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.

    Wishing it was a little clearer maybe 1440 by 1440 like new AR coming out but new tech always gets better I wear small size glasses and it's tough getting on and off so glasses can be a problem

    I LOVE IT! The touch controls totally change the way gaming looks and feels. I would have never imagined that having the use of your hands in a video game would make that much of a difference but it really does.

    We picked up this Oculus Rift for the holiday season and our entire family enjoyed it for countless hours! We are primarily using this headset for seated VR games. We had a faulty unit right out of the box and BB made the return super easy and fast.

    The Oculus is outstanding. I give it a 4 star because there is a little light that shines through on the headset but is barely noticeable. You also really need the touch controllers to complete the experience which does not come with the headset.

    We've enjoyed our octulus rift experience thus far. Have downloaded and played many games and apps. Favs are The Climb and The Unspoken. No complaints so far.

    I can't write a review that would be any more convincing than a simple recommendation: go to the store and test it out at a demo station. You won't be disappointed. My only complaint is that the headset can become quite warm rather quickly.

    Great vr heaset. I honestly havent had problems with the headset. I only rate 5 stairs because it came in a bundle with the oculus touch controllers which are a must. Great game selection and vre headset.

    Got the 399 bundle with the touch controller. Insane value, and one of the coolest new pieces of gear ever. Headtracking on the rift is fantastic, and the display is comfortable to wear. Big thumbs up.

    If not I would wait a year or two. It is a great product but I think the price will go down. While there is content online in the store from Rift I would say download Steam too. It expands your library a bit.

    My friends, family and myself have all said this is one of the coolest things we have ever experienced. There are bugs on occasion, but nothing to bring it down from 5 stars. A great item for family fun!

    I bought a gear VR and love the tech, ran right out to build a new PC to exceed the specs for this headset based on a test drive in Best buy. However, the homedeck and the apps are actually better for the Gear VR (probably because there are so many more users of the cel phone flavor VR than can spend 5K for a new system and headset).. Had I known that the gear would be basically the same thing I would have stuck with the lower end version and waited for the price drop... Just got too excited and didn't research enough before plunging in. VR is still super cool, and no need to worry about battery life or overheating on the oculus, but bang for the buck, it's Gear over this

    Purchased this product to use with Alienware laptop which has very few ports and can confirm that TRIPP LITE MODEL NUMBER: U460-004-4A-C (4-Port USB 3.1 Gen 1 Portable Hub) works with the sensors.

    Tons of fun. Tracking works really well, very responsive and immersive. Only 4 stars because lack of AAA titles and some of the most fun games are pretty short. There are a few online multiplayer games that have decent replay ability.

    It works well for all made to play oculus games. However, you can't fully 360 without buying a extra sensor. so until those come down in price I can only do 180 degree turns. This is ok i just with there were easier mountable sensors.

    When there is a table in one of the games for the VR I go to lean on it. Everything feels so real! It is truly amazing! I take it to parties so everyone can experience it and everyone loves it!

    This is just another peripheral and nothing more. Maybe when there is more exciting content like maybe an Arkham or Tomb Raider made specifically for it the money will be worth it.

    Once you can use it, it is amazing. A few games cause simulation sickness at first but once you get past that it fun to play. The movie shorts that available are great. It puts you right in the show.

    This is my first time playing VR, and my impression is WOW! I have waited too long. If I knew Oculus VR is this good, I would buy it when it first came out. Can't wait to explorer more games.
