Having just launched the Meta Quest 3 and the 3S, the brand has two ways to make it incredibly easy to get that festival feel from the comfort of your couch. Specializing in “mixed reality,” both headsets make it easy to scroll and do multiple things at once — whether that’s scrolling on Instagram or watching a sporting event at the same time as you’re catching, say, Lady Gaga performing “Abracadabra.” For Coachella, the headset makes it easy to arrange your screen to either feel like you’re in the theater or at the festival while watching it live on YouTube.
The entire experience is much more elevated than simply watching a YouTube video on your phone. The YouTube app that you download from the Meta Quest allows you to explore all of the videos in 8K resolution. This also goes for 3D and 360-degree content, so it’s truly like being there in the crowd.
The headset itself is super comfortable and the visuals can be adjusted very specifically to your preferences so that you’re seeing it as clearly and as vibrantly as possible. You’ll also be seriously impressed by the huge field of vision, which really makes it feel like you’re there.
If there’s a particular artist who you and your friends love, you can even invite them to watch with YouTube Co-Watch. This allows you to view the same content at the same time as friends, so it’s like you’re there together — even if you couldn’t afford the price or time off for a ticket to go to Coachella together this year. The co-watch feature allows you to invite up to seven people to watch content with you.
If you’re wondering what it will be like before weekend two, check out all of the playlists of performances on YouTube, but make sure you download the app from the Meta Quest for the full experience.
Here are both versions of the Meta Quest — both of which are cheaper than a ticket to Coachella.

If you’ve tried the Meta Quest 2, you’ll be super impressed with the upgrades, especially in terms of visuals. In fact, the resolution is nearly 30% better than it was in the Quest 2, and this version also features 4K and Infinite Display.
This headset is also equipped with a high-quality pancake lens that offers improved sharpness for all visuals. The display is super enhanced, which is great for Coachella — you’ll feel like you’re there in the desert. It has a 110-degree horizontal display and a 96-degree vertical display.
There are also improved comfort features such as the new headset and strap design. The strap is soft and adjustable to avoid putting pressure on your face while you’re wearing the headset. The sound is incredibly loud and crisp — even bass notes — which is particularly exciting for Coachella viewing.
Finally, it has 512GBs of storage space, so whether you want to game or watch movies on your headset in the future, it has the capacity to display and store them without interruptions.

If you’re not looking to invest fully in the 3, the 3S is still a truly solid option. It offers 128GB or 256GB storage options, so you’ll be able to accommodate any games or apps you want. For resolution, it offers 1832×1920 pixels per eye, and it has an adjustable fresnel lens.
It also has a 96-degree by 90-degree field of view, which means you’ll still be able to feel like you’re there in the moment.
