    Love this VR headset. The graphics are amazing, the sound is ok... could be better but using Bluetooth headset with air fly and it’s amazing . Cord is long enough to really get into your games . Next step will be to get a Quest2!!!!

    It took me a a few in order to figure out why it kept on losing tracking but you can't plug it into a USB C or 3.1 Port it has to be as USB 3.0 port but after that it works fantastic I don't have any tracking laws and every single game works amazing

    the oculus s is a much better headset than rift, and i own both so i know. just the inside-out tracking alone is infinitely better than the stupid IR camera towers that rift required. the tracking seems to somehow be more accurate, too. overall it's fantastic.

    It is so immersive you forget where you are! Graphics are amazing! We love it but, it does have a few downsides I hope the manufacturer will fix in the future, some games like Minecraft have tracking issues and cause motion sickness, the whole thing sits pretty heavily on face and head, and the mask part is soooo HOT it really needs ventilation somehow. My face pours sweat. Despite all this I would still buy it again. In fact I kind of did, our first was broken ( hands kept freezing and not recognizing our port) so we returned it and the new one works flawlessly.

    The ultimate in VR and relaxing in a pandemic. Sure you can't leave home, but now you can travel beyond your own imagination. Explore places nearby or fight aliens in a distant galaxy. Its all up to you with the rift s

    My son loves these. I haven’t tried them, but he says it’s just as wonderful as the reviews and can’t wait for me to try them. He’s getting script lenses so he doesn’t have to wear his glasses. Who knew you could do that?

    My son saved up to buy this and found it to live up to his expectations. He is having so much fun with it! I wish the price point was a little lower so I could get some for his siblings. But it is a great piece of tech!

    My daughter (11) loves it she is really into gaming and programming and wants to design her own game now. I really enjoy the Rift S over the HTC Vive because of the inside-out approach to location. It makes switching rooms in my house a breeze.

    The Rift S is a ton of fun if you have a gaming PC that can handle it. People are always amazed at the virtual world when they put this one. Not having sensors is awesome. Can't wait till they make a completely wireless version.

    Purchased this for our son as an early Christmas gift so that he could use it while off of school. He absolutely loves it! On top of that, good old BB put it on sale two weeks later and adjusted the price for us.

    Easy to use, runs great, the only negative i have about it is that the foam pad on the headset is REDICULOUSLY annoying to clean. you have to disconnect the foam pads, hand wash them in the sink, then air dry them near a fan

    The motion tracking is spot on. It is far better experience than the psvr. The “screen door” effect is very rarely noticeable even after playing for days. Of the different headsets I have had, this is the most comfortable to wear for extended play.

    Great VR headset

    So I had an original oculus rift and decided it was time for an upgrade. I was getting really sick of having the 2 sensors have blind spots (like behind me), and I heard the screen door effect of the rift S was reduced and way better as well as the optics being better. So I decided to get one and I love it. The only reason I rated 4 stars is because of the speakers, they are built into the headsets head band so it sounds kind of bad. It could’ve been better I’m sure but everything else I love.

    You will love this headset. If you like to feel emmersed into a game or a alternate reality and it feel like you are truly there, then this is the headset for you. Don't bother with any others! Get the Oculus -Rift S.
