Good value, but don't get it for the kiddos.

This is my first VR headset, though not my first experience with VR, so take that into consideration...

Lots to do on this thing, but one major flaw--It is tiring to wear. I don't know if it just sticks out too far or is slightly heavier than other VR headsets, but I find my neck and upper back aching after just 15 min. No way you could watch a full-length movie or sit and use it in place of your PC desktop, as some do. Not to mention, it feels like it's messing with my eyesight. Takes a while for my eyes to re-focus after taking it off. (I should mention that I'm over 40, so that's supposedly when your eyesight starts going anyway, right? But I have a feeling that in 5 years or so we're going to start to see studies where people who use VR headsets regularly are more likely to need glasses/contacts.)

Don't get me wrong, it's really cool, and has some great apps, games and videos, but the fact that it is now owned by Facebook (and kind of pushes you in that direction) turns me off a little. At this point they've kept most of the functionality, but I don't think the developers are that interested in keeping compatibility with non-social-integrated apps and capabilities. For example, the whole reason I got it was to be able to connect directly with the Vuze XR, but apparently that functionality has been lost somewhere in the update cycle. (Even though the Vuze web site still lists it as a feature.)

Also, you don't find out until you read the warnings that it is not recommended for kids under 13 because it will basically mess up their eyesight. I get that, as the lenses have to be set for a certain range of sizes, so they focus on more mature eyes. (And it was a strain on my eyes.) But you'd think they'd have a solution for the little ones. Of course, when you get this really cool gadget, who wants to be the first use it? (And is forever pestering you afterwards.) Just wish they would warn you about that before you order it and it shows up and all your kids are asking to try it out.

Hope this helps for the parents out there thinking this will be really cool for the kids.Read full review...

Oculus Go headset is so much fun!!!

I decided to buy a lightly used headset to try out VR for the first time. Oh wow! I have parasailed and surfed and went along with many 360 vids. I love it! It’s an escape from the world for awhile. Problem is that I don’t want to stop. I am 54 yrs old and used to work in the computer field. Things have come so far ahead. Buy one! You won’t regret it.Read full review...

Well worth it!!!

Its works great! Much better than I expected. Very clear. Great sound, even better with headphones but not necessary. Takes a little effort to get use to. Try not to go over say 10-15 minutes at first. And, get a good cleaner. Lenspen is inexpensive and works great, Has a dust brush and a carbon fiber, high tech cleaner all contained in a handy little "Pen".

Well worth it!!!Read full review...

Worth the money.

For what you pay for this is a really good product. The picture very good. And not having wires hanging around or having to use your phone is a real plus for me. Battery life is not long but sufficient for most all movies. I'm having a bit of trouble with my remote but it's simple to fix it when need be. It would be nice if there was a youtube tutorial covering every single step. I went through and could not find one, although there were several that covered different elements. One problem I had was that I already had an Oculus account with my Gear VR. I kept trying to use it to set up my Go, to no avail. When I started a different Oculus account everything went according to a couple of the youtube videos. It was very frustrating and it would have been nice if the instructions or youtube video covered that. But nevertheless, I recommend this product.Read full review...

VR Go!!!!!!

First...I quick note: A new portable Oculus is coming for gaming tha60ars to be a LOT more advanced then the Go. With that said...I would be willing to bet that this may end up being discounted in the months/year to come. COMPLETELY worth it, regardless! Admittedly, the "new car smell" has worn off a bit and I have not used it as much as I did when I initially got it...but 52GB later of download material AND games...and I am hooked. The days I play it...I am on it for a few hours. To the point I have to stop and let it recharge. The best feature is the Hulu/Netflix and Movie viewing. It feels that you have your own personal movie screen. Picture and sound come in excellent. The games... WOW. Hard to believe that one controller allows you to control SO much...but you do! Full 360 rotation with "in your face" moments during some of the games (Face Your Fears....DARE YA!) and experiences. My score is really a 4.5 star as there are some features that seem to give a run-around to get activated (hello Facebook VR??? Why so arduous? Argh!!!) and please be sure that your WiFi is in great response to your system... Other than that...be ready for full immersive fun that is incomprehensive that you needed a $4000 system to enjoy not to long ago. I only hope that Oculus Go continues to provide updates and not abandon we purchasers of this great system and allow us to continue growing with it in it's space it is allowed. GREAT SYSTEM!!!!Read full review...

Not Current Model But Fine At The Time

It was a Christmas gift for a grandson and worked great last year. There is a new model now so this one just sits and we are getting him the newer model this year.

Great first headset, educate yourself on the battery life

Simple and straightforward to use; you will probably want to look into buying an external battery of some kind and a longer USB charging cable, because the battery life without it is only like 2 and a half hours, if that. But if you don't mind that it's a really really cool thingRead full review...

Easy to use VR headset for VR and theater movie lovers

The Oculus Go I purchased was for my son’s birthday and he loved it. The headset is easy to set up and use and takes very little training to get up and running. It’s also very comfortable to wear. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves immersive 360 degree video or watching movies in theaters. I’m really looking forward to finding fun games for me and my son to share.Read full review...

Great entry level VR experience

Very impressive VR experience. Although not a 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) type headset for high-end gaming use, it is still a great way to experience VR (mostly through virtual cinematic 3D visual environments). Think of it as an entry-level model for people who don't choose to make the costly leap directly into high-end gaming VR equipment. The visual effects of the videos shot in the VR180 format are truly impressive (also accessible through the new Youtube VR app). As you swivel (such as sitting in a regular swivel office type chair) you can change your viewing direction within the video just as if you were really there in person. Occasionally I noticed the "home" viewing screen (room?) would become sort of off-center from the direction you would be looking in real-world, but there's a "reset view" button in the settings menu to reset the visual elements of the VR environment to center. I guess that compensates for not having a true "gaming" type VR headset that has the built-in accelerometer stuff to "remember" where front-and-center is. In summary, it is a great entry-level way to experience VR for the first-time users.Read full review...
