[@mrdummy_nl]

I have not experienced WiFi problems, maybe i have good unit? I use Q3 too, and router is upgraded to recommended Asus due WiFi stability. Not all routers have good WiFi stability or can output many WiFi for long sessions for wireless use with Virtual Desktop.

[@dathyr1]

Well I went right for buying the Quest 3. Has more powerful processor, Better pancake lenses, Nice color passthrough, and playing my PCVR SIM racing games connected via USB link cable. All in all it has been a great upgrade from my Oculus Rift S. Only change I did is replace the original head strap with the BoboVR S3 Pro head strap. Besides better comfort, it provides me a battery which has larger capacity for playing even longer times with the Quest 3. Hand controllers are only used for selecting menus and work very good. I do not do action VR games which swing them around all over the place. I am always sitting down playing racing games. Thanks for your video. Take care.

[@OpenBorders4isengard]

You have to keep in mind that the headset has vignetting because of the pancake lenses, basically the rim of your vision appears to darken rather than stay the same brightness like on the Quest 2. It can be jarring for some people, and you’ll probably need to increase the brightness as well, the screen isn’t as bright as the quest 2. One of the benefits of the Q3 is that you can get half-body tracking if you install the beta version of virtual desktop. Essentially tracking down to your waste. Also the fov is a better, especially horizontally, and the resolution is higher/crisper.

[@Greg-re7tr]

My vignette is more noticeable on left edge, it's darker to the point where you always get that slight peripheral shadow following you as you turn. The right side edge seems acceptable, not bad. I might return or replace it.

[@cirmothe9]

I actually don't like that the glasses spacer is built in now. It introduces a weakpoint in the construction that's easy to break and if you have it tight up against your face, it doesn't hold the position you set it to very well. I always recommend getting lens inserts anyway. I think the quest+ subscription is kinda weak. It's just not a good value. Though I generally dislike subscription models anyway. The casting on the quest used to be much better but meta decided to remove official support for it so now it's really hamstrung. That aside I agree with the other points in the video. 👍

[@Mamiya645]

VR motion sickness hits me only when framedrops or general low framerates appear, otherwise I am next to immune. Gotta find a store to try this out at before I buy (in Sweden) so thank you for the video.

[@DrawSage]

The combination of the Quest 3's better performance, and wider viewing angle and "sweet spot" for things being in focus REALLY helped me out for nausea.

[@davidknightx]

Quest 2 user here. I'm waiting to see what Valve does for their next headset. While I do play games, the primary thing I'm doing in VR is world exploration. Between KZbin, Trip2VR, Wander, and Patreon supported 8k 180 3D videos, I've been to as many places as your typical wealthy person.

[@vaulttraveler]

All I know is the color passthrough is a MANDATORY FEATURE for every VR moving forward.

[@loganzrude]

I’ve never had any issue with the wifi on mine, perhaps a single batch issue.

[@ChaimS]

Can you please go into more details regarding viewing your PC screen on the headset? This is the biggest use case I see for this- being able to have a multi-monitor setup anywhere in my house with a wireless keyboard and mouse. How glitchy is it?

[@evolvingcreativity]

The quest 3 can be used by itself as a multi monitor Android Chrome laptop with 3 screens utilizing the meta browser , a Bluetooth Mac keyboard(allows you to see the keys) and a Bluetooth mouse. It is also possible to connect it to a laptop/deaktop(pc/Mac) and use either Virtual Desktop or Immersed (I forget how many virtual monitors you can have, 4-6 I think) app to have multiple virtual monitor screens.

[@MeganRoles]

Thank you so much im getting one for my birthday.

[@Mordakar]

Keeping my eye on the price. If it goes on a sale, then I'll probably take the plunge. The wifi thing is a little bothersome, but honestly, the pancake lenses and the removal of the sensor rings in the controllers are the things I'm most interested in. Having only a very small area where the image is clear is really, REALLY obnoxious, and I've bashed the controller rings against a wall I didn't know I was so close to. To their credit, they've held up amazingly well, but it'd be nice not to deal with them. All in all, I'm interested, but not $500 interested. Also, Walkabout mini-golf. I originally wanted the VR for things like zombie shooters and Blade and Sorcery, but I was absolutely not prepared for how many hours of my life I'd lose to Walkabout. This game doesn't seem to get a ton of a fanfare in the VR world, but I'm hopelessly addicted a year after my initial purchase. It doesn't hurt to have a core group of friends that play either. We do a game or two on Sunday's, and sometimes fill the room almost to it's capacity of 8, and have a ton of fun with it. Seriously, check that game out. It's wonderful.

[@user-xz5ww1gy8s]

It’s really good for watching movies but it does get a bit heavy and hot on your face after an hour or so also the battery is only 2-3 hours max so i would recommend a good projector or tv you could get for the same price

[@PaulAdler11]

[@bretts6127]

It feels like the broader expectation for VR has not been set properly. The quest is a very versatile and portable. gaming console. It games it does almost anything your phone does it keeps you active and all with a novel and immersive interface. It's great for pop in pop out sessions and media consumption.

[@chronomize]

I've been playing some of the same games I was already playing with VR mods to play with my friends who don't have headsets

[@nocturnal101ravenous6]

Personally I came from a RiftS with Occulus/Meta, but I also have a Valve Index - Knuckles Controllers are still the best hands down but the Quest 3 controllers are built like tanks and lightweight, Tracking is much much Better than the RiftS was despite having better placed Camera array. Honestly LCD/Lenses I prefer the Quest 3 the pancake lenses just make that much more a difference, you aren't getting the blacks that the Index has, Its really hard to compare the 2 as the Quest 3 relies on compression versus a native render from the GPU, I wish the Quest 3 had USBtype C with DP support for the USB jack it would honestly make such a difference and a more fair comparable comparison because some games just don't Compress well, although some apps support the AV1 codec which makes a huge difference if you are using NVidia 4000 series. Still the image quality is real nice. From the RIftS its a major step up, Index though is a bit more complicated, If you have the extra money to toss around I would say get the Quest 3 just because it has the ability to go anywhere. However I have a major feeling Valve is cooking in the kitchen again and basically we will get a superior standalone from Valve in the next couple years that will be a no compromises headset. Personally I think the speeds of Wifi 7 will be the key to wireless HMDs having a higher bandwidth allowing for less compression artifacting and image degradation while being more stable as well. I can see Virtualization in reverse using ARM chips to run X86/x64 applications at lower settings on the go, and probably Hybrid tracking. I personally Meta is going nowhere for the forseeable future, even if the company closed shop Valve would buy them in a heartbeat and transition everything to their branding and such.

As a quest 2 user, I will wait for the quest 4. It's I pretty good boost but not going to blow me away. I want to be amazed by standalone so I will wait 3 years.

[@NorthDevilll]

That's a long wait. Maybe rumored Quest 3 Lite is a good option, too. As a Quest 3 and 2 owner, I can also tell that just the lenses are a big change enough for me. I was so annoyed with the god rays on Quest 2 all the time, and now they are basically gone. There is another lens artifact instead, but it's much more tame.

[@OpenBorders4isengard]

Good idea. The quest 3 is basically just a slightly improved version of the quest 2. They need to add full body tracking, maybe having an external camera or two that you could set somewhere to get your legs tracked. Right now the Q3 is only capable of doing half-body tracking if you install the beta version of virtual desktop. The Quest 4 should have full body and eye/face tracking. I swear to god if they release the Quest 4 without those features and without an fov higher than 130, I’m going to buy a different brand.

[@jonymilanezz]

Screen door effect viewing movies on Quest 3? I thought that ONLY happened on quest2

[@gabrielvivo3394]

what’s screen door effect

[@Mandrake42]

Honestly I found I use my Quest 3 WAAAAAAAYYYYY more than I used the Quest 2. Its just more comfortable to wear. The Quest 2 sticks out the front much more and while it is technically lighter, that front loading makes it feel heavier. A good headstrap (I use the BoboVR M3 pro) and it is even better and I can wear it for hours. Plus the lovely pancake lenses and their huge sweet spot just means getting it clear and comfortable are WAY easier. Its just a vast improvement all around IMO and while I would look at the Quest 2 sometimes and end up going "Naw, its too much hassle to put on and get adjusted", with the Quest 3 its like "Oh yeah this is just easy on and off, time to jump into VR for a half hour or so". Honestly I have used it basically every single day since I got it and with Asgard's Wrath to getting yet another Quest 3 upgrade, that doesn't look like it will change anytime soon.

[@SeaWaves8]

I thought that this channel is about using a product for six months and giving information about the long term experience of using it. But that video feels like it's just a channel that reviews and posts videos 6 months later to compete with existing reviewers based on freshness. how many times did you use the quest 3 for the last six months or how many hours in total?

[@pedromunoz4093]

Yo!! I saw 👀 it today for $350 at the pan shop today… a little dirty and the lenses were a little scratched (easily fixed by an expert for cheap) they would have probably taken $300 + tax for it!! I already have one so I didn’t get it. $350+ tax is crazy. For a quest 3

[@EricJamesyo]

I’ve barely touched any of the games and experiences listed in the review. I use my headset practically everyday because of the social interactions in Horizon Worlds. Lots of great content that you can explore for free with groups of people. This wasn’t mentioned in the video, and I know there are a lot of people like me out there. ..btw I personally have not experienced my wi-fi disconnecting, and I’ve had my Q3 since its been released in October.

Well, in just a few months, the little quest elite strap broke on the back so I went with a new strap. And just yesterday when putting it on for the 12th time… The little plastic 2 mm bar connector that our straps pull through snapped off. Now the entire headset is useless. There is no way at all to use it Because a five cent part that was poorly designed and couldn’t withstand the strap going through it too many times snapped off. Quest is trying to make it seem like this is a user problem and I’m still under warranty trying to get this fixed. Look at that part on your headsets everybody it’s about the cheapest part you can see. That should be a metal bar. Like you guys, I’ve stuck a lot of money into accessories with this to not be able to use it at all!

[@Fredomnom]

i have a pico 4 and just hook it up to my pc. The Opics are litterally same with the quest 3 and if you only play pcvr its just a steal for 250$ - 320$. (i have it since one and a half months and i played 93 hours already, craaazyy)

[@mukeim]

The quest 3 has a better resolution and 120 hertz

[@Fredomnom]

@@mukeim Yeah but who cares about 120 hertz when you pay less than half and also have 90 on pico

[@Fredomnom]

@@mukeim and I tried both headsets (quest 3 at my oncles house) the Resolution does not make a big difference. Again: HALF THE PRICE

It is a device you use at home like a video game console. Thus, there is no purpose to a password.

[@MikevomMars]

Reading a phone via Passthrough? Naaah, not really 😐👎

[@VRnamek]

6 months later, still white strap meaning no use, guy finds he still has no VR legs (because no usage) so the only real use will still be chopping boxes in minigames... too bad

[@RabbitConfirmed]

Apple Vision Pro users will say literally anything to defend their purchase😭😭😭😂

[@HaydenMercado-nb6it]

I loved the quest 2 for watching netflix in bed laying down im really excited

[@theworldoffun8997]

Its much better than one certain VR headset

[@namelessfrce5842]

its cheaper but AVP is in a class all by itself

[@viktorianas]

Not VR, but spatial computing 😁

[@namelessfrce5842]

@@viktorianas Agreed

[@user-jwu8w8iwj]

i still have a quest 1

[@brandonwirtz2308]

No. Its not. I've had mine for about 6 months, and have used it a grand total of six times.

[@MonsieurKraken]

"That plus the weight of it" Dude it's 10 times more comfortable than the Apple Vision Pro

[@trashcan7140]

If it was 100$ cheaper it would be number 1

[@SweetKingTanner]

Apple headset is a Cybertruck Quest 3 is a Toyota Camry

Nice ❤ meta forever

[@PowerBombClub]

I’m buying it Second Hand for 220£

[@kingofkings89pl]

Hwy, try Fallout 4 VR on this.

[@GaussonGaming]

I'd add one more downside: Only white

[@norwegianzound]

They still have the nasty material on the head band. Gets filthy and can't be cleaned.

[@melissashell301]

Does it have gorilla tag?

[@6MonthsLater]

It does!

[@madswalter3417]

i bought the quest 2 right when the 3 came out... I feel scammed

[@The_Python_Turtle]

Quest 3 is the best 😊

[@jayr3053]

Only good for PCVR as the standalone Mobile games are very ugly & suck. Also, the battery is crap! I hope the next one is a lot better!

[@legoenginemechanic101]

Eventually they will slim it down so much to where it’s basically wearing glasses

[@TheB00Man]

I'll buy one when they fix the "You look like a dork playing it" glitch. 2:29

[@reginald5893]

Why care what you look like

[@reginald5893]

As long as your healthy

[@yosuzo]

I cant go back to my quest 2

[@TriMuXx]

Not too good of a review. Several holes in it actually. The gaping hole of not having used the Immersed app for productivity when mentioning Horizon and other apps is really bad.....like to the point of it may have helped the review have a more positive experience. Then there's the Mac issue. Macs are always limited so he should have AT LEAST tried it on a Windows PC for the sake of the review. I own Windows PCs and this guys review is now pointless for me as my experience would be totally different than his...INCLUDING the fact that some apps haven't made it to MacOS at all and they've been out for a very long time. He also doesn't mention accessories that also improve the experience with more battery life, etc. So it creates a super distorted, myopic, view of the Quest 3 after 6 months. The reviewer also seems to be very "PlayStation 5 owner" like seeing as he will buy an entire gaming console to play one game and one game only. Not even bothering to see what the console has to offer. Sorry, getting a thumbs down from me. Hopefully this comment helps for future "6 months later" reviews of tech products.

[@Plague_Rat778]

The meta return policy is a lot like Steams return policy lol

[@ItsMeNobody666]

I returned mine. Not even remotely worth what they’re charging. I don’t care how much h it costs to make it, that doesn’t make it a product that I need. My gaming systems & 75” OLED destroy this every single time and this was a hassle to use.

[@user-jr3ch2ed7n]

I like the meta quest it is realy cool

[@nape_soot_asd]

for me i think the quest 3 sucks ass for pcvr the only good thing is the quality might just be me

[@kunjunction1]

the only way you are going to get the sdr effect with the meta quest is if you stop and look for it. compared to the quest 2 its massive. also uplift desk sucks ass
