TOTALLY A MAY ZING! I am a tech enthusiast, who has owned and played with the Samsung Galaxy phone based Gear VR since its launch a few years ago. It was "okay", but limited in quality and performance. Earlier phones would often get overheated, with the audio and video cutting out of stuttering. Playing within VR on a phone was occasionally interrupted by email notifications and calls, it only supported a single controller, and the battery would run down quickly. It tied up my phone when others wanted to play ...it just wasn't an optimal experience. I considered upgrading to a standalone Oculus Go, but it still only supported a single controller, which really limited game options such as Beat Saber, etc. Then came Oculus Quest, I bought one for the family, and ...WOW! I can barely contain my enthusiasm! First, let's address the elephant in the room. It's not cheap. Cheap will get you a cardboard box, or the slightly better plastic phone-based VR headset (the best of these is Gear VR). This is immersive with six degrees of motion. The included (dual) touch controllers provide ample options to navigate the virtual environments and manipulate objects. The sound is projected near your ears, and sounds will move as you move, providing the user turn an ever more increased encompassing experience. ...there are standard 3.5mm headphone jacks on either side of the HMD for those who seek auditory privacy over realism. I like that you can set up a virtual boundary in your VR space, so as to not damage your surroundings or injury yourself. You set up a perimeter, and it warns you with a virtual wall/grid when you touch upon the limit of your safe area. I was originally considering the purchase of a floor-standing heavy-bag, to workout and fight off anxiety, but the up buying the 128GB Oculus Quest in the hope that it would serve as a tool, to help envelope and engage the senses of family members suffering from high bouts of anxiety, as well as seasonal depression. I am pleased to state that once the Oculus Quest is donned, and the virtual world is entered, runaway thoughts from the outside are pushed away for awhile. Games which engage, sight, sound and moment help to redirect anxious thoughts, forcing them to focus on the experience. Yes it is expensive, but it is SO worth it. It is far more versatile than a simple floor-standing heavy-bag (yes there are boxing games, and so much more), it also takes up far less space and is far more portable than a heavy bag. ;-) I highly recommend that those interested, seek out a location with a demo unit and experience it for yourself.

Always wanted to build my own VR gaming pc but after doing the math for the VR pc and VR headset it was cost prohibited. Once oculus announced the Quest I decided ,let me try it and boom the quest is awesome no wires to get tangle. Immersion is pretty good and games look awesome. Specially beat saber on 360 and Super Hot once you try them wired headsets will feel antiquated.

My wife was going to purchase the OQ for my birthday early July but decided against it with the cost and travel plans. Well after some research and a few nights of pillow talk she came home with it last night! Holy crap this system is so much fun. We completely ruined our weekend plans at the beach and have spent hours playing, lol A few tips, learn how to side load apps, it will help you get started without spending a great deal on games upfront. Eventually you’ll want the better paid games though. We purchased Beat $aber and side loaded a ton of extra songs, my wife and daughter love that game, I love the immersive features like YouTube VR. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. So far it’s a hit at the house and I look forward to having friends and family try it out. *note regarding the photo’s. I tie strapped a battery pack to the back strap. Not only does it keep the battery charged while playing it also helps balance out the weight.

Amazing piece of electronics! Recommend to anyone who can't afford or don't have a good enough PC to run a rift. Only drawback is the library of titles is still weak. Also I added a battery pack to back strap to help counter balance the front weight of the quest.

I ordered the Oculus Quest 128 K. It arrived within the week. Easy to set up. All 4 of my grandkids are trilled with VR games. They like the multiplayers in Scramble Sports. Their favorite game is Beat Saber. The VR headset is comfortable and the controllers work perfectly. I recommend it to any gamer that wants to be inside the game experience.
