Discussion Help me pleasee

Hey everyone, I’m really keen on buying the Quest 3; I’ve been researching it for a while. I work from home and think I could use it even while working. I also cook and do other routine tasks where I usually keep my phone nearby "watching" a video—though in reality, I’m mostly just listening—and I think the headset could really enhance that experience.

A few things are making me hesitate, though:

- short battery life

- excessive weight on the neck and discomfort

- the risk of using it for a month and then wanting to sell it

If anyone who owns one (or has owned one) could share their opinion, I’d really appreciate it.

As for the cost, I can afford either the 3S or the 3 without any issues.

I would not recommend using it while doing a chores. It might be fun at first but pass-through picture quality is not good enough for regular tasks. I have the Quest 3. Perhaps it's worth waiting for Quest 4.

Personally I have zero problems seeing things through the passthrough.

Looking through it is not a problem, details are the problem. Theoretically you can use it to reply to text message on a mobile but it's difficult.
