    The device is good i like the idea but the software is terrible. I cant get Digital Combat Simulation to run on it. Setup is a pain and bulky. This product is not quite ready yet if you ask me. Would be great if there waa a way to delete the software.

    The only time this device has a clear image is if I'm cutting the circulation off of my brain.

    My son purchased this item and let me try it and I have to say, even I thought it was pretty cool. Lots of games available and it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend although it is expensive.

    Very fun product if you have a computer that can handle it (at least a GTX 1060). Definitely recommended to buy more microfiber lense cleaners before leaving the store.

    Was pretty good for what it was, but with the requirement of a Facebook account, we can no longer justify this VR headset. My husband already bought a Valve Index to replace it, which he is very happy with, and we plan to sell the Rift S. If Facebook didn't require an account to use the Oculus, we most likely would've kept it.

    This was a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it! This headset is a stand-alone version, which was perfect for us since he doesn’t have gaming laptop connections.

    I’ve recently been riding roller coasters at theme parks and the VR coasters seem to have a greater impact on my stomach than the real coasters... I guess that speaks to the VR experience.

    My daughter and I have had the best fun with this headset. I would highly recommend it. Just make sure you have a computer that meets the minimum requirements. Better if more.

    My son loves this. Works well with his cyber power PC running 24GB ram. When he had 8GB it was a little laggy so make sure to upgrade your RAM for a better experience.

    Already had so much fun with this system. One down side is that you can't use it with the lights off. The room has to be well lit for the sensors built in to the headset to keep tracking.

    Used to have the old oculus rift and upgraded to this and I’m glad I did. Tracking can be a little off if one controller is in front of the other but besides that I have no complaints.
