Best way to discover Virtual Reality.
||Posted .The Oculus Go is the best and lowest cost way to discover VR. Because it only allows for 2 degrees of freedom (Up, Down, Right and left) it isn't really for playing games in VR. It is much more like watching TV except that you have been transported through the screen and are totally immersed in what you are viewing. How real is it? Well if you get queasy on a real roller coaster, then you will get that same feeling riding a roller coaster in VR with the Go. Because of what your eyes see and your ears hear, your brain fills in the sense of motion and you can almost feel the G forces. You do sense motion. I recommend that you are seated when you try the Oculus Go for the first time. I picked one of the available home screens that has you overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. You are fine until you look down and see that you are about 40 feet above the ground with nothing underneath you and your brain thinks you should be falling. In that moment your sense of balance is disrupted, your body disregards that you are physically supported in the real world and you will start to fall over if not safely seated. That's how real this is. The Go is a very well designed and built headset with great attention to detail (Form, Fit and Function). Nothing else comes close to this remarkable experience for $200.00. Think about being in this video, flying with the Blue Angels. photo attached. Video available on Youtube.

I would recommend the Oculus Go to anyone!
||Posted .The Oculus Go is hands down the best product I have ever purchased. It is absolutely AMAZING for anyone of any age. I get butterflies in my stomach while on the roller coasters as if I was really on one. Everything you go to seems super realistic. I would definitely recommend everyone get the Oculus Go...

Awesome and Readily Immersive
||Posted .This standalone version is so much better than the VR connector to your phone. This is ready to go wherever you are without the risk of damaging your phone. From Netflix to Roller Coasters this is an all in one must have!!

Wow
||Posted .Easy set up. I watched a 360 video and was blown away. Watched Blue a velociraptor and felt like Jeff Gold Blume I was there. This has taken watching videos to the next level at a low cost entry fee.

I like it; room for improvement
||Posted .I originally invested in a Daydream VR. Pretty good inexpensive device for VR; but the overall experience depends on how good your phone is on the VR side. My phone, while awfully great as a smartphone, just didn't cut it as the "brain" for a VR headset: stutter at times, overheated after 20 minutes, and the display shifting was a HUGE problem. None of these things is a problem with the Oculus Go. 100% smooth playback every time (so far); it warms up, but not frighteningly so like a smartphone sandwiched in the Daydream; and, very importantly, once I sync the display it stays where it's supposed to. The fact that you don't regularly have to open & expose one side of the headset lenses to open air (dust & particles) like you do with the Daydream means less need to wipe & clean - and less THINGS to wipe & clean (headset lenses, smartphone display - and, in my case, eyeglass lenses w/the Daydream). The Go has a spacer you can insert if you will be wearing glasses, and it works well (a little tricky to put in - but luckily there's a video you can watch). Streams my 1080p & 1440p videos without a hitch. Overall I think this was a great investment. That being said, there are some cons that I find with this device. - pricing for storage: they should've released only a 64GB option, and for the price that the 32GB is selling for. You don't realize how little 32GB (more like 23GB after factoring out OS & basic apps) actually is, considering you're likely to be watching high-def vids on this headset. Of course, it's not much of a factor if you'll be using this primarily for streaming - whether from media apps like Netflix, or from your personal network. - Battery life: so far I only have utilized the headset to watch some sideloaded TV episodes, usually only 2-3 at a time. So while I haven't come close to reaching the advertised battery operating time of 2.5 hours, based on the percentage I see after watching 40-50 minutes of video I feelthat 2.5 is prob the best I can expect in one sitting. It'll be less if you're streaming; and it makes me sad to think that the first time I watch a feature film on this headset it could die/power off 5min before the movie ends. Hopefully a firmware update comes out in the future that can improve battery life. - "Sleep" mode: it's annoying that when you plug this headset in to charge, it turns on for a bit, and then goes into a rest state. If you jostle the headset, it could wake back up, sipping juice and extending the charge time. In order to fully turn the headset off, you have to put it on AFTER plugging in the charger, hold the power button, then use the remote to accept a full power down. Once you unplug the headset, it auto-powers on: so you have to go through steps again if you're not using the headset right away. It's a bit tedious. - Confirm access for sideloading: probably my biggest "con." Although I could stream videos from my personal network, I prefer to sideload videos into the headset storage. And b/c of the 20-23GB of free space, that can lead to frequent delete + add events. It's not QUITE as quick & simple as plugging a micro-USB cable between the headset and your computer: once you patch the headset in, you have to put the headset on, sync the remote, and then ACCEPT the connection to PC. Every... single... time.... Firmware update allowing you to either have the headset recognize/save the PC identity, or to disable the requirement to accept each time, would be fab. - No Bluetooth audio: this one could be big for some people. The headset does have pretty tremendous external speakers with great quality. But my preference is to use headphones so I can blast the audio without disturbing anyone. The headset has a 3.5mm jack; but for those who have gone totally wireless with headphones, this will pose a challenge. - No "HBO Go" app: really a childish gripe on my part. As mentioned, there's Netflix; Hulu and Showtime apps are also available. The HBO Go app would be great to have for "GoT." Aside from those: once you have your media ready and pop this headset on, it's a fantastic VR experience and you can get some great enjoyment out of them for media viewing.

Q: QuestionIs there support for additional microSD? I have a 256G card that I would plug in if available. 32G is pretty small
Asked by SisqoKid.
- A:Answer No. At this time, Go only offers those two internally limited configs. HOWEVER, I use a free app called Skybox to reach out to my PC's storage (more and bigger HD's). You simultaneously run the prog on both devices and point to your Skybox "Movie" folder on the PC where it is stored or your Windows "Video" folder, wherever, and you're good to go, no pun intended. Likewise, you can store the movie(s) on your smartphone if you don't have a wifi router. Then there are apps like Plex or Kodi that can also extend your storage from the PC (and I think iOS?) but I'm PC/Android myself. Personally, I consider my 32MB Go as a player only. Sure, you can fairly easily load a movie, watch it, take it off, load another, etc. But I consider the Go's internal memory as only its app storage. My media comes from a larger space like my desktop and/or my Freenas server box (with Plex). Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionDo you need a phone if not does it use a computer or like what?
Asked by Fredrickson.
- A:Answer You need a phone to set up an account and to sync downloads and such. It does NOT use a phone when in use. It is a stand alone set. Basically you use the phone to search for apps you want, select them and the headset downloads them. You do not insert the phone into it, nor are you downloading anything to your phone, nor is the phone used during operation of the VR set at all.

Q: Questiondose this need a phone, and dose in need wifi?
Asked by superty21.
- A:Answer From what I read you download an app that has all the games on it and bluetooth your phone or tablet to the headset and you can pick your game from the app. There are supposedly 100s of games to choose from plus if you have movies on your device you can watch the movie with the headset. You can YouTube it and watch people explain it.
