you burn it??

[@00SirSativa00]

Idk why they don’t make them with the quick tightening and loosening knobs like the aftermarket head straps. It’s not convenient to switch users quickly like for best saber

[@rediornaut7018]

That's my biggest gripe (besides battery life). I let some of my family/friends try my quest 3 over the holidays, and none of them could figure out how to put it on properly because of that headstrap. I just upgraded to the Aubika battery headstrap and it fixed those issues, but I can't believe I had to spend another $80 for something that should've come with the headset.

[@danyjacco4853]

That headset looks dirty

[@aforashish7]

Can we connect keyboard, PlayStation joystick?

Just bought one this morning , gonna get Skyrim and Elden Ring vr with mods

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Hope you have a powerful enough pc to do that.

[@LIBB0]

My quest 3 worked great for a bit the the first screen would move around and controllers would not connect so I looked for online help so I eventually factory reset now it still has the same 2 issues of first screen with the controllers that shows pushing the trigger button won't get off that, controllers wont function, only thing I've got right side to do is turn off headset once. Anyone have this issue? it worked fine was very babied since opening then just not the next day! Could this be a hardware issue or software issue or should I return it

[@slick1142]

Good luck trying to get it solved, my new quest 3 crapped out after 3 months and they sent me a refurbished unit and I still can't get it to work with my controllers that came with my new headset. I would not recommend dealing with meta..

[@JustCliff]

I just have one thing to say, how did you get marks on the headset already lol

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

I should have explained in the video but I didn't. Essentially, I was loading my wife's car (we were visiting her parents) and the car was very full. The Quest 3 was near the back and the trunk was open. When I moved something near the front, the Quest 3 fell out on some pavement. I was surprised by how bad it looked, but nothing is broken. oops

[@JustCliff]

@@MikeOBrienMedia Ah, that explains it.

[@NCRC10]

Can you make a video of you using the meta quest 3 as a computer

[@LordPicasoNL]

[@seriouslee247]

You already scuffed up your unit ??!! Buy a hard case if you can...totally worth it. I carved out a hole for the power cord so now the unit can charge and rest in a fully protected closed case. If you have small kids, cats or dogs believe me you don't want to leave it out on a kitchen table or desk charging. One mistake and that unit couldn't be destroyed. Even a beam of sunlight that creeps around the corner can DAMAGE your lenses beyond repair. Hard case from Best Buy is dope..it fits my BOBOVR strap, 4 batteries, Xbox controller, touch controllers with straps, cords and still has room for more accessories. Best part its modular foam.. you can customize the layout any time. I cant stand when cases make you place items the way they want because we always find more efficient and personal ways. More people need to try VR, it's a game changer thats going to take a well deserved seat next to gaming giants very soon !!!

[@MikeOBrienMedia]

Yeah, in summary: I was loading my wife's car (we were visiting her parents) and the car was very full. The Quest 3 was near the back and the trunk was open.

Great review as always, thank you Mike!

[@MacTX]

9:04 👀 Personally, the display will make or break AR/VR for me. It's got to be sharp and vibrant. For me to adopt it though; has to be well rounded, great display, enough processing power, decent ergonomics, solid OS, and less than $1,000.

[@Spruce1968]

I agree with all of this, but would add battery life to an area that needs a lot of improvement. They have GOT to find a way for the batteries to last longer between charges.

[@MacTX]

@@Spruce1968 I'm more forgiving with battery life because we really need a battery tech revolution, it's holding everything that uses a battery back. For the moment, any VR/AR use would strictly be within range of an outlet or a means to recharge or wall powered during use. Plus, I'd rather have the weight saving than an hour more of battery.

[@Spruce1968]

I totally agree about battery tech! I feel like much of the current tech revolution revolving around “cutting the cord”, that’s the next big leap. VR/AR, electric vehicles, etc.

[@_nom_]

Always add a battery pack anyway

[@johnplunkett2158]

what if i couldnt play for like 5 days and i basicly died after two on the quest 2

[@VRTekman]

The faceplate buttons have nothing to do with focus. They simply control the spacing between your face and the lenses for comfort and glasses. Ipd adjuster is the slider wheel underneath that people need to play with for perfect clarity for their personal ipd. Also yeah the $3500 4k per eye OLED from the vision pro will probably be better than the $499 headset 😂

[@ctako13]

Laptop video please.

[@itwasntmebro2669]

I really wish they did better on the face part and strap. I get shitty headaches every time on the q3 after as little as 30 mins. I shouldn't have to go buy a 3rd party shit to feel comfortable w no headaches out of box!

[@fredrickbambino]

these will keep getting smaller and smaller

[@scupking]

They need to drop the price of this to $399. I also agree that it needs to be sharper. We are getting close. Maybe quest 4 will be the one. I'm sure quest 4 will improve the resolution, have eye tracking and better battery life.

[@lostpockets2227]

its good phone but its good a couple of long term problems that i would like to see addressed when the next iteration of the pixel pro. right now i would say hold off on the pixel 8 pro until the problems of the pixel 8 are solved by the 9 as well as the wealth of the features that come with the 9 that the 8 is severely lacking.

Nice review ...from a non gaming channel about the non gaming aspect of the device. Which is actually useful and appreciated. lts always useful. Having said that..... In the end, ultimately for 90% of the user base of this, its a game console. Period. Thats why people get it. So all many of the gripes brought up here dont really apply all that much....
