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.

    Works just like the demo in the store. Didnt cause any nausea for me. Game library is limited, and you should try the games you want before buying this expensive device. But if you're sure, this is fantastic.

    The oculus rift is an amazing tool for communication and gaming. I recommend it high to anyone looking to get into the set gen gaming (if you have the computer to run it)

    I was a little hesitant about this because of its price, but after spending a couple hours with it I can see why it costs as much as it does. It's a whole new experience!

    Fantastic. Mind blowing. All the "Wowing" about VR in the commercials is not what you will say the first time you use this. "Holy S***" may be the mildest thing you'll think!

    It's a great product and provides fun for friends and family. Beware of your USB 3.0 because many computers may be noncompliant.

    While not technically as capable as the Vive, Oculus really nailed the implementation. It runs smoother on lower PC specs and comes with a ton of freebies. I love it.

    Vision shifts all the time when playing games. I think this head set needs a little improvement adjusting the head and side straps for better visualization. Other than that, it's a wonderful gadget.

    This is the first time i tried VR technology. If you already have a powerful pc, you may try the Oculus Rift. It will bring you to a completely different world.

    Pricey, but worth it. Bought one and it was defective. Best Buy returned it with no hassle. Second one works great. The Oculus makes gaming lifelike. It's awesome!

    A huge step-up from the "cardboard" VR headsets. Just bought the headset and haven't tried gotten to the touch accessories yet, but a definite must buy, if you really want to experience VR

    See my review on a great PC for $700 that works. Don't need to spend thousands. Research compare and then buy your tower as that is really the engine here.

    Might freak you out at first. But I was OK. My wife who never plays PC games loved it. Except for one game she freaked and crashed into furniture lol.
