The Meta Quest 3S is the cheapest model of VR headset so far, and just as powerful as the Meta Quest 3, making it perfect for first timers.
Meta Quest 3S – cheap is relative The new model of Meta Quest headset is considerably cheaper than the last one but are the compromises it has to make worth it? When we reviewed the Meta Quest 3 last year, we described it as ‘the best value VR headset’ ever. That was true, at the time, but it still costs £480, which is a not insubstantial amount of money.
The field of view is also narrower than the Quest 3 and for some reason the 3S goes back to adjusting the distance between the lenses, to suit your face/eyes, with just three fixed positions, rather than letting you adjust it manually with a dial – which can make it very difficult to get the focus just right. Also, despite being 1 gram lighter than the Meta Quest 3, the 3S is noticeably bulkier and sticks out further from your face. So, it ends up feeling heavier even though it’s actually not.
