The Meta Quest 3 has a fantastic core experience, but its design has plenty of cost-cutting compromises. It essentially passes the buck onto you to upgrade your Quest 3 and fix its shortcomings, except that Meta's official Quest 3 accessories are painfully expensive. That's why I'd recommend you stock up on these Black Friday Quest accessory deals, instead.
The Meta Quest 3 costs $200 more than the Quest 2 — owing to its major performance and visual upgrades — so spending more on accessories to resolve its issues can feel like a rip-off. That's why we built our list of the best Quest 3 accessories from third-party brands; they're accessories we've tested and would highly recommend, without the Meta label that seems to double the price.
