While the 3s is lighter overall, the Quest 3 is significantly slimmer, as you mentioned. Its closer fit to your head reduces front-facing pressure, making it feel much lighter when worn.
Great review, Kirk. I work at a school and am setting up some Meta Quest 2 headsets for the Health Sciences dept. and installing a nursing simulation alp called Ubisim. Its cool going through some of the simulations.
My Brother bought the 3 for $500 and has to share it with his son. I bought 2 3s For $600 and i dont have to share mine . The 3 only seams like a 15% visual difrence to me and has more storage but you can hold things that you are not using in the cloud . 100% team 3s
I could see both sides of the argument. For casual users I think the 3s is fine. For people who really care about specs, etc .. the 3 makes more sense.
Hey Tech it guy. sorry if to say this but 128gb is no longer selling the 512gb got a price reduction to 499$ and I just bought that the quest 3s only goes up to 256gb for 399$ for just 100$ more you get a way more premium headset (pancake lense included) and TWICE the 256Gb Storage i think quest 3 is a no brainer a 3s is only for entry level and i feel bad you need to return the 128 Gb Model of the Quest 3 512gb is 100% better + you get the free batman game and the free meta+ subscription not found on the previous quest 3 when it intially up for sale.
Yeah, I was going off the specs on their sure... Totally missed that they discontinued the 128gb model. That change makes the 3 model well with the $500 IMHO.
@@kirkyuhnke8939 true imo meta made a good choice they made pricing between the lower end and higher end relevant it's like a iphone 5 and 5s (I got the 5s at the time) and dont regret it since I know the flagship would last really long but yeah. also the quest 3 512gb is my first vr headset I just got it 1 month ago and it's AMAZING!!!
@@kirkyuhnke8939 Hey Thanks, for your response I accutally agree to keep up with the new 3s and bring spice of life to quest 3 was to give twice the 3s max storage and better premium advance device while getitng a massive price cut itself. essentially in short, Quest 3s is truly the best entry level no doubt 128gb starting at 299$ but for 256GB is undermined (399$) the middle ground while the 512gb actually tops the 256gb of 3s making the 3 more appealing. ngl
The 3s can do any app that the 3 can. They run the same processor. The experience may be different because of the difference lens but that's going to be very subjective.
@ I got a 3. The pancake lenses and 512gb only being $100 more than the 3s 256gb was not even a thought imo. Appreciate the response. Looking forward to future vids, I have a lot to learn about the settings and what it can do.
@SuperAdilMorocco tough decision. First VR headset? The 3 is a better headset. It feels better in the head, looks better. But 3s is amazing for the price if $500 is too much
I was considering the 3s but for an extra $300 for 512 gb and far better headset I choose the 3 as if I’m buying a headset I would prefer to have a better one for a bit extra

100% - great point. They're basically the same weight but the balance is totally different when you wear it.
Either one you get you win! VR and MR is amazing!

That is SO cool! Some lucky kids. Amazing how tech has changed since my days in school. 😁 Thx for watching and thx for the comment.

Well right now in November the quest 3 128 gb version is only $70 more than the 3s
They discontinued the 128gb ver. They only sell the 512gb now for $500. But if you can get the 128gb for that price, def a deal!

@Data1Data1-v1k great points!! 3 good options IMHO
That helped me decide. Thanks!
Answered all my questions. Great Video my guy. Really appreciate you 👍🏻 Nailed It 💯
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate you checking it out
Kirk! Subbed miss watching you since moving
👋🏻 Colorado misses ya!!! Thx for the sub. Hope my vids bring you a slice of your old home. 😁
Is the resolution increase worth $200? I'm still on the fence, but I don't know if my eyes will see the difference.
🤔 if you can afford it, yes. IMHO. It also future proofs the headset for a few extra years.
I love ur content! U are so underrated!
;) That means so much. Thx for the comment and hanging w/ the channel!
Does the 3s do IMAX like the 3? Also, is movie watching as good on 3s?

i wonder how does the pc virutal work with meta I was thinking about grabbing a ps5 but meta quest looks so much fun.
The number of times this guy said why why why at the beginning made me not want to watch this
I counted three. But seriously, why? 😂 Thanks for watching brother.
Im confused which one
?? Confused about which one to buy?
@ yes
