Meta Quest 3S

The "newest Oculus" (now Meta Quest) in 2025 is the Meta Quest 3S, a budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 headset with enhanced mixed reality features and a lower starting price of $299.99. It features an XR2 Gen 2 chip, color passthrough, and support for PC VR gaming, making it a powerful option for those on a budget, though it uses older Fresnel lenses compared to the higher-end Quest 3. Key Features of the Meta Quest 3S Mixed Reality: Includes color passthrough and AI-powered depth mapping for interacting with virtual elements in your physical space. Performance: Uses an advanced XR2 Generation 2 chip for double the GPU power of the Quest 2, allowing for more seamless gaming and applications. Connectivity: Can connect to a gaming PC for access to the Steam VR library. Audio: Improved spatial audio, reduced distortion, and better bass compared to the Quest 2. Controller-Free Use: Supports controller-free hand gesture control and upper body tracking. Comparison to the Meta Quest 3 Lenses: The Quest 3S uses Fresnel lenses, while the original Quest 3 features newer, superior pancake lenses for better clarity and a wider sweet spot. Displays: The Quest 3 has higher-resolution dual LCD displays compared to the Quest 3S's single, high-resolution LCD panel. Headphone Jack: The Quest 3S lacks a headphone jack, which the Quest 3 includes.
