Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my first VR headset and it has been great. The picture is extremely clear and the controllers are very sensitive, in a good way. I like that I don't have to set up sensors. It works great without them. The passthrough is an awesome feature that let's me see things around me. At times there has been glitches that I've needed to reload the software and check my monitor resolution (trust me, it'll make sense when you have one). I haven't experienced any major drawbacks. It's just what I envisioned when I purchased it.

This was purchased for my Son, he is 13 and he feels these are much better than the one he had (Samsung). He set it up by himself, and had no real issues except using certain already purchased Steam VR Games. Other than needing to purchase the same game again due to that issue, these are a good value.

Setup took took longer than it should have. Lots of errors during the install and update process. Finally got it to update, and had crashes with every game for the rest of the day. We had to constantly unplug and plug in the USB and Display port cables to get it to recognize the headset. Frustrated, I deleted the Oculus program from the computer and reinstalled it. It installed and updated quickly and without a hiccup. Since then, we've had ZERO crashes. My son has been playing mainly Half-Life Alyx and Minecraft VR, and FNAF now for three days without incident. For the price, it's been an amazing VR experience once we go past the initial setup issues. The on board sensors track extremely well. The headset is fairly light and comfortable. Best of all it plays well with Steam VR. If it wasn't for the janky setup issues, the Rift S would have gotten 5 stars easily.

For $399 you can't beet the Rift S. It has a great display with a RGB sub pixel display and 80Hz. It doesn't require any external sensors at all. You just plug it in and it works. This headset is the device that got me hooked on VR. I now own the Oculus Go, Quest, and Rift S. I am also on the waiting list to buy a Valve Index. Once I get my Index in 3 months I will be keeping this headset jsut because it's so easy to use. I want a backup PCVR headset incase I ever have issues with my Index.

The device was faulty upon opening, one of the wires inside the headset for the USB device was improperly manufactured and failed to power the device correctly. It worked twice before ultimately failing. Software was hard to install, the oculus download is hidden on their site and required a bit of googling. There was no option to change the primary drive of installation and it required a cmd command in their help manual to change this. Silly when it could of just been part of their software gui. Aside from that, the headset is now officially phased out by Oculus. They are no longer manufacturing the rift s and are going forward with the Rift Quest 2. Please do not buy this headset and instead wait for the cheaper Rift Quest 2. I returned this order due to USB failure but would like to inform other potential buyers this headset is no longer being manufactured.

Great entry level vr headset. Doesn’t overheat nor is there any microphone issues. Tracks quite perfectly, even in low light. The guardian system tends to reset often for me but you can easily turn it off. Very fun to use and easy to get use to wearing for prolonged period of times. Fits over glasses!

Product was easy to install. Graphics are cool. Everything runs smoothly with the pc. Controls are comfortable.

Great VR experience with no need for sensors. Can easily assume a prone firing position. Very accurate and responsive.

Great graphics, fairly comfortable headset. The controllers do eat batteries but that's about the only downside.

The vr is awesome and this one is way better than old rift, just plug and play simple and effective

I've only ever owned the VR headsets that use your phone. This is amazing. My one complaint is that most updates seem to require the complete uninstallation and reinstallation of the software and drivers to get it working again. That is a bit frustrating, but once you are back in the experience, well worth the effort.

The Oculus Rift is a good value compared to other brands. The resolution is not the best, but worth the added level of immersion by adding g VR nto the game. The only issue is the USB needs to be unplugged and repluggedoccasionally for the PC to recognize the headset when not used for a while.

A very goos buy if you want to experience the vr world. Only downfall is that you are limited when it comes to whether you want fulk body tracking or not. Better to buy the vive if you want full body tracking. However this is a good buy at a cheap price.

I bought both the rift s and the quest. rift s is more comfortable. nice not having a cord with quest but even though the quest has a slightly higher resolution the rift s is crisper and just seems more real. assuming the slightly higher frame rate makes it crisper but who knows. oculus just announced a cord for quest to connect to a computer for playing triple a games. but then your back to a cord and more uncomfortable. returning the quest. I guess in a year or 2 maybe cordless will catch up.

Great setup. Easy to use and a great tutorial. Works on my Sager I7 8th gen laptop with a GTX 1060 GPU.

This headset was fantastic until nvidia or windows or whatever just no longer would connect it correctly.

This headset gives a perfect VR experience, you get what you payed for. Additionally, the setup was very easy!

Upgraded from a Rift CV1 -- the rift S has noticably better graphics, and I love not having to plug in external sensors. Tracking works great. It's a bit less comfortable then the CV1 and a bit more finicky -- sometimes it quits when I take it off for more than 10 seconds and I have to unplug and plug back in.

If you have a powerful pc, this vr headset runs super smooth. For an entry level vr this is amazing

Very easy set up and use. Does NOT require high end PC, but you would benefit more from having one. The headset is comfortable enough with better weight distribution. But I don't feel like I can secure it where I want as well as the first Rift. The headphones, or whatever they are, are garbage. Way too quiet and sound distant since they're not actually against your ear like traditional headphones. Higher resolution display (barely) does offer a more crisp viewing experience, but it's disappointing if you're coming from the first Rift. Tracking seems to work well, unless you get the controllers too close to the headset. The Rift S is good if you're new to VR and/or your expectations aren't that high.
