Almost one year out and the Quest continues to amaze me. Everyone who has even a subtle interest in VR (for personal or professional reasons) should buy one of these.
Sure, it doesn't have the graphical fidelity of PC VR, but developers are really hitting their stride with making the most of the hardware. The wireless freedom is just amazing, and so worth the tradeoff in graphics and performance.
If you can find one in stock, buy it right away. You will not regret this purchase...

The system and the experience cannot be described in words. You need to experience VR. The quest does everything right. But, expect to buy the headstrap accessory because it gets heavy on your head. Also, third party games are limited and expensive

Pro
-Relatively affordable, as far as VR systems go
-Completely wireless and untethered
-Adjustable eye width
-Magnetic battery covers are nice
-Built-in speakers work well
-Guardian system works well to warn you of safe room boundaries
-External camera view lets you see your surrounding w/o removing the headset
Con
-More expensive than most game consoles
-Storage can't be expanded
-Grips on control sticks are short
-Head unit strap feels unsecure in faster games ( like Creed )
-No full games included
-Included demos are very short
-Games are more expensive than expected
-Wireless download speed seems slow
-Graphical detail won't match up to PC- or console-powered VR sets
-Written documentation and instructions could be better
TL/DR
There have been cheaper VR sets, and better performing ones, but none come to my mind that offer the balance of price, visual quality, and convenience as the Quest. Though the $400 tag may seem expensive ( you can get a PS4 Pro for the money ), it's actually much cheaper than the Rift, PSVR, or Vive since the Quest doesn't need a separate console or computer to power it. Being self-contained, it can operate completely wire-free, which may be the most important factor to many potential buyers. The Quest may well be the first VR set to be truly mainstream accessible and also worth the price of admission.
Overview
The biggest problem with VR over the past five years ( and more ) has been finding the the balance between accessibility and performance. The high-end headsets look fantastic, but are not only expensive themselves, they require a high-end gaming computer to operate. On the cheap side, slipping a cell phone in a cardboard box and strapping it your face might be a good proof-of-concept, but it won't doesn't give the same immersion factor. The Quest tries to find that ideal middle ground, and in most ways succeeds.
The key part in all this is the lack of wires and cables. Not being tethered to a computer or console allows more freedom. You can physically now walk around in your game without dragging a cable with you. You could even consider this a portable VR. I wouldn't recommend playing it on a train or bus, but it's very easy to pack up and take to a friend's house or on vacation. Perhaps more importantly, it's easy to take around your house. You don't have to use it only in the TV room. Do some VR fishing from your favorite reading chair or even watch some VR videos in your bed. The only cable included in the box is a 10 foot USB type-C charging cable, giving plenty of length to charge the unit while still in use. I would like the handles on the control sticks to be longer, but I've also got larger hands than average.
Setup was okay, but could have been better ( the printed instructions have very little text and just basic diagrams ). You have to have a current Android or iOS device in order to run the companion app and initialize the headset. The headset will then connect to your home Wi-Fi and download any system updates. Network connectivity seemed a little slower than it should be ( I've got fiber internet and my other wireless devices constantly get 200+ Mbps ), but I imagine the Quest wireless controller has been toned down in order to save battery life. Once set up, the headset can operate completely on its own. You will have to make an Oculus account ( or just use your Facebook account since FB owns Oculus ). Unfortunately, Oculus does not yet support multiple profiles on a single account, so there's no way for family members to have their own save games or high score leader boards.
The headset uses external cameras to track your movement and it works well. It does require good lighting, though it does warn you not to use it in bright lights as that can desensitize the cameras and ruin the headset. The external cameras also act as a safety feature. If you ever step out of the designated safe area while playing, the headset will display the two forward cameras ( lo-res B&W only ) so you can see where you're going.
I didn't have any problems with comfort with the Quest. To keep it small and portable ( as well as cheaper ) it only uses an adjustable strap instead of a full halo headband, so the weight is concentrated forward. It's sturdy and secure for the most part, but it did come a little loose during the boxing game Creed ( loose, but didn't fall off ). After a few hours of use, I did feel the Quest weighing on my cheeks a bit, but it wasn't bad. And though it comes with an extra spacer to fit glasses, I found the headset very uncomfortable when wearing my spectacles. I don't know if it's possible to incorporate a diopter in a VR headset, but I have contact lenses too so it's not a big deal to me. The Quest also has a dial on the front to adjust the internal lens spacing to match up with your eyes, something that not only makes the display look clearer but also prevents eye fatigue. The headset has built-in speakers that work well in letting you hear it just fine but not loud enough to bother those close by ( unless you blast the volume ). You can also plug in earbuds if you want.
Now for the downsides. First the internal storage is fixed. You can't upgrade it in any way. Not by adding an SD card, not by swapping out a drive. You either get 64 GB or 128 GB and that's it. On the bright side, the games and apps tend to be fairly small ( very few go over 2 GB, and many are 500 MB or less ). Most people will get by just fine with 64 GB.
However, speaking of games, the Quest doesn't come with any full titles. You get a few demos, but they're all quite short, like 5 min or less. Possibly the best one is the First Steps demo, which isn't really a game, just a tech demo showing what a Quest can do. I didn't feel any of the rest gave me sufficient experience to be willing to spend $30 for a game. Am I just cheap or does that seem pricey? Even established titles from other platforms, like Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds, are still $15 on Oculus. Maybe it's a lot more expensive to develop a VR game, but it seems these games should be $5 - $20. I can get some great games on PS4 or XB1 for $10 - $15 that I'll happily spend 50+ hours playing. I have a hard time paying double that for something I'd likely play half as much. You can get a lot of other applications of course, such as Netflix, YouTube VR, and a lot of other media broadcast apps. These are free, but will require their respective subscription plans in order to use.
All this said, the Quest is still the most compelling VR system I've seen to date. Graphics won't compete with a Rift or PSVR, but they're good enough and you're not wired to a TV. It's perfectly portable, very accessible, and easy to share with family. Oculus still needs to fix their account and profile structure and the games either need to come down in price or feature demos that showcase a game better.
