Meta Quest 3S.

Meta Quest 3S is the value play: around $300, but it still runs the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and 8GB of RAM, so it can power the same experiences as the Quest 3. The main compromise is the display sharpness, but for VR newbies that difference usually won’t matter much.

Pros

+Excellent price for an entry-level VR headset
+Same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip as Quest 3
+8GB RAM and access to the same Meta Quest store apps and games
+Comfortable fit and solid Touch Plus controllers
+Works for standalone VR and PC VR (USB-C or wireless)

Cons

-Lower resolution screen (same panel as Quest 2), not as sharp as Quest 3
-No built-in headphone jack (requires adapter or wireless headphones)
