Reviews around content (5.00 of 5)

  • But there's a ton of free content and apps so you might only end up buying a few apps if you really want
  • Oh, and TONS of FREE content is available - right through the headset.
  • There is a wide array of content available, to suit just about every taste
  • Apparently every company that is involved with VR is making free content available, this usually takes the form of experiences.

Reviews around price (5.00 of 5)

  • I think the price of this is worth it for the Netflix app alone
  • It’s the perfect price and provides an experience most have never had in their life
  • Also, the price is so incredible for such a standalone device!
  • I’m new to VR and had never used it before, but I was excited to give it a try with the Go and the affordable price point makes it fairly easy to do.
  • The Oculus Go is a great VR headset with a good price and nice feel to it

Reviews around controller (4.33 of 5)

  • The controller is very intuitive and a must if you want to interact with the VR environment
  • But, with less than a month of use, my controller died
  • They are dragging their feet regarding the replacement of the defective controller
  • Heavy, controller is not that intuitive, and it doesn't have the same axes of movement as other headsets.
  • Now, rather than say "Sorry, let us send you a new controller" they, through a series of slow responses over two days, began demanding photos of serial numbers, photos of the battery in the controller, a VIDEO of me trying to pair the controller, a photo of the box (that was thrown away on day 1).After taking multiple photos and a video for them and still not getting them to agree to replace the defective controller I came back to Amazon, where it is being replaced with no hassle at all.

Reviews around resolution (4.30 of 5)

  • It is very responsive and has great screen resolution and clarity, in fact, better than it is reasonable to expect at this price point
  • The resolution on the device is better than the oculus rift, and many games and apps on it
  • Now the rub; the resolution is touted at around UHD (~2400x1440
  • The resolution is actually better than the big boy headsets, to the point where watching Netflix is equivalent to watching it on a giant LCD screen (not 4K
  • Yes, the resolution could be better, and so could the field of view.

Reviews around experience (4.30 of 5)

  • so while there may not be as many experience options as the RIFT, I have had no trouble buying and playing the games in just one bundle so far, and there are so many experiences available, I likely will never play or watch them all.
  • The Go is not as robust an experience as the Rift, but almost, and you don't need a high-end computer, cables, and sensors to operate it
  • I started playing some games as well, and am really enjoying the VR experience.
  • What an amazing experience took a few days for my eye to get use to VR
  • I also enjoyed Viso Places quite a lot though the experience was tempered by the inability to interact

Reviews around game (4.23 of 5)

  • There are free downloadable apps to access video and music content as well as games, and (unsurprising as this is a facebook device,) social media.
  • Another amazing thing is that if you don’t like a game, you can return the game
  • The VR worlds, 3D surround videos, "Wander" (ability to go most anywhere in the world and see it in 360 degree view), educational potential for children, virtual reality social worlds (Vtime, Altspace, Oculus Rooms, Oculus Venues, etc.), even invite friends from Facebook to join you in a room to watch movies, play games, hang out and have fun...
  • For that matter there is a myriad of free games if that is what you seek
  • The games and apps available are the same basic games and apps available on the Play Store

Reviews around device (4.22 of 5)

  • While it's limited in capabilities to the Rift, the Go is still a really great device
  • For the price (much like a handheld compared to a full console) this is a great device and works very well
  • The Oculus Go has the same tunnel vision effect as the old cheap devices
  • its the perfect device for media consumption like hulu, Netflix, and

Reviews around thing (4.18 of 5)

  • This thing is so much better than the Samsung Gear VR seeing as it is a standalone device
  • But for the cost, this thing is pretty amazing already.
  • Another amazing thing is that if you don’t like a game, you can return the game
  • Wow, that is a cool thing to have - part laser pointer, part
  • I'd much rather comfortably watch on my 4k television than this clunky low-res thing.

Reviews around vr (4.17 of 5)

  • While I think the adults have had more fun with this, it definitely gives everyone a great VR experience for the price.
  • I received my Oculus Go 64GB yesterday and I have to say, as an Oculus Rift owner and huge VR/AR enthusiast, I'm very pleased with what Oculus has pulled off here.
  • even wearing it, then I think that’s what makes a great VR headset
  • I would recommend this VR headset over both of those based on usability.
  • It provides a reasonably good VR experience without breaking the bank

Reviews around product (4.03 of 5)

  • Too many innovative products have died on the vine for lack of usable content.8)
  • Overall, I believe this is a great product and well worth the investment!
  • Fantastic product!Would have loved to get a storage box
  • Just another terrible tech product you’ll spend more time troubleshooting than using.
  • I also own the PSVR which I think is a much better product.. but this one has a different market

Reviews around way (3.86 of 5)

  • The weight is good but for me the way it pulls into your face can get uncomfortable after 45+ minutes and the material is also relatively 'rough' on your face
  • You have no efficient way of recording or streaming your experience
  • I recommend the 64 GB, and see the whole world inn wonderful unusual way.
  • The way they pump the sound into your ears is really clever.
  • Oculus would not honor a replacement as they said i took the device out of the US.

Reviews around quality (3.56 of 5)

  • The sound quality from the built-in headsets is very good
  • Other than that extra #, the setup and operation is easy and good quality.
  • For the price I think the quality and resolution are appropriate.
  • Minor issues include:Other people have issues with their being no SD card slot, low battery life, or mediocre audio quality
  • I could use a bluetooth audio transmitter with a 3.5mm headphone jack, but it would ideally need to be mounted onto the headset, and can’t guarantee the audio quality it would transmit

Reviews around app (2.94 of 5)

  • Yes there are missing apps, and I don't like that side-loading is so difficult on this headset
  • but the short battery, limited apps and small storage make even that a bit iffy.
  • I thought that this would be better but their apps are cheap and pixelated and the YouTube apps are blurry
  • The games and apps available are the same basic games and apps available on the Play Store
  • First off there are several missing apps, such as YouTube and Phonecast beta.

Reviews around surface (1.69 of 5)

  • and I've only scratched the surface of what the Go can do.
  • I've just scratched the surface, but I can totally see how this could be the next iPod or iPhone
  • The minimalist design actually works in the users favor as its unobtrusive, light, and with wonderful clarity
  • Oculus would not honor a replacement as they said i took the device out of the US.

Reviews around battery (1.67 of 5)

  • Eagerly waiting for the next version with better resolution (but this one's resolution is GOOD!) and better battery life.
  • The two biggest flaws are terrible battery life and very limited/disappointing apps
  • The battery is just barely enough to do so but you can plug it in while using it - keep in mind the power cord included is very short so get a longer one if you plan on longer sessions
  • This is a piece of junk (because of battery life and overheating).
  • The big downside is battery life, these need a better battery!

Reviews around lack (1.54 of 5)

  • Battery life at around slightly over 90 minutes really limits your experience, the lack of 6DOF (the ability to lean in and out) limits the immersion experience and the app library leaves much to be desired
  • The minimalist design actually works in the users favor as its unobtrusive, light, and with wonderful clarity
  • The real fail is the lack of an external camera/s to allow quick real world interactions without removing the headset
  • Oculus would not honor a replacement as they said i took the device out of the US.
  • My only complaints are the short battery life (about two hours) and the lack of a “deep” search when looking for experiences.

Reviews around plastic (1.44 of 5)

  • The last "VR" headset I bought was a cheap plastic case for Google Cardboard and it was horrible
  • Construction is mostly hard plastic but the front (where the components most likely are) is a heatsink metal.
  • If your cheeks start to hurt after a while, try tilting the sides where the straps are on the hard plastic pieces up while keeping the headset level
  • Oculus would not honor a replacement as they said i took the device out of the US.
  • Foam insert is easy to remove and can be washed if you don't like the new "plastic"

Reviews around motion sickness (1.00 of 5)

  • I first tried some high-motion videos, like a roller coaster and aerial skiing, both of which gave me some motion sickness
  • i was watching john wick 2 and everything just looked so clear and i had no motion sickness for 200
  • Still get motion sickness with prolong use but have given six pairs to friends who are thrilled too
  • I do like the product, but I find that I don't use it much given my ease of getting motion sickness.
  • I personally get motion sickness from first person video games

Reviews around pixel (1.00 of 5)

  • Overall the experience is pretty good but after 3-4 days of use, it now has a small cluster of dead pixels in the bottom left corner of the right eye
  • After one week of use I got two dead pixels (bright white)
  • There was a dead pixel in the view, no matter what I was looking at i saw this dead pixel which was very distracting
