Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Oculus Quest All-in-one VR Gaming Headset

Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020

I adore everything about this system. As soon as it arrived, I unboxed it and was so excited to play with it that I didn't even wait for it to charge -- I just played with it plugged in. Worked amazingly, but obviously it was even better the next time I played without the cord in the way! It's really immersive and freeing to be able to walk around while you're in the games and not have to worry about getting tangled or tripped up. I went to space and I did magic in my first couple days of owning this, and it was a BLAST! The home environment alone is gorgeous and I'm genuinely in awe every time I load in and look up at the aurora above me. I could be happy just lying on the floor and staring up at that for hours!

Everything was really intuitive as far as getting it adjusted to fit my head and eye-width. I didn't even need to consult instructions. It was also really easy to set up with the phone app, and was as simple as entering in a number on the screen inside the headset after it was turned on. I've never used any Oculus products before, so I'm super impressed with the headset and controllers and how well everything worked. I had no issues with everything recognizing each other or working in the games. The games don't seem to take up much space at all, so I'm glad I went ahead with just the 64gb version. The library itself isn't yet massive, but there's a good variety of different genres and things to check out as well has new things being added! Plus, if you get the link cable, you can also play Rift games and that opens up a whoooole new world of games.

I 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to get into VR or anyone who's already into VR and just wants that wireless experience.

This thing is surreal. Once i got it and had it ready to go I was blown away and amazed at what I have been missing. I was thrown into a tutorial to get yourself acclimated with VR and the Quest which that in itself was mind blowing. It feels weird at first when you are interacting with things because you loose your sense of touch. So it felt funny picking things up yet still very cool. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling because it literally like leaving your reality and being placed in another. It was beautiful. You felt there. So after the tutorial I immediately downloaded and jumped on Star Wars Immortal. Graphics were stunning and out of this world. I remember the first time I had Darth Vader walk up to me. I was terrified, excited, and almost cried. (But I didn't) He felt like he was right there in front of me. VR really changes the game. After getting my Star Wars rocks off I decided to go exploring and see what other secrets this guy held.

Hand Tracking- I found out that this thing has hand tracking. Its in development but they have a working beta build. And yes hand tracking without a PC or light boxes. It calibrates your hands then once down put the controllers down and use your hands. Now of course you would guess the first gesture any guy would do in this situation. Haha Anyways, it needs more work but it works almost flawlessly.

Visuals-For a stand alone Headset this thing packs a punch on visuals. Everything looks great. I mean I have yet to try out some of the wired VR headsets and what not but from what I have experience there is no lack luster in graphics with the Quest.

Games- Now this is were I believe the quest lacks. There really isn't that many games that I would want to play. I am all about the VR FPS games like Onward, High Caliber, Pavlow, etc. None of these games are on Quest YET but from what I have read they are on there way but slowly. But then again this downside can be countered in the next topic below.

Doubles as a Rift headset- Holy smokes, you can literally turn this VR headset into a Rift if you want to. All you have to do is have a compatible cord and you probably want to get a LONG one, plug it into your PC or Laptop, and you are in business. I just happen to stumble across this one day and it makes it even better. One of the cool things is being able to sit in my lazy boy, headset on, and control my computer via VR. This means no keyboard no moue nadda just have dual screens up in one of many nice cozy settings and just be on my PC without the constraints of keyboard and mouse. This also means all the games that are available on Rift you can play via the wired Quest/Rift setup. And they run great!

Game Pricing- One of things I thought would be a bit harsh are the game prices. Knowing all the big pricey games that are not VR I thought these games would fall into that same category. To my amazement however they don't! I was able to get 4 games and only spent maybe 80 bucks. The most priciest games go for that I have seen is 40 bucks. They are cheap.

Exercise- This thing will kick your butt if you not in shape like me. But at the same time you're having so much fun you'll barely notice. I played the boxing game Creed demo and almost passed out because it really makes you work. You have to swing, block, dodge, move around, etc. Me being me I've never boxed a day in my life so I got winded halfway into the second round. And if you get knocked down you have to move your arms in a running motion to move back towards the light or consciousness. The more you get knocked down the more you have to run back and harder. Eventually I was able to knock my opponent completely out in the 5th round. I was sweating, sore, winded, tired, etc. But I put my arms up in the air like how boxers do after they win and felt like a champ when the crowd was cheering for my victory. Next day I felt like I went to the gym and hit it kinda hard. Mind you I am completely out of shape. There are loads of other games available that can be meant for exercise. Perfect while we are quarantined.

Side Effects- Now this kinda can be different for each user. For me I experience what they called if I can remember something like VR disconnect. Basically you VR for long hours then you take a break but what happens is your brain is all screwy where you pick things up or touch things. It doesn't register right away that you are touching or holding something. So you pick something up and for a small second you can't feel it or you feel like your brain is lagging. To me I was far from freaked out but actually found it interesting and cool. But the more you VR the less this will happen. Though there are some other serious mental side effects that can happen but for me I experience none of them except my brain being slow. I would Google them before hand so you know what you could expect.

All in all there is so much going for this thing and Oculus has done right by VR. If you are not strapped for cash and can definitely afford this? Do it. Do it. Do it!

Wonderful, Futuristic, HL: Alyx is amazing.

This is the new revolution of gaming peripheries. Xbox, if you read this and go through with it, you better pay me handsomely. Now that Half-Life: Alyx is out, its been proven that a triple AAA Dev Team can sink a decent cash flow into VR and actually make money, enjoyable and extremely immersive experiences.
So SONY, after you contact me, the Playstation 5 should be obviously a console but most important, A VR ready media center. Whoever does that wins the console race.
THIS IS MY IDEA NO ONE HAD EVER THOUGHT OF SUCH AN IDEA, I WILL TELL YOU HOW AS LONG AS YOU HAND ME LEGAL TENDER. -people saying they thought of this.. those are liars.

price gouge? yes, but with link + a good PC more than matches the rift s

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020

Size: 64gbVerified Purchase

Buying this only for the mobility? Probably a mistake. However, with link- which is fully functional now- and a few accessories this quickly turns into a slightly less gouged rift S, with perhaps slightly poorer image quality due to lower refresh rate and lowered resolution in link because of the requirement to push through USB-3(A->C). Unsure of how the quality would be with the more expensive link cable from oculus since they don't exist.

Note: rather front heavy so be prepared to make a makeshift counterweight with zip ties if needed

Great for playing PC vr w/ link and a nice PC, with the option to play wirelessly even over 5ghz wifi connected to said PC through virtual desktop fiddling, plus being able to go wirelessly for simple video viewing or less demanding games- which are sadly often gated behind the quest-only store (with some great cross exceptions such as gun club!)

essentially: as a vr set by itself, kinda useless after the novelty. With a PC to emulate it as a rift, well worth being price gouged, especially in these trying times. H3VR is absolutely nuts.

Do your research on what you want before you buy, though, unlike me. I lucked into being satisfied after enough fiddling but if you can wait two months, probably best to bite the bullet and get the Valve Index, since by the time you get done with price gouging + accessories you're nearing $800 anyway sometimes

final note: oculus link DOES WORK and 8/10 well, it works over virtual desktop wirelessly or through usb 3 cables -> usb c, kinda heavy, might be uncomfortable to some, if prices lower and aren't gougy may want to consider other headsets if you intend on playing on PC mostly. But in place of a rift S, this is a fine buy with the right technical knowledge.

Expensive for good reasons!

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020

So I'm new to virtual reality and during times like these I thought it would benefit me to buy the oculus. Now I got the quest only because you are able to move freely and also play on PC. People complain about the front end being heavy and how the quality downgrades just a bit making things look a bit fuzzy. But honestly you forget about it after using it past 2 minutes! It's honestly mind-blowing how the system operates and how much the thing made me move so much in such little time. Now it's unfortunate that I had to pay around $600+ for it due to high demand and limited supply, but it's a decision I made and I'm not regretting it.

I got all the games I want to play and so much free time to play them all on my new VR. Now in terms of third party accessories you may find it difficult to decide what's best for you. There are a lot of things you need to be prepared for when purchasing the quest. It mostly has to do with whether or not you can afford the games you want to play after buying the oculus so keep that in mind. I recommend You go for "Superhot" and "Vader Immortal" (If you like swordplay), but what I don't recommend is Beat saber on the Oculus app you're better off buying it on steam so you can get that crisp quality and customize your game with new songs and stuff [you need an alternative quest link to play PC games].

Anyways I'm having a good time and I hope you do as well.

Fun but overpriced

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020

Size: 64gbVerified Purchase

Product was great! Shipping was slow but understandably so due to the Covid-19 concern. I probably should have looked into what I was buying first because you are not able to play games such as Skyrim, Half Life, or some other big titles on this Oculus Quest headset, but regardless, it is still very fun to use. I was not able to find the actual true price for this product but it is much too expensive for it’s worth. I got the 64GB with the lowest price shipping and still cost me a total of $600. It would be more worth it if I was able to play the games that I want to (and I know that does not have anything to do with the seller!) but regardless it was way overpriced for what you get. If you want a VR headset make sure you do your research so you get what you want at a reasonable price!!

Definitely purchase if you’re on the fence

Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2020

This is an amazing piece of technology. VR has come a long way since the days of Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. I was skeptical about the experience this generation of VR would provide so it took a lot (primarily being stuck in my NYC apt during COVID-19 crisis) to pull the trigger. I’ve had it for two days now and I’m blown away! We’ll see how long this last but there’s plenty of content available. Seems like new games, applications, and experiences are added with regular frequency. If you are considering purchasing a VR headset, I would highly recommend the Oculus Quest. I purchased the larger capacity model just so I wouldn’t have to delete purchases to create space.

Facebook ruined the party

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2023

Size: 128gbVerified Purchase

Now this is "Meta" it's metafrustrating to login. We login with Facebook and enter the 6 digit 2 factor and it spins and spins. We reboot and try again. Nothing. We went to support and they are not helpful so we went to Reddit and found some workarounds but those are closed now with latest updates. Found another workaround and we can't use it unless one person can login with account. So it's a brick and now going to get refunds for all the apps from credit card or find a class action lawsuit going on that has users frustrated they can't access their apps. This makes me question if I even want Facebook as a part of my life. This was a wake up call to not even tinker with this stuff anymore and just read a book, go for hikes, and stop chasing virtual reality and start living my own reality. So than you Facebook, Meta, Mark, whatever you call yourself... I have a reason to quit and you gave it to me. Join me and see you outside on the pickleball courts. No Facebook login required to play that game - ever.

You will get VR sickness. You can overcome it

Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020

When i frist started using the oculus quest. I would get very dizzy. it would mess with my brain. this is coming from a 30 year old who's been doing PC gaming for a long time.

Now, you can play games right off the device. battery lasts about 1-2 hours per charge and the initial software is pretty solid and only a few minor issues with hand tracking sometimes getting lost. but nothing too annoying.

Beta link for the PC is buggy! the overlays can cause some seriously bad headace inducing Glitches and Performance loss, there is allot of factors to consider such as your type of Cable link to your PC. There are a ton of options to tweak and try.

running off - 8350fx 32gb ram, 970gtx windows 10

get a 10 foot or more cable and make sure to secure your Cables so they dont pull on the USB ports "Wear it out" much like a 3 year old phone with a loose charging cable."

also recommend getting Rechargeable double AA batteries system as the controllers Eat through Batteries.

Definitely worth it but you pay to get it sooner

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020

Size: 64gbVerified Purchase

I rate this 5 stars for the product itself. I bought this for the Vader Immortal games and as soon as I got it I was addicted. I usually play it everyday for a couple of hours. My girlfriend loves it. My family loves it. It is so much fun and fun for parties and having friends over. My only problems are... 1) To cast what your seeing to a TV you have to get a Chromecast. You can do it through a phone but the phone usually can't handle it. It has to be a 3rd generation Chromecast at least which is about $35. 2) This seller sold it the cheapest which was $600. And that's for the 64gb. You can go to Oculus themselves and buy the 128gb for $100 less then that. So you pretty much are spending an extra $200 just to get it sooner. Was it worth it? Yes for sure if you have that kinda money. Otherwise get it from Oculus for $400 instead
