Does the Meta Quest 3S have built-in speakers?

The Meta Quest 3S features built-in stereo speakers positioned directly in the headset, delivering clear and immersive audio without the need for headphones. With spatial audio support, the sound adjusts dynamically with head movements to enhance immersion.

1. Uses built-in stereo speakers

The Meta Quest 3S includes built-in stereo speakers positioned inside the side arms of the headset. These speakers direct sound toward your ears without physical contact, allowing for open-ear listening while staying aware of your surroundings.

2. Enjoy immersive spatial audio

The Quest 3S speakers support spatial audio, which dynamically adjusts sound direction based on head movement. This enhances immersion in games, videos, and 3D environments.

3. Connect external headphones if needed

If you prefer better sound isolation or more precise audio, you can connect external headphones:

  • Via Bluetooth, for wireless use
  • Via USB-C, using an adapter (Note: the Quest 3S does not have a 3.5 mm jack)

The Meta Quest 3S features integrated speakers with spatial audio, which are sufficient for most VR experiences. For advanced needs, Bluetooth or USB-C audio options are available.
