Carina D1 Magnetic Charging Dock Compatible with Meta Quest 3

***UPDATE*** I was contacted by seller and offered replacement. I received new charging dock within a day. Replacement works as it should. When works correctly it is great product not only keeps Quest charged but also serves as a stand. Looks cool and help to keep Quest and controller together and organize. Great customer service! I also have PRISMXR earbuds and they are working great. Highly recommend those products. Good concept, but…. I have bobovr strap. I positioned strap support but sometimes it takes multiple tries before it starts charging headset. It usually takes a while to align magnetic guide on headset with charging port in dock. When finally magnetic connection is made led stays green (even with battery low) or flushing orange. Other time it is showing that the headset is charging even when it is at 100 % charge. Then I have to lift the headset and put it down again so dock can recognize battery state. On a good side there are no problems with controllers charging and I don’t have to buy a new AA batteries. Bobo Vr strap with battery is heavier than original strap which can explain problems with positioning so this can be on me but whats worrying me the most is the issue with charging full battery or not charging at all while correctly attached. I am using it for less than a week and I will give it another. Maybe I will find “sweet” spot

**Update 7/16/2025** Elevated from 3 to 5 stars! PrismXR Customer Service immediately responded to me both through email response and here on Amazon. Great response and they took care of me. They stand behind their products! Highly recommend this dock and the controller grips that match. ------ *Original Review* Just received from 2025 Prime Day sales. Was excited as it seems to check all my desired boxes. Unfortunately, the dock won't charge the right controller (**edit 7/16/25 PrismXR CS took care of the issue and all is well now!**). Sent an email to PrismXR's support. Will update the review based on resolution. Pros: + Setup is easy + I like the footprint: Low height (6" at the Quest 3, 7" at highest on my elite style strap), compact width (slightly less than 9" across), and good use of the +/- 12" depth that is created by aftermarket elite headstraps + Comes with everything you need (including a 30W charging brick, decent length USB-C cable, rechargeable NiMH AA batteries and battery doors for both controllers) + Includes an attachable, for/aft adjustable, rear headstrap rest to support a halo or elite style headstrap + The new battery doors for charging fit more snug than the original controller battery covers + Compatible with PrismXR's controllers straps that don't need to be removed to charge the controllers Cons: - New out of the box my dock appears to be faulty. The right controller does not charge. Swapped left and right controller batteries to see if one was bad, but both batteries charge when in the left controller (**edit 7/16/25: PrismXR CS took care of me and all is well now!**) - Requires a stick on magnetic positioner for the bottom of the headset to attach to the dock's magnetic charging pins. Installing is easy with the included plastic alignment template and they also provide a spare, but not sure if this will interfere if you have a third party cover. Really hoping PrismXR's customer support is good and comes through with a resolution quickly. I really like the ease of use and compact footprint on my desk. Will update review based on their support.

I tried a couple of different charging docks, and this PRISMXR Carina D1 was the most compact, convenient and easy to use. It has a nice clean stylish design that displays the Quest 3 like an art piece, and keeps everything securely in place and readily accessible. When I'm done using my Quest 3, I just put my controllers and goggles on the dock, and it all connects and charges automatically without needing to plug anything in. It utilizes the Quest 3 bottom charging contacts so it leaves the USB-C port available so I can keep my BOBOVR S1 Pro head strap and extra battery plugged in. PRISMXR also includes rechargeable batteries for the controllers that charge in the dock, what a bonus! The dock has a back lift that supports a scooped back head cradle, and the front dock has room for my AMVR FC4A face interface that has positioning knobs at the sides. PRISMXR even includes a fast power supply and USB-C cable so the dock charges pretty quickly. This dock is pretty adaptable and works great for my Quest 3 setup. When I had an issue, PRISMXR responded and resolved very quickly with excellent customer support. They really stand behind their product. Great quality product and company.

This is, without a doubt, the absolute worst product of any type I have ever purchased in my entire life. The problem is all of the contacts are spotty, both on the controllers and the headset. There is a very loud BEEP that occurs when a device starts charging, and since the connections are spotty it beeps very loudly CONSTANTLY and never really charges anything. I can't count the number of times this piece of junk has woken me up at night. The magnetic spring charger for the HMD rarely aligns with the charging pins, so it can take a minute or more of messing around with the headset alignment on the dock before it actually starts to charge, and I'll often come back to the headset not charging at all and completely depleted. Additionally, sometimes the charging pins don't come up to meet the headset either because the spring is too tight or the pin housing on the dock gets stuck and I have to pry it out with a knife before trying fruitlessly to align the HMD on the dock. After only a few months the magnetic sticker on the HMD that engages the spring loaded charging pins on the dock no longer sticks. It falls off constantly. I contacted the company for a replacement and haven't heard back yet. It's honestly the most annoying and frustrating product I've ever purchased, but if it worked as intended it would be great. I cannot recommend this product. At all. Please avoid it. It's seriously one of the worst things I've ever purchased. Edit: I purchased the replacement magnet for $9.99. It comes with the alignment tool for application and two replacement magnets. I cleaned the application area with 99% IPA and allowed it to fully dry before applying the sticker with great force for at least 30 seconds. The first one fell off after a few hours. So did the second one. So the adhesive just isn't sufficient. When it was working, before both stickers fell off, both controller chargers were disconnecting constantly, which wasn't happening in the months of downtime when I didn't have a sticker applied to the HMD. This tells me that the included charging cable isn't even sufficient to charge all 3 devices at the same time. I'm gobsmacked at just how awful this product is. I'd give it negative 5 stars if I could. It is literally the worst thing I have ever purchased in my life. I've now wasted like $80 on this piece of junk and it's finally in its rightful home, in my trash can, and I could not be happier to finally be rid of it.

The PRISMXR Carina D1 fast charging dock does a lot of things right, and overall it’s a solid charging solution for the Meta Quest 3. This review is specifically for the version where the controllers don’t always sit correctly in the dock, which is an important distinction. Because of that issue, this lands at four stars instead of five. Starting with the positives, the charging performance itself is excellent. The headset charges quickly and reliably, and having a dedicated dock instead of cables scattered around makes a big difference in everyday use. Dropping the headset onto the dock at the end of a session feels clean and convenient, and it keeps everything organized and ready to go. The no-beeping design is a big plus as well. There are no annoying sounds when placing the headset or controllers on the dock, which is especially nice if your setup is in a bedroom or shared space. Build quality is good and feels premium enough for a Quest 3 accessory. The dock has a clean, modern look that fits well with the Quest’s design, and it doesn’t feel cheap or flimsy. It looks good sitting out on a desk or shelf and feels like a proper charging station rather than an afterthought. The headset connection is stable, and once placed correctly, charging starts as expected. Where this dock falls short is the controller seating. The controllers don’t always sit perfectly in their charging positions, which means you have to pay closer attention when placing them down. Sometimes they feel slightly misaligned, and you may need to adjust or reseat them to make sure they’re actually charging. This isn’t constant, but it happens often enough to be noticeable and a little frustrating. A charging dock should feel effortless, and the controller fit prevents it from being truly drop-and-go. Once the controllers are seated correctly, they do charge fine, but the lack of a consistently secure fit takes away from the otherwise polished experience. With better alignment or a more forgiving cradle design, this would easily be a five-star product. Overall, this is still a very good charging dock. It’s fast, quiet, looks great, and works well for the headset itself. If you’re okay with taking an extra second to make sure the controllers are seated properly, it’s a solid choice. With improved controller fit, this would be excellent. As it stands, four stars feels fair.

I've been using this charging dock for over a month and use my Q3 daily. I should note that I use AMVR grips and facial interface along with the BoboVR S3 Pro strap. Since I'm using aftermarket grips I'm unable to charge the grips in the dock. That said, I appreciate the inclusion of the rechargeable batteries - I charge them with a standard NiMH Eneloop charger I have and the included batteries charge and perform perfectly. Although I love Kiwi products, I find the PrismXR dock's form-factor superior and the fact it accommodates the BoboVR strap a significant plus. Setting the headset in the dock is fairly trivial but I always make sure it is seated properly for charging. One big plus this dock has over some of the competition is that it comes with a charging brick. I use the charging brick to power the dock and I use a separate 45w charger for the BoboVR's removable battery. If you own an S3 Pro strap, you're most likely comparing this with BoboVR's dock designed exclusively for the S3 Pro and their own grips. I haven't tried that dock (it was not available when I purchased this) but I note the Bobo dock is both more expensive and does not come with a charging brick (for the base model). Bobo makes good stuff so I assume it is decent but definitely not a great value. All said, I'm very pleased with the PrismXR dock. You've surely already seen it comes with a tiny adapter for the charging pins - you might need to use this depending on your strap. I'm using it and it works fine - I'm not inconvenienced or concerned about that at all. Ultimately this is a very well thought-out charging dock perfectly designed to accommodate a variety of Q3 straps. The price is significantly less than the Meta or Bobo docks and it works fine. The inclusion of rechargeable batteries is a big plus even if you prefer to use other grips (just make sure you have a proper battery charger). If you use the included grip covers you'll be able to charge the grips in the dock without needing to remove the batteries. I highly recommend this dock for most people--it is great.

I got this to replace one that was stolen off my porch… I LOVE the idea of it but the magnetic base that pulls it into place to wirelessly charge is particular. It is a LOT more convenient than pulling a USB-C cable and having everything spread out on the desk. Biggest problem is the magnetic charging adapter keeps falling off and stops charging the headset. I’ve tried to glue it on but it will not stay attached to the headset. I decided to return it because after requesting a replacement magnet and not getting a response from the manufacturer. Hope others have a better experience. I LOVE the idea, it’s just too expensive to keep on my desk as a paperweight

So... its compact, it charges your headset and it gives you rechargeable batteries in the controllers. It is probably the best charging dock of this type for the Quest 3 as the magnetic snap on for the charger is definitely a good idea. But... most ppl seem to be going with some sort of battery strap like one of the BoboVR straps or similar and don't really worry about the Quest 3 battery itself. So a charging dock becomes a little pointless when you're putting the headset down with a full or 90%+ charge on it every time and then dock the batteries separately. Mine also would not maintain a proper connection with my Quest 3 no matter what I did. The orange light on the headest would be on but the light on the dock would be alternating green/orange, random beeping and I don't really trust it with a $500 headset if its malfunctioning. The controller covers... not induction, magnetic. Doesn't really matter except you can't use grips and the covers themselves fit badly. They clip on, but they don't fit like OEM covers do. I also never got them to go above 60% according to the in screen percentages on the Quest 3 but that might just be a capacity difference vs a normal AA? Dunno. Its also so compact that putting the controllers in after you put the headset down is a pain especially if you have a halo headset. I like to put the headset down first so I'm not looking through the cameras when I'm putting all my stuff away. Tbth, just get a good set of grips and swap AA batteries whenever you need or buy eneloops with a wall charger if you have to have rechargeable. If you have a stock Quest 3 and aren't using any sort of battery strap, 1 - enjoy like 2 hours of playtime before having to recharge it and 2 - hope it connects ok then this is probably the best charging dock. For me, I'm returning it as its malfunctioning and the controller battery doors fit horribly and I'm grabbing a $25 AMVR stand and some $25 AMVR grips. Will hold my headset and halo strap nicely and I won't have to worry about any issues and I can use a good set of velcro strap grips with battery doors.

Tres bonne station de charge pour meta quest 3 J’ai achete les dragonnes de la même marque pour les manettes

**Edit** J'ai pris contact avec le service client et ils m'ont informé que je devais utiliser leur bloc-charge alors que j'utilisais toujours celui de Meta. Après 4 jours de test, la charge fonctionne correctement sans aucun problème. Je leur remets donc leur 5 étoiles et je tiens à les remercier pour leur excellent service à la clientèle rapide. ————————————————— Comme plusieurs de vous ici, j’ai un problème avec ma station de charge acheté le 28 décembre 2024, mon support ne charge pas le casque.. La lumière jaune clignote constamment et le casque émet un bip sonore.. Cependant la charge pour les manettes fonctionne. J'ai contacté le service à la clientèle de PRISM par courriel, si je n'ai pas de retour satisfaisant de leur part, je retournerai le casque à Amazon, me ferai rembourser et achèterai un modèle fiable d’un autre manufacturier. Je reviendrai pour vous dire le dénouement..

Prodotto eccellente... assistenza super... fossero tutti così i venditori
