Do not buy it!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sensors will not work. I tried every USB 3.0 port I had and it would not work. Tried all three of my video connections. Nothing. Returned it. Oh and yes I did all the recommendations to fix this.

Not compatible
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This kept saying not compatible with my computer but my computer fit all the requirements. Had a ton of software issues as well. Was a really fun tutorial but when playing games was frustrating trying to get this to work.

Keeps Blacking Out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I got this headset, right out of the box the cable was kinked and the second day the the screen would black out every so often. Then it would black out about every 10 seconds. Ended up returning it. Don't Buy

Unable to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this product on line and thought it was the quest. I needed a converter to make it work but Best Buy did not have the converter so I returned the product only to find the converter on amazon.

Light weight but unstable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Audio and stability issues continue ever with powerful computer... I had to return mine. Love that it is light weight but Quest 2 is still a better buy in my opinion.

Have a gaming computer?
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Couldn’t use it and had to return the product. When purchasing this I didn’t know that it would require a gaming computer. I’m not buying a gaming computer just for VR.

Worst Oculus
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product sucks, no one uses the DisplayPort cable and it should say something letting you know you’ll need the port for it or a converter. Quest 2 is the way to go.

Jump Into VR with the Rift S
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you've been on the fence with VR, it's time to see what everyone's talking about. Overall, if you have a semi-capable gaming PC (GTX 1070 recommended or better, AMD RX Vega) then it's time to give VR a try, and the Rift S is the perfect way to do so. Pros: The good refresh rate is perfect for gaming Accurate motion tracking with both the controllers and your head motions (which means less likely for motion sickness) Huge library of games, and compatible across numerous game marketplaces Quality screen with better resolution All you need is in the box Setup is easy but takes a second Cons: Only compatible with DisplayPort graphics ports 16-foot cable may annoy some (look into the Quest instead) External headphones should be used for the full effect of sound and immersion I won't go into crazy detail about specs, etc., other than that it's a fine upgrade to the original Rift, so if you're thinking of jumping in it makes the price point worth it. $400 may seem steep but there are plenty of peripherals that are quite a bit more expensive and don't have everything needed right in the box. Setup took about 15 minutes, and the on-screen Oculus application walks you through everything. After experiencing my first VR game, I was hooked. I instantly understood why so many people have started in VR. I think this is the best time to jump-in, mainly because the headsets are cheaper, but have the quality to push the games you can play on them better than previous iterations. Plus, so many companies are pushing VR software that there is a lot to discover. One of the best parts of the Rift S is comfort. I found that even for 1-2 hours of gameplay, the adjustments and shape never infringed or hindered my experience, and was comfortable throughout. My only gripes boil down to the DisplayPort only cord and the nitpicky item that the resolution is lower than the Quest, even though the Quest is hands-free VR. In the end, I'm glad to have the Rift S in my house and look forward to showing VR to anyone that comes over.

Sold as new, it wasn’t
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had to return this entire system because it was used, missing parts, and broken. It was not purchased as preowned, and obviously was.
