- Meta Quest 3 reviewed by Eric Song.
"The Quest 3 continues Meta’s legacy of offering a cost-effective headset that doesn’t require an expensive gaming PC, but can still benefit from one if you have it. That’s a unique feature that sets it apart from almost every other VR headset out there, other than its own predecessors. The Quest 3 goes even further by offering us a ticket to mixed-reality gaming with a full-color passthrough mode that’s sharp enough to read things in the world around you, the lightest and most precisely tracked controllers available, and more. The sheer amount of upgrades are well worth the $200 generational price increase. For everyone else who is willing to make the splurge, the Quest 3 sets the new standard for VR and mixed reality gaming." - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
For the record, all of the accessories he mentioned are vastly cheaper with 3rd companies.
and sometimes even better quality (elite strap)
Also keep in mind that soon some accesories from 3rd parties will be compatible with the Quest 3.
For example, BOBOVR is now shipping a retrofit kit for their headstraps to make them compatible with Quest 3.
Furthermore, keep an eye on the 3D printed adapters that will surely be released by the community in no time.
I've got a grand total amount of zero accessories in 3 years on my Quest 2
haha@@ojivlogs
Yeah with knock off chargers that don't charge properly or Bobovr being extremely uncomfortable. I've tried it and hated it.
9/10:
• vastly improved visuals
• great passthrough
• outstanding controller feel and tracking
You're welcome
A 9/10 from IGN usually means a 5/10 realistically
Thanks bro
Thank you internet person
@emma6648 By your weird standards maybe!
$500 for the headset is cheap asf
Anyone get the feeling that quest 3 has more potential to get more games that actually play like GAMES? I’m sick of most of the AAA games these days and might be more interested in having AA indie experiences/arcade experiences these days. Lots of potential for table top AR games. Hope developers deliver.
Nobody cared about VR for 12 years. 1 relevant game HL Alyx that died in a week. This new device proves the same
@@HD-fc4dsHL Alyx isn’t the only relevant VR game
Demeo is already out, and it's a Table Top AR game.
Monopoly, uno, battleship so many concepts and possibilities
@@mitchellp7739 name another one that anybody outside of the small VR enthusiast's circles cares about?
You can't help but look at super nostalgic & gorgeous background during review. CRT television, old consoles. Lighting is so perfect.
I’ve been playing no man’s sky in VR for the past two weeks and I’m freaking addicted on quest 2. My biggest gripe are the lenses and I’m so excited for the clear Q3 lenses finally.
Do you need pc?
@@Redshots_HDyes
@@Redshots_HDyes its not on standalone
I've been playing loads on PSVR2. So crispy!
@@therealarien PSVR2 is the best version! Enjoy!
that beat saber controller test, ok im impressed
Beat Saber has become the de-facto benchmark for VR controller quality
As a 44y old unfit man... that's still a pretty slow speed and low accuracy of 84%. You'd be surprised where you'd get to at 100h.
Brilliant review. Thorough and so helpful. Thank you
Keep it up with the vr coverage!! 🤘
Honestly it should be 10. The mixed reality piano is insane!! I’m sure on deck is a guitar mixed reality 😋 watching TH-cam on it is like sitting down at a movie theatre. The quest 3 is a HISTORIC point in history!!
My OLED Oculut Rift CV1 still holds well and runs every software out there in 2024. Just super glued it for the second time earlier in the day. The performance and quality of visuals have increased a lot over time.
Hello, I'm curious to know if we can record the passthrough in the internal memory of the headset?
Finally. A solid jumping off point. You could get this and probably not have to get another till 5 or 6
There should be a trade-in program, either directly from the companies or reputable third parties so people that want to "upgrade" can do
Definitely, as long as they get recycled and not just throw in to the landfill
amazon has one
Just sell it online at a marketplace and let the buyer pick it up ?
What incentive do they have to do a trade in program?
@@kiwisoupdoes meta really need one? Their incentives should be the happy looks on their customers faces when they get a quest 3 after a trade in
Will be my first VR Headset. Arriving tomorrow. Can't wait!
nah 3rd party is the way to go@@AntoneJoness
Don't go crazy with it. You might throw up or think you can't stomach VR.
You start feeling sick, take a break and come back later.
All the games they show look garbage, better off playing Spiderman 2 on a real console
@@chiquita683that all you can afford?
Oh wow, you will have a nice time... My first game was alyx.. Was like put res evil one in my Playstation
Gaming on Quest 3, where you can see your room and you're fighting aliens or whatever, IN your room, is an amazing experience that has to be tried. Full-stop.
Even cooler in your living room after moving everything so you have a huge space
Space Pirate Arena needs an AR update
No just no
@@JonySmith-bb4gx amazing and compelling argument.. bravo
gimmick
If there are no new games to take advantage of the hardware....what's the point? Ill wait for a year or 2 to see if anything actually makes it worth while.
Theres more than enough...
would have been nice to hear something about watching media on the device. its a big use case
Vegas infinite is a sick game if ur into poker and it’s got a quest 3 patch that allows you to play poker on a packed table in full color pass through
Awesome review! The guy reviewing did a great job!
Would love to see a comparison between other major HMD with Q3. Not just from the document
the only other major headsets are incredibly outdated Valve Index, whose only better claim is bigger FOV and psvr2, wired, bulky, B&W passthrough, awful optics and often lame reprojection, plus lacking most features outside gaming
and then there are niche and very expensive enthusiast headsets on pc with better specs
@@VRnamek The Valve also has finger tracking on the controllers, which really adds to immersion. If Valve dropped an Index 2 with more emphasis on ease of access (no clunky sensors, QoL improvements, etc.) then I'd rather buy that than a bare minimum upgrade from the quest 2.
@@Gloomrotten It is different to finger tracking, the controllers have sensors to know which have been lifted from the controller!
my quest 1 had hand tracking. your talking like you just found vr@@BritishReaction
That's because there LITERALLY isn't anything that's indisputably better! 🤷
Even the $1000 for JUST the headset (aka no base stations or controllers, it's more like ≈$1500 w/ those) Bigscreen Beyond has significantly worse lenses (WAAAAAAY more glare & reflections than Meta's custom pancakes), a smaller FOV, no wireless support (even just wireless tethering, let ALONE full standalone capability), AND a lower refresh rate (90Hz at reduced Quest 2-ish res & just 75Hz at the full 2560x2560p res, vs up to 120Hz at whatever res the Q3 game/PC can handle).
For a properly "complete VR package" you simply cannot do better than the Quest 3 atm, no matter HOW MUCH MONEY you decide to spend. 🤷
Tested this when UniSA visited my uni.
Love it!
I'm so excited for my quest 3 to show up in the mail!!!!
12:12 Not all meta controllers have had tracking rings, the quest pro controllers (Which work with the quest 2, Pro and now 3) don't have rings
Can you use the quest with only mobile phone ? For example use the quest as a second screen for games on your mobiles?
The room mapping is so cool
Man, that guy's got a slick apartment and audio-visual setup.
Portal 2 would be amazing in VR on Meta Quest 3.
Anything first person shooter is always better in vr. If you have tried some decent vr shooter, you will have a feeling that fps games were initially designed for vr games back in the day
it's a shame that you guys didn't cover PCVR which is quite important for many people
Seriously, many of us don't touch standalone and they act like PCVR doesn't exist
They did. They showed Microsoft Flight Simulator and talked briefly about the quality.
PCVR is a niche in a niche.
Well considering PCVR does not harness the extra power of the headset, there's not much to talk about. It was wifi 6 and a higher resolution screen. What else they need to say exactly?
@@kiwisoupnot much honestly
This is basically what we have all been waiting for all these years!! Everything is a huge improvement over the quest 2 and this will do 95% of what Apples $3500 headset will do!
except still the lack of quality games..which is most important.
Nothing to knock the Quest 3, just because it has similar capabilities doesn’t mean that the Quest 3 will do them better than the Vision pro. Are all 4k TV’s equal?
@@mikeswanger4339 Not saying it will do anything better than the vision pro. But it seems it will do most of what the vision pro will do at a fraction of the price. Is the vision pro $3000 better than the Quest 3? I don't think so.
@@kricul1the new piano sim (think guitar hero, but on steroids) sounds really cool
The Apple Vision won't have controllers, and they didn't announce any VR games at the reveal. It seems to be intended only for virtual desktops, floating windows in the room.
Im so stoked for mine to arrive! The clarity and comfort alone is what sold me! Great review!
It isn't comfortable still, but the new lenses are top tier
Hey fnh8it
Comfort? Compared to what? All the tethered headsets are more comfortable and it is a huge backwards step from the Quest Pro.
@@groovemark Every VR youtuber whos had their hands on the headset early has mentioned it is a lot more comfortable and better balanced than the quest 2. With 3rd party accessories the faceplate and head strap, much like quest 2's, will be replaced instantly boosting the comfort level even further.
@@FNH8iT Wearing a battery on your nose is never gonna be comfortable.
Is it more comfortable to wear for longer periods? Trying to decide between a new quest 2 or going for the 3 - comfort might be the push vs $$$
I'm in the same boat. Probably not getting any as a consequence.
How did that „sendung mit der maus“ cap end up with you?
To all the new people in VR you can use the Quest 2/3 all day without having to worry about it dying by getting a 3rd Party cable like the JSAUX Link Cable or Kuject Link Cable that allows your Quest 2/3 to stay charged while playing without getting below like 80% or so. There is nothing more annoying than exploring the things in the headset and then right when you're ready to get into a game or app the headset dies. lol
I've never used vr are they fun, is it worth the money and moaning of my wife
Does it come with rechargeable batteries or do you need to buy them separately after the ones they give you die?
The base model does not come with rechargeable batteries. If you buy the charging cradle, it does
Real question is how long till the controller stick drift starts
Do you need a monthly subscription to META Games to play? How much is it?
Coming from the vive then vive pro 1, this is amazing
whats the best 3rd party accessories for the quest 3?
Haha love your background there!
What voice changer do you use and what settings for the voice changer
im beyond hyped to get mine
Ive been using my quest 2 since the day it came out, great piece of kit but im ready to move on from those lenses.
You've been using it since the day it came out? Go touch grass.
The selling point is lenses for me as well, that’s worth it alone
@@serious.businessstop hating loser
@@serious.businessbro he just having fun
Those lenses on the quest 2 are downright horrendous
Might have to upgrade my Occulus Go... still works, but, technology moves on....
Enjoy it, lucky people who can play VR. It gives me a terrible headache - always wanted to do a modded Skyrim playthrough in VR 😭
That goes away with time, most people have to ease themselves into VR and eventually you don't get any sickness or anything (you generally want to stop asap if it starts hurting)
Yeah, what @retrodaniel said. it's unfortunate to respond with "it gives me headaches" with "do it more often" but it's true. You get used to it. if it helps anymore, the quest 3 is significantly less blurry and also a higher resolution which *could* help relief some of those headaches. but yeah the biggest thing is just getting used to it
Can you manage 15 minute bursts?
It was the same for me and still is in longer full motion play sessions, but it does get better with time
Weak mentals
Do your games from quest 2 transfer over to quest 3?
They had that pass through game on the 3ds for free called face raiders or something like that.
Had a bad time with my glass on Quest 2, doesn't seem getting any better on any VR headset.
Perfect review!
Can we get a mixed reality yugioh game now? Lol
That would actually be amazing
Yess
The 2 comes with a silicone cover for the foam . This should too
im excited. the future is in the mixed reality
Once Thrill of The Fight 2 releases, I’ll get the quest 3
Can you utilise your PCs GPU when connected or are you stuck with the meta3s processor?
Of course! The whole reason to tether it to your PC is because it has SIGNIFIANTLY more powerful hardware!
Jesus Christ Loves You All John 3:16
Every Quest headsets can be used as PCVR headset even the old Quest 1
The problem with copying in large videos is still present?
does it have story rich exploring games? those were my favorites on the psvr 1 but there was only few.
Whats the soundtrack in the video? Intro and outro
Other sources are disputing your claim “18w max” and that it supports up to 27w.
Was looking through the comments for the passthrough. My passthrough on the quest 3 is grainy as hell. Even in bright rooms
Same here. The videos ive seen the passthroughs seemed really clear. My one isnt only grainy but it waves a little here and there sometimes. No issues though when not in passthrough
on a comment made in verdict - most precisely tracked controllers.. does it really outperform Valve index with base stations?
No, but the optional upgrade fully self-tracked Touch Pro controllers do! 🤷 (Aka the controllers the Quest Pro ships with). They have absolutely ZERO tracking deadzones or occlusion issues, which even with outside-in Lighthouse tracking can still be an issue.
Sure, Lighthouse has a slight latency advantage by running tracking updates at 100Hz to Touch Pro's 60Hz, but IMO I'd MUCH rather have its guaranteed no deadzones or possibility for occlusion (and ability to be used ANYWHERE w/o external base stations) than Lighthouse's small latency advantage.
... Touch controllers also don't spontaneously break and fall apart even if you just accidentally look at them the wrong way ala Index's Knuckles, so there's that. 🤷
Great to hear, ill wait for a sale!
looks amazing! and much much cheaper compared Apple Vision Pro
But can it run DMM …. ?
Anyone else notice the extremely high pitch frequency that plays through the whole video?
Wonder if robo recall will get a visual update to be more in line with the pc version.
Quest 3 can sure handle it - here's to hoping.
Multi-player like allready
let that minigame rest at once. Epic should bring a more fully featured game
We have more VR headsets than AAA games out there for all of them combined.....
No we can play almost all Unreal Engine games in VR using the praydog mod with a PC
At least 500 tested so far ..
That's right
Not if you have pcvr.
Does this one scratch glasses lenses from rubbing against the display like the last one did?
There is a built in spacer for glasses wearers
Great review guys
Anyone besides me notice the headset fan noise being louder than that of the Quest 2?
Can you do crossplay with Quest 1/2 users playing the same game together?
If the game is supported on all headsets, it should be fine.
Its just an android game, so yeah
Fresnel lenses got me😅 4:05
Red Matter 2 already had superior graphics on Quest 2. Nice that they pushed it even farther when they didn't have to.
Lmfaooooo!!! The one guy in the crowd who cheered a $500 price tag. I'm dead!
Bargain compared to apple’s headset
Ummm are you saying that’s expensive? I’m confused
Cant wait. Im taking extra shifts at a factory to get it
You mean they didnt replace the part that touches your face from foam to silicone when they knew they ended up having to do that with the quest 2 ?
Wireless pc gaming worked perfectly with quest 2
How are the concerts in VR?
The games looks pretty fun 😅 is this from the predecessor of occulus?
Can anyone please tell me what quest home map is at 9:25 ? It looked amazing!
You did not mention the weird storage options: 128GB for the base and 512GB for an extra $150.
😂
Storage is useless, these type of games don’t take that much space, the quest 2 I have is 64 gig and never fully took all the space
Plus Quest 4 will be out in max 2 years.
where is the quest 3 256gb?
Got the 512 gb version hope it needs that much
Ign Apple VR price is normal. But this is expensive!? Lol. What?
It's expensive compared to the Quest 2
apples price is fine considering only enterprise users will buy
this is for consumers. 499 is 200 more than what quest 2 started for.
LOL if you think apple VR is only for enterprise, you haven't met a proper apple fanboy
credit for the song starting a 1:00?
If pass-through became high-res enough it'd be weird for someone shortsighted to use 😂 cured of their blindness by tech. Some real cyberpunk stuff right there
That's not how it works. If you're short sighted you still have to wear glasses with the headset. The displays are milimiters away from your eyes, but what makes things blurry is your eyes' failure to focus for far distances, which it still has to do to get the stereoscopic 3D effect.
With the new games releasing is 128 gb enough? Or is it better to go for the 512 gb version?
your going to need 512gb..not much to say
"Oh, looks cool, might give it a shot!", he says, while his Quest 2 sits on the shelf, barely ever used, covered in dust.
Honestly, this is me.
Certified: boring.
Weighing down your head is ideal if it balances the headset
Im waiting until they figure out a full 4k headset
The AR looks cool
What is the model of the mouse in the bottom right corner at 1:03?
Logitech gx
50% is 1.5 times more powerful, since it's 2 times more powerful it's 100% more powerful 👍
I'll get it when Asgards wrath 2 drops.
Can you connect android phone or tablet to it???
Is it actually possible to use a VR headset without it causing dizziness or nausea?
yeah , it mostly goes away with usage and many never experience nausea at all
Play 10 minutes the first couple times. Then move it to 20 after 10 doesn't cause problems and gradually increase. Certain games will still probably cause problems, but you should be fine with the vast majority.
Yes. I'm using vr since 2017. 3 of my friends got psvr2 about 3 weeks ago, and they stopped to feel motion sickness already.
Yes I’ve never gotten sick.
you get used to it just don't overdo it.
the Meta App store has Comfort Rating on games.
Sounds like someone had a CRT on in the background during the recording
These can also be Use to Fly Quad Drones,
Is PC tethering wireless? Is it Bluetooth?
Is it worth upgrading if it’s only being used for PCVR?
Absolutely. The pancake lenses gonna blow ya mind
Yes total , higher field of view , way better lenses , higher resolution smaller Form Factor and better controllers
To an index absolutely
What games are included when you buy meta quest 3?
Asgards Wrath 2 was included. Not sure if anymore
Still is right now
Loving the Quest 3 🎉
How about the sony vr?
how do turn the sound up and down
