Meta Quest 3S 128GB — Get Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-Month Trial of Meta Quest+ Included — All-in-One Headset

Great Headset with Drawbacks
Review from a professional VR dev with loads of different headsets.The Quest 3S is a great budget headset that can play games on par with the Quest 3 and most other current gen (late 2024) headsets. It provides similar color passthrough and is a solid platform with access to both the native Quest store for standalone play (no external PC required after setup) and (through the Meta Link app) SteamVR when linked to an appropriate computer. The build quality is fairly good, although the included head strap is likely worth an upgrade for most active apps and the glasses adjustment should be changed with care to avoid damaging the mechanism. Overall this is a great headset, but when compared to the Quest 3, the lenses in the 3S both limit the field of view and the in-focus viewing angles. This introduces some fiddliness in getting a perfect fit to see content as clearly as possible – these issues are much less pronounced in the Quest 3. If you’ve never used a Quest 3 then the difference isn’t critical, but it is noticeable to those of us who use both frequently.The headset might not last more than a year or two for a number of reasons. Firstly, VR tech changes rapidly and has generally had large steps in quality and convenience every few years both in hardware and software. The headset might not be able to keep up with new technical requirements for fresh updates and apps after a few years. Meta has already stopped allowing app updates for Gen 1 Quests. Secondly, these devices are extremely sensitive to strong light sources such as the sun. When the lenses get direct rays from the sun into them they are likely to take some damage. Of the seven or so Quests I have had for work, which see an occasional trip to the car (once a month or so), all but the newest one have had at least one dead pixel (attributed to sun focusing through the lenses, but could be from something else). If you spend the money on a headset like this, it is likely worth getting a carrying case and not leaving it by windows.All-in-all this is a good headset on a solid platform. It is probably not a super long-term headset and could benefit from accessories such as a rigid head strap and protective storage case to get the most out of it. If you are new to VR or want something easy to use without breaking the bank, this is a relatively recommendable option. If you want the most out of a standalone headset, maybe look at the Quest 3 (or whatever the flagship is at the time).

All around great product!! Buy u will looovvveeee!!!
Thank u so much Amazon, my first META QUEST 3S got lost in the mail or stolen off my porch b4 I got home or something happened to it😡🤬😢(I don’t think in any way that it was Amazons fault bc mail is crazy for holidays & this was a Christmas present) but despite this they took very good care of me & my kids by replacing it anyways & it was after Xmas bc holidays are crazy & stuff but we finally received it & my kids are ecstatic thank u so so much Amazon they finally got their Xmas present we are very happy to be apart of the Amazon family!!!But yes u really must get this for ur kids & u really don’t need a lot of accessories but we like to have diff ones to choose from ( so we’ll prob get a variety of color designs lol) but over all functionality is perfect the mask that comes with it (for me) is more breathable then the scilacone ones with the nose flaps lol that just makes my nose squish down & close lol but the scilacone grips u can buy are very soft & comfortable and it is nice to get a couple extra battery packs or headset attachments but not needed if u don’t play for more then 2-5 hours at a time & can charge in between but u might want to get a battery pack headset with the extra head support (if ur going to need the extra support AW u may as well get one that has a extra battery attached to it…ya know lol) bc it can get very heavy we have been playing it for a few hours now since we got it in the mail & it’s heavy lol but I already had the attachments from the first time I ordered, so that was good we already had the head support so over all it is well worth the money & the wait to get it I know u won’t regret it. Oh and I almost forgot I did some reading & with the MQ3S U CAN PLAY WITHOUT THE REMOTES (IF U SO CHOOSE TO) AND THAT IS REALLY COOL,FUN, & HANDY IF U LIKE THAT KIND OF FUTURE FEELING LOL BUT YES 10*S IS MORE LIKE IT BUT IT ONLY GOES TO 5*S LOL

El producto llegó en excelentes condiciones y es muy divertido de usar, también se puede usar para el trabajo y es muy portátil con su modo viaje te lo puedes llevar a cualquier lugar

I own Quest 1, Quest 2, and I purchased and returned the Quest 3 after testing it.Quest 3 was appallingly disappointing. Expensive, not high quality construction, yellow tinge on screen, dark vignette around edges of lenses, noisy fan, worse black levels than Quest 2, HORRIBLE binocular overlap causing a giant “nose” in view.Quest 3S has none of these issues, but all the benefits of the Quest 3 processing power and GPU.Fast, great passthrough. plays standalone games and Team Beef ports beautifully.Great fast wifi plays PCVR great. Processing also means faster decoding for smoother PCVR.The optical package while largely the same from Quest 2 is somewhat improved, with slightly improved field of view due to the facial interface and thickness of the device.The view is clear, sharp and bright and colorful.The controllers are compact and good. The headset itself sits flusher to the face so it feels more nimble.Amazing value for the price.Keeping it, getting accessories and sticking with it as my main headset. very pleased.

Ä°lk kez vr kullanıyorum ve genel olarak çözünürlük ve lenslerinden ötürü en azından ülkemizde pek önereni görmedim ama açıkçası gayet sorunsuz ve akıcı bir deneyimi var. Bu lenslerin en göze batan kısmı da şu aslında, mesela youtube uygulamasını sanal bir ortamda izlerken izlediğim videonun belli bir büyüklük oranı var. Kafamı çevirmeden tek bakışta izleyebileceğim boyuttayken videonun haricinde boş kalan yerler koyu bir renkte oluyor, videodan yansıyan ışık yoğunluğu ekrandaki siyah yerlerde daha baskın olunca lenslerin ortadan dışarıya doğru yuvarlak olan bir sürü halkasını görebiliyorum ve göze batıyor, sırıtıyor açıkçası. Bunu tam ekranlı bir içerikteyken yaşamadım şu 1 günlük 4-5 saatlik kullanımımda. Oyun oynadım, içerik izledim falan ama lenslerin o sırıtma hissi quest 3’ün yapısını canlı görmediğim için bana çok kötü gelmedi.Evet çözünürlük olarak tırtıklı köşeler aşırı olmasa bile var ancak zaten hareket halinde oyun oynarken falan normal düz ekranda bilgisayar oyunlarındaki gibi bir rahatsızlık vermedi. Daha bilgisayarla kullanmadım ama ryzen 5600, rtx 3060 ti ile vr oyun videolarına baktığımda gayet orta ve yer her orta-üst seviyede sorunsuz oyunlar oynanabiliyor. Cihazın üzerinde oynanan oyunlara göre çok daha iyi oluyor tabi, ikisinin seviyesi eğer bilgisayarınızın donanımı güçsüzse bile vr çalıştırabilecek güçte ve çözünürlüğü vr’ın çözünürlüğünü karşılayacak güçteyse vr’ın içindeki oyunlardan daha iyi olur diye düşünüyorum.Şarjı hızlı bitiyor gibi geldi ama gerçekten cihazı kullanırken vakit çok hızlı geçiyor, zaman algısı bir garip. O yüzden pil %100’deyken ve eğer tam parlaklıkla kullanmıyorsanız 2 saati rahat görürsünüz.Kumanlar çok iyi ancak el ile kontrol çok iyi sayılmaz. Özellikle bazı uygulamalarda uygulamanın kendi klavyesi neredeyse karnıma denk gelecek yerde çıkıyor ve çok absürt deneyimler sunabiliyor (mesela big screen uygulaması öyle sapıtabiliyor ama beta sürümü tabi normaldir diyelim).Bu arada normalde quest 3 alacaktım ancak satıcılara güvenemedim, fiyat olarak avantajlı olunca ve mağaza yorumlarında da genel olarak mağazaya olumlu yorumlar gelince Artı tech mağazasından 18.300’e satın aldım. Yurtdışı fiyatlarıyla karşılaştırınca hala pahalı ama vade farksız 6 taksit varken iyi oldu. Kesinlikle reklam değil, sadece sorunsuz cihaz gönderdikleri için artı tech mağazasına teşekkür ederim, ayrıca kutudan direkt olarak Türkiye uyumlu priz çıktığı için dönüştürücü almama gerek kalmadı.
