    Excellent VR experience! But frankly just not quite worth it now that the Quest 2 exists.

    I haven’t had this thing but for 5 hours. I spend 4 of them hours just trying to adjust settings and try to work my way around the bugs and glitches. I can’t even use my rift s because of some firmware update that won’t update. Nobody knows how to fix it and oculus support isn’t to worried because it’s been happening to people for months. I’m not happy that I spent $400 on a VR headset that doesn’t freaking work. Almost at the point of sending it back...

    This is my first VR headset let me just say it’s amazing, but the thing is it gets so hot after 30 mins or less of gameplay so careful.

    Pretty good for FS2020! For 299, a great value as well. Oculus has solid trouble free software as well. I’m happy I bought it.

    Gift for my 21 year old son. He said he absolutely loves the headset! A little motion sickness at first as to be expected.. A couple of his friends went out and bought them as well after hearing how much he likes them. Definitely worth the money.

    Great system for the money as long as you get a decent gaming computer. Good computer and great internet will keep everyone going all day. Great for exercise for the whole family...especially on those days you can’t go outside!!

    Headset is great. Technical support is all but none existent. Have some issues that I'm so far unable to resolve. All my inquires have been ignored.

    Got it for the kids because they asked for it. Not only do they love it. I tend to make up reasons for them to do chores so I can play on it now. Exceeded expectations.

    We bought an oculus from oculus directly and it broke within a week. Once we returned it, we went directly to Best Buy where we could get a warranty. This oculus has worked Perfectly but I’m comforted knowing we have the warranty.

    I seldom use it but my kids to routinely and it's still working great after 18 months. My son's only complaints are that the cables are a little short. Many games get me with the motion but kids seem to be less sensitive.

    There is very few reasons to choose this over a quest now that the quest can be connected to a PC, wasted money and immediate depreciation.

    Purchased this for a Christmas gift for my Grandson. He wears glasses and was able to use this headset easily. We had lots of fun together playing and competing.

    FACEBOOK BAD

    i will start off by saying i love this headset and highly recommend anyone interested in getting into VR should do so now. HOWEVER, the decisions made by oculus to force facebook on you and now the plan to discontinue this headset in lieu of their bulky, proprietary alternative headset really sucks. I dont have any interest in mobile games, i wanted something light that i could play half life alyx on and that is what I got. hopefully there will still be a resell market for these because I plan on upgrading to the Valve Index when I can and you should too. Do not support this company that doesn't value its customers.

    Primarily use for iRacing, but seems to lose the "play area" quite a bit and batteries in the remotes have moderately poor life.

    We got this as a gift for our oldest daughter and it’s been a big hit. Very cool and fun. You can buy games on steam and it was easy to setup. I have not heard any complaints about it so far.

    Works great on my Hp Omen laptop. Had to wait for this to get back in stock as it comes in and out pretty regularly but finally was able to purchase it. Seems to work lots better than my PS4 VR so I can’t wait to try it out more!

    Rift S is everything you could wish for. The controllers are awesome and the headset itself is a big step up from the regular oculus rift. I got it on sale and already had some VR games as I had the previous oculus rift.

    My oculus rift s has provided a great time for me and my friends. Playing beat saber has been fun with the quality tracking of the headset. I have had no issues using the headset and I am looking towards the continual use of my headset.
