Awesome headset. Doesn't get updates anymore so I would get a quest.

We had to return this product because it is not compatible with my sons brand new gaming laptop. The laptop does not have a DisplayPort, which is the only way to connect this to the PC. No adapters will work according to Oculus. Definitely not ready for mainstream.

We never actually got to use the item as we were unable to get the software to download on three different gaming systems sadly. Otherwise the headset seemed very well made. After two days of extremely frustrating attempts to download, multiple troubleshooting, and calls we returned the system before ever using it.

Store was ok but didnt tell me i needed a different gaming system

Lack of software, sometimes hard to focus. Would not recommend this to a friend

Bought this a couple years ago. Went through all three with the power issues. Tried on several PC's. All would just black out after a fer minutes of play. They kept telling me the unit was bad and will send a replacement. After the process took over a year to get a replacement they just stopped responding back to me telling me my warrenty was expired. I even bought a second one and tried another year. So then I bought the quest thinking it was better. It was but it's very heavy and uncomfortable. I work with vr headsets and I have bought 4 oculus products and will never purchase another. I finally bought a valve and haven't had one issue with it. I'm out 800 dollars with a headache and no working product. Sad

Overall experience while working was positive. Kids enjoyed it. After two days, started to have connection issues with wire. Did search online and learned this is an ongoing issue with Oculus and manufacturer gives a hard to address. Not willing to deal with the aggravation given the cost of the item and returned it.

I had to return because I don’t have the right laptop for it :(

Fun but very blurry visuals. I think PSVR has sharper images.

I thought VR was gonna be fun but it’s fun for like 5 minutes and then you get motion sickness and a headache. I had a friend who returned his because he felt the same thing but I didn’t think I would feel that way because I’ve never gotten motion sickness before, but boy was I wrong.

The left analog stick broke 2 months after purchasing

If you have the original rift the improvement is minor, and this is much, much more difficult to install. Took me over 30 hours to get the sensors to connect and track. If you don’t have the rift and want to get this one you may be good but be aware that many people are having installation problems.

Arrived damaged. It had a crack in the headset where the screws are that looks like it was from over tightening. Returned to Best Buy with no issues just waiting for the replacement to be shipped. Will give an updated review when it arrives and we use the product.

Fun but it wasn’t lasting fun. The product quickly became stale for me.

Just like the quest really no different so took it back

We are exchange it tomorrow, having problem with it

It was fun for a little but I got severe migraines from using it

It did not work on our gaming laptop, despite the HDMIadaptor recommended. Make sure you triple check before you buy it, my 11 years old was very disappointed with our Xmas gift and we had to return it.

Step into unique world of virtual reality with the Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset. Simply plug-in your Oculus Rift S into your PC, connect your favorite set of ear / headphones or use the integrated audio from the VR headset, strap on the Oculus Touch controllers and you’re good to go. Unlike many of the traditional VR headsets out on the market, which requires the use of external sensors for tracking movement, the built-in Oculus Insight tracking removes the need for external sensors to convert your movements into virtual reality. Instead of using those external sensors to create your play boundary, the Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset uses software to create your play area. During initial setup (and this can be changed at a later time if necessary) you can create your play area with the Oculus Guardian System to draw out your play area. The minimum required space to play a VR game is 3 feet by 3 feet (1 meter by 1 meter) with the recommended play area being 6.5 feet+ by 6.5 feet+ (2 meters+ by 2 meters+). Keep in mind that any play area that is less than the minimum space requirement will not be able to use the Oculus Guardian System. In order for the Oculus Rift S can work, it must be connected by a cable (the included USB 3.0 and DisplayPort) to a PC running Microsoft Windows 10. The recommended PC specifications in order to use the Oculus Rift S with your PC are as follows: NVIDIA GTX 1050Ti / AMD Radeon RX 470 or greater video card; Intel i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or greater CPU; 8GB+ RAM memory. If you are interested in buying the Oculus Rift S, make sure to spend that extra bit of money for higher tier parts. In the end it will make a huge difference in performance and the quality VR environment your PC can create and display on the Oculus Rift S. Enough about the technical specs and let’s jump into actual game play. The Oculus app provide a rather large library of games and various other apps (the Oculus can be used for more than just playing games) to use in conjunction with the Oculus Rift S. You can also connect leverage your Steam account and play any VR games in your collection (after installing the SteamVR extension to Steam). One of the games that I played the most in VR was Vacation Simulator. After installing the game, I had a few technical glitches that prevented me from jumping straight into the game. One I was having trouble with the visual, but I could hear all the audio just fine. After a bit of adjustment, I ended up having the problem swap from visual to audio where I could see what I was doing, but not hear what was going on. Once I was able to get past the technical hurdles and get into the game, it was smooth sailing from there. Everything worked so well that it made it easy to get lost in the game for many hours on end. I had a really hard time reminding myself that I cannot lean against a table or what looked like a sturdy object in game, as the object was not in front of me in person. Interacting with objects was very easy and it took no time at all to get use to the controls. This has been one of those amazing products that I have had the opportunity to test and review. I know that I will be using this Oculus Rift S PC-powered headset for long time. If you have the opportunity to try VR for yourself, don’t hesitate and go for it!
