    What fun So far this is a terrific product. I am a little old to even be into it but on the other hand I meetup with my kids and we watch movies together. I always dreamt of life as George Jetson. It may get old but so far I am having a ball with it. Imagine then how easy it is to use. I was young when George Jetson was in production.

    The beauty is no wires, but do think its simplicity does limit this product due to lack of decent storage of both 32 or 64gb storage, and 5 GB is lost due to operating system and inbuilt apps, the 32gb version your left with 23gb.

    I am loving this thing! The optics are crystal clear. It was easy to set up and get working right away and I've had a blast watching videos in 360 and playing games. It's comfortable when wearing it for extended periods of time and I can leave my glasses on (which was huge for me). I 100% recommend the Oculus Go!

    Bought as a present for my son. He has had a blast with it. I tried it out to just to experience VR and it is quite amazing. Got a great sale price on it so very pleased. Well worth the money spent. Lots of games and other virtual experiences to be used on it.

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 9 year old son. After seeing it advertised on commercials I was excited to try it myself. We love it. The rollercoaster apps makes me nauseous but it looks and feels like the real deal. The 3D graphics are awesome and the games are fun. I highly recommend as entertainment for all ages.

    This was the best Christmas gift my husband could’ve asked for. It’s absolutely hilarious watching him dart around bumping into furniture as he plays n act out while he’s playing with his oculus. Now he keeps asking for all types of accessories for it..!

    fast, fits well over my thick glasses, better than any of the vr headsets that use iphone 6s imo. this stand alone plus wand like cotoller is way cool. graphics are slightly sub par . the battery run time is short (2 hrs depending on power drain) but the small battery helps keep weight down.

    We bought this for our 9 year old daughter this past Christmas. We were looking for a VR headset around the $150 price point and were excited to see this one available. She has been very happy with ir. My biggest concern was the smaller storage on this version, but so far it hasn't been an issue.

    I bought this for my 9 year old son for Christmas and he LOVES it. I have used it a few times and it works great. The only downside is the battery life is so little. There are tons of free games and ways to interact with it, it just sucks that you have to charge it so often.

    This is a great first step for someone who isnt prepared to spend a lot of money on vr yet If you are just buy the oculus quest If not enjoy a remarkable amount of games Streaming your desktop and an internet browser that does exactly what it is supposed to do

    We got this for our 14 year old who watches a lot of YouTube. The Go makes that easy and fun. Keep in mind that while there are some VR games for the Go, it's not built for gaming the way the Rift is. Nor is the Rift an upgrade from the Go - they are really two different products for two different purposes.

    I bought this for my 11 years old son who likes video games, this was a great choice for him. It has great VR quality, good sound and easy set up process. Although we wish it did come with two remotes it was a great buy compared to the others and if your barely getting into VR.

    What I like about this headset is that it's easy to take on the go and operate in locations you wouldn't otherwise be able to use VR. While other VR sets demonstrate more capability and performance, the Oculus Go works perfectly well and it's versatility makes it the better choice for certain scenarios.

    I have always had a desire to try out vr. However not owning a high end phone or pc left me without a real option. This is what I have been waiting for. Everything is in the oculus so anywhere I want I can play around with vr. I love it and if you want a cheaper alternative to rift then buy this now.

    I was a bit hesitant in the purchase but I heard from others that it was good. After the easy setup, I had it on and was enjoying the VR experience. This is not a high end graphical experience but it does a good job at simulating the VR experience.

    I am senior citizen so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to learn how to use this. Not so! Easy to follow instructions in the app and now I'm having a ball with it. Not 5 stars because I have trouble adjusting the fit - I'm sure I will figure it out.

    I purchased this headset as a beginner to the world of VR Entertainment. I was surprised at how easy it was to set up at home. About two days after purchasing with minimal use, the remote would not connect to the headset. Anyone familiar with this knows that without a remote the headset is practically inoperable. After following all the suggested tips provided with the headset instructions I contacted oculus support. After about 3 emails, two phone calls, and a week of waiting I finally heard from someone in support. First they walked me through the same steps I already followed provided in the owners manual. After another 3 weeks of emailing back and forth, I was finally informed by oculus support that the remote would need to be replaced.... only after I pay to ship it to their headquarters, and wait another 2-3 weeks for them to analyze the remote prior to sending a replacement. After politely telling them that I would like a replacement remote as soon as possible since I’ve owned this headset for 6 weeks and it’s been inoperable for 5 weeks they told me there was no other option and I could return it where I bought it if I wanted too. Which I did promptly. Although i was past the 15 day return window, Best Buy gladly accepted the return after informing them about my experience with oculus.

    We got this because my 6yo son was asking for one. After a long research, we decided a stand alone unit was best for us. We couldn't be happier with the purchase. Plenty of apps and games to choose from. Graphics are just as I expected. I havent experienced any issues at all so far.

    Just put it on, plug in headphones or not. You are on your way to VR. If you are a gamer there are more sophisticated products out there. This is for evey day use. It is also much more inexpensive. Lose yourself in VR.

    I bought the Occulus because of being able to watch anywhere. 1st virtual reality purchase so didnt know what to expect. My daughter loved watching the Nutcracket live in Moscow & talking with other Avatars at the event. Would highly recommend.
