    Works perfectly as intended only problem is with my PC not being powerful enough for stable gaming. But the headset is not the problem.

    Oculus quest was said to be not so clear but it is. Only grip I have is you can’t actually talk to anyone if you have some issues about this product

    I never got to use this because my gaming laptop (also sold to me by Bestbuy with the assurance it would work with Oculus) did not have a Display Port. There is no adapter or other workaround for this failing.

    This is a glimpse at the future. The immersive experience, achieved through head and positional tracking, 3D video, and directional audio, is so real.

    Faulty Rift S software

    My PC system has the Rift S infinite restart loop problem. The fact that (1) the most recent software update made my problem worse, (2) the recent Reddit post by u/ShowbizDonkey Oculus Customer Experience appeared to indicate the Oculus engineering team is baffled by the reported problems and (3) Oculus’s heavy-handed insistence on pushing inadequately tested firmware revisions on users and not giving them the option to roll back to previous working versions are three good reasons for me to return the Rift S to Bestbuy and look at different brands. I spent $700 on upgrades to my computer to beta-test faulty Oculus software for three weeks.

    This thing seemed like the future and worth the price......for about 3 weeks. I have done absolutely everything right. I updated my drivers. Never stepped on the chords nothing. The tracking sensors went out within a month. So now i cant play any game. Honestly might be the biggest waste of money ive ever had. And theres most likely no way i can return this. When its working it's fine and the games are pretty cool. But apparently the hardware is busted because there are many, many, people like me who have a Vr set that just busts for no discernible reason. How can you sell this in good faith!?!?!?!

    Awesome piece of gear. The only downside is that you need a solid gaming PC to get the most out of it.
