Review Rift S

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello everyone. As promised Im writing a review. It is with a huge Joy that i can say Oculus is a great and serious, company made everything possible to get my rift s delivered before time so i could have it in Portugal when my family arrived from norway for christmas. My order never stop in any step for more than 1 day. It was awesome. Thanks for your resposiveness and your treatment. 
Now for the headset, Rift S makes everything feel so easy to use. Image is sharp and clear, the inside-out tracking and its 6dof got me in such a positive way. Im finding tracking só good , i havent had any troubles with it excepto when batteries ran low. But its took so many play sessions to drain the batteries. People complain about the audio, i actually enjoy it and its a good thing not needing anything inside or Over your ears(Thays my pov). I would give it a 10/10, awesome tracking, awesome price, awesome titles(oculus hás the best titles and its compatible with steamvr, to.play oculus games you wont need revive, which aint compatible with some oculus games). The controllers are by the majority of players considered the most comfortable VR controllers, and now they are upgraded. Overall i couldnt have got a better headset. It feels like you have the future in your hands. 
Thanks for everything Oculus. Im glad Ive chosen rift s ???
O hope you all had a great christmas and eish you a great 2020 ??

I have been using my Rift S daily , many hours a week, since getting it last May.
Rock solid and a fantastic VR Headset. Absolutely love it.

With the exception of the not so great audio strap ( I use earbuds and sound is great), and not so good mic, my Rift S has been flawless. No tinkering,  no muss no fuss.

No I haven't invested in the Link yet. I enjoy Quest's native mobile library. I haven't found a need to link it to my PCVR since I am still very happy with my CV1. I'm holding out on upgrading until a really strong 2nd Gen HMD comes out. But damn... I'm losing my patience!

You should seriously consider giving it a try.
Quest with Link would spank Rift CV1 in image clarity imho.
I am using the cable from Oculus and it is working great.

Yep, it still surprises me that clip-on CV1 type earphones haven't been provided as accessories for the S and I'm guessing now that's not going to happen. If all designer recourses are being directed towards the next headset, then ok, but we'll see! 5.1 or 7.1 surround is my preferred VR audio setup now.

Gotta love it when the guy that worked out a deal for a free Rift-S, the volunteer mods and the forums famous troll all get together to say how wonderful of an experience the Rift-S is with absolutely no issues.....

Funny how that works, but I'm the asshole here for pointing that out.....Do us all a favour and don't be so blatantly obvious in the future.  The general public are not the morons you and Oculus play us out to be.

Well can you kindly exit the discussion and allow us false pretenders to carry on lying to each other? Thanks in advance.
