If you\u2019re curious about virtual reality, Meta\u2019s Quest 3S is a good entry-level headset for dipping your toes in, especially now it\u2019s on sale in refurbished condition for $255.99 directly from Meta\u2019s eBay storefront<\/a> through November 8th when you use coupon code SAVE20TECH. For comparison, the headset recently dropped to $300 in new condition as part of Amazon\u2019s fall Prime Day event, and currently retails for $349.99.<\/p>\n

According to eBay, the certified refurbished headset is in \u201clike-new\u201d condition and has undergone professional inspection and cleaning by the manufacturer. More importantly, it comes with either original or new accessories \u2014 including a power adapter, a glasses spacer, wrist straps, etc. \u2014 alongside a two-year Allstate warranty.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3S strikes a middle ground between the Quest 3<\/a> and Quest 2. Like the pricier Quest 3, it runs on the speedy Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and supports the same library of games. It also comes with the same cameras for full-color passthrough, letting you interact with the world around you while wearing the headset. It comes with Meta\u2019s Touch Plus controllers, though you can also use your hands to navigate menus and interact with some apps. And because it\u2019s a standalone headset, you don\u2019t need a PC or console to play games.<\/p>\n

However, its display resolution and optics quality are closer to the Quest 2\u2019s, which, while good, means visuals are narrower and less sharp. Still, as we noted in our review, those trade-offs are easy to overlook given the price, especially if you\u2019re new to VR.<\/p>\n
