Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a gift for my son. He said that setting it up wasn't too difficult. The sensors were a little tricky to adjust because his room is small. He figured out a few kinks and made the necessary adjustments. He seems to be very pleased with it.

Lets start with overall experience. When first opening you will find everything is nicely packed and all parts are of good quality. Although I have found setup to be pretty simple following the instructions and online setup I can see some people having trouble. What can be hard to figure out is re-calibrating sensors can be confusing. you have to enter device settings and click on the sensors to do a re-calibration. Make sure you have plenty of room! I can not stress this enough, if you don't have enough room to use this properly things will seem glitchy even though they are not. Device works with Steam VR but not as well as native Oculus apps. A lot of people get sick when using VR so make sure you test this in the store before going all out on a VR setup. I found the entire experience of the Oculus to be fantastic when setup properly with the correct amount of room. Be careful what apps you buy for it as a lot of them are more like short demos then full experiences. The feeling of presence and actually being in the VR world is great.

This is definitely the next generation of gaming. The immersion is unmatched and creates a sense of becoming a part of the environment. The price point is finally beginning to be affordable. With the new Oculos 2.0 environment the interactive work space provides an interface that makes choosing a game a true enjoyable experience. My only con is that the headset is very uncomfortable when wearing glasses and should have been designed with a focus ring to allow adjustments for people with prescription glasses. The Samsung gear VR has this feature and costs much less. However, the quality of the image greatly exceeds the Gear VR. This is a must buy and can't wait to see what the next version looks like and is a great beginning to a true VR Experience

My son asked for this for Christmas last year, but it was still too expensive. The price came down to $399 for Oculus Rift Touch this year, so I figured, what the heck, especially with the software update that's coming out now (Oculus Dash... YouTube it), and the Windows Creator update that just rolled out that's all about 3D and mixed reality... Anyway, I bought my son a $900 HP Envy x360 for Christmas last year, and I assumed that a $900 computer should be able to run Oculus. Not true. You need a discrete graphics card (at least a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but preferably a GTX 1060... Big difference between the two, get the GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5)... Intel HD anything won't work because integrated graphics cards aren't powerful enough. You also need an HDMI port and at least 3 USB ports. In short, to get that combination you have to have at least a mid-range gaming laptop ($1200 ish). Regular laptops don't offer that combination, even the high end ones. Desktops that meet the specs aren't much cheaper. Furthermore, you can't get a touchscreen that meets those specs for less than $2,300, and if you want a 2 in 1 touchscreen that meets the specs, you mod-as-well forget it. Long story short, I thought I was buying a $400 gaming system, but with the $1300 computer I'm buying to be able to use it, it's actually a $1700 gaming system... Make sure you check your computer specs before you buys this, and be prepared to give up touchscreen and 2 in 1 for Oculus... That said, Oculus Dash looks awesome, and I can't wait to try it out, when the new computer arrives.

You really do feel transported into new environments and worlds when using the Rift VR. There are a variety of games to select from...many to try for free. I appreciate being able to sort games via comfort level allowing hubby and I to find games we both like to play. Hubby can play and enjoy them all, whereas, I can get a bit motion sick. Our favorite at this time is Audioshield and Slingshot (part of the Lab). Both hubby and I also like how interactive the games are...you can break a sweat in some. Cons are few and we have found work arounds... Con 1...it took a bit of research to find how to play sound on both headgear and tv at same time. You do not need to download any additional apps, just need to find the correct toggles in Windows audio setup. Con 2...sharing the headgear after breaking a sweat is icky. We solved this by each wearing our own sweatbands. Overall... LOVE IT. It's only been about a month and we can't wait to try many more games on the Rift VR and expanding our library.

(Ramble Review so TLDR, if you are looking for a headset pick this one up, price better then Vive and works basically the same) Ok so I hardly review things like this but I have to when it comes to the Rift. I bought this device to work with some of the new ideas of Art with it using your room as a canvas almost and ended up loving the device so much I told most the people I know looking at its competition the "vive" that they should just go with this. And honestly if you debating saving money and getting this but don't want a lesser experience Don't worry this device works great, I would have given a 5 star but for my needs I needed a third sensor, for full 360 near flawlessly, but for the normal user who wants to play some games or just experience VR this is perfect, The only other thing about it is you have to slightly move one sensor off to the side or somewhere to get it to catch you better in case you turn around while using room scale, it came with 6 free programs and i have found myself actually using them, they are not just trash programs, The audio devices are built into the headset instead of being add-ons like the vive, and all around you end up getting the same thing any vive user has while in VR.

I needed to buy a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM to meet the requirements for this but I'm glad I did. My video card is still the bare minimum but I'm having fun with this so far. There is a lot of free software available so you can get used to VR without spending a lot upfront on games. The headset is pretty comfortable even when playing for an hour or more. You do need a fair amount of space to get the most out of this. I have a very small play area but I'm still having fun. If you get motion sickness easy then be careful. This is a solidly built piece of equipment. For the price I'd say it's a very good deal especially with the free games that come with it. If you've been on the fence about VR, this won't disappoint.

Got this during Black Friday Sale. Also added the third sensor required for full 360. I had been researching Oculus Rift vs. HTC Vive for a couple of weeks. I was sort of leaning toward Vive but with the Black Friday sale of $350 that tipped the scales to Oculus. In fact I bought 2 so we can play multiplayer. This is the first generation of serious VR headsets. Forget the cheesy cell phone, e.g., Google Cardboard stuff, this is on an entirely different level. Hopefully with pricing coming down VR will finally explode! I pretty much grew tired of traditional gaming because quite frankly it has become old and repetitive for my tastes. VR however has rekindled the gamer in me. This is awesome stuff and has a bright future ahead in my opinion. It will be interesting what the next generation of VR will bring to the table! Highly recommended!

I say intro because by now a multitude of headsets are hitting the market. For a 350$ price tag it’s still top notch compared to phone vr. The rift has its design flaws but right now every headset has its great positives and negatives. The is by far the funnest way to game or watch any kind of 3d or movie content. The rift controllers feel great in your hand and very natural compared to the htc model. The lenses aren’t the greatest compared to others as well but this is the most bang you get for your buck!

I bought the Oculus Rift + Touch Virtual Reality Headset Bundle, and it was a great deal for the price. I looked into the HTC Vive, but it was $100 dollars more. You can't even get the HTC Vive at Best Buy anymore. I bought it because my friends and I are planning on doing some VR gaming. It was very easy to setup and the VR experience is amazing. The touch controllers are so much better than the larger controllers for the HTC Vive.

Touch controllers are amazing, headset isn't all that comfortable but the tracking is great for the most part, even with the 2 sensors provided

My gosh this thing is freaking amazing. The reactions you get from first time users like friends and family is amazing. And I’ve spent so much money on games my wallet is crying. I love how in expensive this is in comparison to the Vive and I definitely reccomend getting a 3rd sensor, then the tracking is just as good as the vive. My only complaint is the length of the cable for the headset is a couple feet short but that can be easily extended with some inexpensive active cables for hdmi and usb 3.0. Controllers are awesome. If you have the system and the money. I would get this right now or go and try it out some where because it’s an experience you can’t describe. Even though your field of view is only at 110 degrees and the screen resolution isn’t that good, it’s not the system, it’s just the technology we have at the moment. There are higher quality screens but not as good as an overall gameplay experience as the oculus does.

Comparison how far VR has come even to the pre-release unit I owned is amazing.This is fantastic, course far from perfect. The fact that the hand controls are released now really helps out considerably when playing games. The immersion with touch controls is wonderful. Started on an old R9 290 GPU and upgraded to a 1080TI. While most games I can enjoy higher settings the biggest thing that makes a difference is getting the super sampling up to 1.5+ in most things, even a full 2. This increases the resolution and makes text in game much easier to read and things look clearer. There is a few things that are annoying. The tracking stands, if you move them it messes up your tracking unless you re-setup the space. Also with them make sure you have a good space to place them and potentially enough USB cable length because you'll need it. Also sadly while its still new and they are just starting to really release anything like it, but wireless headset. Its annoying being wired but... its not horrible to work with it. Unless you have 2 sensors setup really good in or a 3rd sensor doing a full 360 in-games is most likely not going to happen. The jump back into 3D has renewed my interest in PC games. Even some of them can give decent work outs!

The standard of vr is also one of the most affordable and solid experiences out there. Careful though, due to reducing costs the plastic lenses can get scratched if used with glasses and can get foggy or blurry at times. My first headset was super clear and then got a blur that wouldn't go away so i replaced it with best buys amazing return policy and got a new one. My second one seems to have a little bit of a veil effect on the lenses during some dark pitch black screens other than that a bit of shimmer or glare is noticeable compared to my first headset although maybe I'm too conscious of it's lenses now that my first lenses had a horrible blur that i would focus my eyes on too much and I'm noticing things that i didn't before. Once you're immersed and can ignore all of that it's an amazing and immersive experience but don't expect it too look as sharp as real life or as it would on your tv or monitor. One thing to note is that you'll need a beefy computer to have the best experience so it's hard to recommend to others.

I love the experience of VR. I bought a third camera along with this package and tracking has been amazing. I’ve had my headset for around a year now and do not regret my purchase. However, every once in a while there are always bugs that come with this new technology. There will be bugs with all new technology, but it does start to get a little annoying. For example, SteamVR integration is not very good. That was expected, as they have their own headset to worry about with HTC, but it is a little annoying when you are forced to play a game on the buggy SteamVR UI with your Rift (because of Steam exclusives). The Oculus app works perfectly though. If you have never experienced VR, I’d highly recommend trying a demo out or buying a cardboard headset for your phone just to see how you like it (although the Oculus is on a whole other level of greatness). The pros definitely outweigh the cons with this device and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with VR.

I am impress with the quality and the reality of playing with this headset. I bought both HTC Vive and Oculus Rift; and I admit that Oculus Rift would be the best as it offer more better title of games; and also it is the easiest to setup. For HTC Vive, I admit that it is the most difficult device to setup as I am considered myself as a tech expert. Therefore, I recommend Oculus Rift as it is cheaper, more games, and easier to setup.

Amazing vr experience once you get it set up. Had to exchange my first one due to dead pixels and had some issues setting it up oculos support isn't very helpful. But once it was set up it is amazing and very immersive. The controllers are much more intuitive then the vive.

Definitely would recommend this to anybody interested in VR. I have not tried any of the other options out there but nothing about this system makes me want to try them. It is comfortable and is not extremely difficult to set up. I already had a VR capable computer so it was hassle-free. For the money, and the options available as far as programs and games, I think the Oculus is the best bang for your buck.

As someone who has used both the Oculus and the HTC Vive, a few key differences; The Oculus touch controllers are far more comfortable and feel more accurate in a VR space. The sensors tend to miss certain spots of the room and the setup is a bit more picky than the Vive. The price of the Oculus is definitely a plus. All in all, it's a great product, but needs a pretty good computer to run well

I had been sitting on the fence for awhile about investing in VR. One day I figured what the heck, I'd buy it and if I didn't enjoy it I'd take it back. Well I can say that this won't be going back to Best Buy! The wife and I really enjoy the experience in the respective games we play. It's really amazing and fun! There's a 'WOW' factor every time you put it on to enter into a game world and the Oculus Rift environment. If you have a powerful system to run it, it's worth it! The only downside for me is that the Oculus Rift does not accommodate framed glasses comfortably. 4 stars. I purchased an inexpensive 2nd pair of glasses (frameless) per Oculus Rifts size recommendations and I was good to go with no further issues. My system: 8th gen i7 - 3.70GHz, Asus 1080TI video card, 32 GB RAM, SSD Drive, Win 10 64bit.
