VR has had a few false starts, but the Meta Quest 3 is the headset to take virtual reality to the next level. In our Meta Quest 3 review we called it "one giant leap for consumer VR" and nine months later it's still blowing us away.
What makes the Meta Quest 3 such an outstanding headset is that it offers excellent VR quality, without the need for a PC. It's backward compatible with a library of over 600 Meta Quest 2 games and all you need to play them is to pick up the headset and controllers, choose your play boundary and go. It's that easy to use.
You can connect the Meta Quest 3 into a PC to access many, many PCVR, wirelessly even. But it's the Quest 3's performance as a stand-alone, wire-free VR headset that makes it such a worthy purchase, a must-buy at $70 off. If you've been using a Quest 2, you won't regret this upgrade. And if you're new to VR, you've got a whole world of wonders to look forward to.

✅ Buy it if: You want a VR headset that gives you pick-up and play VR without the worry of wires, but can also double up as a PC VR headset. It's a great upgrade from the Quest 2 and is equally suited to newcomers to VR. And thanks to this Prime Day VR deal it's never been cheaper.
❌ Don't buy it if: You want an absolute powerhouse of a VR headset and intend on using it exclusively with a PC. If you can afford the extra $500-600, consider the Valve Index. If you've got a PS5 the PSVR2 might be tempting but Sony's support for it seems to be waning.
