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 tried the headset in the store but having it home and more space really gives you a great experience. I highly recommend the Rift.

    I love it. The games are amazing, the best thing is the sense of depth and magnitude you get in a game that is missing from something on TV.

    Using the device is a lit of fun and a great experience but it feels like the technology is not there yet, I hope the second version will bring some improvements.

    I love the Oculus Rift. It's a great investment and super fun. It can be a little finicky with setup depending on your PC.

    Always wanted VR, now I have it and it's great! Just make sure you have a pretty beastly computer to run it and you'll be fine.

    we're using this and the Vive to develop VR/AR content for our clients. definitely worth it even if you're casually into VR/AR.

    This is definitely the future of gaming. I play racing sims mostly. This takes the realism to a level I didn't think was possible.

    Got a bundle with this being the key item. Super good and high quality, though if you have glasses it's a bit tricky to use.

    This is my second Rift purchase. 1st one is still being used for sim racing. This new Rift will be used for other gaming.
