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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Totally awesome! Need a pretty powerful gaming rig to get the most out of this device but it's well worth the investment if you're a gamer. Great library of titles getting bigger all the time. Add Touch for a great immersive experience

    I like the oculus in one area more than the rift in the area of focus other than that they are similar,the built in headphones are nice but I plan on a surround system in the. Future

    great quality screen captures Vr in a fantastic way. cheaper than the HTC Vive simply because it has smaller area to play but that shouldn't deter you. if you have the extra money go for HTC, otherwise this will not let you down.

    Picked this up at my local Best Buy, last one they had in stock! :) I have been amazed by this, and at least 12 other people who I have shown this too! Everyone loves it! This is the future of gaming! I can't wait to get my Oculus Touch!

    I play it and I do enjoy it. I just feel like they did not have smaller people in mind when they did make it. The straps don't tighten enough across the top and often the headset starts to sag. It wouldn't take much more to just extend the velcro the extra 1-2 inches.

    Don't get me wrong. I still love my purchase, but some things get a little blurry if for example, when trying to read something. You don't really notice this when looking at a distance though. Hopefully there will be a nice upgrade in the headset in a year or two.

    After the initial wow-factor wears off, its just a new platform that needs more compelling content. There is a lot of content out there, but only a handful are worth playing. For the first couple of weeks, I would spend hours every day. After that maybe twice a week.

    The Oculus Rift with touch controls blew my mind! My first experience with VR and I would not accept anything less. Construction is functional, durable and attractive. Quality is right up there with Apple products. Go for it.

    I purchased a PSVR a few weeks prior to this dropping price. Needless to say I haven't touched the PSVR since. Absolutely amazing piece of hardware and I would definitely recommend it if you have a PC capable of running it.

    Virtual Reality is taken to a whole new level with the Oculus Rift. Works like a charm, especially when paired with the Oculus Touch handsets. Requires a lot of room to setup, so not good for small spaces.

    I think the Oculus is great! The games are awesome and immersive. The only problem is the computers to run it are expensive. The computer I got for it that said "Oculus ready" kept crashing while I was playing it, just make sure you have a powerful computer.

    Purchased for $598 then it went on sale for $399 2 weeks later and Best Buy refunded me the difference so kudos to them. Great device best game is robo recall. Right now there just isn't a lot of content.

    I have had the dk1 dk2 and now the CV1 and I love it. It's a great screen and works very well as long as you have the hardware to run it. It's fluid supports the Oculus store and steam os. I have a 980ti and I get 80-90 fps

    Well, this is the future. I mean I just heard NFL teams using this for QBs to train them so , as real as it gets. Make SURE to have recommended specs for your computer because minimal = pain and you'll not be happy.

    I bought the $399 bundle which was a great deal, however be prepared to shell out a lot of cash for games because they are short and get boring very easily. Im still waiting for full games like fallout vr to come out.

    I bought this for my son but found you really need an I7 processor and at least GTX970 graphics card. Ended up upgrading his graphics card to a GTX1070 and it seems to run well. I just hope they keep coming up with games he likes because this was an investment.

    Great way to start with your home VR experience. Mine set up easily and we started playing games right away. Still light on the software front but things are coming and some of the programs out there are amazing.

    Great VR headset, though I must admit VR in general is still a young industry. If you're the early adapter type this is worth looking into but it might be worth it to consider waiting a few years for the technology to evolve

    this was cool, except it is really narrow, the nose gap let in too much light, and there was no fit for glasses. it was not very adjustable, so getting it focussed was really hard and not achievable.
