Quest 3S brings with it an undeniable value considering its price and capabilities. But many longstanding gripes apply here just the same.

Unlike the Meta Quest 3, the Quest 3S doesn't have a 3.5mm audio port. In other words, you won't be able to connect wired earbuds to the Quest 3S, but it's not necessary. The audio that emanates from the Quest 3S is crisp and sharp, and it gets sufficiently loud, too.

It’s fair to say, then, that thanks to the newly-released Meta Quest 3S – coming in hot with the same amount of storage space wrapped neatly in a baseline $299.99 price – mixed-reality gaming is finally approachable to everyone who might have been in the market to upgrade from the Quest 2.

I reviewed Meta's Quest 3S, a budget VR headset with mixed reality and AI, to test its quality and value as an upgrade or a first headset.

The Meta Quest 2 has been a faithful VR companion to many, but here's why it's time to make the jump to mixed reality with the Quest 3S.

Meta's new entry-level virtual reality headset has arrived, but you'll have to wait until October 22 to play Batman: Arkham Shadow.

This awesome bundle includes the max-capacity 512GB version of the Meta Quest 3 headset and its associated controllers, which normally sells for $650, but is now available under $500 at Amazon. The added Batman: Arkham Shadow and 3-month trial of Meta Quest+ is an additional $70 value dropped in for free.

Meta announced that it will discontinue the 128GB version of the Quest 3 VR headset, and drop the price of the the 512GB by $150.
