@@Codybakes it's possible, you can pair bluetooth headphones to the bluetooth interface, but you really don't wanna use it over the built in mic, because it adds heavy audio delay for whatever reason. at least for sound output, i expect the same to apply to sound input. and then there are wireless headphones that connect via usb-c dongle, you can plug these into the headset, but you will lose the ability to charge the headset midgame, which also is less then optimal. i think anker made some of these. will have to look into that once i decided whether i keep my Q3. and it's really kind of shocking to me that we have to jump through these hoops. they built this awesome device that excels in so many aspects and levels, and the one where you'd expect them to really care about they completely neglect. the people responsible for this mess should reconsider their life choices.

I like the format and you mentioned all the important things I needed to know about the headset, how it compares to the rest of VR devices, and how to set my expectations. I wish more mainstream reviewers were doing, what you are doing ... thoughtful and detailed opinions, not just talking about specs and providing benchmark numbers, but rather giving us full picture of device potential. Please don't ever change :)

You can only compare this with the hp reverb g2 (in resolution) but with day and night sweet spot improvement and better software and tracking. With the big boys (Pimax crystal, bigscreen and varjo) less resolution but way better reliability and performance. No way I would recommend the Crystal over this for example because it's a pain in the VR. If you want to achieve excellence we're still green, we need 2 or 3 more years I think.

I'd like to know what exactly the Q3's motion persistence is. Brad said that it was rocking 85 nits with 'smooth' motion. The PS VR2, at best, with it's VR brightness slider cranked to '0' offers 65nits(20 nits dimmer than Q3) with a 2ms motion persistence. We need 1ms or sub 1ms for eye retina motion clarity, with zero motion blur.

Layered textures are essential for what we expect out of game visuals these days and its good to finally see them on stand-alone. Whether for decals to give objects some extra detail, or for sheen to give objects a shiny appearance. Quest 3 is a headset that I would want if Meta could get their act together and stop crippling their own devices with company shennanigans. Also not quite sold on picking up a headset just for Sidequest.

Hi, Brad. While I agree with you the software side of Quests is their main weakness for the lack of software (especially coming from almost a trilion dollar software company). I think you missed the situation with the software updates. Maybe because you are not a long term Quest device user. They often give, but they often take away. I got my Pro three months ago and so many things got broken by updates I was on the verge of shelving it or selling it. I am just hoping they manage to get it to a state it already was! Prior I had Q2 for a year and there were many times they broke something or just straight made the headset unusable. The software side is terrible and its not getting any better.

On the counterweight thing, I've been cinching a 20,000 mAh Anker battery on the back of the Quest 2 elite strap with a couple of cable ties and a pair of thick rubber bands to keep it from slipping for like 3 years now. It works like a charm - it's the perfect amount of weight to offset the front bulk and provides hours and hours of hot-swappable juice.

I got sick of waiting for Deckard, and was looking to upgrade from my Quest 2. Didn't feel excited for the Q3, wanted to go higher end. I got a Varjo Aero once it was discounted, so also invested in base stations, knuckles and also on vive 3.0 trackers... Wasn't a big fan of the Aero in the end! A lot actually because of the tether and just the lack of ease of use compared to Quest 2. Also FOV, but I could have lived with that. But I was really impressed with the eye tracking in VRChat, so I didn't want to let go of that. Returned the Aero, bought a second hand Quest Pro for 600€. Very happy with the face tracking and the lenses and ease of use and everything, battery life just sucks, and external battery solutions are tricky for it because of the solid construction. In the end just a Quest 3 would have been great for me, but I enjoy the face tracking and the controllers of the Pro now. Not a lot of things that significantly different with the devices, resolution is surprisingly good as well, but ofc Q3 resolution would be nice. What all this hurdle at least got me was full body tracking ;p

I can appreciate that you don't play competitive Beat Saber and if your Q3 experiences do not include workouts and sports games, but you really let Meta off the hook regarding the controllers presumably because you are unaware of the nightmare it is to play certain games using these controllers. The sports game market is huge and these controllers perform poorly in golf, tennis and many other racket/paddle sports. It doesn't have to be fast crazy like Expert+ Beat Saber to experience tracking loss. A golf swing with the Q3 controller alone is a poor experience as is serving in tennis and other racket based games. Meta obviously did not consider that there are games/apps in which folks do not hold the controllers so they are always facing the cameras on the headset. The Q2 controllers accommodated this with the ring, but these new, compact ones do not so the tracking field has been narrowed tremendously. If sports/workout games are your thing, the option is to stick with the Q2 or drop the cash pro controllers. This is particularly awful if you've just dropped $500 on the latest and greatest headset. In the case of golf, you have to buy an attachment that aligns the front of the controller with the headset cameras. Another expense. Folks that only play games in which the controllers are held one way may not see this as an issue because for them it isn't. But there is a large community of sports/workout games/apps users that have found the experience with these controllers to be abysmal. Thanks for the review. I appreciate your point of view but think you really let Meta off off the hook with regard to the (poor) design of the Q3 controllers. The solution (which they will never employ but should) would be to add a profile that enables the Q2 controllers to be used with the Q3. That would eradicate the problem immediately.

Not sure if I've missed it but pricing for this thing is NOT OK given the garbage stock strap and awful battery life. Elite strap with battery 150 bucks = absurd. I ordered the bobovr strap which of course isn't in stock anywhere. Until then, it is more of a sidegrade than upgrade to my (halo strap) quest 2. Yes, the lenses are better and I do notice the FoV increase, but the resolution is still subpar for things that are off in the distance. In the meta home environment I barely see a resolution difference between quest 2 and 3. This thing has way too many shortcomings and feels rushed.

Comfort definitely is one of the biggest shortcomings of the headset. Regardless of the resolution, the headset definitely isn't comfortable enough to use it as a monitor replacement. The headset is quite heavy and particularly front heavy. Out of the box the stock strap is uncomfortable as hell, but even if you replace it with a decent strap with a counterweight, it's still too heavy to want to use it for many hours doing productivity style tasks. If you have no choice (actual VR/MR experiences) then you can tolerate the discomfort, but if all you are doing is working on a monitor anyway then it makes more sense to just do so directly rather than with a headset on.

Quest 3 is a heck of a lot more comfortable than PSVR2, using the silicone interface, imo. PSVR2 hurts to wear, due to the awfully tiny sweet spot which forces you, depending on your head shape, to have the front visor resting at the bridge of your nose, and there's NO padding. It's horrible. You have to fight through the pain, and that isn't fun. What was Sony thinking!?...Releasing a tethered headset, with fresnel lenses, and the comfort level of a Medieval torture device, in 2023. They dropped the ball hard, straight out of the gate. This headset will forever remain niche with poor to mediocre sales. It's also bulky, and those giant rings encapsulating the controllers look terrible too, and i hate how it's display trades motion clarity for brightness. The reality is, it doesn't matter how many incredible games it gets(like RE Village, RE4, Moss: Book 2 etc), because it's tarnished by a handful of idiotic design/feature decisions that the vast majority will not be able to get on board with. Quest 3 nearly corrects all of my nagging issues and then some, it's practically a home run for a budget consumer headset. I just wish it had OLED-blacks, richer vibrant colours, eye tracking & Foveated Rendering to utilize more power, adaptive triggers, better haptics and more 3rd party support from JPN devs like Capcom etc. But then you're looking at well over a grand(CAD). enter the Quest 3 Pro, in 2025 i guess. ;)

I don't understand the love for the Index. I was among the very first to get it, and at that time, it was amazing. I had only ever had a Vive, so the upgrade was massive. Soon after, the Quest 1 came out and I immediately bought it. The Quest 1 was obviously not visually on the same level, but it was cool to finally have a truly standalone VR headset, so I was content with my purchase. But then the Quest 2 came out... The Quest 2 immediately made me want to completely replace my Index, but the only thing holding me back was the controllers. I needed to be able to track my hands without needing to see them, so I could not put my Index (and it's horribly horrid Knuckles) back in the box quite yet. And then the Quest Pro came out... Now I was not about to spend a ridiculous $1500 on a failed project, but those $300 Pro Controllers?... Oh yes, indeed. Now I had finally obtained the last piece of the puzzle I required to put the Index back in it's box. Now that I've upgraded to the Quest 3, there is beyond no reason to ever even think about glancing at my Index again. The Quest 3 is vastly superior in every way, especially when paired with the Pro Controllers. It disturbs me that I keep hearing people mention other headsets, especially garbage overpriced headsets like the Bigscreen HMD and the Pico. The only people mentioning those headsets, as if they are a valid option, either hate Facebook (which I'd understand) or own shares of the companies selling those garbagely overpriced headsets. I do wish the Quest 3 kept the Pro's eye-tracking though...

This is a great Indepth video for the Quest 3. Virtual reality headsets are still in the early days compared to what they will be 10-20+ years from now. Much like the early days of home computers in the early days in 1980s (Apple II, C64, PC) or gaming systems (First gen 2600, Nintendo, Playstation). Or, if you look back at the first cell phones in the early 1990 that at best could store 10 contacts. In those early days the technology was too expensive or did not provide enough functionality that made the technology appealing enough for the mass public to adopt (ie The Tipping point). There will come a day where virtual reality will be huge much like the smart phone is today, but for that to happen the technically needs to improve many fold so that is far more useful and compact. It needs to be reduced to the size of typical glasses. Maybe like in the movie "Brainstorm" where the majority the hardware is not in headset, but remote device and the headset is small simple display device that does not interfere with regular activity.

I might be the only person who finds the Quest 3 stock headstrap *okay*. I can thread my long ponytail through the Y-strap easier than other options and effectively have load-bearing hair, and it's fine for 1-2 hour sessions unlike the Quest 2's stock strap. Passthrough/MR on the Quest 3 mostly only makes me jealous of the future. Technically it's a big leap, but practically it still feels mostly for popping out of VR, as opposed to enhancing your physical space with AR. Hand tracking intentionality also feels like a huge hinderance, I wish I could just pin a window to a corner of my vision and toggle hand tracking with some kind of gesture.

Excellent work as always. Just signed up to your Patreon, because you give the whole VR Community hope for the future. Truly a light in the darkness that is the road to more enjoyable VR. I still love my Quest Pro alongside my Quest 3. The main downside to the pro is no matter how much juice you can give your headset, you only get 4 hours out of the controllers. :D Having both the PRO and the 3 helps, because even if the Pro's controllers go out, I can just switch over to the 3 while the PRO takes a nap. :D The brightness of the PRO really helps things look more real from an experience standpoint. I agree the local dimming can be a mixed bag, but the overall color and brightness just adds something missing from the Quest 3 for PC VR. If the next PRO has mini OLED with these kinds of lenses, it will be a new plateau of eye candy if they can get things bright enough on the high end to go along with those discrete black levels. Whooo Boy!

I still love my Quest Pro for gaming and more VR-specific applications. But the Quest 3 has much better pass-through and tracking, so for mixed reality prototyping specifically, the Quest 3 is much better.

- VRPanda has my favorite head strap solution for Quest Pro. The BoboVR head strap for Quest 3 has been the best for me so far compared to the elite strap. - I continue to feel that software is the problem. We keep getting newer fancier headsets, but no reason for most people to get one or use it regularly. - MR use cases still seem extremely limited. - No face tracking, no eye tracking, no body tracking, poor quality microphone, not good for social VR.

@SadlyItsBradley PLEASE, start a Kickstarter campaign to build the ultimate headset, then get some talented people and contacts. I am sure the whole community will support you. If there is one person that can do it, it's you. I see you like the Bill Gates or Steve Jobs of VR. Just do it man! You have the passion, the knowledge, the smarts and the respect of the whole community. We will forgive you if it does not work out. Just try please.

Hi Brad, awesome video! I love your in depth reviews and could listen to it hours on end. Maybe a podcast isn't the worst idea. Heard there is a lot of money in podcasting right now. Maybe spotify is looking to bloster their tech portfolio with one of the most hardcore VR tech pros ;)

Keep in mind the charger it comes with (18w charger) won't even be able to keep up with the power drain during games that require a lot of power. It can draw up to 26w of power. So you would need a faster charger. At the moment I'm using my phone fast charger which is 65w but still 5 volts DC so it works perfectly to cap the charge rate of the headset which is around 30w

With USB 3.2, you have a "DisplayPort 1.4 Alternate Mode" protocol (8K 7680x4320@60Hz or 4K 4096x2160@120Hz...compressed...) + data transfer (videos and data up to 20Gbit/s) + Power Delivery up to 60W. ....Meta has just forgotten that USB overs 3.0 exist....

Thanks althought its not much, but I do value all your honest reviews and Valve Index users orientation. This and the BSB still feel like midgen compared to Aero & Crystal, but these as well have their pros/cons like the Vive/Oculus had at the time until the Index came out and oh my how perfect it was/is

Let's talk about the software flaw of when you're trying to watch a movie or video on the browser and the headset loses tracking due to an inactivity and then a white head tracking dot shows up in the middle of the screen that you cannot be removed. How am I supposed to watch movies and videos comfortably???

I'm glad you touched on how bad passthrough still looks indoors for a lot of people. There are so many spruiking that it's "amazing" yet not wanting to honestly own up and admit it's extremely grainy in most circumstances. I'd happily buy a cheaper Quest 3 that completely removed passthrough. They need to use much better camera sensors for that feature to be convincing. Would be interested in hearing your opinions on the new Varjo XR-4.

Dont get me wrong, it is pretty bad but not that bad. i tested it at the gym. besides me looking incredibly stupid i had almost no issues, the one big issue being the quest not letting me freely move the screen in youtube full screen. i could walk around i could read the machine and generally work out with little issue. Reading the phone can be an issue depending on the brightness. The way id call the passthrough is like a 90s filter

I mean it’s better than I expected but I’m new to vr so really didn’t know what to expect. Though I didn’t expect to be able to very easily find anything like my phone for example with the headset on. I thought I’d have to take it off to answer a call etc. it’s not in 4K but i can see more than fine

Comin from a borrowed pico 4 to quest 3, I was happy for the most part until... I tried to screencast... why does it need Internet access! The pico 4 was so much easier and got more options to cast even to a browser on your phone. For a social company to not allow me to share my experience with family members living in rural areas made me so fking triggered... You can screen copy using 3ed party apps but it takes longer to setup and the cast is rotated. For that reason alone I am not buying a single game from their store, only pcvr since I will need the pc to share the experience either way : l

Below, you will find a lot of rambling about the optical stack of Quest 3 / Pro. Have fun! Thank you for pointing out the state of local dimming on Quest Pro! I thought I would be the only one feeling that it's more distracting than actually beneficial. Especially night skies and space had this obnoxious aurora effect (Backlight shifting constantly because it tries to illuminate the stars). I prefer having a uniform image over these pseudo improvements. Regarding the reduced luminance, my educated guess is that the Pro gets brighter because it's intended to be used with partial light blockers only or without any blockers. Because of that you will have to deal with a lot more ambient light compared to Quest 3 which you will have to combat by increasing brightness. Also, local dimming may allow for higher luminance because it's applied on small areas, similar to peak brightness ratings in current HDR monitors. VESA HDR 1000 certification specifically requires use of local dimming to hit that peak brightness. And lastly, quantum Dot is known to be an effective measure to reduce power consumption with screens as the available light is distributed much better than without. The vignetting is real, but it's much more manageable compared to the backlight bleed the Quest Pro had around the edge of the lenses. And so is the mura effect... It's unfortunate to notice it but it seems to be an issue with all headsets and not a case of silicon lottery. That at least gives me some peace of mind, so I don't get stressed over it. Again, it might be due to the lack of the Quantum Dot layer that we are seeing this.

1080p 2D digital screens is a deal breaker for me in AR. (Not that I wouldn't buy a head set like the Q3 for amazing VR). I was pretty disappointed that there is no software/hardware support for 1440p screens in general.

I hate local dimming on our 96" 4K TV. It's annoying as frig whenever there's anything light on anything dark because it makes these obvious glare rectangles that totally defeat the purpose so I always disable that garbage. If they had made the local dimming higher resolution it wouldn't be so bad, but because it's such horribly low resolution on our TV, resulting in these huge rectangles of glare, I can't help but wonder why they even bothered putting it in there. It looks like it's 32x32, which is demented on a 96" TV. It should be more like 128x92 or something, so that the glare is more localized, and perhaps applying some kind of antialiasing too so that it's not these clear giant bilinearly-filtered-looking pixels. On our TV it's these stupid rectangles of light, like someone stretched a little square image up with bilinear filtering across the screen, so gross. Yeah, you definitely don't want that garbage in VR, even at a higher resolution, because you'll still get stereoscopic discrepancy between the dimming zones due to them being in screenspace rather than scene/world space like the actual pixels are.

I think i totally agree with this review, except for 1 thing. I also thought that having the battery not in the back was a bad idea, but the Quest 3 is so power hungry, that you really need at least a 10000mah powerbank in the back. The irony is that when you have that powerbank in the back, the headset becomes perfectly balanced and actually feels lighter on your head. So at hindsight it was a really good move.

Well it is now May 2024. I enjoy my Quest 3 for doing sitting down SIM Racing games. Controllers only used for menus, etc - no fast movements. The color passthrough is much better now with past 2 updates - much clearer. I connect my headset via a USB link cable and all my SIM racing games seem to have no problems. I did change my head strap to a BoboVR S3 Pro and it also provides a nice larger capacity battery for longer play times. Thanks for your Quest 3 review and take care.

10-bit color depth being equally important as angular resolution has got to be a joke. Then again, people being people, I can see it becoming the next over-hyped nonsense everybody's running after - like FOV a couple of years ago.
