There's a serial number for the box itself, and they will ask for it to continue the process.
Excellent review as always! Was considering treating myself with one next payday, but I think I'll continue holding out to buy a Q3. Also why are so many devices getting rid of aux ports? Gah!
Awesome video! I already have a Quest 3 but I have some friends that are interested in VR and It's good to understand the differences so I can recommend them to people.
Brilliant video Jay. Very well explained. Its good to see that the 3s is a great headset, many people who buy this are going to be happy with their purchase
im definitely gonna get my hands on this, ive made a giant mistake when entering the vr world by purchasing a quest 1 LOL and when i searched up the quest 2 or 3 i was shocked of how much better they are, i will 100% be buying the quest 3s as it looks and sounds like it is very good for new vr players
No buy the quest 3. Save up that little extra, trust me it makes such a difference. Especially from the quest 1, it'll be like playing the PlayStation 1 and then upgrading to the 5.
My brother got a 3 and was really excited about it. He paid $500 plus with tax . I wanted to get one for me and my son we are both new to vr so got the 3s only paid $100 more for two and we are blown away!!
Hey Jay, just FYI, I used your affiliate link to purchase. I've been subbed for years and this was my way of giving back to you and your team. You guys & gals do a great job providing honest reviews while covering the broader trends in the industry. I got into VR in 2016 with a Vive and still own a Q1, Q2, and Q3. I decided to pick up the Q3 for the following reasons. First, I was going to buy Arkham Shadow ($50) anyways--so that brings the price down to $250. Second, I've already had to send in a Q3 controller for replacement and have long considered just buying a spare replacement set since I use my Quest daily--replacements cost $75 each or $150 for a pair--so that brings the price down to $100. Finally, using your affiliate link gave me $30 in store credit--that brings the cost for the spare headset down to $70. I'm not a young guy and have ample disposable income so I could buy something like a Pimax, but I'm just so happy with the Quest ecosystem that buying a 3S makes far more sense given my situation. Anyway, I just wanted to share my appreciation for your channel along with my reasoning for buying the 3S. It's a tremendous value and will make an excellent backup/loaner headset for me. If someone is just getting into VR, the 3S is a great product capable of doing everything my Quest 3 does but at a killer price.
i always say that stuff to myself when i buy stuff lol. "so it gives me a free game, minus that, it's on sale, minus that..." makes a big purchase seem a lot more stomachable.
@@joogled1839 Yeah, it's def. a way to justify buying something. But I got it and I'm honestly pretty happy with the 3S. I use my headsets so much that I actually wore out the battery on my Quest 2--it won't charge to 100% and a battery strap is only marginally helpful. The 3S won't replace my Q3, but it provides flexibility (and spare controllers). And I already had a spare Kiwi battery strap along with a spare charging dock & batteries for the controllers so my 3S is already tricked out & comfortable. The 3S is a really nice headset--for somebody like me (who uses VR for hours every day) it was a no-brainer at $299.
Being able to play in the dark seems pretty cool, but that's about the only feature I would like on Quest 3, and also you can just turn on the lights(in 99% of cases)
Gonna be picking up a Quest 3 very soon now that the price has dropped. I've been meaning to upgrade for a while, and I'm going from the original HTC Vive to the Q3 as my new dedicated PCVR headset. This is gonna be a huge jump for me, super excited.
In my opinion, if you are starting in the vr community yes, the 3s is going to be the best option, if you were like me which got a quest 2, and im experienced in the vr community and also have problems with my quest 2, you should go for the quest 3 unless you are on a budget
I cant wait to get mine ! its a HUGE upgrade compared to the improvised cardboard vr I had previously and I really cant wait to be able to actually enjoy games much better !
The difference to the regular 2: color for pass through, better processor (same processor as regular 3) 20$ cheaper and no rings on handles. To the 3: same processor, lower fov, the 3 has higher resolution and use pancake lens
I talk about that more in depth near the end of the video. I think you'll appreciate the upgrade, the mixed reality, and the access to all new games. It doesn't feel like quite the generational leap the 3 does but if you haven't had a 3 you won't be missing much either.
@@jaybratt Hey, this is a weird question, but can you tell me if the 3s breathable interface is compatible with the quest 2? it looks like the glasses spacer and the facial interface pins look the same from quest 2. if possible can we have a youtube short? thank you! :)
Excellent and thorough review (as always!) I think the most important point you made was if u are interested in VR, spend the extra money and get the Quest 3. Yes, the 3S is cheaper and it really is for a novice who just wants to experience VR. But for someone who wants to really enjoy the VR experience, the Quest 3 is the answer. I myself was this close getting the 3S, but decided to “splurge” so that the person who will be playing along with me will have the same great headset that I’m also using. VR can be an expensive hobby, might as well make it the best experience it can be (Quest 3). I also think we see how fantastic Jay’s reviews are….we all need to SUBSCRIBE to this great channel!!!!
I feel somewhat mixed about the 3S. It's good that the price point has come down. And yet I sense that some people will be disappointed once they realize what they're missing out on by not buying the Q3. I would never want to trade the optics of the 3 for those of the 2 again. Maybe somehow getting the 3 price down to 400$ would have been better?
3s is cheaper and just better. It has the same internals as the quest 3, or basically is more powerful than the 2. The quest 3s also has full color passthrough meaning you can see the real world in color, instead of black and white like the quest 2.
Hey jaybratt i am kind of getting confused my first headset was a quest 3 and now the 3s came out so should i keep quest 3 or quest 3s? I love ur content btw keep up the great work!❤
Probably not worth the £200 difference, but they do make everything look better. If you've never had the pancake lenses then I guess the quest 3s is the better choice, but the second you try pancake lenses, you won't be able to go back
@@Ben-bi7ep I won't lie, the 3S lenses hurt my eyes after long usage. I returned the 3S and went full in for the 3. After using it, my eyes feel fine. Maybe I'm not representative of others because the 3S truly is a good value, but I'm happy I got the 3.
The 3S would be a great first headset but I worry you'll always wish you had gone for the 3. The 3 is still the top and we've seen them getting cheaper so maybe this holiday you can score one for close to the price of the bigger 3S?
@@jaybratt yeah thats probably what i will do because i kinda want a higher resolution and pancake lenses (also the aux port) tho the price of the 3s is tempting. also thanks for putting a lot of work into your videos and posting quite consistently
I have some soundcore Aerofit pro headphones that work really well with my quest 3. If there is any latency I can't really tell. They're really comfortable they're open ear and they last all day. I will use them at work and then get off and connect them to my quest 3 and I will have plenty of battery left. So hopefully they will work with my quest 3S when it comes tomorrow.
Great review I have seen in other videos you give different takes on the aux cord where you mention that the audio coming from the quest stock speakers is higher than other solutions because the aux port is not strong enough to power the speakers? So bluetooth would be the go to solution?
Not really on standalone. The quest line is mobile vr gaming. Psvr1 has still higher graphics and more stable frame rate especially with a ps4 pro. See hitman 3 on quest 3 versus hitman 3 on psvr1 to get an idea !!
@@hardtoget4567 The PSVR specs say it's "960 x RGB x 1080" per eye and the Quest 3 says it's 2064 x 2208 per eye. I played Resident Evil 7 on PSVR. It was great but it was blurry compared the games I've seen on the quest.
Was initially gonna get a quest3s because it's a cheaper upgrade with some features I'd really get use out of like the dedicated pass through button and the apparently better low light gaming which is very nice given my quest two always screams at me about the lighting in my living room, but honestly this video is tipping me over into just saving up for the 512gb quest 3 or even the 128gb version second hand. Now I just need an in person demo of a quest 3 and see if pancake lenses are actually as good as everyone says
i hope you redo tests with the same software because there could have been lot of optimizations since the last time you tested that could help the headset last longer or maybe less.
3s is amazing with the s3 pro and normal facial interface. Still blind. So had to use a magnifier on my cell to look through the lenses to setup, but worth it.
My Quest 3 512GB arrives on Thursday. I already have the BOBO S3 Pro with the white cat ears waiting, lol. The next accessory I'm trying to figure out is a facial interface. Unfortunately, I can't get an Oblik because I don't have an iPhone to own/borrow, and the price is a bit too high for me. I was wondering if there are any other facial interfaces that work well with the Quest 3 and BOBO S3 Pro?
Just getting into VR, haven't purchased yet. I don't have a PC for VR, and don't plan on doing so. Looking at possibly purchasing the 3s or 3 as a standalone device for myself and the kids (part recreation, part education--earth quest etc). Is it worth buying now for a standalone device, and will the free/cheap apps with a few exclusive games be enough? Thanks. Wonderful content btw. All comments appreciated
If you need streaming services like Disney+ or Amazon Prime the quest 3 and 3s are bad choices... Because the only streaming services that works in watchable quality on meta VR headsets is Netflix, but just the display definitely the q3
My choice was easy. Back in October 2023, I had a Quest 1, so Meta was not going to support it anymore, and I knew what I would be getting with a Quest 2. I felt the Quest 3 made more sense because of what was said about the pancake lenses, and I knew the resolution was better and I would at least be doubling my memory of 64 GB on my Quest 1, if I got the 128 GB Quest 3. That's just comparing to the Quest 2 for everything else I said, and I had a Quest 1, so it was a no-brainer for me to get a Quest 3. Then my daughter tells me she is getting me the headset and feels I should have the 512 GB model, and I was like, wow! She didn't have to do that, but she knows I don't have much money. I have already used up 128 GB, so that was the right decision. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. By the way, that was a great unboxing of the Quest 3s, Jay. Thanks so much for sharing this information. Really love your content. Very helpful. Take care 😊❤
If the passthrough cameras are remotely as good as the Quest 3, I gotta disagree with you: that alone is worth the upgrade, especially if you're not so much a gamer but a tech enthusiast. I didn't think the Quest 3 was worth getting initially until I 1) got a more comfortable head strap and 2) really started leaning into the productivity and entertainment aspect. Just being able to bring windows with you around the room and have everything wherever you want it is what Apple was trying to sell but in way too expensive a package. I didn't realize it at first, but mixed reality productivity is the future. I almost never go into VR, honestly, except occasionally for a change of scenery, but otherwise, I love watching videos on this thing or doing work at my desk with big ole monitors. And now that you can have 7 windows at a time, it's kinda incredible. I wasn't a believer at first but as someone who has bought both of the other standalone Quests only for them to pick up dust within 2 weeks each time, this one I look forward to using every single day. Just makes work a whole lot more enjoyable and somehow less stressful. So if the passthrough is good, get the 3S - it's like night and day from the 2.
I've never been able to get any generation of Quest to drink more than 17w of charge at a time when measuring it, and has always needed at least 12-15w stable draw from any external puck source to keep stable passthrough (power charging, not visual) power trickling back in while using it. Which makes many USB pucks useless, like the Goal Zero flip 36 (10.5w out), but the Venture 35 delivers Q3 another 3 hours @ 18watts out
I bought a PSVR2 and I've been wondering if maybe I should have gotten a quest 3 but I don't think so because of the price drop for the higher storage one which wasn't a thing when I got the PS VR 2
depends on what you're using the psvr2 for. for pcvr its arguably better than the quest 3, and for the wired ps5 experience, it's got better graphics and an impressive game library. all its missing is mixed reality, those better lenses, and standalone gameplay. if you don't value those things, you made the right choice.
@@joogled1839 actually it has a very small game Library when compared to the quest. if only PlayStation would have supported it for psvr 1 games then its Library would compare to it
guy i have the money to buy the 3s as my first VR headset but everyone is talking about the fresnel lenses and how bad it is so do i wait a couple months to get the extra $200 to get a 3 or i just buy the 3s now?🤔
Its basically the same size as the quest 3, why are you not taking the face cushion part into consideration? that is part of the headset, as in you cant really use it without it.
From what I know the Pico 4 has pancake lenses and a better resolution. I don't think you should upgrade unless you really want access to the Quest exclusive games. If you're not interested in those or you're using it only for PCVR then you've got a better headset arguably.
Yes it would be, the quest 3s is really good. Its better than the quest 2, its cheaper and has better internals. Its not as good as the quest 3, but the quest 3 just has better resolution, lenses and it has some depth sensors on the front.
I have a question what if I buy the quest 3/3s from a local store in a country that isn’t supported by horizon worlds would i still get the batman game and quest + for free with it ? I know this is a weird and pretty specific question to ask but i want to know to decide if I’ll get one or not btw keep it up definitely top tear vr content
How much storage space do the games on quest usually take? I wonder if 128gb is enough. If the games are under 20gb then 128gb is fine because I usually don't play more than 4 games at the same time anyway

Can you test the bobovr M2 on the 3s? With adapters of coarse. Can the batteries keep up the charge or will the headset still drain like the 3
Does the m3 pro charge it?

With multiple cameras to create some optical parallax, depth sensors aren’t necessary with the right software.

@@hardtoget4567 The PSVR specs say it's "960 x RGB x 1080" per eye and the Quest 3 says it's 2064 x 2208 per eye. I played Resident Evil 7 on PSVR. It was great but it was blurry compared the games I've seen on the quest.
Was initially gonna get a quest3s because it's a cheaper upgrade with some features I'd really get use out of like the dedicated pass through button and the apparently better low light gaming which is very nice given my quest two always screams at me about the lighting in my living room, but honestly this video is tipping me over into just saving up for the 512gb quest 3 or even the 128gb version second hand. Now I just need an in person demo of a quest 3 and see if pancake lenses are actually as good as everyone says
i hope you redo tests with the same software because there could have been lot of optimizations since the last time you tested that could help the headset last longer or maybe less.
3s is amazing with the s3 pro and normal facial interface.
Still blind. So had to use a magnifier on my cell to look through the lenses to setup, but worth it.
My Quest 3 512GB arrives on Thursday. I already have the BOBO S3 Pro with the white cat ears waiting, lol. The next accessory I'm trying to figure out is a facial interface. Unfortunately, I can't get an Oblik because I don't have an iPhone to own/borrow, and the price is a bit too high for me. I was wondering if there are any other facial interfaces that work well with the Quest 3 and BOBO S3 Pro?
You could use no interface at all
the stock quest 3 interface is honestly fine. unless you NEED silicone/"leather" one, just keep the normal one.
what are the three ipd settings on the 3s?
58, 63, 68

Thank you for showing up so quick Niru!
I don't know english but it's cool
I’ve had a quest 1 since 2019, should i upgrade to the 3s😭
on the battery usage it says for standard
useage
So, buy the quest 3 NOT the 3s? I am confused, you didn’t say which one to buy instead of the 3S
Just getting into VR, haven't purchased yet. I don't have a PC for VR, and don't plan on doing so. Looking at possibly purchasing the 3s or 3 as a standalone device for myself and the kids (part recreation, part education--earth quest etc).
Is it worth buying now for a standalone device, and will the free/cheap apps with a few exclusive games be enough?
Thanks. Wonderful content btw. All comments appreciated
What is best for watching movies en tv shows most of the time.
Quest 3, 100%, it's enough to really enjoy TH-cam videos and 4k movies, just enough, i can't recommend less than that for movies
If you need streaming services like Disney+ or Amazon Prime the quest 3 and 3s are bad choices... Because the only streaming services that works in watchable quality on meta VR headsets is Netflix, but just the display definitely the q3
im still on the fence about buying one i had a valve index played it a lot but want something easier to use
Wouldn't a simple usb to audio adapter give headphone capabilities like it does on the Pico 4?
My choice was easy. Back in October 2023, I had a Quest 1, so Meta was not going to support it anymore, and I knew what I would be getting with a Quest 2. I felt the Quest 3 made more sense because of what was said about the pancake lenses, and I knew the resolution was better and I would at least be doubling my memory of 64 GB on my Quest 1, if I got the 128 GB Quest 3. That's just comparing to the Quest 2 for everything else I said, and I had a Quest 1, so it was a no-brainer for me to get a Quest 3. Then my daughter tells me she is getting me the headset and feels I should have the 512 GB model, and I was like, wow! She didn't have to do that, but she knows I don't have much money. I have already used up 128 GB, so that was the right decision. Hope I didn't confuse anyone. By the way, that was a great unboxing of the Quest 3s, Jay. Thanks so much for sharing this information. Really love your content. Very helpful. Take care 😊❤
You going to review the open air facegaurd?
I hope its worth it because mine arrives today
If the passthrough cameras are remotely as good as the Quest 3, I gotta disagree with you: that alone is worth the upgrade, especially if you're not so much a gamer but a tech enthusiast. I didn't think the Quest 3 was worth getting initially until I 1) got a more comfortable head strap and 2) really started leaning into the productivity and entertainment aspect. Just being able to bring windows with you around the room and have everything wherever you want it is what Apple was trying to sell but in way too expensive a package. I didn't realize it at first, but mixed reality productivity is the future. I almost never go into VR, honestly, except occasionally for a change of scenery, but otherwise, I love watching videos on this thing or doing work at my desk with big ole monitors. And now that you can have 7 windows at a time, it's kinda incredible. I wasn't a believer at first but as someone who has bought both of the other standalone Quests only for them to pick up dust within 2 weeks each time, this one I look forward to using every single day. Just makes work a whole lot more enjoyable and somehow less stressful. So if the passthrough is good, get the 3S - it's like night and day from the 2.
I am getting one in December
I've never been able to get any generation of Quest to drink more than 17w of charge at a time when measuring it, and has always needed at least 12-15w stable draw from any external puck source to keep stable passthrough (power charging, not visual) power trickling back in while using it. Which makes many USB pucks useless, like the Goal Zero flip 36 (10.5w out), but the Venture 35 delivers Q3 another 3 hours @ 18watts out
so for someone coming off of the totally dated PSVR1, how does the 3s feel in comparison?
Does it have Bluetooth
what is that tabletop game during 7:33
Demeo! One of my personal favorites and I'm not even a tabletop fan
do you have any suggested ir blasters for the quest 3
What if you have a quest 1 that doesnt work anymore
Great video
I bought a PSVR2 and I've been wondering if maybe I should have gotten a quest 3 but I don't think so because of the price drop for the higher storage one which wasn't a thing when I got the PS VR 2
depends on what you're using the psvr2 for. for pcvr its arguably better than the quest 3, and for the wired ps5 experience, it's got better graphics and an impressive game library. all its missing is mixed reality, those better lenses, and standalone gameplay. if you don't value those things, you made the right choice.
@@joogled1839 actually it has a very small game Library when compared to the quest. if only PlayStation would have supported it for psvr 1 games then its Library would compare to it
A quick question the quest 3s Will be able to play the quest 3 games that quest 2 cant
Im wishing for a vr for christmas, i dont know if my parents could afford an s3, how do i convince them?
I meant quest 3
ask for a quest 3s
Watched this on my 3s
guy i have the money to buy the 3s as my first VR headset but everyone is talking about the fresnel lenses and how bad it is so do i wait a couple months to get the extra $200 to get a 3 or i just buy the 3s now?🤔
You better save $499 for meta quest 3
Buy 3s because you will need to buy games and other stuff
Its basically the same size as the quest 3, why are you not taking the face cushion part into consideration? that is part of the headset, as in you cant really use it without it.
does it come fully charged?
I would turn it on and set it up and while it’s updating charge it
they often discharge in shipping and storage. my quest 3 came with 70% battery on the headset and 100% on the controllers.
Do I get the Batman game if i bought the q3 at launch last year???
No
META QUEST: the nintendo Wii of the future. and im 100% for it
and the 3s is meta's own wii u lol! no one knows what it is, who its for, what its for.
@@joogled1839 true
i like to know if the 3s work with steam vr games?
I've got pico 4
Do I need quest 3s?
Like would it be a gamechanger for me?
From what I know the Pico 4 has pancake lenses and a better resolution. I don't think you should upgrade unless you really want access to the Quest exclusive games. If you're not interested in those or you're using it only for PCVR then you've got a better headset arguably.
the pico's only real caveat is the bytedance surveillance and just a worse ecosystem and use of mixed reality.
That depends on the kind of games you play. If you want to play asgard's wrath 2, resist, and others yea but beyond it's few exclusives then no.
Is the Bluetooth problem hardware or software problem
would it be worth it if I upgraded from a quest 1?
Yes it would be, the quest 3s is really good. Its better than the quest 2, its cheaper and has better internals. Its not as good as the quest 3, but the quest 3 just has better resolution, lenses and it has some depth sensors on the front.
is a used quest 2 for $110 worth it for cheap 1st VR headset?
I have a question what if I buy the quest 3/3s from a local store in a country that isn’t supported by horizon worlds would i still get
the batman game and quest + for free with it ?
I know this is a weird and pretty specific question to ask but i want to know to decide if I’ll get one or not
btw keep it up definitely top tear vr content
How much storage space do the games on quest usually take? I wonder if 128gb is enough. If the games are under 20gb then 128gb is fine because I usually don't play more than 4 games at the same time anyway
Well 128 is just fine if you are the only one playing on the headset. But keep in mind games like asgard's wrath are like 34 gigs
I’m saving up for it
Sword storage! 😂
