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.

    I love the setup do wish it was wireless and better lenses. Don't fit my glasses well so a better quality lenses or changable lenses would be nice.

    Overall happy with the purchase. Although it is not much different from the PSVR which I already own. More apps I guess?

    I have had the system for a few years now and still works great. There is tons of content available on the steam app.

    It's glitchy . I'm not a techie but my sons playing the game and the games aren't working properly. They freeze up or won't move like they're supposed to. He closes out the oculus and/or reboot it and it's still not working right. Bought three different games and all three of them are doing the same thing. Had eight gigs of RAM I was afraid of that even though that's the minimum that wasn't enough so I bought more an upgraded it to 16 and still didn't help..

    Bad technical support

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Today I got a problem, the sensor and mic don't work, even the controller, I try all the direction on online and finally contact Oculus technician. Make me redo the same troubleshooting, but they never call me and only e-mail. One technician and two technicians with the same questions, I lose to much time. They the tool to do a hardware check out. but they never help me out. Bad customer services. If you buy this item you are on your own.
