    My First VR Experience

    This is my first experience with VR and I find it quite exciting. Some of what I watched is not very clear but other is clear and very engaging. I like that the headset does not need to be wired, however, the battery doesn't last very long.

    The VR viewer was purchased for the classroom at my school. The students who attend do not have the finances to go many places. This viewer allows the students to visit many field trips around the world. It stimulates learning and engaging them constantly when used.

    No cords or PC required which is nice. Need a smartphone for the setup, but that’s it. Battery life is about 2 hrs so its good for casual use. Great toy for short bursts of entertainment. Movies are great on this. Only downside is about 3 hrs for a 0-100% charge.

    I own, both the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive and this portable Oculus Go met my expectations. the 3d movies look incredible, This is great for Netflix. games look great! No positional tracking but that's ok! Image is sharper than my Rift. for $200 this is a no brainer. get it now.

    Excellent introduction to VR (after trying out cardboard toys) Flight programs smooth and fairly good simulation, once you get past the "What am thinking" approach to flipping switches and other mundane tasks. WingSuit experience fun as long s I don't launch myself off the couch!

    I purchased the Go after using a buddies unit. Then I read the reviews for the quest and thought I should upgrade and returned the Go. This VR headset is so cool. It really gives you the feel as to whether or not you will enjoy the VR experience.

    This is fantastic for media (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) it’s not the best for games, but you’ll pay a lot more for a gaming VR headset. It’s not a totally mind blowing experience, but for $200 it’s a really solid entree into the VR experience

    It's a cool platform, thats almost there... resolution is not what I would want to make it usable more often. Movies from netflix and plex aren't good enough to be a viable option.

    I am very happy about my purchase of Occulus Go. It is my entry into the VR world. I didn' t expect the way you get involved into a completely new reality as this. The price was great and I have many different platforms to choose.

    Oculus Go changes how I watch YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. Every day I check what game is on sale with the daily deal. When reading reviews people say the games are Ok, I disagree. One of the game is now probably one of my favorite game, because of the experience.

    If your looking to get into VR, this is a great choice. Watch Netflix or kill zombies this little thing will do it all. Small down side is battery life, if you can get a solid 5 hours this thing would be amazing.

    I bought this VR with grant money to start learning VR and AR reality for education. This is EXTREMELY fun! The Oculus is easy to set up, apps are easily paired with my phone and there is so much learning instead of gaming. Great device.

    Bought two Oculus Go's for my teenage kids. Great "starter" VR head set!! Beware, your teens may want a higher end model after using the Oculus Go, especially if they are into gaming. Now my son really wants a Oculus Quest for Christmas. The Oculus Quest's price isn't too bad either, compared to the other higher end VR gaming head sets. I really wish they could have used a demo headset at Best Buy. FYI- you can go to the Oculus website for Demo locations in your area. If your a gamer I suggest you go strait for the Oculus Quest. If you want to "feel out" VR first before spending big money, then the Oculus Go is for you. Overall it's a pretty good buy, for the money!!!

    This virtual reality items has been great during the coronavirus pandemic. It has given us something really exciting to turn to when we get tired of watching TV. Plus my husband was able to play games with our son from a distance.

    Charge life leaves a bit to be desired so you're gonna want to keep an extension cord with the set as the charging cord is only 3 feet long. Can't use it while plugged in at that length. You'll also want a case.

    I was looking for a VR System that did not need a computer to run, and this fit the bill perfectly. My son loves it and has downloaded numerous games. The battery life isn’t super long, but it’s more than enough to play games.

    After using a very basic system with my smartphone, I purchased the oculus go with low expectations knowing I could return it if it was not as good as advertised. I thoroughly enjoy the system for about a hour at a time before the battery gets low.

    Already cut off by the knees by Oculus, I really enjoyed my Go and use it till this day. Just watched a NASA launch. Perfect for TV and Movies on a personal or shared level with Bigscreen. Too bad it's been discontinued.

    This Oculus VR headset is really easy to use and set up. It’s great for streaming movies and playing games. However if you’re an advance player the oculus quest or rift is the best option!

    Comfortable to wear and easy to setup. All of my friends and family that have tried it enjoyed the experience. Graphics are clear and I suffered no motion sickness. Wish the battery lasted longer than 2 hours but I am sure future models will be better.
