Now, an update is rolling out to Meta Quest headsets with some helpful improvements.

Taken together, these improvements should make it easier to, for instance, see fine details (i.e.

phone notifications and other small text) without removing your headset.

Passthrough is also less grainy in low-light conditions, which should be helpful for late-night gaming.

The update also adds experimental support for external microphones on the Quest 3.

You still cant connect a microphone to the 3.5mm audio jackthat port is reserved for wired headphones.
