The action button has so much potential! I'd love for it to do something like start a recording with a double tap. Single tap toggles pass-through as it always has. Triple tap? Maybe take a screenshot.
A very detailed video comparing all the aspects. I was pretty confused between 3 and 3s, of which one should I go for. Now i am pretty sure i am going for Quest 3, as mostly i will be using it for watching movies. Thanks. Your video was top notch and you gained one loyal subscriber for sure.
I just got a quest 3 yestarday and holyyyy crap its insane. This is my first vr headset and the games are just so fun, plus the mixed reality. As someone who has tried the quest 2, the pancake lenses are such a big upgrade, well worth it. The only 2 complaints I have is the battery life isn’t great, and it would be nice to have an OLED for those deep blacks. Thanks for the detailed review!
Awesome! The Quest 3 is an incredible headset. Battery headstraps are a great option to boost battery life and comfort. Worst case, you could also just plug in an portable battery back with a longer cable and keep the battery pack in your back pocket, similar to how the Apple Vision Pro works. And yeah, I do still miss the OLED screen on my Samsung Odyssey headset from years ago. I'm really hoping we get an OLED in the Quest 4 or Quest Pro 2. But that's probably at least a year away.
@ I’ve thought about using a portable battery pack, but I have seen issues online of people frying their charging port from not using the included charger. Do you have any tips on that?
@superfishies2022 Wow, that's the first I've heard of frying charging ports, but I also only use higher end battery packs from companies like Samsung and Anker. I would just stay away from no name brands or go the easiest route and get either the boboVR battery pack strap or Meta's official elite strap with battery. Those are guaranteed not to cause issues and make the headset dramatically more comfortable.
@@TechisodeTV Alright, thanks for the advice! I'll probably settle on getting a good anker battery pack, since they're chargers have been pretty reliable for my past devices.
@@superfishies2022 you can buy head straps with an external battery. I’ve been using them since the Quest2 without issue. I’m currently on my quest 3 and I’ve had that since launch. The only way you can potentially fry out the USB-C port is if the USB-C is not seated properly.
Would be cool if holding down the action button opened up like a pass through portal in your game without pausing the game while a single press still toggles it
You'll see a massive difference! I own a Quest 2 and CV1. The CV1 has great colors, but the god rays and resolution ruin it. My Quest 2 is so much clearer, it feels like getting glasses for the first time! Plus, wireless VR makes it SO HARD to go back to wires. Also, at least for me, tracking quality is honestly negligible.
Just being able to turn without wires is going to be an incredible improvement. I remember the first time I went from tethered PCVR to a standalone headset and was blown away by his much easier it was to play action games.
Thanks so much for this comprehensive comparison! I have a Q2 and wasn't sure about upgrading to the 3 or 3s, but now I'm convinced the 3 is the way to go. This was super helpful, and thank you!!

Great video! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m thinking about upgrading from my Quest 2 to the Quest 3S, but wasn’t sure if I should save my money for the Quest 3. This video really helped me decide. I think I’ll just go with the cheaper Quest 3S since I’m a more casual VR gamer. I’ll for sure subscribe!
Thanks! I'm glad the video helped! Yeah, for casual playing, the Quest 3S is more than sufficient at a great price point. Especially if you're getting the 128GB version. But if you are planning on getting the 256GB headset, it may be worth spending the extra $100 since you're getting close to the Quest 3 price now.
I don't agree. I had the Quest 3 and although the displays are lovely, I could not get the two images to look like one. I simply didn't get comfortable. I've bought a 3s because even though the Fresnel lenses aren't as good, the comfort is far greater. With the colour pass through and greater resolution and colour density compared to the quest 2 - such I love. It's a good upgrade for me. Oh the room scanning as well and the Snapdragon 2 chip. Q3 pancake lenses are nice but they didn't get it right for me.
@@VanGoWanderlustI wouldn't go off that. Quest 3 resolution is good, and the images can be improved with side quest. It's an excellent PC headset if you use WiFi to stream. Fancy new pancake lenses are indeed lovely, but in my opinion they didn't get the headset right. It's uncomfortable. I've had a lot of headsets including an Index and that was bad as well.
my first vr headset which i got 4 days ago was the quest 3. I was thinking of getting the 3S but since this is also my first console and my parents rarely buy me devices i just helped pay for the 3 so i could get better lenses.
Yeah, it's a big difference, especially if you plan on playing a lot of VR. For casual playing every once in a while, the 3S is more than sufficient, but the 3 is definitely next level with the pancake lenses.
@@TechisodeTVif i have 3S and have clarity issues with game hud menus ( like PDA in Subnautica (even moved back to max using mod) and game menu in Moss (Quest+ game) ) being too close, will these problems go off with Quest 3 not S? Its 900zł more (220$) for me and i have only few days left to be able to return (30 days) or i simply need correction lenses?
I bought prescription lenses from Zenni as I weat glasses. Also bought a better headset support to ease sharing. Easy to removeandpu on just by turning a knob
I somehow regret buying the quest 3. This thing cant do anything else apart from vr games. Open the menu and all thsts there is vr games iam not into this level of wanting to play games all day. I assumed i will ne able to connect to my phone then file transfer back and forth screen share voth ways but it barely does any of that. Even the pass-through is manly able to be used when u are palyi g these vr games.😢
Which is recommended if i'll use VR mainly for watching videos and movies? I know the quest 3 has the highest resolution but what i'm mainly concerned with is the pancake lenses and wider field of view if it's worth it. i'm considering the quest 3s if it isn't worth it.
For watching movies, the Quest 3 may be worth the extra money, simply because the edges of the screen on the Quest 3S will be blurry, due to the fresnel lenses. Since the pancake lenses give you a sharp image even to the corners, movies would be noticeable more immersive/enjoyable. If possible, test out a friend's Quest 2 to see the blurry corners and see if it bothers you. You can also look at my screen quality test right at the beginning of the video to see what I mean by blurry corners.
3s also doesn’t have enough storage at 128gb. In 2 weeks of using the Meta , I’m already at 100gb usage. Get the 3. You will regret having to delete games and to install games to make space just because you wanted to save 200 bucks.
It’s my first ever VR headset so I got the 3s and I love it I bet if I had the 2 I would the new quest 3 for lens becuase I wouldn’t want the same lens again on the new gen headset I would want something 10x nicer
I upgraded from the quest 2 to the 3s. As a average consumer, its only a good buy assuming you cannot afford the quest 3. If you can afford the quest 3 then definitely avoid this one
I am so happy with my meta3s it is very nice the sound good and for 2k it is enough for gaming already also the prices this is fantastic 😊if upgrade will wait for quest 4
I'm only 1/3 of the way in and he seems to be comparing th 3s more to the 2 than the 3...obviously it's way better...I really want to know why the 3s is better than the 3, most I've read seems like the 3 is superior
The 3S is NOT better than the 3. 3S has less pixels, less resolution, lower FOV than the Quest 3, and doesn't have Pancake Lenses. Not to forget mention the 3S also doesn't have a headphone jack, the only reason people say it's better is because of the price which isn't really that much less than the 3... You can get a 3s for as low as $299 and a 3 for as low as $379, it's just 80 dollars
You need an app called "immersed" installed on both the headset and your computer. Then you can control your computer from the headset and craft a monitor of pet much any size. Takes a bit of fiddling to get it set up right, but it's awesome once it's set up.

Been waiting for a video on one ui 7 since ... If there are in depth changes and even the slightest of changes I trust youre one of a few who woukd pick them 😊all up
The Bobo straps are SO much more comfortable. Like wearing a pillow on your head. Then when you try to switch to another strap after using the Bobo for a while, everything else feels uncomfortable by comparison haha.
I don't know if you have a friend with a 3D printer but you can just print a back piece that makes the stock strap perfect. Then return that bobovr and save your money. It looks like it adds weight too. I don't like that. The printed piece is extremely light and so is the stock strap. I don't know if that bobovr comes with a built-in battery but a battery bank is better anyway.
@@elijahjackson5232 The battery life is not very good and the default strap is uncomfortable, so i’d definitely recommend buying a headstrap from somewhere like BoboVR or Kiwi Design (the official Meta elite straps are known for having issues) Otherwise it’s been very good. Note that the 3S has a limited IPD adjustment, so it might not fit your eyes depending on your IPD.
Only Q3 for me. If you itemize it, you get quite a lot more for that $200. If you have a job there is no excuse for buying the 3s. Just save for another month or two for the Q3. Only way I would get a 3s is if I was a kid without a job that had to save for 6 months just to get $300. I don't believe in the "my first vr headset" nonsense either. Those people always spend more in the long run.
The Quest Pro has been discontinued and will only sell until there are no more units available. I also already did a deep dive review comparing the Pro to the 3. I thought about including the Pro anyway, but it would have added about 10 minutes to the video without much value. That's why I reference the Pro video at the end of this video instead. In short, the Pro is only good for PCVR and the 3 is better by a solid margin for standalone VR use. And I strongly recommend that people don't buy the Pro because a Pro 2 is rumored to be released in 2025 :) I hope that helps! :)
The pancake lenses really do make a dramatic difference for immersion. The 3S is a huge step up from the 2, but the 3 is next level for those who want to go all in on VR. Though I'm excited to test out Samsung's XR headset early next year, provided it launches with a decent game library.
@@Draconiangem it is not recommended in general to use Bluetooth because the latency would be too high. There are some exceptions, but it is much better to use a wired headphone for gaming. For movies though, Bluetooth tends to be fine
Epidemic Sound accidentally copyright striked the first upload even though I have an active license. I had to jump through some hoops to clear it, part of it being a reupload. Fortunately, only 200 people saw the original video :) Merry Christmas by the way!
Its just not worth it as un upgrade from the 2. Its only good as a first headset. Just like the quest 2 was. The 3 is good for both, its worth the money imo as both a starter headset and a quest 2 upgrade
These things are JUNK.. I bought one to game with my kid and it took 2 weeks to reach the conclusion that I waster my money.. nothing on them works correctly.. they constantly lose tracking on the controllers.. you cant connect to p.c. using a cable so not even useful as a monitor for a gaming p.c. since they only connect via bluetooth.. and the lag is so insane I'm not sure why they even bothered to give them the ability to do it.. I mean absolutely useless.. im going to use my quest 3s for target practice... so it's not a total waste of money.. atleast I'll get the satisfaction of watching this p.o.s. explode
Overpriced garbage..Games are wack and too expensive.Pay for a game and then you need to pay more in the game for more features or songs.Complete money grab.
I've literally bought every single game I have on sale for like 5 bucks. I've gotten big games for free. I don't care about buying new songs so that helps too.

Have you had any issues with your 3s? Thinking bout buying one
@@elijahjackson5232 The battery life is not very good and the default strap is uncomfortable, so i’d definitely recommend buying a headstrap from somewhere like BoboVR or Kiwi Design (the official Meta elite straps are known for having issues)
Otherwise it’s been very good. Note that the 3S has a limited IPD adjustment, so it might not fit your eyes depending on your IPD.
Totally Bunkers - The lenses alone is a no brainer...
Buy a Q3 second hand and be happy....
Only Q3 for me. If you itemize it, you get quite a lot more for that $200.
If you have a job there is no excuse for buying the 3s. Just save for another month or two for the Q3.
Only way I would get a 3s is if I was a kid without a job that had to save for 6 months just to get $300.
I don't believe in the "my first vr headset" nonsense either. Those people always spend more in the long run.

The quest 3s it’s the best oculus I’ve personally owned
Why not just include the Quest pro in this comparison video?
No one really wants the quest pro
The Quest Pro has been discontinued and will only sell until there are no more units available. I also already did a deep dive review comparing the Pro to the 3.
I thought about including the Pro anyway, but it would have added about 10 minutes to the video without much value. That's why I reference the Pro video at the end of this video instead.
In short, the Pro is only good for PCVR and the 3 is better by a solid margin for standalone VR use. And I strongly recommend that people don't buy the Pro because a Pro 2 is rumored to be released in 2025 :)
I hope that helps! :)
@@TechisodeTV Understandable, thanks for the videos I'm all caught up now :D
The q3 is the best standalone by far. Pancake lens are soooo much better
The pancake lenses really do make a dramatic difference for immersion. The 3S is a huge step up from the 2, but the 3 is next level for those who want to go all in on VR.
Though I'm excited to test out Samsung's XR headset early next year, provided it launches with a decent game library.
Don't know what to play? Check out walkabout mini golf!
Best game, let me know how it is!
If you have the 3s just wait for the 4 to come out to upgrade
Minimum year and a half wait.
@DingleBerryschnapps yeah if you have a job it's not that bad
The 3 is a peace of paper
At 4:30 .... that jello effect you see viewing text on your phone is EXACTLY what I see on the top tier Quest 3. Why?
Check for an update. I'm on version 72. You'll still see occasional wobble, but nothing like the severe warping in my original Quest 3 review.
The fact that the 3s doesnt even have a headphone jack is already a good reason for why im getting the quest 3 instead
Bluetooth exists.
@@Draconiangem it is not recommended in general to use Bluetooth because the latency would be too high. There are some exceptions, but it is much better to use a wired headphone for gaming.
For movies though, Bluetooth tends to be fine
Meat quest 3 sounds the best
For sure. The 3 is hands down the best experience, but also the most expensive.
W man's for reading the Bible
Why re-upload?
Epidemic Sound accidentally copyright striked the first upload even though I have an active license. I had to jump through some hoops to clear it, part of it being a reupload. Fortunately, only 200 people saw the original video :) Merry Christmas by the way!
Its just not worth it as un upgrade from the 2. Its only good as a first headset. Just like the quest 2 was. The 3 is good for both, its worth the money imo as both a starter headset and a quest 2 upgrade
3 is absolutely worth it. Not the 3s tho.. the 3 is not thy much more but is better in every way. Pancake lens are worth it alone
@@SharperthanA oh yeah Prove it by buying me a 3 . Lol.
Christ is king 👑
i need to be honest.. first time here and thats the way you start a video review brother..... this is sponsored by... nobody
Lol, there are so many sponsored reviews online that people just start to assume everything is sponsored. Figured I'd mix it up a bit 😄
I think the action button should get your money back if you bought the 3s
These things are JUNK.. I bought one to game with my kid and it took 2 weeks to reach the conclusion that I waster my money.. nothing on them works correctly.. they constantly lose tracking on the controllers.. you cant connect to p.c. using a cable so not even useful as a monitor for a gaming p.c. since they only connect via bluetooth.. and the lag is so insane I'm not sure why they even bothered to give them the ability to do it.. I mean absolutely useless.. im going to use my quest 3s for target practice... so it's not a total waste of money.. atleast I'll get the satisfaction of watching this p.o.s. explode
"I'm not sponsored, trust me"

First!
This guy's review is garbage. 3s is garbage. The quest 3 is the money.
No it is not garbage I have one myself and it’s amazing
Been back and forth between the 3 and 3s lol so go for 3?
I don't think there was a question of if the Quest 3 was better than the 3S. That's not the subject of this video.
Overpriced garbage..Games are wack and too expensive.Pay for a game and then you need to pay more in the game for more features or songs.Complete money grab.
Lol maybe try buying games that don't do that? There's tons of them. And you can just play modded beat saber for free songs. Tons of people do it
I've literally bought every single game I have on sale for like 5 bucks. I've gotten big games for free.
I don't care about buying new songs so that helps too.
0:50 massive you say? You know what else is.. MASSIVE? 🥷
The sun. Lots of mass there
