What are your thoughts on Quest 3? Worthy upgrade or overhyped?

I just got it and have no clue what these reviewers are talking about regarding FOV on the quest 3, i still have a quest 2 and immeaditly noticed the difference in the lens size. Quest 3 is noticibly bigger, and when setting the facial interface closest to my face, i looked harder to tell when comparing the valve index, not the quest 2. Compared to quest 2, the fov is a noticeable bump and looks much less like looking through binoculars.

I had an oculus rift cv1 and now just got the quest 3. I can’t express how amazing the quest 3 feels in comparaison. So pumped about my purchase.

Such a well made and comprehensive review. Just got mine today and can’t wait to try it out!!

I had a dead pixel on my Quest 3 too. It was located in the right panel. DIRECTLY centered in the sweet spot. Returned the unit immediately.

Great video. Much info. Thanks!

Great review! I got mine in the mail yesterday and can't wait to play with it more - the pancake lenses are amazing! Not sure how so many people were expecting better passthrough in this price range - decent low-light cameras are the holy grail and usually run over $1000 for the body alone for a decent sensor size 😅

The best, review so far, I really love the editing and de tone of the video, c: and really useful, :D

i been waiting for your video good video man

The mixed reality is what really sells me. So amazing to me and I probably would not buy it if it was just another VR headset. Hope Meta keeps expanding on it and adding more MR games and experiences. Thanks for the great review.

Great review thanks ❤

I dont think the price is slowing it down honestly. I went to best buy today and they were sold out. There are 5 in decent vicinity to me. There was only one store close by with any left. I was at the one store bought online for pickup in store at the other store and had the employee there call to get them to put the one i ordered back then so they didn't sell out before my order processed and they could grab it. The other store had 9 left, but they were kind enough to grab it anyway and by the time i got over there they had sold out also

ordered myself one yesterday, it comes in about 2 days as of writing this, very excited.

My issue with quest is it doesnt have enough AAA games... completely understand people can hook it up to a computer but not everyone has a powerful enough computer - the quest arguably is an entry level VR headset but most of the games seem to be incomplete, experiences, or poor quality - theres only a handful of decent games. But the same can be said for PSVR. Sadly it doesnt have the commitment to bring better games which is why Meta keep pushing alternative experiences. Personally i love 3D movies and would love if they had a 3D movie store on the quest.

great review man

Nice review. Thank you!

well done ! thanks for the information

Ive waited for this!

You are good making these videos !

Excellent review and review style

My tv has delay when using bluetooth headphones, but I fixed it by using an aptX bluetooth transmitter, then an aptX bluetooth receiver to plug the headphones into. Absolutely no lag. If the headphones already support aptX, then you just need the transmitter. The brand I bought was HomeSpot. Both transmitter and receiver need power though, so plug into a battery bank. My Anker 10000 has both usb-c for the headset, and a usb-a if needed for anything else.

Nicely balanced review Nathie, thanks for that and I pretty much agree on everything you said ;)

Wow amazing video ! Definitely will upgrade

Thanks for the great review. Mine arrives tomorrow. I sold my Quest 2 a few months ago so I'm looking forward to playing my favorite games like Golf + and Eleven Table Tennis. I'm aware that it will take time for interested developers to upgrade some games and develop new games that will take advantage of the better resolution but I think it's worth it to be patient.

Just got mine today and I honestly love it. I got a quest 2 last week with the Costco bundle deal to see if I was going to like it. I obviously did cause now I have the 3. A HUGE upside on the 3 vs the 2 is the much clearer picture. Text is easier to see and the blur I would notice on my 2 all of the time made me nauseas. No longer the case with the 3. That’s just me! That along with everything else that was improved is a huge plus.

Good video and I like your office. Subbed. :)

@nathie whats your view on the difference between Quest 3 and Rift CV1? would it be worth the purchase, i only PC Game with my Oculus CV1.. your thoughts?

Great video I appreciate the complete honesty. Lots of people are disappointed with the quality of passthrough including myself. Guess we got dupped when all the recording quality was way more clear than what you actually experience. Oh well I’m not to setback by it but some people “literally wanna cry.. 😅” I bought the quest 2 and it was my first vr experience so of course it was amazing but sadly the novelty wore off rather quickly. Mainly due to tragic motion sickness. That stuff made me sick just thinking about wearing the headset. But I don’t think it helped that the headset was so top heavy and hot. I can proudly say tho the quest 3 did not give me motion sickness nearly as bad as quest 2. The strap is ok but the headset itself is a huge improvement as far as comfort and I think that goes a long way in sickness experiences. Overall it’s a nifty piece of tech and I’m a proud supporter of the continued development and evolution of the tech regardless of what company it’s coming from. Cheers

How will I be able to get the quest 3 bobovr because I got both m1 and m2 head straps for quest 2

Great video! Thanks!

I git my quest 3 today and i am really enjoying the MR experience. I am hoping to get the bobvr m3 whenever it is available hopefully soon the stock strap is better but still uncomfortable. Great review

Hello, i just want to tell you that i bought a quest 3 but i have issues with the audio it sounds very bad in all games i tryed reseting but it didnt work

Good review. Thanks for covering all areas

I understand there is some better ventilation , did you have any fogging on the lenses? Thanks

Thanks for this! Covers all the bases without any extraneous talking. My Quest 3 should arrive tomorrow. It will be an upgrade from my Oculus Rift S so, at first, I'll probably be doing more PCVR than standalone. But I'm looking forward to exploring the standalone abilities. I didn't get an upgraded head strap, figuring that third-party options will be available at launch or soon after that are better value. I did get the official PC Link cable but I'll see if it's even needed or if Air Link is good enough. Having it charge while playing would be nice, though.

Getting mine today. PC gamer taking first step in VR - after finding Index and other PC VR headsets too expensive and quest 2 lacking in quality needed. Plus the first color step in MR sold it to me as well. Quest 3 seems, to me at least, the headset I was looking for in terms of price and quality . Looking forward to getting it in a few hours !

amazing review ! answered all my questions --and that record collection is siiiiiick - loved seeing daft punks discovery !

I want to know, remember how you could change the resolution on the quest 2 using sidequest. (if you had a computer we’ve all done this at least once) how long would the battery last if you put the quest 2 res on 3?

i couldn't stop looking at your room and thinking “wow this guy just get himself everything he wants” lol

I have a question nathie how do you combine me with all vr headsets into one in real life?

One more thing to note, besides investing in a 3rd party head strap, I would also suggest investing in a third party facial interface. Not just the cushion, but the whole plastic insert the cushion goes on. I got an all in one kit made by AMVR on sale for $28. I think normal price is $35. Well worth it as the plastic interface piece has venting and flares out a bit more for a better seal and actually makes the FOV look better. The cushion that comes with it is miles better than the stock one.

My question would be on the memory I really would like to use it for the golf app but am wondering if it will ha e enough memory at 128g for that and maybe some random games. So basically as a new user should I go big with the memory or stay in the 128g safe zone?

Got mine today, its a nice upgrade all round

Can u still play in the style of quest 2 (vr) and every other feature? Or does it not include any quest 2 features

Does that wobbly effect happen for the user when doing the pass through when placing objects in front of you? Or is that just something we see from recordings?

Thanks for the review was considering but see it looks worth it.

How did you get your hands on a BoboVR conversion kit for Quest 3?! I need one so badly!

Is the bobo headset compatible with the quest 3 or do you need a conversion kit?

Would you be able to make a video on some of the best MR/Pass-through content to try out on Quest 3?

Hi mate, thanks for your review. You don't experience any noticeable SDE? I got mine yesterday and as soon as I turned it on and looked at the Meta logo I could see SDE, tiny squares like a mesh inside the blue logo, just wondering if it's only mine that for some reason is worse. Never noticed SDE in my Quest 2 for example, so I don't think I'm sensitive to that.

Can anyone tell me what app it is at 4:39 in which we can see our friends in our real living room?

Can't find the bobovr M3 OR the M2 to M3 conversion kit. Are they out yet?

In Passthrough mode, if you invite your friends to your quest home, will they see VR surrounding or Passthrough surrounding?

I played on my Quest 3 for several hours yesterday and set it up for both standalone and PC gaming. I have the Bobovr m2 Pro headset for my Quest 2 and had seen on Reddit that a conversion kit was coming out so that I could use it on my Quest 3 but still can’t find it. It sounded like you had one. Do you have a link? So far I’m really enjoying the mixed reality.

how is the pc vr experience vs the pico 4?

just like all the others no word about the av1 codec ! Is that even compatible with the link ( no air link or VD but with the wired experienced in order to get the best clarity and less compression) ?

Just got mine today and it is better in every way. I would call that acceptable move forward and adequate in every way.

I onle have one question left. Can i play steam Games on the MQ 3 ?

Was een grote stap van de Quest 1 naar de 3, heb hem vandaag binnen gekregen en zat eerst te kloten met het vervangen van de interface en de strap. De interface kwam moeilijk los waardoor ik bang was iets te beschadigen. Bij de elite-strap hadden ze de onderkant van die strap die over je hoofd loopt van siliconen moeten maken, nu wordt het alsnog ranzig. Ik vond de passthrough heel erg wennen, heb pianovision aangeschaft maar heb nog niet door hoe ik de piano ergens neer moet zetten. Het is lastiger dan de Quest 1 iig.

I love the “automatic” play space creation. This is great news!

Can you join a quest 3 user in the multiplayer menu rooms on a quest 2 or is it a quest 3 feature only?

Where can I get BoboVR's strap adaptor can't find it anywhere

My Quest 3 is very responsive compared to my Q2. It is not perfect by any means though and I'd say probably 5-10 years before we get really good mixed reality devices and software. This is still the dawn of a new era as digital and physical slowly merge 😊

hi sir , i love watching movies, 3d sbs movies. can we enjoy 3d movies on quest 3? i have xreal air 2 but i couldnt enjoy full screen movies on it.

Amazing video

Q3 with m3 bobovr strap vs big screen beyond vs q2?? How much comfort is it?

Do you not get the PC USB connection cable .This was very expensive with the Q2.

I got the quest 3 as my first ever be headset, and I really like it. Sure it was expensive, but I’m happy with its quality

If you get a dead pixel on the headset can you send it back? Or do you just have to live with it?

Also did you try the air link?

For everyone having issues with the strap cutting into your ears, what worked for me is raising the left and right speakers up a bit. Issue gone.

Great review.

Rizzler stare, also thx for the review!

How about playing more than 1-1/2 hour between charge... can you use something to play continuously?

I got mine yesterday and it is AMAZING!

74ipd user here and the headset is amazingly clear. Also you can actually scroll and select things in your quest menu by tapping it and sliding your finger over it (like a phone) if you are close enough to the menu that is. +1 for the Pardoes xD

Just bought one because of you :) same for the Meta 2 a while ago

Where did you get you’re head strap for the quest 3 i really need one lol

Can you charge it while using it?

I bought it yesterday could be a real game changer! Its a good upgrade from my Q2

Why did they put the headphone jack on the right side when almost all headphones have the cable coming out of the left side?

Im only 2 minutes into the video, and I already NEED one.

Awesome review. Nice placement of "Kung Fury" as well, lol. I will probably get one, but I am not rushing into it. It doesn't seem like they are having the strongest launch, and if Quest Pro is any indication, we might see a price drop in 6 months unless the hype grows considerably around this product.

anybody having trouble loading apps or games? I've installed a couple yesterday and when I click them in the library, they just beep and do nothing...

Great review. Can't wait for mine to arrive next week.

Loved your review. I already have quest 2. Hoping to switch to quest 3 when it's available in my country. I really would like to have prescription lenses but unfortunately, it's not available here and I don't think it will be in near future. I already scratched my quest 2 lenses, hoping to avoid with quest 3. Can anyone share or guide me to the 3D design of the prescription lenses frame for 3D printing which later I can have fitted with lenses?

Very good video, thank you. I am completely new to all of this. It seems like the headset has its own storage capacity up to 500 gigabytes(ish). It also seems that you can hook the VR headset to a computer. Please forgive me I'm going to use Netflix as both an analogy and an example. When I watch Netflix it comes in streaming and I don't need memory space for that, I just see the movie. Or, Netflix allows me to download a movie for when I'm on a plane. Is the virtual reality world essentially the same? Assuming I can also hook it up to a computer, do I actually need a bunch of onboard memory in the virtual reality device or can I just let the computer be that memory space? I don't know what I don't know.

How did u get the boboVR head strap because i cant find it anywhere

You having the bobovr M3 makes me so jealous, I can't wait to get the conversion kit for my M2

When will I be able to purchase the M3 pro?

If im not upgrading my pc i could buy it or should i?

I'm in California and I'm a VR content creator, today has been an amazing day in VR History, amazing KZfaq on fire tonight

Can you use quest 2 head straps on quest 3?

Hey guys! What do we need storage for? What do I need to choose 512 over 128?

Where did you buy the head strap?

Was looking forward to the review but then I got too distracted by your sick Big Daddy statue 😮 crazy

Awesome video nathi had every created 👍

Thanks for the video. Where did you get the halo strap for the Quest 3? My Quest 3 will be delivered in 2 days. 😁

What app is when they are seeing the city. The geographical data. its on 10:49 Thanks!

When you dropped it i almost threw myself to catch it 😂😂😂
