Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the immersive VR experience and the comfortable design of the Rift Headset, frequently praising its lightweight feel and intuitive touch controllers. However, some users point to the lower resolution and resulting screen door effect as drawbacks, while others mention occasional motion sickness and compatibility issues with certain games or hardware. The available content library is also a point of contention for some customers. Despite these shortcomings, many appreciate the headset's overall performance and value for the price.

    Whether it's driving a car, flying an airplane or piloting a space ship, the sense of immersion you get using one of these is sheerly amazing! Beyond just the demos, there are many excellent games with which you'll feel like you're there. Get one of these now, you won't regret it!

    It is fun, a lot like WII was when it first came out. The games and episodes you can experience are fun but are not fully developed. Still it is fun to have the newest technology.

    This was my first purchase of a virtual reality product and I am very pleased with the Oculus Rift. I cannot wait for more games to come out for it, and I am excited to purchase the Oculus Touch soon, for an even more immersive experience. Great item for virtual reality lovers/seekers.

    I originally had no plans to get into vr but once the summer of rift deal rolled around I was all it. Couldn't beat the price and this was a once in a lifetime deal to me. I'm so glad that I decided to get it. It was definitely worth the price and it is awesome. Works great with the monster that I have in my living room.

    I have a alienware aura 5 computer with an intel I7 processor and a nvidia 970 graphics card and there is no lag time. I was hesitant to buy it because of the reviews of motion sickness but I have not had that. I have been building up to wearing it. Now an hour is no problem. get one!!

    As someone who loves to stay on top of tech, the Oculus Rift amazes and surprised me for how great and immersive the games and programs are. I would say it is the best value for Virtual Reality right now (as compared to the more expensive Vive and other competitors)

    So if you have never tried it, words that i put here wont really give you the feeling you get when playing. Picture a 3D movie and you are in the movie. It is awesome and make sure u have a fan on in the room you are in because you will be sweating after playing some of the games!

    With the price drop I decided to give it a try. My 9 and 11 year old daughters love it. It's fun but not enough really good content. Also, i believe Wireless versions will be available in the near future but im sure much higher priced. If you have the cash not a bad purchase.

    Very good Headset / Price is the debate

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The headset and the games are good, but the price at $600 was a lot to start, now that some places has it for $399 , its a good choice. For 1 year cutting the price like that was kind of sad, but it is what it is. Very good headset and very good movement with it. Always try it first at the store to get the feel of vr.

    Love this thing. Been a gamer all my life and this is definitely a game changer. Super comfortable with a bunch of different adjustments for fit. Easy setup. You HAVE to get the additional touch controllers as they complete the experience, even though the included gamepad is nice.

    Great product, I have owned it for a month, and I play it everyday. Graphics are top notch... can't wait to get the controllers early Dec. There's lots of games for it out already. Make sure you have 2 USB 3.0 slots on your PC. I'm running it with and Nivida 1080 superclocked card.

    i got this with the asus package. everything worked great and i was shocked by the vr. it really sucks you in. i ended up returning this package due to the price. if i already had a pc that could have run the oculus i probably would have kept it. but at $1700 for some cheap fun, i just couldn't justify it. great product though!

    I love this thing. I went with the Rift over the Vive because the touch remotes, and because the weight is more comfy. And so far this hasn't let me down. I love Medium! Lets me create out of thin air and then print in a 3d printer, or share. it's been fun. And held up nice.

    The VR set really puts you in a different world and the set up is quick and easy with the on-screen prompts. It has been a delight to use as a family, but even better when guests are invited over. I have no regrets.

    The VR for the PS4 was cool, but it doean't compare at all to the Occulus. The Occulus is lightweight, has great headphones and mic, and it's all built in seamlessly. Nevermind the level of detail and effects that the PC can handle compared to the console.

    Excellent headset. Light weight. Lens slider is super helpful. The headphones it comes with is amazing, you can take them off and use your own if you wish. I took mine off when I got my arctis 7 headset. Overall very well made except for 2 things (still 5 stars though) (2) Cons: The face mask wears out after a year depending on how much you put use into it. And the touch controllers come with a small rubber padding inside so when you press the trigger in it's quiet. After only a few months my pads had shifted and a year and a half later one fell out. They work just fine without a doubt, nothing wrong, just a bit louder. You only recognize that they are louder for the first few uses before you completely tune them out because whatever game you are playing is so immersive.

    Ignore the naysayers; the future of gaming is in VR. Oculus Rift is the consumer friendly device in the VR market to date on the PC. From the moment you set it up and play First Contact, you'll be amazed, and wonder if gaming will ever be the same.

    Wow... The Rift is just AWESOME! you can go anywhere and do anything! VR is just coming into its own, but there are so many games that cost less than regular games. Ensure you have enough room, and are ready for a workout as some of the games will make you sweat!
