Meta VR Price Drop: Quest 3S Hits $255

Meta is selling the Quest 3S virtual reality headset for $255.99. The price applies to certified refurbished units sold through the company's eBay storefront. The offer expires on November 8, 2026. Shoppers must enter the code SAVE20TECH at checkout to receive the discount.

The sale price is $94 less than the standard retail cost of $349.99. It is also cheaper than the $300 price tag seen on new units during Amazon's fall Prime Day event. Meta says the refurbished headsets are in like-new condition. Each device undergoes professional inspection and cleaning by the manufacturer before shipment.

The package includes original or new accessories. These items include a power adapter, wrist straps, and a glasses spacer. Buyers also receive a two-year Allstate warranty. The hardware sits between the older Quest 2 and the higher-end Quest 3 model.

The headset runs on the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip. It provides access to the same game library as the more expensive Quest 3. The device features full-color passthrough cameras. These allow users to see their physical surroundings while wearing the headset. Users can interact with menus using their hands or the included Meta Touch Plus controllers.

The Quest 3S operates as a standalone device. It does not require a connection to a personal computer or gaming console. This design suits casual gamers and new users. The display resolution and optics match those of the Quest 2. The field of view is narrower than the Quest 3 model. Reviewers note that the trade-offs are acceptable given the lower cost.

Other technology deals are available alongside the headset sale. Philips Hue offers its 80-inch Gradient Lightstrip for $83.16. That is a $115 discount from the regular price. The code OUTLET58 must be used when purchasing from Philips. The two-meter strip extends to 10 meters. It produces up to 1,800 lumens of brightness. Users can control effects via voice assistants or the Philips Hue Bridge.

Anker is selling its 10-in-1 Desktop USB-C Hub for $79.99. The price is $20 below the regular cost. The hub includes a built-in screen that displays charging speeds. It also functions as a digital photo frame or timer. The device features an HDMI port, DisplayPort, four USB ports, an ethernet jack, and slots for SD and microSD media.

Amazon lists the Orico PixCharge Plus power bank at $29.99. That is a $50 reduction and the best price to date. The 10,000mAh battery includes a 16-by-16 pixel screen. The screen displays animations and text via a companion app. The unit supports 22.5W fast charging. A built-in USB-C cable doubles as a carrying strap.
