★★★★★ These awesome headphones are really great for my teenage son!!!! He uses them for many different uses!; including school work while at home! But he mainly uses them for his PS4 GAMING ADDICTION!!!!😂. These have really nice sound quality!!! He especially loves the cool microphone on the headset so he can speak to friends while playing! And the sound is clear!!! They are well-made & durable & will last for a long time. The headphones are very comfortable on his ears & my son can wear them for a long time without any discomfort...unfortunately!😅😅He highly recommends these headphones....Your GAMER will love them or anyone else that just needs an awesome noise-cancelling headset!!!♥️Great Product!
★★★★★ I ordered these for working at home and they are the best head set I've ever had. The over the ear cuffs, and the over the head cushions are extremely comfortable. This head set is light weight so wearing it 8-10 hours a day does not hurt my neck at all. The sound is amazing, when I first tried them I was in awe, unbelievable sound quality! They're super cute in baby pink, the side lights are fun although I don't really use them, they can be easily turned off with a simple push of a button. Has a mute button for the mic, and volume control wheel. The cord is longer so it frees up movement, I can stand up, and move around when I need to stretch the legs, and it's fabric covered for durabilty. Over all I am very happy with this purchase, and highly recommend them! Enjoy!
★★★★★ I'm using these on a laptop running Windows 10 mainly for listening to music. My PC immediately identified them after plugging into USB port, working out of the box.Their sound is awesome. You can hear bass nicely and detailed sounds. They can be very loud, almost like a speaker if you are not wearing them at their highest volume. The volume controls in the cable are easy to use controlling both volume and turning mic on and off.They are very comfortable. The material by each ear is soft, leather like and fits nicely over my ears. Top of the arch is also soft and comfortable material.
★★★★★ We purchased these after trying three other brands and having problems that ranged from very uncomfortable to wear one pair actually went beyond comfort and hurt to wear. We had feedback real bad with one pair. Another pair nobody could understand what was being said.I don’t have the money for the real expensive ones so I shopped and found these on Amazon with decent reviews a couple not great ones. Well I decided to try them out for my two teenage boys to be used on PS4.I am surprised at the incredible performance of these earphones and mic the sound is crystal clear both coming in and heard as well as going out using the mic.I can’t say enough about these they are built strong and work perfect the value is awesome.
★★★★★ I bought this headset for myself, since I just started playing games online. Every gaming headset I found online are primary colors, so I was happy to find this purple one since it's my favorite color. This headset is super comfortable because they mold perfectly on my ears, and I can wear them for many hours without any issues. The microphone crisp and clear, and I can speak to my friend while I am gaming. They are very easy to use, since they are plug and play. The surround sound is unparalleled and I have started using it to listen to my music and watch movies while I am on line since I have two monitors. The headband is also adjustable, so if my sons want to use my headset, they can adjust it to their liking easily. Great gaming headset!
★★★★★ Ok, so I have to base this on what was told to me, I bought these for my granddaughter's 16th birthday, and she loves them. She was setting up her system so I made her try them on her cell phone while we did video chat and she was amazed at the quality, so was I because I didn't know she plugged them in at the time but her voice suddenly became much clearer, that is until she muted herself and I made a funny face, she started laughing and I could hear her again. If I could I'd give more stars!!! Instead I ordered me a pair for myself! (She didn't become the lil gamer girl out of nowhere ya know.) Now we can both go in and play together (when it arrives) C.O.D!!! LOOK OUT HERE WE COME!
★☆☆☆☆ One of the tops of the Tripod Stand cannot be screwed in because of an error in their manufacturing. As seen in the pictures, the first picture shows the broken one in which they placed in the screw cap in the opposite way. I spent a good half an hour trying to spin the top into the tripod until I realized it was just built wrong once I compared it with the working one. I've included the working one in the second picture as proof and comparison.While some products having mistakes are understood, this one was painfully simple and could have been easily discovered/fixed if ANYONE checked if parts were working before this was packaged. The lack of quality assurance is honestly more disappointing than purchasing a defective VR Tripod stand.I would have given this product a negative star if allowed. Absolutely disheartening.
★☆☆☆☆ I purchased this product and only received 1 ball joint. This issue has been ongoing since 2019 (review made is one of the most helpful tagged ones). If you get one with a missing part you cannot get the part replacement, you'll have to go through returning the entire product, receiving a refund, then reordering the product.Do not purchase this if you have an immediate use (in my case it was to use for webcams for work during COVID, not for gaming) because it may not bring all that is necessary.
★★☆☆☆ Bought these for my vive, at first they were amazing worked as intended was easy to adjust the height. Was starting to move around my setup and was trying to collapse the tripod to move it around, but one of the clamps broke that snap it back in place. I have only adjusted the height of the tripod for the camera a couple of times, and don't think its a cause of wear and tear. I will be looking to refund the product and might re-buy again or look for a different tripod.Overall: Solid tripod for VR. Does what it is advertised, already assembled out of the box. You just need to adjust the height, mount the camera and you're good to go. Unfortunately came across this problem and had to give the product a 2 star review. If it was not for this mishap would have given the product 5 stars.
★★★☆☆ I picked this up because the first party head straps were out of stock, and this was $10 cheaper and would get here pretty quick.Seems to do a decent enough job once you mess with the fit settings and figure out how to get it situated on your head the right way.By default it wants to sit too far down so that it obstructs neck movement, and the straps touch your ears.I ended up having to wear it so that the bottom gap was situated near the middle of the back of my head.After that it ended up fairly comfortable.The foam on the back could stand to be a little thicker, I think this would go a long way toward making the fit feel a bit better, the Velcro holding the padding on tends to come unstuck when you remove the pad.While I don't think I'd by a second one, I can't say I regret buying it.
★☆☆☆☆ PLEASE READ WHOLE REVIEW BEFORE PURCHACE, VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!This does hold to your head well while playing, and even when your not. This locks to your head which is perfect until you want to take your head gear off, and oh yeah, it's stuck locked to your head so, if you have anywhere to be, plan around 15-20 minutes just to get it off of yourself, if you even can.IMPORTANT UPDATE:So this company has offered me a whole $20 gift card to remove my comment, I think this is a cowardly act to hush someone, who has realized and noticed that the device is a money grab SCAM. I also want to point out and this is very important, THIS IS MARKETED AS THE ELITE STRAP, this is in no way shape or form, like the elite strap off the oculus website. The real strap is very comfortable and effortless that you can buy easily online, but not this one, this is an awkward, bulky strap that hurts your face after not very long, and then can potentially lock your child's face in the device until someone can help. This is dangerous, this company is very shady, save the hassle, buy the REAL elite strap.
★☆☆☆☆ At first glance this looks to be a complete upgrade when comparing it to the Oculus elite strap, but it's not. Eventually you start to notice that it's pretty flimsy as the components that snap in place frequently had to be popped back in when the headset was resized and adjusted. The tightneting dial in the back makes a terrible grating noise and it doesn't even sit flush against your head to make use of the extra support at the back of the head. Maybe there's another version out there and I got a dud but oh well.
★★★★★ These are a major upgrade from the original Quest 2 straps, which I've never managed to have stay in the position I set them for. My quest was always moving on my face even when I kept making the straps tight. The original straps also do a terrible job of holding the weight of the headset off my face, which often causes the area under my eyes/on my cheekbones to be sore after a half hour/hour long session. I just put these on and already can tell the difference. I'll report back if the quality or comfort of these change. Well worth the money in my opinion (especially since this was my first vr headset ever).**UPDATE December 18, 2020**These are still amazing and make playing vr for long sessions much easier and more comfortable. They change the game while doing vr workouts (Beat Saber, Supernatural, etc.) My only complaint is that the left side where it slides into place will randomly come apart and force you to take the entire headset off and push it back into place. This doesn't happen to me anymore, but it does happen when others use my adjustment. Still highly recommended!
★☆☆☆☆ Waited a month for this. Was so excited when it arrived. The pictures on the item page on Amazon show a long flexible strand coming out the sides of the headset where you attach the pieces too. Mine only has a short, flimsy plastic piece. The attachments do not fit and slide off. There is nothing to adjust to keep it secure like in the videos or pictures. I don't' know if this is how they're making it now because I see others complaining about the same thing or I received the wrong one, but this does not work, is not as described or pictured and you cannot use it.
★☆☆☆☆ I don't know why anyone would buy this considering where it's made. Unfortunately I did not find out until I placed the order. Now I can't stop the order and am waiting a MONTH for another copied product. Don't make the same mistake I did.Also, this is not compatible with VR Power battery. I tried every which way with various cuts of extra velcro trying to find a way to attach to this headset, and came-up with nothing. I ended-up buying the Elite Quest strap. In hindsight, I wish I simply purchased the Elite Quest strap with power. I like to support independent entities tho. I discovered that VR Power, who seemed to be a small, independent entrepreneurial company, is a front for a product manufactured in China, and the quality of that product is low. So I recommend to simply purchase the Elite Strap with power.
★★★★★ Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Really enjoy the product works fine and isn't heavy when plugged. It is very durable I've been using it for almost a week and no sign of wear and tear and as you can see the upload speed is more than the Oculus Link Cable itself for lower than half the price I would 100% recommend very happy with my purchase!
★★★★★ Got this to replace the cord that came with the Hubsan Zino drone that connected to my iPhone 7 plus. The stock cord had thick ends and the case I have on the phone has a dust cover and the cord that came with the drone would have required me to remove that case, which would have been a pain in the butt. This cord has smaller ends that don't impede with the case thus successfully connecting the controller to the phone. Drone works flawlessly with this cord.
★★★★★ this will extend the range of your Spark works great
★★★★☆ Quality on this was good, however, I got this after reading it fit well for the Reverb G2.. it doesn't.You can force it in, but it will bend and deform the nose flaps.
★★★★★ This is just a little insert that you place inside the face mask part of the headset when you are not using it to protect the lenses inside from scratches and debris. It is soft enough to not scratch on its own and provides just enough cushion to protect the lenses in normal storage. I don't think it would do much if the headset was dropped, knocked around, or anything like that. That being said, it does the job it is intended for. I put mine in my headset before I store it on a headset stand. It works great in this type of scenario.
★★☆☆☆ Although the cushion itself seems safe to press against the lens of the headset it’s almost like the product was made for a smaller headset and just remarketed for the oculus. It does the job to some extent, but I’d prefer a product that really feels like it fits my headset.
★★☆☆☆ I used my Samsung S21 Ultra 5G with these and it worked fine. The plastic on the headset is somewhat flimsy and cheap assembled making it difficult to tune in the right clarity and keep it there. Be prepared to keep adjusting and fiddling with these. The lens are clear and the field of view is just ok. You still have the blinder effect on the sides so total immersion is not going to happen with these.Came with a remote that does essentially nothing. Hooking it up via Bluetooth with the phone you can move the mouse curser around on your phone and select things but when VR is activated it doesn't adjust for that so you can't see or easily navigate the curser making it useless while wearing the headset. It's not Oculus or HTC after all. You can't fast forward or rewind or even adjust volume when viewing a VR media file with these so maybe they work in other apps, just not the three that I tried. Even the app suggested by the manufacturer wasn't able to simply open and navigate basic VR files downloaded onto the phone.You can't expect too much from a low cost device like this so my complaints are just based on the experience with the headset and not the headset itself, if that makes any sense. If you are just starting out and never experience VR before and have a decent smart phone to play around with it's not a horrible buy. As long as it's for children to beat up or anyone else to get a taste of VR for the first time, it's alright. Anything more than that, expect to spend more money and cheap out.
★★★☆☆ The interior black VR product box was snug in an amazon box. However, the product box was not sealed but already open with the flap untucked. The remote sat in an already opened bag and the headset had obviously been opened as well, not sealed.
★☆☆☆☆ Trash 🗑
★★★★★ Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I'm not really here to review the CaseMatix product itself as much as to offer my experiences and assistance to the community of users / customers. The product seems fine and sturdy and will serve its job well. Seems a little high priced to me, but also seems pretty good quality and should do its job well if you cut the foam properly. That was my first surprise (and not immediately obvious to me) that you have to design it yourself for whatever your use. That's a good thing, because you can use it for a lot of purposes and use it the way you see fit. But it's also more work to have to try to decide the best configuration. It gave me pause, because most of the ad photos show the product finished after someone has cut out the squares.NOTE: I'll try to attach media to this post in the order mentioned in the post. No promises, though! :-)MY LAYOUT DESIGN AND TEMPLATE FOR THE OCULUS QUEST 2 (default head strap)So I looked at the photos that other customers submitted for the way they designed the foam for the Oculus equipment (thanks for those submissions, everyone!). Then I embarked on designing my own.I tried to design mine with extra cushion (2 squares) towards what would be the bottom of the case when it is closed and standing upright. I also didn't want any of the main pieces touching each other and clanking together, and at least 2 squares between almost all of the pieces. I also wanted the pieces to be snug, so they just fit in there and hold in place well. The heavy end of the headpiece is towards the bottom of the case so that when the case is closed and upright, it will not exert extra pressure on headband / earpieces / any other pieces. As you can see, there is also a special section of loose foam (green section in my grid template) to attempt to protect the lenses and keep the headband tamed. The headband excess is folded back and forth gently in its designed foam pocket, leaving extra room for other features in the case. Finally, with some remaining space near the handle of the case, I'm using 2 squares the length of the case for chargers, cords, etc.I found that the foam squares in my CaseMatix case are 28 across by 21 down. Since I had to go through the design work for myself, anyway, I was inspired to freely offer the blueprint for this design here so that others could use it if they felt it would meet their needs and did not want to take the time to design their own (see photos to make this determination if you are interested). To do that, I obtained a grid and colored it in accordingly (see photos). I also included a blank grid (see photos) in case anyone else wants to document their particular design for others to use similarly. I hope this is helpful to someone! :-)TIP FOR SEEING FOAM SQUARE EDGESI also found that it was difficult to keep track of where the edges of the squares were in normal light (for grid transfer, counting squares, precision separating, etc). (Maybe this is my eyes? or maybe I'm not using enough light?). So I offer this tip you can kind of see the square edges when light is above or around you (see photos), but you can really easily see the square edges when you lay a light source (like flashlight) down on the foam and shine it across the surface of the foam (see photos)!SEPARATING THE SQUARESI initially missed the small, single-sided "foam customization guide" included the the case because of the advertisey-looking "follow us" message on the opposite side. So I made the mistake of trying to cut my first section out with a knife. That is not necessary, though, as the squares are connected to each other in such a way that you can pull them apart with your fingers. Once you pull them apart, they are permanently separated, unless you tried to glue them back in or order a new foam replacement. If you pull them apart, there seems to be much less (maybe even none) loose foam fragments than if you try to cut them out. After I discovered the "foam customization guide", it says you can "press down firmly on the blocks of foam you wish to remove and they will separate from the surrounding blocks" however, when I tried this, I was concerned that this method might weaken the connection of the surrounding blocks I wanted to keep in place. So instead I found that separating each block connection one at a time was better. I'm going to try to submit a movie demonstrating this technique (see attached movie). It allowed me to precisely sever only the connections that I wanted to without compromising surrounding connections: You insert your finger on the connection you want to sever (in between two squares), and alternate (wiggle) the tip of your finger back and forth against the two foam blocks you are trying to separate as you press your finger all the way down to the bottom of the blocks.OTHER IDEAS:I am experimenting (see photos) with storing (and attempting to protect) the long and expensive Oculus Link cable under the main foam, so that I can bring it with me and not have to pack it separately and hopefully not have to worry about it getting any kinks / sharp bends in it.I also experimented (not pictured here) with trying to fit my dedicated wireless router in the package (but mine is a little too tall with antennas that cannot be removed), and the chargers and a Chromecast device. The router was really the only thing that didn't fit because it was too tall. So the good news is that there's additional room you can experiment with in this design.Finally, I had another, generic idea to share about the CaseMatix case: This might be especially helpful if you only use it for transporting? You could purchase more foam inserts, and switch them out, depending on what you want to store / transport in it. I haven't checked how much the new foam inserts cost, though, to know if it is very cost effective or not. Information about this is available on the insert called "foam customization guide" (at the CaseMatix website, apparently).Dont forget to register at their website for your free lifetime warranty! (as mentioned on the "advertisey-looking 'follow us' message" insert).
★★★★★ I purchased this case because I didn’t want to wait for Oculus to get more Quest storage cases in stock. I also wanted more room for accessory storage. It’s a nice durable hard plastic outside finish with multiple layers of foam inside. Just draw out where you want things to go, then pluck the foam out. I spent all of 10 minutes from start to finish. I would not call this case compact. It is larger than necessary, but I also wanted to store my noise cancelling headphones in there as well. You haven’t truly experienced VR until you pair the Quest with quality headphones. This case helps keep the whole kit in one place. I do highly recommend saving a row of foam wide enough to place in front of your Oculus lenses. That way you have a barrier from any cords or power plugs sliding around and potentially scratching the lenses. This is way more practical than the small egg-shaped case from Oculus. The only downside is it’s larger and therefore not as compact and won’t fit in a backpack, but still should work fine as carry on during air travel.
★☆☆☆☆ This was what Amazon suggested when I purchased the Oculus Rift S. This case will not fit this model. Now I have a $50 dollar plastic box that I can not use. Extremely disappointed this was recommend and doesn't even come close to fitting my model.
★★★★★ If you're reading this, you probably want to know if this is worth spending the extra money on vs the $50 strap.The short answer is yes, and if you were planning to get the case anyways, the extra $30 is really a no brainer.Personally, for me, when I ordered everything, there were no reviews, so I bought both optional straps so I could compare.I'm here to tell you the elite strap (with battery) is better, maybe even a lot better.And I'm not even talking about battery life, I'm talking about comfort.The $50 deluxe strap is definitely a step up from last years quest 1 strap, but it still suffers from the weight imbalance of having a weight in the front.The Elite strap with battery solves that problem in ways I never imagined were important!#1 of course is base comfort - but there are lots of things I didn't think about before buying so let me share those with you: - because of the balance, you need a little less front to back tightness/pressure to keep the quest in place - that adds considerably to the comfort - because of the balance, putting the quest on is far easier - as the quest 'floats in position' while you tighten the strap up and make fine adjustments on your face (with the $50 strap, the quest wants to slide down as you put it on) - because of the balance, the quest moves a little less on your face during use - I was able to play for a decent amount of time without constantly needing to re-adjust the quest. - because of the balance all your neck muscles work about the same - this should be less fatiguing than a front heavy quest.When I originally thought about the elite strap, the above benefits didn't occur to me - I'm sharing them here in hopes that it'll help in your own decision process.Oh and one more cool thing - the quest knows the battery level of both the internal battery, and the external one - and reports both, which I thought was pretty neat.Also if it's not obvious, you charge both the quest, and the battery at the same time - the cable that comes with the quest plugs into the battery pack - the battery pack plugs into the quest - the light on the quest turns green once both are fully charged.Hope this review helps you, please consider marking it helpful if it did!
★★★☆☆ So, this product does whats its supposed too. Its an elite strap (which is a must in my opinion), with a convenient battery pack that adds about 2 hours of additional time in vr.This also includes a "case". Let's get real, the case is terrible. Its basically tough cardboard and a nice cloth material covering it. The case sucks. When the entire unit is inside, the zipper gets caught very easily on the usb cord from the elite strap. If you want something to keep your quest 2 safe from pets, or children, this will do the job. But if you plan on bringing it on trips, I'd advise something else.My reason for 3 stars is this. I play a fair amount on my pc through oculus link. When I do so, the battery, although very slow, does charge while I'm gaming. So, I hardly see myself playing longer then 2 hours before hooking it up to my pc at some point. So, here comes the issue. I was hoping the back where you charge the external battery would act as a pass-through of some kind. So when its hooked up to the quest, I just hook my link cable to the back of the elite strap and im good to go. That is not the case. You need to unhook the battery cable from the elite strap, and then plug the link cable on the side like normal. Doesn't sound that bad right? But to me, its just another dangling cord, and now I'm left with going..... "The case sucks. The elite strap is awsome. But the battery bank is annoying, and adds just 2 hours, and no pass-through. An anker 10000 mah battery bank that adds SIX to SEVEN hours is only 30 bucks."Sorry for the very lengthy post. But I wanted to give my honest opinion. Unless you like the added weight to counter balance the front, this just simply isn't worth it imo.Save yourself some money. Buy the elite strap, an anker battery bank, and just use the charge cable that came with your quest 2, it should be long enough. Congrats, you just saved yourself 60 bucks, and you now have ever more time with gaming standalone.
★★★★☆ Coming off of an original Rift CV1 and a Rift S I knew I'd need to get the Elite Strap due to the somewhat flimsy strap included with the Quest 2... I'm used to more support vs less support. When I saw that they were including a version of the Elite Strap with an added battery and a pretty nice looking case, the choice was made for me!Straight up this battery strap is a very good thing, it extends the internal battery life of your Quest 2 by about 2-3 hours depending on what you're doing (obviously games eat up more power than watching a movie)... at the end of the day you get on average about 4-6 hours of total battery life, which is very useful. Compared to the included Quest 2 material strap, the battery on the back and the extra weight of the plastic helps balance out the weight of the Quest 2 itself making things feel more stable and generally more comfy. Also the adjustment knob at the back of the Elite Strap lets you get a good seal on your face. There is a USB C cable which travels from the battery pack and connects to the USB C port on the Quest 2... for charging both batteries there is a USB C port on the bottom of the battery pack (below the adjustment knob thing). Unfortunately this second USB C port does not allow for pass-through for Link (connecting the Quest 2 to a gaming PC)... you need to unplug the battery cable and let it hang to the side to use link with the main USB C port. This isn't really an issue as the Link hookup itself should keep you charged (if you have a quality cable, like the official Oculus Link cable), but the positioning of the back downward facing USB C port would make for a more logical spot for tethering (vs the front right hand side). Either way it's fine, just a bit of a missed opportunity imho.The case itself is also quite nice, it's a dense zip up clam shell/pod type thing and is covered by a very wooly feeling felt type material... there is also a faux soft leathery strap to carry it with. It's quite nice and does exactly what it's supposed to. Only downside is the lack of (re-pluggable) holes for charging the Quest 2 in the case itself, it needs to be resting halfway out of the case, and even upside down if you have the Elite Battery Strap attached. Also the hidden zipper has stuck a few times when trying to open it for me, but I have managed to work that out. It can get stuck on the USB C cable which connects the battery pack to the headset, you can avoid this by making sure you push it down in the case before zipping it up. Overall a nice hard shell case, especially if you plan on taking it places!At the end of the day, I do think the comfort and extra battery life is worth it and the case is well made, and very cool looking... I'm only removing a star for the minor issues listed above... ie: The lack of a convenient USB C pass-through in the battery pack for Oculus Link and the lack of a charge port, or ports really, along with a possible fussy zipper in the carrying case. Buy it for the comfort factor, the double the battery life factor and the cool case to store it in factor and you're golden! :)Update 1 Oct 22: having used this for a good solid week now I wanted to mention that I have noticed a bit of stress on the back of my head after long sessions if I've tightened the Elite Strap too much. I'm used to clamping down the halo strap on the Rift S, which maybe is not the best path to take with this Elite Strap (functionally similar but different, the Rift S halo tightens around your entire head, while this elite strap simply pulls and holds the visor tighter to your face), I've found that keeping it a little looser has been better... otherwise I still think this is the way to go!Update 2 Nov 19: Wanted to point out one annoyance which has come up, if you leave the fully charged battery pack plugged into the headset and turn the headset off for a couple days (not on standby, actually turn it off), when you come back the battery pack will have zero charge. Why? Who knows, but it kind of sucks. The only solution I've found is to disconnect the USB C cable from the Quest 2 when you turn it off... the battery pack will still have a full charge the next time you plug it in.
★★★★★ Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Really enjoy the product works fine and isn't heavy when plugged.

★☆☆☆☆ * Edited 2020-Sep-05 *As of Oct 1, 2020 a Facebook account will be required to use this hardware. Existing users have until Jan1, 2023 to covert to Facebook or the bulk of features will not be available and titles may not work at all. AVOID this hardware and company and go with a Vive or other VR option. I for one, will not continue to use this product. It’s a plain and simple spyware campaign that Facebook continues to expand and is now trying to force upon all users of the Oculus line. As a long time Oculus user, I find this repulsive and will not support this type of corporate behavior. Rating reduced to one star because zero stars are not possible...* Edited 2019-Jun-02 - marked by ** - **I've used Oculus headsets since the first beta before Facebook owned it. This headset promises to be the first step in making VR accessible to the PC masses. It uses a single connection, no external sensors, and is plug and play (in theory).The graphics are a slight step up from the last iteration, noticeable, but not massive. The controllers are likewise a slight step up from the previous generation and very easy to adapt to.The new see through cameras and guardian system works very well. If you are new to Oculus, this is a visual barrier to let you know when you are going to run into things in the 'real world'. With the headset on, you see a camera view of the real world. You trace out your play area with a 'laser' and this defines your play space, surrounded by virtual walls. The setup is easy and intuitive.Responsiveness is great and much better than single or dual sensor tracking of old. There is no break in the motion when a sensor loses sight of the headset because this headset tracks from the inside out using cameras placed all around the headset.Also gone is the glare from the lenses. Bright scenes had no glare around the edges (halo) like the last set. Colors were good and vibrant. **In dark scenes the LCD panel shows its weakness with washed out blacks (more like grey than black). In dark scenes it is very hard to distinguish items due to a lack of contrast. When playing Arizona Sunshine as a test, I knew the area and still couldn't see things in the dark with a flashlight. Unlike the last panel, this severe lack of contrast and black level is a strong drawback from OLED panels for space sims (Elite Dangerous, etc.) or shooters i where there will be a lot of dark areas.**** The lenses don't steam up as fast as the old units although I do notice that my face is much more 'sealed' to the front of the unit. This is good and bad (for me). It is good in that it seals out light almost entirely. However, I used to cheat and look through the gaps by my nose to see the keyboard, etc., in the past. Now I have to physically lift the unit to find the keyboard, etc. It should be noted that I use my Oculus more for seated gaming (Elite, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, etc.) than standing games. When playing standing games with the touch controllers the better seal would be preferred. If you want to peek into the 'real world' you can double tap the Oculus button on the touch controller to enable the cameras. This works well, and is thoughtful, for situations when you are spinning around shooting zombies and become entangled in your headset cord. **** The built in sound is very weak with no bass. A canon shot sounds like a 'tink' rather than a 'boom' in War Thunder for example. The headset uses directional sound from the strap to direct sound down towards your ears. Unlike the last version, headphones will not fit over the straps on this version. While it does include a built in microphone, I prefer using a noise canceling headset for gaming that also provides a richer sound (for seated play). This design simply does not allow for that. The sponge on the strap sides (used for comfort) create a 3/4-1" (20-25 mm) offset, on each side, that hold the headphone arms (and ear pads) away from your head. This applies to over the ear, or on ear headphones. If you use ear buds it won't be a problem.**Speaking of the strap, it works surprisingly well with a single wheel to tighten the unit to your head. It pulls the headset to your face and there is a release to move the actual lens part (the big box) away from your face. If you wear glasses, this is far better than the last set. It is a little harder to get the up-down into focus because the 'box' does not pivot in any way. All in all, it's a mix of good and bad over the old unit. Definitely easier to put on, although it goes back to full tight every time it's removed, but harder to get into the sweet spot for focus. Once in focus, it stays put very well** Note - I raised the rating by 2 stars after getting a replacement and further testing. **So why one star? Because it doesn't work. Upon first plugging it in, you will have to update the BIOS on everything (headset and controllers). Then you go through the VR setup. First problem was a black screen when instructed to continue the setup in VR. I unplugged it from one display port and plugged it into another and it started working. I finished setup and jumped into a game. After less than 5 minutes in the game, the screen goes black again. It was still on because I could see the backlight, but no picture and no sound from Oculus home. I can hear system sounds coming from the headset though. A reboot later and it's still not working. Unplug, and re-plug into a new ports and it's still dead as a door knob. So much for quality control. The Oculus app shows all green check boxes next to the device, as though all is good when it is definitely not.** I received a replacement from Amazon for another go at this model. The replacement also crashed during setup, but afterwards has worked so far. It appears the first one may have had a defective board that once heated, failed. I am rating this as 3 stars because the increased resolution and reduction in the 'screen door' effect does not overcome the issue with the lack of rich blacks and contrast. The old panel was better in that regard. Also the change to the strap, while comfortable, completely negates using superior headsets. Sound is every bit as important to immersion as the visual elements. In this regard, the sound in this headset is a big leap backwards. Convenient yes, but practical no.Performance wise, I have had a chance to run it through some benchmarks. This headset operates at 80 frames per second (ideally) as opposed to 90 FPS on the last Rift. On the surface this appears to be worse, but in practice it is not noticeable and did not lead to discomfort at all. I also noticed that this headset was able to keep up at a full 80 FPS in games that previously would drop to ASW (45 FPS). ASW is the Oculus method of dynamically creating filling frames when the frame rate drops below ideal. This helps with discomfort and creates a smoother playback image even through the frame rate is less than the desired 90. This headset did not drop below 80 in most of my tests using the same settings as the previous unit that would have stayed in ASW with the same settings. Clearly the unit is better at aiding graphics cards in rendering frames quicker.**I am running a current game rig with an Intel 8700k and an NVidia 1080ti. Pretty standard fair and one that worked reliably with the old headset. For $400 and after waiting years for an update, I had hoped that the headsets are intended to last longer than 10 minutes. I feel like I'm beta testing the original again. It's clear to me they have a number of kinks to work out. This one is going back immediately.** After spending some time reviewing the latest drivers, etc., it still seems like an early release, but one that is worthy of $399.The alternative I would consider is the new Vive Index. However, the Vive is MUCH more expensive at $1,000. Furthermore, it still requires satellites setup around the room and can suffer from interruptions as a result (it usually works well in practice). This makes it less portable and more of a pain to switch between seated play and standing play in many situations. Also the touted 144 FPS refresh rate is highly unlikely in anything but simple whack-a-mole type games (Beat Saber, etc.). You will need significant hardware (2080, etc.) to push that frame rate. The controllers on the Vive also seem better (how it is held, finder tracking, etc.), but it isn't yet fully implemented and there are a lot of questions around play with legacy device support.For these reasons, the Oculus seems like the better consumer deal.If you will be playing mostly things like Arizona Sunshine, Beat Saber, etc., this is really a very easy headset to use, and is much easier to setup and put away too. **
★☆☆☆☆ The Oculus Rift uses one USB and one HDMI cable, however the Oculus Rift S uses one USB and one displayport cable. So my "Oculus ready" laptop can't use the oculus I just spent over $400 on until I hopefully find a way I can get a third party adapter to plug into the type-C since HDMI adapters allegedly don't work for it. If you're thinking of getting this for your laptop, unless you have a displayport or mini-displayport, DO NOT GET THE OCULUS RIFT SUpdate: Got a displayport to USB-C because I found that could potentially work, since displayport to HDMI doesn't. Unfortunately that didn't help and I still am unable to use this $400 sleeping mask for anything else. I reiterate, do not buy this junk
★★★★☆ As of day one I tested a bunch of things on the Rift S, and there are a lot of things I like about the Rift S and some that I don't like.Pros so far:- Display is better looking that the original Rift. - The slight drop in refresh rate hasn't been noticeable at all for me at least.- Out of box face pad is much more comfortable.- Inside out Tracking is great so far. (still need to mess with it more but haven't had any issues.- Throwing items in VR feels much more normal then the original Rfit. (I've noticed that the old method I used of pushing items to throw doesn't often work but a normal throwing motion seems to work great.... I tried this a lot in Super Hot.- (Update 5/24/19) Built in speakers - While not perfect for someone casually playing the built in speakers work well enough to play most games without issue. It sounds like its almost not playing anything for someone outside the headset but for the wearer it perfectly audible. Lacks good base though.Cons:- Ordered a 10ft display port extender and it seems to cause the black display issue that many are reporting. - Removed the extension cable and haven't experienced it again yet- Halo head band is pretty thick and I feel alot of headsets will have a hard time getting around it. (I use a Man O War and it barely made it over the headset)- The weight distribution feels a bit odd but it is a new headset so it might take some adjusting to. (Not sure if this is really a con yet).- Cable length is a bit shorter than I would like for my play space.Overall I think it was worth the purchase and plan to rack up some hours with the new headset. Ordered a 6ft cable to some testing with and hopefully that will work without black screening. Updates to come! 😀
★★★★★ Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Instruction aren't great, but it's not difficult and works great for the price. The instructions are a bit confusing but I was able to get it together without them without much difficulty. I went ahead and uploaded a how-to video in case anyone needed to figure out how to put it together, or wanted to research how to do so before buying.With that being said, it works great, doesn't slip, and is MUCH more comfortable on my head than the stock strap. I definitely recommend.
★★★★☆ The head strap works well once it is on. I bought this to replace the stock head strap because it caused a pressure point on my forehead. This works practically perfectly. The screw in the back makes it easy to adjust, but the velcro needs to be moved if you open it much larger than where you have it for your head. The velcro has an odd texture that touches the head; it does not hurt. It is smooth, but if you sweat at all it will show wet spots on it. When tightening the head strap, it makes a crank sound (I find it hilarious-like I’m screwing in my head). I notice I sweat a bit more because of how close and secure it is on my face. The other left a gap that let in slight air movement to dry it away. I used to have a problem with the blurry vision in a lot of positions except the Goldilocks spot. It has completely resolved itself. On occasion, I noticed fogging of the lenses with both of the head straps under certain conditions (the headset is cold while my face is warmer and I already have sweat). This problem can be solved with more air flow or a different facial interface that is designed with that in mind. If you tighten it as much as possible and play for the entire battery life, it can cause a pressure point or two. So, just don’t squeeze your head too much or it might hurt over time. Also, don’t ignore the top velcro strap, that helps with counter balancing the weight from the front to distributing it throughout the head strap.I still really like this head strap. After I got to try out the quest 1, I realized I’m not as in love with the design as I thought. This is because I hate having to do slight readjustments when putting the headset back on. The quest 1 has room to expand slightly to put your head in so you don’t have to redo any of the adjustments when putting it on and taking it off.I have not had any problem with it breaking (unlike a review mentioned), and I don’t expect it to. It is really thick plastic and hearty. I don’t plan on buying a battery pack, so I cannot vouch for the product accommodates well for that accessory or not.I agree with other reviews it is difficult to put together. The instructions are poorly written if you receive them. The numeric order is strangely not just left to right and then going down, instead it makes you follow an arrow in "S" pattern. This is why I only gave four stars. It was a bit tricky to put it on.There should be five pieces and the instructions. I have provided a detailed version of how to assemble it properly.Instructions on how to put together:1. Remove the front face piece of Oculus 2 (the foam and plastic piece).2. Unsnap original head strap. It is tight and it will make a small snap sound when taking apart or putting together.3. Detach the velcro from the original strap on the Oculus 2 top front rectangular loop.4. Make the new main head strap longer on the sides by twisting the knob on the back.5. Find the four small plastic pieces that are used to attached the straps. The L pieces that go together on the left of the Oculus and the R pieces go together on the right.6. Sandwich the L small and L large pieces around the left side of main piece on the head strap (the velcro should face up and it will be on the left). Then repeat on right side.Tip: I found that putting the small piece left/right on a flat surface and then sandwiching the main head strap piece to the larger piece works best. It takes strength and perfect positioning for it to connect. It will also make a snap sound.7. Attach the now connected head strap to the Oculus 2 on the left and right sides.8. Put the velcro strap through the top loop of the Oculus 2.9. Place the face piece back onto the Oculus 2.10. Adjust to your head as needed. The knob on the back loosens and tightens the head strap.
★★★★★ I don’t understand why oculus does not give you a headband as good as this one for the price you pay! This band is way better! With the original band, my son was getting headaches, it kept slipping off in the front, and it was very heavy in the front. With this band he no longer gets headaches it, no longer slips off in the front and it is way easier to adjust. With the original band, he needed me to constantly fix it in the back for him because he wasn’t able to do it on his own. With this band he is able to adjust very easily on his own. Overall, he says this band is way better and is happy with this product. If I have to give a negative comment, it would be that I struggled to install it. It took me like 20 minutes to install, but that is just because I am not very good at doing stuff like that! Also, it took about two weeks to arrive. But the wait was totally worth it, I’m glad I purchased this item, it makes it much better for my son to play with his oculus and I don’t have to worry about him getting headaches.
★★★★★ I like this cover for our oculus - it’s easy to put on, remove and clean. Comfortable and great for the cost. My son had an allergic reaction to the foam on the oculus. He would get a rash around his face only where the foam touched it. As soon as we put this cover on however he was fine. I ordered this cover before really researching with oculus. We got the cover, cleaned it, put it on and no more rash. I did research later on and found out Oculus will send you a free cover for this exact issue bc so many people had allergic reactions to the foam. I found on their website a customer complaint section and submitted a ticket. Within an hour I had a form filled out and a message from oculus stating they were shipping us a free cover that was similar to this one but thinner and it fit better. So if you need a cover, check with Oculus first and save your money. If they don’t or won’t send you one then definitely purchase this one bc it works great!
★★★★★ Perfect fit. Feels silky smooth on your face . This is my second purchase. First one i bought i bought it for my Quest 1. Trust me... This is a whole lot better than the original rough one it comes with.
★★★☆☆ Its easy to clean, and cheap. It doesn't really let your skin breathe well, so you face will sweat rather quickly.Better than the stock face cover though. It won't leave your face super red and raw feeling.(I had to cut the nose folds off, so the lenses wouldn't fog up.)For the price its worth it. I'll probably get a better on eventually, but this works fine for now. 🙂
★★★★★ I specifically got these grips for Beat Saber. I was having issues with the controllers slipping out of my hands while playing really intense songs. Sweating or not, I could just never get a really firm grip on my controllers! Adjusting my grip constantly in the middle of songs is irritating. So I tried getting the sword grips off of Etsy, which are the absolute worst btw. Then I got these. **WHICH I LOVE**If you love Beat Saber as much as me, GET THESE GRIPS. Not convinced? Here are some face punching positive points:* Comfortable and fit around my hand firmly. And I don't have small hands. I can get a really good grip on my controller and I don't feel like I have to adjust my grip every 10 seconds* Easy to install and fits well on the controllers. The grip attaches firmly and nothing wiggles. I feel safe knowing it won't suddenly unlatch and throw my controller at my face.* Looks pretty cool. Not gonna lie.* Could totally do an Expert+ song now (maybe not a postive to a beginner. They're unfortunately not magical grips)Look no further, my friend. You have found the ultimate Beat Saber grips. Prove me wrong.
★☆☆☆☆ Update: After a few hours of playing VR, I noticed the hard case material bruising my middle finger (used to press grab butter). The material is hard and creates a pinch point right before the button.Played EchoVR and Superhot VR which involve a lot of grabbing.
★★★★★ This is legit (as is all of their products). Fits perfectly and is better than the other cheaper options on Amazon that I’ve tried. Likely because this is sized specifically for the Quest 2 controllers and not a Quest 1 grip that kinda fits.It’s comfortable and really makes a difference with how it secured the controller around your hand. The Velcro top supports dwarf the clumsy silicone ones that other manufacturers provide.The package also included spare straps and Velcro which is great.Worth the extra $10-$15 compared to what else is on Amazon.
★★★★☆ For my first leap into VR it's pretty cool. I only gave it 4 Stars because of the Remote. My Son has has an Occulus (I'll be darned if I would pay that money) with that being said you download a few apps and"Sorta Wala" I can not figure out the stupid remote. Simple solution. You can use a "Wireless Mouse" to control your phone. (see my pics) either add adapter, or just order a $12 buck True Bluetooth mouse and use that as your control pad. Now truth be told, I like it so much I ordered another VR headset (comes today) this one is a little upgrade with headphones and whatnot.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N3WJLGB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I'm hooked. Good luck. Have fun. Nothing wrong with set I'm reviewing. Just get a mouse. How cool watching Netflix, YouTube, but the Best was VR "SkyDiving" Yikes!Steve
★★★★★ Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This oculus quest 2 carrying bag is super cool when my boyfriend carrying it! I hope to be better immersed in the world of VR game. I bought a head strap from annapro, which is very comfortable. I recently saw that annapro also has a unique shaped crossbody shoulder bag. I need a shoulder bag to hold the head strap and oculus quest 2. I used it for a few days and this carrying bag exceeded my expectations. Its shoulder straps are very soft and the bag design feels great. , There is a lot of space to install oculus quest 2 head strap and controllers! ! Mainly it can be carried diagonally and it is very convenient to go out. By the way, carrying it on my boyfriend is really handsome, aha!
★★★★★ I like this case. It's not too big, but the essentials fit. It's perfect to store your quest headset whenever you don't need to have it out for use. Not only that, but it makes me feel at ease knowing that it's stored safely in a protective case. The strap feels nice and comfortable when you need to take it with you, it's a great design choice. I would recommend this case to all quest 2 users since a lot of them don't actually own a case for their headset yet, until they will buy this case. 10/10 an absolute necessity for all quest 2 owners!
★★★★★ Absolutely love this case! My son needed one for his Oculus and this one more than fit the bill. Cool one shoulder backpack design, fully padded inside with a nice strap to keep it all in place. Highly recommend.
★★★☆☆ I got this so I could do fitxr workouts without sweating all over my headset and to have the handles on the controllers for easier grip. Sure the sweat stays off the headset now but it legit just drips sweat right onto my mouth which is gross. When I can't use the controller covers because the tracking is awful when I'm doing the punches. I'm sure it may work fine for normal play but it's not for fast paced movements. I do like the actual headset cover though. That fits well.
★☆☆☆☆ The main headset cover doesn't even fit because of the straps on the headset. In the photo for the product it's fits perfectly. But if you look at the picture the headset for some reason it has no strap on it. Even the color I was sent was wrong I ordered a navy blue accessorie set and got a faded blue set. I definitely sent it back & won't order another.
★★★☆☆ The controller grips are causing tracking issues. I love the way the controller grips feel, but am concerned about not being able to use them since it messes up the tracking
★★★★★ Tested the cable on oculus software. All good! Not sure how durable yet.
★☆☆☆☆ I don't know if I got a bum cable or what, but it kept plugging and unplugging itself in constantly; and wouldn't stay in a connected state longer than like 5 seconds. Totally useless. Disappointing cuz the cable seemed thick and high quality, but i guess the connectors are bad or cheap.
★★★★★ At about half the price of the Oculus cable, and the only alternative cable with an almost identical 90deg usbc (if not identical), this cable was the best alternative I came across. The cable works just fine so far. Just remember to enable PC gameplay, so it's not just a charging. It does work, if you go through the setup properly. Nice and thick, with a 90deg usbc that seems sturdy enough, and lower profile than other alternatives. Comes with a cable strap, to secure the cable so as not to put torque "forces" on your Oculus usbc port. Grab this cable if you want to save some money, vs the Oculus cable. Although, I don't have the Oculus cable for direct comparison, this cable seems to be close in design, and equal in performance. Offering the same gen usbc. Be sure your PC has a usbc port as well, if you plan to buy. Or, purchase a usba adapter. It's all about the data speeds of your PC's usb port at this point. Have fun!
★★★★★ so yesterday, October 13th, 2018; it was raining pretty heavily in Phoenix. I was coming home from work on the free way when suddenly on the way i made a lane change and hit a big puddle of water and lost traction on the right side tires and started to hydroplane. Thankfully I've been using this steering wheel to play Forza and drifting was my go to. So naturally I began to gather a certain feeling when using the steering wheel, what to do, and how to do it. its sounds kinda cringe but when the hydroplane event commenced the first thing that i thought about was Forza.. therefore when i was sliding left and right in the middle of the freeway next to other people, i knew exactly how to handle the steering wheel... and that is how this product saved my life, it gave me the chance to practice driving.... or... atleast to a certain extent.
★★★★☆ Wish I had done my research before purchasing. A few weeks after I bought this my brother bought the Thrustmaster TMX PRO which sells for basically the same price as this or less. After using his wheel I would definitely have bought that.Both wheels do not come with a shifter and both do have the clutch pedal and conical brake mod for more realistic braking feel. Yet on the TMX PRO the mod is easily installed or removed depending on your preference. On the Logitech it is permanently installed and requires invasive action to remove which also voids the warranty. I like it though, it was a little too stiff at first but after about 30 hours of racing it has broken in and feels great.Both wheels offer an optional shifter, and the Logitech one offers 4 things over the Thrustmaster's, push down reverse, alot quieter, very short throw, and a much lower price. The Thrustmaster one is over twice the price, but it feels better, is made mostly of metal and is harder to accidentally put in to the wrong gear. The Thrustmaster also has a separate gate plate that is included with it to make it a sequential shifter. This is excellent for rally driving where the paddle shifters can be difficult to use. It is however very squishy in sequential mode not having that nice positive click that a sequential shifter should have. Because of that I would not purchase it if you're mainly looking for a sequential shifter due to its poor feedback. Their are better dedicated options out there.The pedals on the Logitech are 8 bit giving a total of 256 unique positions. This sounds like a lot, but when running F1 cars where braking needs to be incredibly precise the Thrustmaster 12 bit pedals with 4,096 unique positions are noticeably better. The Logitech pedals do grip the carpet better though and look nicer.The wheel, the G920 is prettier by far. The all brushed metal construction with leather wrap looks good and feels good in the hand. The Thrustmaster is mostly plastic with some rubber grips at the 10 and 2 'o clock positions. It looks cheap and initially feels cheap too. It is however about a 1/4 inch larger than the Logitech and I like the slight increase in size.Yet this is where the Thrustmaster runs away with the show for me. When actually driving with it the force feedback is noticeably better, its more precise and less notchy. I can't say it is in a whole other league over the Logitech, but it is better. The cheapness of the plastic wheel is all but forgotten from the excellent precision feel you get from the force feedback.That being said the Logitech is not without its upsides like better looks and overall build quality. The wheel base does have bolt holes for hard mounting. Which is real nice when using it with a stand. The TMX PRO on the other hand has no mounting holes and its desk clamp sticks down so much it will block your keyboard tray. The Logitech uses dual soft mounts that don't stick down nearly as much allowing access to your keyboard. Both wheel's pedal boxes and optional shifters do have bolt holes for hard mounting.From what I've read around the net, the TMX pro does have a higher failer rate. So if you are looking for something to last a long time the Logitech would most likely be your better bet. Its dual motor gear force feedback system is antiquated and has been around since the G27 wheel which is why it doesn't feel quite as nice as it could. Yet it is a proven system with many G27 wheels still in use today. I'm just speculating, but I think this may be why Logitech has chosen not to update it, just because it has proven to be so reliable.
★★★★★ Excellent feedback - especially with FM7 configuration. I've increased the resistance to help simulate actual driving a bit more. Only complaint is that I wish that the steering ratio would match each car individually instead of having a global ratio... maybe it does, but it doesn't seem like it. I like the fact that Dirt Rally has a preset configuration which works nicely... and makes the game 500% more enjoyable (you can actually rally now). As a novice racer in real life, this is pretty good... aside from the brake pedal stiffness (which is unreal to get 100% in FM7 w/default settings).Contrary to another review, you should NOT modify the brake pedal - as this may void the warranty and is unnecessary with newer games (I'm unsure of how far back for games you'd need to physically modify the brake pedal).The correct solution is to modify the outer dead zone for deceleration to about 50-70% -- you can test the optimal setting by driving and watching the red bar on the bottom-right hand of your HUD in FM7 -- this shows you braking pressure. If you're braking as hard as you physically want to brake, and the red box is not filling up, then lower your outer deceleration dead zone a bit more. Tada! The same applies to some other games as well.
