    This headset, while great, has been discontinued for the Quest 2. If you're in the market for a great, affordable VR headset, that's the way to go.

    An Overall Stellar VR Headset

    While lacking manual IPD adjustment, I found the software IPD to be more than adequate. The resolution is noticeably improved over the Rift, and the halo style headband is awesome. It can easily fit smaller heads in comfort, and the stock facial interface while comfortable would benefit from an aftermarket PLU or silicone where you can simply wipe it off as opposed to letting it dry after intense VR sessions. The controllers are a bit comfier than the Rift, and lighter. There's also reduced "screen door" effect and images are much sharper and clearer.

    My first started experiencing problems after 7ish days. Ocolus was ok to work with just but required a bunch testing and logs to be run to determine if it was the unit or my pc. In my case I was experiencing the screen going black on two separate pc’s after about 30 seconds. They just claimed it was a hardware issue but noting more specific. A lot of reading led me to believe there was a common issue with the cords. Oculus wanted me to return the unit and wait for them to evaluate it and then determine if it was bad and send me a new one. Had I gone that route it would have likely been 2 more weeks for a replacement. I returned it to Best Buy telling them it was faulty. That was In itself a poor experience as the clerk was not listening and I needed to repeat things over and over and over and instead of an exchange she just returned it and said thanks. So I had to find an associate to have them find one as they were resetting for the quest 2 and repurchase. But so far no issues with the new unit

    This is very well made and most likely a lot more potential for enjoyment but I am not tech savvy or trusting of apps and downloads so was only using what it came with. Couldn’t get anywhere with mystery museum. The google like global map was easier to Navigate and interesting. Adjustment able for glasses. Just couldn’t get more fun out of it so I sold it to someone younger.

    Nice Upgrade From the Original Rift

    As an upgrade to my original Oculus Rift, this headset has exceeded my expectations. It is absolutely noticeably clearer than the original Rift and surprisingly is sharper than the Oculus Quest despite having a lower resolution. The best thing (aside from the display improvement) is the comfort. I can wear this thing for hours with minimal discomfort. I wish Quest had this head strap system.

    I waited 6 months to get the Rift and I wished I got it when I first looked into it. Alyx and Saints and Sinners are the best games.

    Overall lighter, controllers need work

    With this being lighter than the previous generation is definitely a step forward for gaming in general, but I am having some minor issues with controllers. The pause and select buttons are now too close to where the thumb should roll around the controller, and the magnet holding the battery in right controller is weak, so playing movement intensive games, it slides out easily.

    I love it! The games that I’ve played are tons of fun! Beware when you buy though, after buying the headset, you will have to buy the games when you get it home.

    This headset is much better than the price would suggest. The setup couldn't have been easier and didn't take more than 10 minutes. Very comfortable, allowing for extended game play. Haven't had any fogging issues yet. Optics are quite clear and the "screendoor" effect is much improved over the original Rift. I use high end headphones when gaming and was concerned about the audio for the Rift S. It is quite clear, very immersive with good directional awareness. The handsets paired with the system automatically and are intuitive and comfortable.
