    5.0 out of 5 stars BEST LINK CABLE
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024
    This is one purchase I was very skeptical of going with for the fact its sold by Meta. I assure you though this cable is these best link cable option. I have had multiple friends have issues with their third party cables not working properly and keep telling them to get this one. The price is a lot more yes but this cable offers really high bandwidth and the ability to charge while playing! This is at least with the Meta Quest 2. As for the new Meta Quest 3 it cannot out charge its consumption which I believe is a problem with that headset itself. The cable has a 90 degree to plug into your headset which makes it nice to run it back behind you when playing. It is a Type C to Type C cable but most pcs have a dedicated type on the back. Love this cable and will continue to use it with my Quest 2.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good cable, but I don't recommend it
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025
    I tried this out after buying the 3S. It's clearly a high quality cable. However, it's also a heavier-than-normal cable, and kind of ruined the VR immersion for me.

    As this was my first VR headset, I didn't realize that the wireless link had such good quality. For me, it was indistinguishable from the link cable.

    At this price point, it might be better investing in a wireless extender, or even better, installing an Ethernet-backed access point nearby, and using the wireless link instead. I ended up returning the cable and doing exactly that.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only cord you’ll need
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2025
    This product works great, I’ve never had any issues! You could play as much as your heart can handle and when you finally decide to get back to reality on the oculus quest 2 ( the only option I’ve tested ) your headset will be fully charged!
    I’ve had plenty of comrades who have ordered different link cables, in hopes of surviving the long hours of brain rot, all faulting to one unfortunate action… They end up dying in the front lines due to their virtual reality device dying of exhaustion and low battery!
    This cable doesn’t just provide the long lasting battery life and a connection to my computer. But it gives me hope to never return to reality it’s self!
    Therefore I provide this Amazon product 5 whole stars!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fast charging, but expensive
    Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024
    It charges fast (even for cellphones), but I wish it was a bit more durable. I feel like this would break like the other cable, and for $80, better to just use it strictly for the VR and to have someone watch you and prevent you from stepping on it or ripping it out

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Cable for Quest 3
    Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2025
    This is a nicely constructed cable from Meta that is the exact thing you need for your Quest 3. Unlike some non-Meta cables, this one is flexible and easy to handle. Packaging was outstanding, too.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The only way to connect to PC with Oculus quest 2

    I've tried air link before, but the smoothness and stability of the cable are unmatched, I know it's pricy but it's well worth it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Must be INSANELY careful…. Risky and fragile equipment.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2021
    Honestly. This product works great. The fault lies in the design. I’ve maybe used this thing for about 20-30 hours of gameplay, and I’ve had no issue. Well I just got done playing today and removed the usbc3 connector from my computer. I noticed the connector was a little loose so I kinda wiggled it a little bit to see if it was just like that or if it was broken and it fell right off. I really don’t understand, I’ve been VERY careful about this cable because it’s so damn expensive. It’s ridiculous.

    I’ve reached out to Oculus support because I’ve had it for a little over a month now, hoping I’m not just SOL and out $70.

    Will never purchase again, terrible design for the computer/laptop connector side. The headset connector is great and sturdy. (Added both sides in photos)

    Like I said, I was insanely careful with this product.
    I would make sure I was facing one direction the entire time so I wouldn’t pull or step on the cable. The design really needs to be rethought. Honestly just having the computer connector mimic the headset connector would be a huge upgrade to durability.

    Hopefully they re-think this design because it’s not worth the risk.

    Edit 6/23/2021

    I am sending the cable back through Oculus Report to exchange for a refurbished replacement through the warranty. Will update when I receive it. I also ordered a way cheaper alternative through Amazon. Will update how that goes as well.

    Edit: 7/1/2021
    I sent the cable back and UPS said they received it 6/25/2021. Haven’t heard anything yet.
    The cable I bought as a temporary replacement is way better than I thought. Quality wise it’s literally the same as the oculus cable, the only thing is it won’t charge your headset. But if you aren’t playing for more than 3 hours 30 minutes at a time you’ll be fine. This is the one I got: KRX Link Cable Compatible for Oculus Quest 2, Fast Charing & PC Data Transfer USB C 3.2 Gen1 Cable for VR Headset and Gaming PC. You’ll have to copy and paste the link. There’s no drop in quality of picture or performance, only downside is the charging. I recommend that cable as an alternative to this one. Another bonus is that it is USB to USBC3 instead of double USBC3.

    Edit: 7/13/2021
    STILL waiting on a replacement cable. They’ve confirmed they received my return but it’s been since 6/25/21, so not sure why it’s taking so long to send out a replacement. Terribly long time for support. Really glad I bought the other cable for cheap. Honestly it does everything but the charging, just get that one.

    Edit: 7/15/2021
    I’ve been contacted by a representative after I asked what was taking so long. I was told that the “Warehouse team is trying to locate your returned item so we can get the replacement to you.” So I guess we’ll see where it goes from here.

    Edit: 7/23/2021 -FINAL
    I was told by the Oculus rep that “the warehouse could not locate your return”. But they sent me a brand new cable anyways so that was good I guess. Disappointing that it took a month to get a replacement on such an expensive cable. Just go third party way cheaper and more reliable.
