This is my review of the Oculus Rift S VR headset. This headset has been out for quite some time now and while I didn't get it on release, I did eventually end up getting my hands on it. Today I will be talking about its performance, comfort, build, and usability. Enjoy!

Never apologise for your stutter. Just do your best

@SherrifOfNottingham 4 года назад

I grew up with a stutter, and still do it to this day. It's not a big deal, everybody has their own issues, it's not about overcoming or getting better, it's about accepting yourself the way you are, stutter and all. Apologizing is for somebody that believes their disabilities need to be fixed or overcome. You can't fix a stutter, your brain moves faster than your mouth, it's nothing to be ashamed of or sorry about.

@joedavidson7893 4 года назад

@@SherrifOfNottingham to be honest i think my stutter is getting fixed. Basically my entire family had/has a stutter and so did my brother but as he got older it went away and as I am getting older and being more talkative to random strangers e.g saying hello or something else its slowly going away

@yourlilbrudder5766 4 года назад

I have had mine for about 2 months, and I can’t say it’s great. The comfort, given my small face size, is not amazing, and my IPD is quite low, making vision a bit blurry. The pixels are extremely visible, tracking is very spotty, and I can’t say the controllers are the highest quality. If you can spend an extra $200, to get the HP Reverb G2, you will find a night and day difference in graphics and audio.

How is the screen door effect on this headset? I had the original Oculus Rift with the Lighthouse sensors and I couldn't stand the screen door effect. It completely took me out of the experience to where I ended up selling it. I understand all VR headsets will have some of this due to the nature of the tech, but how does this look?

@AngelusFromHell 2 года назад

Hi! I am evaluating the Rift S and Quest 2. Considering that I would use it purely for the PC, that I can't stand depending on a battery and that my PC may not handle the additional compression work to send the video via Quest Link (thus having latency and artifacts graphics), does it seem crazy to you to buy a used Rift S for € 250 instead of a new Quest 2 for € 350?

Answer: The Rift-S won't get a price drop, most tech like that will never be sold cheaper unless it's used. Waiting for the used market to sell it for half price after the new headset releases will be the play.

I bought a Rift S on 17 FEB 21. It worked flawlessly until Oculus released their software update. Three dots of death. Four unsuccessful hours on the chat with Oculus CS. Excuses ranged from incompatible CPUs (then why has it worked up to now?) to low power on USB 3.1 ports (they're powered directly from my 1100W PSU). It is now boxed up ready to be collected by the courier for return. Thankful for 30 day return policies! :)

@willspies5869 4 года назад

The biggest issue I have run into when I upgraded from the Rift to the Rift S is Oculus did not make it completely clear that your PC now needs a display port. My old Rift uses the HDMI port, but Rift S must use a DisplayPort. I found this out the hard way when I bought a new gaming PC specifically for the new Rift S...not knowing it required DisplayPort. Then, during the setup process realized my PC only has HDMI and cannot be used at all with Rift S. I know there are adapters out there, but I've looked at forums like reddit and those adapters are not compatible. I'm kinda pissed at Facebook/Oculus for not making more of an effort to drive home the BIG difference in setup and that you need DisplayPort. Just hoping anyone out there that is considering the Rift S doesn't make the same mistake I did.

The only thing holding me back is that they are going to stop producing them next year and i found this on the internet, The Rift S will also continue to support logging in with a non-Facebook Oculus account until 2023, unlike the new Quest 2, which requires a Facebook login. Facebook promoted the Quest as its primary VR headset last year, leaving the Rift S out of upgrades like controller-free hand tracking
