Meta Quest 3S
The default first headset: everything that matters, at the lowest price.
Full breakdown →Bigscreen Beyond 2
107 grams. Your face, scanned. PC VR at its most extreme.
The 30-second version
A custom-fitted micro-OLED headset that weighs less than a quarter of a Quest. It needs a VR-ready PC, SteamVR base stations, and separate controllers — this is the enthusiast's second headset, not anyone's first.
Best for: PC VR veterans who already own base stations and want to forget they're wearing a headset.
What you should know
- Custom face gasket from a phone scan of your face — nothing fits better
- Micro-OLED blacks and 107 g weight transform long sessions
- Real total cost is ~$1,600+ with base stations and controllers
- No speakers or battery to carry — but you are tethered to your PC
