How to use headphones with Meta Quest
Meta Quest 3 supports both 3.5mm headphones, as well as USB-C headphones. To use standard headphones with a 3.5mm jack, plug the headphones into the audio port located on the left side of your headset (when facing the way you would wear it). To use USB-C headphones with Meta Quest 3 plug the USB cable into the charging port located on the left side of the headset, just behind the standard audio port.
Keep in mind, if you plug in two sets of headphones, only the headphones plugged into the 3.5mm audio port will work. USB-C headphones also won't work if the Elite Strap with Battery is plugged in.
You can also use Bluetooth headphones with your Meta Quest 3.
