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.

    I had an amazing time with it in the first week, then it got boring. I also had to keep cleaning the lens every 20 min. I sold mine already, it's too expensive to keep around.

    There is so many new games that are great and this product usually comes with over $200 in free money to spend on the Ocolus home! Buy it on sale.

    If you are stuck between this and the htc remember polish is the name of game. This isn't definitely the best technology purchase i have made in years.

    Unlike any other gaming experience! There's a lot of negative talk about this thing and I can only imagine it's from the uninformed or jealous.

    Simple to hook up, and intuitive. Looks very good, and immersive. With the current deal (with the touch controllers) well worth the time.

    Jumping into VR was initially something I thought would make me nauseous, however the quality of the Rift makes that a nonissue.
