Meta Quest 3S VR Headset ($299)
The whole family will love getting in on the fun (and mild chaos) of the Meta Quest 3S. I’m living proof; my camera roll is packed with videos of my mom, dad, husband, and younger cousins flailing their arms playing Beat Saber, which is like Guitar Hero meets lightsabers in VR. And that’s just one option — there are tons of games that instantly transport you to another world, all without leaving your living room.
Some people even use it to work out, which is a lot more fun than a treadmill, if you ask me. One of our editors swears an earlier version of the headset helped her “find joy in working out.” Get more details about what that looked like in our Meta Quest 3S VR Headset review.
Editor Quote: “I know what you’re thinking — VR? And yeah, I was skeptical, too. I’m a far cry from a tech wiz. Up until last year, I still had an iPhone 7. And while it took me a moment to get my bearings in the world of Meta, I have to say, I haven’t had fun being active like this in . . . ever?” — Lee Musho, branded content editor
