Love the immersion. It does make travel a bit nauseating until you get used to it, but once you do it's kind of detracted by the non-realistic blocky images in many of the programs. It just seems like the programs could be a bit less "fake" Pro: a large and growing variety of programs and games available Pro: if you create a boundary in one room, and then use it in a different room it remembers the boundary when you go back to the original room. So far it has created and remembered 3 boundaries in my home (so I don't know if there's a limit or not) Con: the original head strap = horrible.

Con: Battery life isn't terrible, but there is NO notification before it just shuts down right in the middle of game/activity, ugh! :( It should flash a warning or something, but nope, just blip, shutting down.

THIS IS A FULL REVIEW Finding a review to explain exactly what the VR experience entails is a difficult one Many simply state it being hard to explain and just buy one to find out The problem with this is that it is a very expensive way of just jumping in blind to find out for yourself I made the plunge after years of doubt, and having unsuccessfully found anywhere to trial one Well, i wasnt disappointed Trying to describe the VR experience is in fact as hard as others have said, but i think the experience can be described in order to give a sense of what it offers Visuals - i can best describe my experience, using the Oculus Quest, as giving an immersive, 3D / holographic type of experience.

Back in the 80's our school had a travelling science group who showed us holograms, looking through boxes or tubes, seeing the visual holograms of certain objects, animals etc.These images appeared 3 dimensional, and also appeared to be, in a sense, floating within this infinite 3 dimension space. This is the experience that VR, in general, offers. Take Robo Recall for example, my first outing in to VR It immerses you in what feels (or the brain is tricked) like a real life city, albeit in an obvious computer game graphical visual. However, where it shines is that interactions while fighting/shooting the robots, in that they appear correctly, at various distances, scaled correctly, shadow details, etc and the rendered 'box' of the robots is incredibly accurate. 'Grabbing or shooting at the robot, gives a real sense that they are actually there, in front of you (or behind) and you find yourself reacting automatically to duck dodge or block them. VR is this ability to construct a 3 dimensional arena/world, and tricking the brain to immerse you as if it were real. The only thing that holds you on to actual reality is the obvious computer rendered images you see (and the occasional hitting your knuckles on a nearby desk or wall Oculus Quest Unit Hardware This unit is my first jump in to VR, so i have nothing to compare it to, however, I've bought many an item over the years, and can clearly judge that this item is of top rated build quality The plastics are hard, feel sturdy, have differing surface finishes depending on if its where you would normally hold or touch. The straps are adjustable, feel strong and hard wearing. The foam padding is comfy and soft, and does an excellent job of block out light. The lenses / screens have an adjustment facility for those with eye issues. I have on eye with long distance issues, however i can wear my oculus with out my glasses and have no issues with seeing clearly. It is possible to buy lense inserts from the Oculus approved company by giving them your prescription I havent opened up the unit to look at the internals (nor will I), but this unit uses OLED screens with a high resolution, a high brightness, and the blackest of blacks. The refresh rate doesnt cause any tearing or slowdowns when things get fast paced. The battery has a supposed life of around 2 hours, ive achieved slightly higher than this, but it will depend on the software, games etc that you are running. The touch controllers are superb, and i was blown away with how accurate the xyz position and displaying of these were on the unit. Software This area was a surprise for me, id had a quick look and saw a few games ertc, but it wasnt until i installed the oculus app on my phone (this is required on initial first turn on of unit) and the oculus app on my pc (not required to play on oculus), that i saw the shear amount of additional software tools available. The Quest can be run as a standalone unit, using just the Quest store for software. However, plug in a cable and attach it to your VR capable PC opens up a whole 'rift' of possibilities. This software, Oculus Link' enables the quest to access the Rift store, hereby giving full access to the complete list of software available on the PC based Rift store, thus opening even more games and apps. From there you can also instal SteamVR, and access the VR content on the Steam store. This whole process is a simple case of buying the correct USB-C to C cable (must be capable of delivering power and data, normally advertised as 10GB cables) and allowing the oculus pc software detect your headset, install the Oculus Link software (in Beta, but its works well), then on the Quest home screen, you simply click on the beta link button and it transfers you to the Rift home screen and store. For steam it requires SteamVR (which is in your 'tools' folder not games) The oculus software enables you to map out your room, drawing around everything using the touch controllers, this gives you a safe area, and the system will bring up a grid on your eye screens when you get too close (this can be adjusted and changed very easily if you use the Quest in another room etc. As the quest version is primarily wire free, portability function is great on this) run out of characters lol

The quest is the first VR system I've personally owned, though I had experience playing a friends Oculus Rift in the past on a few occasions. The benefit of not being held down by cords alone makes this system far superior to the RIft in my mind, as it is such a freeing experience to have a VR system to adapt to any size room you can find (you could literally take this in a warehouse or garage and use the entirety of the space. The camera's are surprisingly accurate when it comes to keeping track of the barriers in your room (you draw the barriers on first use in a sort of infrared looking vision of your room), and the controllers are TOP NOTCH accurate.

I am honestly so impressed with facebook continually pushing upgrades to this system (now rolling out full hand tracking *without controllers* in the menu screens, the ability to switch to camera view if you say - need to use the Restroom, Oculus Link Beta, etc). They easily could have gone the route of a certain phone maker, and put out countless headset versions every year, but the fact they are really trying to hone in on all the possible uses of the technology before baiting customers into an upgrade says a lot about their studio. With Oculus Link Beta you can now also hook your Quest up to a gaming desktop/gaming laptop, and use ALL of the functions of the Rift, and to my knowledge with better headset resolution than the Rift. I WILL SAY, Link Beta is still RIDDLED with technical glitches when it comes to the set up process, it can be quite finicky to get it connected to the oculus app on your desktop, and sometimes fails... but once you are set up and rolling, the ability to access the entire SteamVR library is HUGE. If you are a hardcore gamer and don't plan to delve into Link Beta/PC-VR, you may find the oculus quest store *curated by Facebook* game and app selection to be a tiny bit limited, but I have a lot of respect for the vision of FB to only allow apps they see as worthy of their store. SteamVR, though huge in its app and game database, is riddled with paid apps that offer horrible experiences on a technical level (and yes reviews exist to warn of such things, but still) and contains a TON of adult XXX content, making the quest especially a no brainer for parents who are buying for kids, as FB does not allow any xxx content on the quest store. The value of getting a quest for around the same price as a standard new gaming system, while having a completely engaging and otherworldly experience is astonishing to me, kudos to FB on the price

The resolution is a nice improvement over the original Quest. The way the headset fits is not as nice as the original Quest. The adjustment for the interpupillary distance is poor and only allows for notches and not a continual adjustment and the headset must be taken off to do the adjustment. It was much nicer on the original Quest. The Quest 2 is faster than the original and tracks better. The quest button on the right handset works better than in the original. Over all I'm happy with the Quest 2 but a bit sad that in some features they did not keep what was nice in the original.
If you've never tried a proper VR headset before, i.e. one with two controllers not the terrible phone-as-a-screen Google cardboard type things, then this is the perfect starting point! I've owned a Dell Visor, which is a Windows Mixed Reality headset for a while now and can honestly say the Quest is just a little bit better in every single way! Having tried the Rift S, it's clear the Rift S is the very slightly better headset - better fit and optics - however that's not standalone/wireless and that's a huge difference to the freedom and total lack of faff/requirement for a decent gaming PC that the Quest gives you!Pros:The controllers are much more ergonomic, the setup time/faff is absolutely minimal (you put on the headset, it tells you to draw your play zone ... MoreIf you've never tried a proper VR headset before, i.e. one with two controllers not the terrible phone-as-a-screen Google cardboard type things, then this is the perfect starting point!

Having tried the Rift S, it's clear the Rift S is the very slightly better headset - better fit and optics - however that's not standalone/wireless and that's a huge difference to the freedom and total lack of faff/requirement for a decent gaming PC that the Quest gives you!Pros:The controllers are much more ergonomic, the setup time/faff is absolutely minimal (you put on the headset, it tells you to draw your play zone and you're done), the cable-free nature of it means you can really spin around freely without getting tangled up.With Oculus Link also available now you can also plug into a PC and play all your usual SteamVR games - or use apps such as Virtual Desktop or ALVR etc. to stream the games to your Quest wirelessly! Note that not all USB cables work for Oculus Link, you need a decent quality cable that supports fast data transfer and not just a charge cable (the supplied charging cable does not work for example). If you have a search around there are recommendations of which to get - if they aren't out of stock!Oh, you can also cast your Quest screen to a supported Chromecast (unfortunately that means a 3rd Gen Chromecast, or the Nvidia Shield) so that the people around you can watch and hear what you're doing.Cons:The headset is front-heavy, so it rests just below the bottom of your eyes/on the upper cheeks. This can be fixed by adding a counterweight of some kind to the back of the head strap - people recommend a battery pack so you can recharge easily on the go.Oculus Store - out of the box the only way you can buy/play games is via the in-built Oculus Store which tbf isn't bad, but the selection of games is not very large, especially compared to the desktop Oculus Store or SteamVR. As mentioned above though you can play games from those stores by plugging in a decent USB cable.Cross-platform games are actually quite rare (by this I mean games in SteamVR or the Oculus Desktop Store, and games in the Oculus Quest Store). Take Beat Saber for example, if you buy that on Steam, or on the Oculus Desktop Store, you cannot play natively on the Quest, you'd have to plug in and use Oculus link. The reason for this is native Quest games are Android games and games running on the PC are obviously not Android games. Some developers will let you purchase one and have it on both platforms, however it seems the majority require you to buy on both, with the reason being they have to do more development to support both which I guess is kind of fair enough. Hurts the wallet if you already own a bunch of games on Steam and have to re-buy them again for native Quest play (e.g. Beat Saber, Superhot, etc)!Battery life isn't great, if you're playing something intense you're talking 3-4 hours or so, but I rarely get time to play such long stints and it does charge fairly fast so it's not a deal breaker for me.
It's been a bit over a week since the Oculus Quest arrived at my doorstep, and I feel that I've had enough time and experience with it to form a worthwhile opinion.The Quest is great, very great, very very great if you're the sort of crazy VR enthusiast who has no problem with spending half a grand for what is basically a souped up Viewmaster.Okay, that was harsh. Actually, it's likely that the first time you put on this headset, and see a UI that isn't just glued to the glass of your screen, but actually feels like it has presence in the world in front of you, you will be amazed. For me, the only reason I decided that I would get a Quest is because of a VR roller coaster that used the Oculus Go.

Actually, it's likely that the first time you put on this headset, and see a UI that isn't just glued to the glass of your screen, but actually feels like it has presence in the world in front of you, you will be amazed. For me, the only reason I decided that I would get a Quest is because of a VR roller coaster that used the Oculus Go. When I put on that headset for the first time and saw the permanence of the virtual world around me, I knew that I would eventually buy a VR headset. That time has come.Still, I cannot fully recommend the Oculus Quest, because while it does come close to realizing the VR Sci-fi fantasy, a few little problems add up to drag you out of your immersion.For one, the headset is really heavy. I wouldn't consider myself particularly waifish, but if you wear this headset for an extended period of time, it will bear down upon you and force you to take a break from using it.Secondly, the viewing angles aren't quite there yet either. I wear glasses, but even when I take them off and put the headset on without the spacer installed, I can't not notice the darkness at the periphery of my view. It's like you're staring through a set of binoculars or through a porthole.Although I'm told that the battery life for the Quest isn't very long, although it's rendered moot by me not being able to go more than 2 or 3 hours without having to take the thing off. Is it just the weight or is it added motion sickness? I can' tell for sure.Regardless, as much as I want to give the Oculus Quest five stars, I can't. A few years from now Oculus or another company will bring out another standalone headset that will be lighter, have a wider FOV and have higher refresh rates, resolution, graphics etc. For people who want to wait until VR is absolutely perfect, the Quest isn't it. For people who want something that's just good enough? Something that will be looked back on for how primitive it was decades from now? For people who want to get in on the ground floor and ride the VR wave all the way up to full immersion VR? Sure, the Quest is a great entry point.
Invest in prescription lens covers or contacts. Do not wear glasses with it as their lenses don't even have a basic scratch resistance coating.One can scale the distance ones eyes are away from one another via hardware, but this feature does not have a lock or sufficient pressure to keep it needing readjustment during extended play sessions or play sessions that require a lot of movement (think Beat Saber type movement).Aside from that, you have to go into the dev options to increase the resolution manually, otherwise it is as HD as the Oculus Rift. The OLED is nice but lacking even cr and replaceable lens protectors similar how to the prescription ones work and no easy way to replace the lenses makes me rate this product as not being ready for the consumer ... MoreInvest in prescription lens covers or contacts.

The OLED is nice but lacking even cr and replaceable lens protectors similar how to the prescription ones work and no easy way to replace the lenses makes me rate this product as not being ready for the consumer market.The cloth wrap to it does not seem to come off and easily gets dirty... should be a removable cloth (wrap) or (easily cleanable) plastic.They should include or partner to sell a USB-C female to USB-A adapter as whilst finding one was not hard, most will be disgruntled with the Oculus Link without such an adjustment. I have a USB-C port but wanted to test it as such as most people do not.The Guardian walls are quite nice and necessary to make VR closer to consumer grade.A lot of games on Quest are low res versions of their Steam counterparts, which while I expected it, the titles on the Quest need to more accurately represent themselves as such.Is the only mobile VR gaming platform to not us a phone with more notably a hoop jumping wireless desktop gaming experience.The interfaces are goofy. When in Oculus Link mode, there is no HUD when "Home" to check the battery levels... have to exit out of link mode. If one only cares about the headset battery level, one can look at the Oculus desktop app through built-in Oculus Link virtual desktop.If there is a way, it is not clear how to add additional virtual monitors in addition to the physical ones. When placing screens, if their face is up or down they won't curve... unlike when the screen's edge is facing the floor/ceiling... makes for a less comfortable ti lay down and watch media on the OLED screen... in real life I think curved screens from home entertainment are a stupid as unlike a movie theater, the scaling anglez and distance are likely unideal for all but one person... albeit nice in VR.I don't find it notable but could see it being an issue for others:If you have a boney face the headset might not be comfortable and the headstrong takes some adjusting... it being slightly off can make the difference between pain and comfort... wish there were locks of some sort to keep it from anguarly shifting as well as a way to strap it under your chin for those games that require a bit more movement.The headset seems to be nitpick about charging... I have to unplug and replug in my charger at times despite my phone being able to charge from the charger when I test to make sure it is not the charger. theSummary:I have played a lot of games and due to COVID-19 I invested in VR. Being a fan of OLED and seeing this was the same resolution as the Valve Index, I decided upon this. If it weren't for the various gripes, mainly being no replaceable lens protectors and what could be considered at best to be misleading advertising regarding the resolution, then this would be a 4 star headset at least. Until they accurately represent the stock vs capable resolution and make it possible to change the resolution from inside the headset or Oculus App non-dev GUI... as well as start selling or partner to sell lens protectors if not cost effective and easily replaced lenses, this will be a 2 star product. Therafer with various other quality of life improvements it could easily be a 4-5 star headset.
The device is great, for all the reasons others have mentioned. I just wanted to confirm that the Quest doesn’t work well with mesh Wi-Fi networks UNLESS you can name your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands independently, and then select one of them through the Quest. If you have an Orbi system, as I do, you cannot separate your 2.4 and 5 GHz bands and so they’ll share the same SSID. The Quest will connect to one band, then for various reasons switch bands and you’ll lose your connection. I can’t watch a movie or even a 20 minute video without having to reconnect to Wi-Fi. This make streaming content or online play practically impossible. Oculus (Facebook) has no solution on the horizon as near as I can find. There are work-arounds but it means you’ll likely end up with ... MoreThe device is great, for all the reasons others have mentioned.

There are work-arounds but it means you’ll likely end up with connection issues with other devices on your network or you’ll lose speed or range.The only other issue I’m dealing with is how much pressure the front-heavy device puts on my forehead and cheekbones. It’s essential to pay attention to the simple directions when putting on and adjusting the head strap. Too many users don’t pay attention and wear it incorrectly and have a much worse experience. For me, although adjusted correctly, I find the pressure on my face still causes some discomfort after an hour or less. I’ve ordered some accessories to help with this, so you may want to become familiar with some of those.Otherwise, I enjoy this a lot and find it a very worthy mini-upgrade to my Rift or the Rift S. The fact you can (for $80) get the Oculus Link and basically use this just like the Rift S, but have a higher resolution OLED screen and access to all the titles available...or unplug it and use it anywhere, is really fantastic. Even without connecting it to a gaming PC, the experience is wonderful.Oh, if you plan on using the beta hand-tracking feature, make sure you room is well lit or the sensors will struggle to detect your hands correctly.Otherwise, get one!
I really wanted to love this product and I am a major fan of VR . I currently Own Oculus Rift, Oculus GO, and PSVR. I recently returned my Oculus quest after pre ordering and patiently waiting for it to show up on release day. After Picking up, Unboxing and charging my device per included instructions I started my Oculus Quest. I was greeted by the familiar Oculus logo and and startup jingle (Pure Excitement) I linked my Facbook account and purchased over $130 in software Beat Saber,Vader Immortal ETC.I was dissapointed that none of the Oculus Go software I purchased Migrated over to the Oculus Quest (that's what I get for assuming.) Oh well I figured Oculus never made such a claim.After I installed my software and started playing in game the controllers would ... MoreI really wanted to love this product and I am a major fan of VR .

Oh well I figured Oculus never made such a claim.After I installed my software and started playing in game the controllers would constantly freeze in virtual mid air and have to be reset by pulling out the battery and placing the battery back in. Now Oculus actually shows this technique of resetting you controllers in their trouble shooting guide(So its a known Issue) but the frequency of removing my visor opening ,opening controller pulling battery reinserting battery every 10-15 minutes in VR was ridiculous. I placed a work ticket with oculus and the advice I was given was to do what I inherently knew to do restart ,reboot, Reconnect. I was then advised to perform a factory reset on my device which I was avoiding because it takes several hours to re install all the software I purchased. The factory reset (DOES NOT) reinstall the OS it only erases your personal data off the machine. So if there is a "Software Issue" with the device you really cant fix it. Finally by day five of back and forth with the unconcerned and kick the can down the road techs I decided to return the device for a full refund.Now I can't even refund the software that I purchased for this machine since I wasted so much time with the Harware and software techs from Oculus.My advice if you purchase this product is buy the insurance try only demos for the first couple of days and if you experience controller freeze immediately return this product. Nothing you can do from home will fix it and you will only get the run around from Oculus support.I plan to re purchase this item so don't think this is a complete bash of the product. I just feel this products Quality control is not the best.
I had to purchase this headset somewhere else, because I ordered through bestbuy with next day shipping (which I paid extra for), and 4 days later it still had not shipped so I contacted them. After much hassle and back and forth between them and ups I discovered they never shipped the product and after I had already paid and been charged for the full price customer service informed me that they did not have any in stock. Even though the site said there was was some in stock AND let me complete my transaction. They offered no adequate compensation of any sort not even so much as an apology for the mixup. I'm hesitant to make any purchases through bestbuy ever again because there is no excuse for such blatant lack of regard for customers. They should have immediately ... MoreI had to purchase this headset somewhere else, because I ordered through bestbuy with next day shipping (which I paid extra for), and 4 days later it still had not shipped so I contacted them.

I'm hesitant to make any purchases through bestbuy ever again because there is no excuse for such blatant lack of regard for customers. They should have immediately contacted me when the product did not ship the day it was supposed to and inquired about what to do next when they discovered it was not in stock for some reason even though it was when I purchased it, therfore it should have been delivered to me as such. It is one thing to do that with a small purchase, but this being a 500 dollar transaction they should have acknowledged that they should probably keep better track of their sad excuse for basic logistics. There is no excuse that I had to call them several different times to get a straight answer for why my package didn't ship.The product:4/5 Stars. Amazing quality VR experience with a versatile amount of games and ways to play. If you have a pc capable of VR and want to be able to play wireless this is the way to go. I have so much fun playing all of the games i have either native quest games, or streaming from my pc. This as a first headset is perfect if youre looking to get into vr and have never experienced it before I highly recommend it (phone vr doesn't count, because that pales in comparison even to this, which is technically the entry level VR headset). Most people modify the headset for comfort and functionality which i also recommend. The device itself performs great, but to be honest the original headstrap is not the most comfortable and doesn't counterbalance the weight from your face. Also the stock audio solution on the quest is underwhelming compared to the fidelity of quality speakers or a headset that are available from other headsets. You can use HTC vive's deluxe audio strap if you'd like to modify the headset for better audio and a more comfortable strap all at once. It makes the headset the quality it should be out of the box which is fantastic. But its an extra 100$ to shell out on an already expensive purchase. These things are not necessary to enjoy the headset, but it turns it from the 'budget, entry level' hmd it was meant to be into a much higher quality experience that you will love and enjoy for hours and hours over and over again. I honestly haven't played a non VR game since getting my headset. Ive always been an avid gamer, but experiencing vr has been such a game changer for me and has made gaming a fun and exciting experience for me again. I had gotten to the point where my favorite hobby turned into something daunting and undesirable and found I wasn't even having fun like I always used to playing video games. The oculus quest (with a little help from my gaming pc) has reinvigorated my love and passion for gaming and given me some of the best experiences I could ever ask for as a gamer. If you're on the fence, don't have a gaming pc but want vr, have a good pc but don't want to deal with wires, have kids and not a lot of space to play in your 'computer space', i highly recommend this product. It doesn't offer as high quality VR as the higher end devices, but i will say that the freedom to play wireless (standalone or streaming from pc) is well beyond worth it. I want others to be able to get the joy and incredible experiences I have had with VR. I think if you're thinking about, you should do yourself a favor and buy one. I am so happy I finally got a vr headset, so hopefully, you will be too. (The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because I don't like the original headstrap and had to spend 100+ extra dollars to make it to my liking).
