Customer Ratings & Reviews

I currently own the HTC Vive and Playstation VR. I decided to buy the Oculus Rift for a second time because I wanted to try out the touch controller to see how much it added to the VR experience. Although it certainly was a step up over the Move and Vive controllers, the poor lenses in the Rift cause things to look darker and give off lens flares when white text is on the screen. I also prefered the tracking fidelity I got from my Vive way more as I felt it was much more accurate and my VR hands didnt get lost. Pros: Comfy headset Light Easy to set up Best exclusives and no workaround needed to play any VR game touch controls feel more natural than VR wands Cons: Headset made me nauseous while the Vive never has lens flare inaccurate tracking unless you buy 3rd sensor If you are new to VR and want a solid performer and dont want to spend 599- get the Rift. However, if you are willing to spend a bit more I would say go with the Vive and wait for the new controllers that are similar to the touch to come out. Thats what I will be doing.

It's a little persnickety. The cables are rather short for most setups, and extending them is hit-or-miss. They, currently have the best controllers and are the cheapest good system on the market. Resolution has a "screen door" look to it; as you can see between the pixels. It also tends to heat up your head a lot. I find I need a cool down break after 1 hour of play. There are very few games out there that are worth playing, much less spending money on it. For the $345 I paid, I am very happy; though I still wish I could have bought a Vive. Games tend to be rather short lived; and there seems very little motivation to expand on them. Robo Recall has about 10 different missions; and then just repeats for score. Bridge Control, has even fewer. So, available content is its biggest weakness. Hardware wise, it is average. I would not pay more than $350 for it again. you will still need a 3rd tracker for 360 play and an aftermarket face pad to make comfortable.

This is really a good product and innovative controls. The only problem I faced is, the eye strain. It might be because there is not enough space for my glass inside headset. I couldn’t play it continuously for more than 10 min. Also I felt that the resolution is not that great, but still you will get a good VR experience.

It's still not perfect compare to newer models of Vr with higher resolutions, but its still fun playing VR games with it in moderate short period of time (to avoid nausea or headache) . you could give it a try if you are eager to experiment VR but you should wait for the next gen if you want more immersion and better res.

Limited games and overcomplicated temperamental setup. Sensors need perfect placement in order to proceed. Whole system is annoying. I wanted tot like it but it's just a pain. There are much better VR systems out there. This was an impulse buy for me. Do your research then decide.

There are two things this system does better than the Vive and in both instances it is simply comfort. The controllers and headset are a fair bit more comfortable than my vive, That said the Vive is a superior system in almost every way.

I bought the Rift a while back when Best Buy was having a big event. A little over three months after the purchase, the headset fell about 6-8 inches from the magnetic puck on the frontside of my desktop and completely stopped working. Oculus customer service is far from the best as I spent numerous hours trying to have them replace whatever went wrong. The best part about the Rift is by far the Touch controllers. I have yet to see any other VR controllers surpass them.

I have wanted a Rift since they were in the introductory phase. The product did not disappoint. Unfortunately, it made me feel sick to use, so I had to return it.

The VR is great but I have two complaints. The first is that the focal point for VR is about four to five feet away. I need glasses for that distance. This makes it awkward and difficult at times. Additionally VR has the occassional issue with heat causing lenses to steam which is that much worse with my glasses on. The second complaint is the cord length. The system is recommended to be in a room where there is plenty of space all around and your sensors are spaced at least 6 feet apart. There is no way to setup an effective area to maximize the use of the system with the cord lengths provided. I have already bought extension cords for the sensors, and it looks like I will still need to get additional extensions for the HDMI and USB on the headset.

I ordered this to experience the VR world, and I got to. Unfortunately, there wasn't much to do. The games and programs are great, and the hardware was awesome too, but I couldn't see myself using more than 10 programs. I couldn't justify keeping this product, but its a nice cheap entry point if you want to test the waters.

This is a confusing review because I purchased this for my daughters as a present and ended up taking it back mainly because it has to run with a PC or laptop, I have a pretty new laptop, less than 6 months and the grafics Card wasn’t enough to support it and is not upgradable in my laptop so I was literally going to have to buy a new computer in order to even use this thing. And I was disappointed that the thing would have to always be wired when used. My own fault for not doing more homework but I thought these things were wireless (isn’t that part of the appeal). Luckily Best Buy allowed me to return it which is good, I mean it was unused. Go with the oculus Go it’s cheaper and nearly as good a picture plus no wires or fancy PC required.

Product is great for the price but there still needs to be advancements in the technology

This is a blast! I can’t begin to explain how fun this is and setup for me was super easy. I do wish it had some other options for the headset, mine is always fogging up and i would like the option to have it sit off my face a little more

Maybe it was our bad but we read all the requirements and my son got a lot of tech support and we could not get this product to work with his gaming laptop. He was very disappointed and had all of the correct specs. We gave up.

It is very fun to see games in VR and that really does make it a whole new experience. Be aware that the VR environment is not for everyone. I found it caused headaches and nausea that lasted for hours after.

Seemed like good equipment compared to others in the market

Overall it works pretty well, difficult to get set up at first unless your computer wizard. A few glitches in the software. The graphics are amazing.

Wasn’t really awesome. Ease-of-use was great but the controllability was poor at best.

Unfortunately, I had to return this item. It was not compatible with my new laptop and requires a device with more gaming technology

The sales rep said it would work with my husbands new laptop but it would not and the graphics card that he’d have to change it to was over $400 plus labor of about $200 so by the time we bought the unit plus the upgrades we would have been in over $1000 so it wasn’t worth it to us but we really aren’t the gamer type people to spend that kind of money for this kind of thing so we returned it. The customer service guy said that several people returned it for the exact same reason.
