When Meta unveiled the Quest 3, it did so to a little bit of pushback, because of the price hike that came with that new virtual reality (VR) headset – which otherwise undeniably made some big strides forward in many areas. That new price meant that to satisfy those looking for a more affordable entry into VR, older hardware still beckoned.
So, a good while later, we got the Quest 3S, on review here, which is transparently Meta's way of offering a cut-price option for those with lower budgets, missing out some of the bells and whistles of its more expensive sibling. Thanks to some smart shortcuts, though, it feels like a terrific bit of value if you're not a huge VR aficionado – and certainly one of the best VR headsets on the market.
