Customer Ratings & Reviews

I know nothing about vr headsets but my teenagers love it!

This has been a lot of fun . Amazing graphics. Took time to setup.

Great VR headset!! Good lens quality and easy to use !!!

Great product for virtual reality customers. The product is easy to use

My son was enjoyed this sets as his Christmas present.

This product is not bad for the price, but a big fat pain in the but to set up. Also, the oculus store leaves a lot to be desired. Still, there’s a better selection of games than there is for PlayStation VR.

The whole family loves it! Amazing graphics and lots of fun!

Honestly headset works like a dream and the controllers are nice but they give zero protection or even show awareness for glasses users. Yes it has a slider but it doesn't help, I swear the lenses they used are made out of the most scratch prone material on the planet. I had the headset for a week and now have two big scuffs in the middle of both the lenses. If I would've known that I would've bought the prescription lenses for $80 off their website but I don't even have updated prescriptions either so not like I could've. Honestly just lazy design and no regard for a large group of people that wear glasses for VR.

great easy to use. Great for the whole family to use and have fun with.

Very easy to set up and has great graphics. Spent many hours enjoying it.

I purchased an Oculus Go last year as my first foray into the VR world, and I thought it was an incredibly cool (if limited experience). Battery life stunk, and the single controller made it difficult to do much other than watch VR things rather than play them. Still, I was hooked and I was very excited when Oculus announced the Rift S and the Quest headsets. I thought about just doing the direct upgrade to the Quest headset since they had upped the specs on virtually everything and it now had the dual controllers, but I was still worried about the battery life. Also, I'm a huge fan of Elite: Dangerous and I have been wanting to try my hand at both it and some other flight simulators in VR and for that I would need the Rift S. First things first. Setting up the Rift S was super easy. I plugged the cables into the my video card (an RTX 2080) and a spare USB port. BTW, you need a Display Port connection for this to work, not HDMI, and from what I have read online, you can't use an adapter either. Shortly after downloading the Oculus software to my computer and logging in to my Oculus account (which I already had from the Go), I was up and running. A little robot that looked like a shorter, hovering version of the robot from Short Circuit (or maybe Wall-E) was showing me how to do everything in a rather trashed up trailer stuffed with tech gear. The tutorial was almost enough fun to keep me busy for hours. Tossing around paper airplanes and launching rockets was a lot more fun than I would have thought. It was just so cool to be able to 'grab' things with the controllers and toss things and have it seem relatively 'real'. Once I was done with that tutorial, I headed off to my virtual mountain retreat to set up my space and to customize my avatar. With that complete, I went into the system and tried out a bunch of the options. I was surprised to see that NONE of the apps/games/videos that I had downloaded for free or purchased were available to me on the Rift. I know it is a different system but I would have thought that the Rift would be able to handle anything from the Go. I was also dismayed to find that Vader: Immortal is exclusive to the Quest for at least a little while. I understand that they are hoping that this will drive the adoption of their most easy to use system, but I was really looking forward to standing in Vader's presence in that game. I decided to fire up DCS World which is an awesome combat flight simulator and which I configured for VR already. Upon trying to run it in Steam, I found out that I had to activate support for outside apps through the options in the Oculus software. It was a simple toggle of a button and as soon as I did so, the cockpit of my aircraft popped into place. MIND BLOWN! I had my flight stick set up but what I found was that my 'hands' were floating in front of me and I was able to grab the stick and throttle and control them directly. Very cool! Once I was airborne, it was incredible to be able to look around and see everything around me. That being said, it was a bit disorienting. It didn't make me sick or anything but my eyes and inner ear were screaming different things to my brain. It was far more disorienting than things like the roller-coaster game on the Go. Eventually though, I got used to it and I had a blast screaming past the control tower on a low level pass. Just needed a guy to spill coffee on himself up there and everything would have been complete! All the flight sim stuff was done sitting and so I wanted to try out setting up my virtual play space and do some real work in VR. Everyone has been saying that Beat Saber was the game to play and they are right. Not only is it incredibly fun but it is also a heck of a workout. My wife said I looked like a dork flailing about but I don't care, it was fun, and I can't see myself and neither will anyone else. I have only one complaint as of this moment with the Rift S. The benefit of the Go and the Quest is that there are no cables (though from what I understand, the Quest is a bit heavier than the Rift S). The Rift S is tethered to your computer and while the cable is quite long, it still seems to pull your head down and to the left a bit. I personally would rather have the cord and the support for more advanced programs but they really need to come out with some kind of cable harness that you could clip to your belt or something that can give you enough slack to look around but have most of the pull of the cable supported by your waist and not your head. I have also heard that previous Rift owners were griping that the screen inside isn't as nice as the one that was put into the Quest and not having used a Quest, I can't compare the two, but I can say that the Rift S blows the Go out of the water in quality. I don't notice any 'screen-door' effect like I did with the Go and the image is incredibly smooth. I was a bit worried about going from a high end gaming monitor down to the Oculus resolution but I was grinning so much from the immersion of it all that I don't really miss the pixels. Another complaint I have read about was about the sound that comes from the built in speakers. Now I didn't get this until after Oculus had already produced a patch for this and the software updated itself prior to me even putting on the headset for the first time, so I can't speak to how bad it was or how much of an improvement the patch made, but I can say that I'm pretty happy with the sound as it is. That being said, I am going to be plugging in some earbuds just so my wife doesn't have to hear everything in my games but if you want to just stick with the included speakers, I don't think you will be too disappointing in the quality. I can't wait to try out Elite: Dangerous and download a few more games from the Oculus store and Steam. I see myself wasting a lot of time playing on this thing in the very near future. If you have a current Rift, I don't know if the upgrade is worth it since I can't compare the two, but if you don't currently have a system or have been using a smartphone based system or the Go, you owe it to yourself to give this a shot. If you want ease of portability/use and want to have it available to show off to friends, go with the Quest. If you have a nice enough gaming rig to run it and want to play some higher end games, go for the Rift S. I am having an absolute blast and can't wait to see what developers come up with as the install base for VR gets even bigger.

Purchased for grandson on Christmas first time using it the foam padding start coming off. went to best buy sold out product they said to contact maker for warranty info went to Walmart purchased double sided tape and fixed it.

Don’t do it. Information about this product says all you need is a USB and that is a lie. Special visual display port needed and laptops don’t have it. Connection options are out there, but they don’t work either. Even the videos on YouTube say you can’t use it if your PC doesn’t have the correct jack. Notice I said PC. Most kids would rather have a laptop and that does work with the a Rift S.

Easy to setup and super fun 2 ports needed and boom setup is simple

Easy to set up with the software. You don't need to set up sensor sound.

Heads and tails above the previous one that we had.

Pretty good tracking definitely recommend especially for its price point

Great for any gamer and kid friendly. Would recommend

My kid is having a lot fun with this VR Gaming Headset.

My son got this and loves it. Can't hardly pry him off the system.
