Quest 3 - Still Worth it or Just Over Hype?

This is my review of the META Quest 3 after over 100 hours later. I'm going to help you decide if it's worth it or not by going through my experience with it after spending all this time using and testing this VR headset.

Make sure to watch my latest Quest 3 Accessories video -

I've been hearing that if you turn off the 120Hz option it seems to bump up the battery life a fair bit and even fixes a few odd glitches. MR also drains the battery a lot faster than full VR stuff apparently.

I got a 20000mah powerbank with a 22.5w power output and that lasts around 8 hours while allowing the battery to stay above 70% so it doesn't overheat and I just keep it in my pocket. For comfort I actually like cloth straps to lay down with but adding a headstrap pad accesory made it very comfy to wear. Just waiting for a good facial interface replacement now.

Coming from a Reverb G2, the Quest 3 is more of an upgrade then people think. Yes, the G2 has a higher native resolution but the focal point is TINY with the older style lenses. So even though the Quest 3 has a slightly lower res, the pancake lenses are SOOO much better and you are no longer stuck finding that sweet spot for a clear image. That alone made me sell my G2 for a Quest 3.

I honestly don't like many people's reviews because I believe they are paid. You are real and I appreciate your point of view.

4:00 "so the controllers on the quest 2"

[arachnid]

Personally I love the quest 3 and for me my quest 3 usually lasts like 2-3 hours without the battery pack and yes I do think the quest 3 has better controllers than the quest pro so in all honesty I recommend the quest 3

honestly for me, after messing a little bit with the strap and finding the perfect spot for it it's pretty comfortable, it doesn't give me any pain or discomfort, it's just on my head

Good video. I have a Rift S, an Index. A quest 2 and now the quest 3. I'm watching you right now on the quest 3. I agree with most of what you said. The battery life is an issue, but not a deal breaker for me and I just keep mine plugged in when I'm watching movies. Clarity and resolution on the lenses are just fantastic. Personally, I don't have any issues with the head strap. I went ahead and got the elite strap when I ordered it because I'm used to having that with the quest 2 and haven't had any issues with either one that I have. I mostly use mine for PCVR, so the the 512 version isn't really needed in my case.

super informative, raw and straight to the point. Thank you!

Great review. Thanks for the hard work. Interestinh to hear your experience with the conteollers. Question: Do you prefer the viewing experience of Quest 3 better than the Quest Pro? I watch a lot of media content. Even more than playing actual VR games. I've heard the black levels on the Q3 aren't great and the QPro would be better for that purpose.

As a quest 3 owner it is my second favorite piece of tech I’ve ever owned

[paintmasteryates]

I think it's all about the cable. The cable I used for the Q2 to keep it charged while playing would not mantain charge. Got a better cable and now my 18w output power bank will mantain charge on my Q3 while playing dungeons of eternity with Q3 enhancements on. Not all usb-c cable are created equal.

I bought the 512GB Quest 3 and Once I picked it up from Best Buy. I got home and the Amazon Truck just dropped off my Aftermarket Headstrap and Silicone Skin Kit. Perfect Timing.
I never even installed the original strap. Went straight to the comfortable quick release button headstrap and installed the silicone face cushion cover and Grips for the Controllers that have straps for the hands.
First time turning this on and doing the setup was easy and quick. The Image Quality is much better than I was expecting from a Standalone Headset. It is absolutely worth it. The built in battery doesn't last very long due to the powerful processor. Similar to My Steam Deck and Asus ROG ally Hand Held Gaming Consoles. They also don't last very long. So a Powerbank is a must have. Luckily, I already have several of em. I plugged in my Quest 3 to my Anker Powercore 3 Elite 87w 26, 800mah Powerbank and Managed to get a whooping 12 hours of gaming in before needing a Recharge. I use this Quest 3 daily. It is worth it for me. Just another wonderful Toy I don't really need but, I am glad I have it. It is Fun! 😉👌

Great video man! Really ealy informative! And honest. You did a great job

[MytherDeath]

I am hopefully going to buy this soon, I will be upgrading from a quest 1 to a quest 3

6:59 HUH!!! good content breaking the law to see if it is possible to drive a car with a vr headset

[davefulford]

I just got one for £250, I mainly use it for PCRV, and the graphics are maxed out, smooth and sharp

[lordshaxx]

I do not mind deleting and reinstalling games, so i like the 128 gb and it works good if you have decent internet

Been using it everyday for 3 weeks with default strap. Not super comfortable but definitely not uncomfortable and no pain. Ears tucked under straps. Very snug and great for fast movement games as it stays put if you turn fast. I hear some of the halo straps can wiggle....my psvr2 definitely does
