Meta debuted its new, cheaper headset during its Connect event on Wednesday. Dubbed the Meta Quest 3S, the company promised it has great performance despite the lower price.
Mark Zuckerberg himself announced the Quest 3S at the Meta Connect event. It costs $299.99, which is a steep discount on the newly reduced-price $499.99 Meta Quest 3 or $999.99 Meta Quest Pro.
Meta said the headset could do pretty much anything most folks want to use a headset for, such as watch a movie, immerse yourself in a concert, or play games.
Meta has a detailed page on the different specs of its headset line, but the more expensive headsets, in general, have better lenses, wider fields of vision, and some different features available to them. But still, the Quest 3 does seem like a good option for people looking for a cheaper headset.
“Quest 3S is a big step in making mixed reality more accessible, and we hope you’re as excited as we are about the future of this technology,” the company said in a statement.
