Oculus Quest All-in-one VR Gaming Headset – 64GB

Advantages:__________• Very comfortable on the head because there is an electric strap that goes around your head and one on the top. Being a former Oculus owner is like putting on a baseball cap. Overall it's very easy to adjust and the foam fabric fits snugly. • One of the few times I'm glad they still go with a plastic liner. You wear it so the goal is to make it as light as possible. • Wireless, and... I mention wireless! No wires in any way. No PC, just turn it on and go. • No Wi-Fi disconnects, as it's consistent throughout. • Oculus has once again put a lot of effort into its built-in speakers. Very strong and immersive, while being aware of what is happening in "your" world. • The built-in headphone jack is still ideal if you want to be completely immersed. I have to admit that I use the headphone jacks a lot more than I thought (especially in some horror games). • For more insight on the speakers, it's an integrated rear setup. The result makes you feel that the sound is playing in all directions and not just focused on one spot. • The Insight program is AWESOME! I've owned old Oculus and one of the most annoying things is removing the VR set because the outside world got in the way. It's losing my VR controller after watching something on the Rift or just hitting the wall. With the four new cameras mounted, the Quest can now show you when you're about to hit the wall. This is probably one of the best features they have implemented because now the Oculus monitors all your movements in the real world and simply captures them in any game. It's a dream for those who live in tiny/cramped rooms. • The Insight program basically allows you to play in almost any room you want, as it plots the space where you are (it's like setting up a border that you can player). I say it's great again because the games you play will now be, in a way, personalized to the space you're in. Having this feature is such a relief (this includes jumping or crouching, because allowed.). Oculus Go level (For non-VR users, the overall resolution is an impressive sight. Not perfect, but still great.) • Game setup probably takes 30 seconds. Just choose the game from your library and have fun. • The app works on the phone and in the Oculus. Newcomers, you will most likely purchase games using your phone, such as through an app store. They have it on the Oculus, but the phone is much faster to scroll and interact with. • The screen itself is very clean. Remember to treat it properly. One scratch and any game or movie will be wasted as you focus on that scratch. Avoid this by putting it in its box (or in a case, if you've purchased one) each time you're done. Don't just throw it aside. • Tracking capabilities are great when I'm playing a game or watching a 360 degree video. • 72Hz refresh rate. problem. It also means less motion blur, which means less motion sickness for those who get it. • Huge games section. As of the date of my review, 50 launch games for this VR. • Not only can you play games created and run from the previous Oculus (I believe only newer versions), but you can also play against your friends who only have old versions. I haven't tested this layout yet because the only thing close to it is VR poker (which is fun, only if people actually talk in-game!) • The games I've mostly played are up to present "Rise to Glory" and "Beat Saber." The controllers are precise, the speakers are powerful, and the experience is quiet. • Deleting games is as easy as starting them. That's good to know because depending on your games/movies you might need to do some spring cleaning once in a while. • I moved into my bedroom in the living room and found the mapping reconfiguration very fast borders. • The Passthrough view is the system that allows you to see your world without taking the whole. To me, it's kind of like a black and white night vision camera when you look at your world through the glasses. The four cameras are your eyes what they see you will see (not perfect, but visible). glasses, the Oculus does come with a spacer for your glasses. I don't use glasses so you have to read the other reviews that have them. • By putting the Oculus on it, I know when I put it on and I wake up. It's also cool because you don't even have to press a button to get started. But, to save energy, I turn it off when I'm done. Boot time is short anyway. • Yes, it's mostly for games, but honestly, some of my favorite apps are Netflix, Sling, and Oculus Short Videos. Playing Netflix on this site is an amazing sight and overall surfing the web and watching live TV on a movie theater sized screen is a great experience. No glare, no discomfort, nothing. • Touch controllers are very solid, easy to use, good click response, and the grip of each button is a great design feature. • Comes with a cable extra-long USB power port so you can still enjoy your games while it charges. • The Quest can track up to 4,000 square feet. Something you need to know for those who will be playing in a room larger than this. • Great, simple warnings if you're about to step out of your play boundaries. • It remembers up to five different locations that you have drawn when creating your border. I only have two slots, but when I put the Quest in one of those rooms, it instantly recognizes it. • The virtual reality market is managed by Oculus. You think VR, you think Oculus.Cons and Ok:__________• It's expensive for the machine. It doesn't include the really cool games you have to buy from the store. Yes, there are good free ones, but in my experience the best games you will have to pay for. • The games are not close to PC graphics, but I would think Nintendo Wii graphics style. Keep in mind that this is still a bump from the previous version and is an on-the-go type of virtual reality. For great graphics, you'll need a more powerful computer to complete the challenge. Putting something so powerful in a small box isn't quite there yet. All in all, still good for a casual gaming experience, but not "O my God". • Battery life is average, for me 2 hours. Maybe 2:30 if I'm just watching a movie or surfing the web/YouTube. Some of the same battery life as the Oculus Go. • VR is still new, so you're limited in games to play VR. Since VR is not mainstream, there will be a setback for new games and, as mentioned earlier, a higher cost to play prettier games. • You can't play this outside. The sun is a big no-no for lenses and cameras because it won't track properly. But something so expensive, you can't trust the outside world. It's like walking on the sidewalk with your PC running or your game console. Leave it inside (and you'll look like an idiot playing this in public). will further drain your battery. • Controllers require AA batteries. We live in a battery charging world, so why is this even allowed? • Not only that, but I'm replacing these controller batteries way more than I should. • It's a great experience to see the screen VR, but you should know that's nowhere near photo realistic. On a white screen, I can see every little pixel works. Still a great view, but nowhere realistic, overall grainy look. • Built-in speakers are loud, but for full immersion you'll need headphones. • Personally, I notice that the battery covers of the Touch controller are a bit loose. • No tracking data under the headset. You need to make sure the controllers are in view in front of you so the headset can follow it. • Any outside light still leaks through the nosepiece. It's really insignificant in games, but watching a movie is a whole different experience. For a movie, I have to turn off the lights. • Even at 72 Hz, you'll still feel a little nauseous. I don't entertain very often, but I admit that playing "Dead and Buried" made me a little uncomfortable. • I have been told that you will not be able to play all Oculus Rift games. This stuff sucks for those spending a decent amount of money on Rift games. • A price like this is higher than a PlayStation or Xbox. Both have hundreds of high-end graphics games and millions of users. I had to remove the batteries to get them to work again. Hopefully this will be fixed with a software update. • Removing the Oculus is easy, but it's still a big task to pack it anywhere. For example, putting on my backpack takes a big bite out of storage. Note that if you plan to give it to someone for a birthday or a holiday, out of state, it's best to give them a picture of it and tell them one will be shipped to you. When I got my Oculus Go I was away from home and it was such a burden to find space when I needed to get home. The Quest is no exception.• The portable concept really means moving it from room to room. Anything other than that is a significant issue. • All Rift games that have high resolution, if the Quest can play it, it can run at lower resolutions. The reason is to optimize the low power Snapdragon chip. • My friend has a big head and was not comfortable using the Oculus. • I play for a long time, he notices the straps you head itch. • You will need a phone for the initial setup. It really doesn't matter in the world we live in. • Fully charging, not playing, takes me two hours. • Fully charging, while playing, never happens to me. In fact, there were times when I had 0-1% battery life, and the only reason it worked was because I was charging it at the same time. Playing high graphics games will not allow you to fully charge, but watching movies will. • IMPORTANT: It does not heat up quickly. This is a major problem for those who live in a cold environment. I discovered this after my second day on the Oculus, but if you live in a cold environment, your lenses will fog up almost instantly. Since our body creates heat, putting on the helmet causes your eyes to give off heat which causes the lenses to fog up. This goes away either the outside temperature is warm or the Oculus is warmed up in use. For those who live in cold environments, beware! You'll have to either play a high graphics game to get rid of the lens fog, or keep breathing on the lenses themselves. If you decide to just watch a movie, you might be surprised to see your entire screen fog up. There's no way around it.• Seems wise, the Quest looks almost the same as the Rift.• The Oculus app lets you stream the on-screen action to a second display, but I notice some lag. • On some high quality graphics games, the connection time takes a while. I don't know if this is user error on me or a software error, but it's worth noting. • Those of you who have used Oculus 2016 controllers, it there is not much change. • The helmet will not detect obstacles on the fly. You have to trust your space. • Oculus 360 videos are really simple that even a 4 year old Oculus machine can run. We need videos that must match the resolution it is currently designed for. • It still takes some time trying to find the sweet spot for your eyes. I hope the helmet will guide you in finding the perfect place for your eyes. • Finally, looking through the lens is like looking through an old PC monitor. Your eyes start to get irritated after a while. Luckily, by then the battery will be dead. Summary:__________Ultimately, this is a great VR headset that will be perfect for those who want to get into the Virtual Reality experience. Please note that this is not a game console replacement in any way, just a new toy. The problem with VR is that it's not really popular right now. Not only that, but for me, it takes time to use VR before playing. You put it on, make yourself comfortable and make sure you have enough battery life. Unlike any other console, all you have to do is turn it on, press play and away you go. Ultimately, such a small portable VR has its downsides, as you can see in the "Downsides" above. The Oculus Quest doesn't really get us close to a fully immersive experience, but it's still a fun toy to play with. If you have the extra cash, grab it because it's a great VR bundle (the camera system alone is worth the purchase.). For those who want to get into VR, this is a 100% way to go. Overall: Great casual gaming, great video streaming, and a good battery system. For the average user, it's a great buy, but for those who've been here before, it's a decent upgrade from handheld VR.
