NOTE: All meta quest 3 accessories I’m recommending in this video are ones that I’ve personally tested, and I can confirm that it made a real difference to my gameplay experience, hence why I think they are the best accessories for Meta Quest 3.

00:26 - Meta Quest 3 Silicone Facial Interface
The silicone facial interface is probably one of the best accessories for the Meta Quest 3 as it’s easier to clean and much more hygienic than the standard fabric material that comes with the device. To clean the Meta Quest 3 silicone cover, I simply just wipe it down with either an anti-bacterial wipe or use some paper towel with an antibacterial spray after a long gaming session.

01:31 - Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap
When it comes to comfort, the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap is a game changer. I’ve tested several battery-powered head straps, including the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap with battery and alternatives like the Bobo VR M3 Pro and Kiwi Comfort Strap.

Overall, the benefits you can expect from buying a head strap upgrade include longer battery life and a more comfortable fit. For me, these 2 things alone make the Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap worth it and I’m super happy I made the purchase.

02:40 - Meta Quest 3 Carrying Case
A Meta Quest 3 carrying case (aka the Meta Quest 3 travel case) is essential for keeping your device safe and organized. The Quest 3 carrying case is certainly an upgrade from the Quest 2 version, offering better compartments for your controllers, charger, and the headset itself.

I’m not going to preach that the best carrying case for Meta Quest 3 is the one Meta made themselves, however, I do really love this one and as mentioned in my video, I like cohesion with my things which is why I chose to buy the Meta one over the cheaper options on Amazon and don’t regret spending the extra cash.

04:41 - Meta Quest 3 Active Straps
The Meta Quest 3 active straps are a fantastic upgrade over the basic wrist straps. These active straps keep your controllers securely in your hands during gameplay, providing peace of mind and better control. They feel like an extension of your hands, making your gaming experience more immersive. If you’re using your Meta Quest 3 for exercise or fitness, these straps are a great addition. You can find third-party alternatives, but I like to stick with Meta accessories for the cohesive look.

06:01 - Google Chromecast
Casting your Meta Quest 3 to a TV is an amazing feature, especially when gaming with friends. The Meta Quest 3 only works with Google Chromecast, so if your TV doesn’t have Chromecast built-in, you’ll need an external Google Chromecast device. I recommend picking up a Chromecast with Google TV for easy streaming of your VR sessions.

07:49 - Conclusion
So, those are my top five Meta Quest 3 accessories that I believe every VR user should consider. Remember, I only buy accessories that enhance my experience, and these are all things that genuinely improve the way I use my device.
