Today I give the Meta/Oculus Quest 3 a 3 month review. I cover passthrough, mixed reality, performance, PCVR, link, games, controllers, and how it stacks up against the Quest 2. Check out my other videos for VR Tips & Tricks, Top 10's & News.

If your video was featured & you haven't been credited feel free to contact me via Twitter DM.

I do not own any of music, extra video clips images, chroma key, or sound effects used in this video. Or at least most of them, some stuff is mine.

My channel is about VR Content (obviously lol) I've covered many topics on this channel in the past such as PC Building, PC Gaming Knowledge, Gaming News. That can be CPM rates, Industry knowledge, Business knowledge, how to edit, how to build a gaming PC, budget or not. But VR is cooler so I'm probably gonna keep doing that.

I'm like the monkey you send into space for tests. I just come back with the results and give them to you for FREE.

I never saw the Quest 3 marketing. I think the passthrough is INCREDIBLE for the price. Especially when compared to quest 2. Never experienced it but from what I can tell, the technology is very powerful with full colour, low latency, clear, passthrough, as well as it being able to see geometry in the room and interact with it in mixed reality.

I don't think people understand how big of a jump the Q3 is compared to its predecessor. It's an INSANE value at the price point. I get $500 is nothing to sneeze at, but in a niche market where the average headset price is closer to $1k, getting 90% of a $1k headset for half the price is wild.

Honestly the Quest 3 is such a massive upgrade from the Quest 2 I absolutely adore this thing.
I used it more in 1 week than my psvr 2 in half a year so that says a lot lol

[liquid_cryptid]

I know a lot of reviewers where hard on the passthrough, but in my experience the universal reaction to the passthrough from my VR veteran friends has been "Oh, WOW!".

[austinwelch]

Had the constant urge to clear my sinuses the whole time watching

[OlderThanAverageGamer]

I actually got more motion sickness watching the video transitions and pop outs than I do on Quest 3! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I think the word disdespair is a good description of how I feel when my car breaks down too.

[gersongaete]

all i care about are vr games, real triple A games, not android level games. I havent used my quest 2 in many months because of that, it just doesnt have much of a catalogue right now.

[jaxondabac]

I would love a Quest 3 for just the improved displays and nothing else, but the price just isn't feasible for me atm. When I save up the money for the headset plus the necessary accessories, I might consider upgrading but honestly the Quest 2 is enough to have fun and that's all I really need.

[disculpa]

The battery life is fine. Lasts like 2 hours at which point i want a break anyway.

[agentavaricia]

Mixed reality really just allows me to move around my house and see without actually removing my headset

[JamesFBack]

the honest truth is that i still live with my parents, and they kinda don't want me wasting my hard earned money on a new headset when i already have on.
will be getting one when i move out lol

Is it just me who feels like we are doesn’t hit the same anymore, but still watches gethip

[Ryxbar]

Just bought a Q3, it arrives tomorrow. Probably should have watched a video like this first but now that I have watched it I'm convinced I made the right call. Very informative, unbiased, and entertaining; great stuff.

What is wrong with this guy talking? He sounds slow but talks fast.

[geoffreyprecht]

Quest 3 passthrough is worth it if you get Virtual Desktop and use chroma key passthrough mode to play wireless PCVR. I'll never forget the first time I invited someone over to a green screen world in VRChat and saw their avatar standing in my own apartment! (Your mileage may vary based on how much of a VRC nolife you are.)

[marcelloreeves]

I’ve never treated VR as a replacement medium, it does create some immense cool scenarios that only VR can do well. However there are things I would rather just use a powerful laptop or computer to do. Point being that I don’t have an incentive to pick up a quest 3 because I feel that the 2 does the job well enough. (I mostly use PCVR anyway so processing power and battery life are rarely things that factor into my experience)

[garyavocado]

2 hours with this kind of headset is honestly a good time frame in which to take a rest

[rocksnot]

Waiting for VR headset producers to notice that 75% of their potential buyers wear glasses. That, and $300 is pretty much my price point.

[RestoVette]

Instead of wasting money on battery straps and blah blah blah, just get a comfortable halo strap, get the long quest link cable, get some dry wall hooks and retractable cable hangers, plug the link cable into the wall. There you have it, you could play all day long just like I did, no cable in the way cuz it’ll be above your head on the ceiling, and no extra weight from bulky exterior batteries.
