4.0 out of 5 starsIf it weren't for Facebook, it'd be 5 stars.
Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2021
The "new" 128Gb Quest 2 is a welcome increase in storage space over the prior 64Gb model, as the OS eats up a fair bit of space on that storage. Fortunately the apps and games are mostly small in install size.

For a standalone VR headset (with ability to connect to a gaming PC for PCVR), it does a fantastic job at bringing you this experience. However, the requirement for Facebook is a sour note to using it as it is tied to your real life social media account. You can make a alias for it though so other gamers don't see your real name.. but still, the writing is on the wall that this is for personal data collection while you use it. Take that for what it's worth, as the low cost is clearly subsidized from Facebook's personal data collection as the unit is sold at a loss otherwise.

The Pros:
-Small and portable.
-VR capability is great. It's not powerful to provide realistic graphics, but the games are really effective at giving you a sense of scale and being in the VR world. Framerates are fast and colors are vivid. It works great.
-Low cost compared to everything else on the market (which requires a PC - which this doesn't).
-Ability to cast gameplay to a chromecast type device for others to see.
-Install sizes are small (most),

Cons:
- Facebook required.
- The strap is uncomfortable and doesn't do a good job of keeping the weight off your face. It's essentially a fabric belt, so you'll want to invest in a better headband for more support.
- Battery capacity gives you about 2+ hours playtime so it's quite low. If you supplement with an external battery, the Quest will run off of that before it goes to it's own battery, so you'll want to invest in a battery pack for more playtime.
- Lenses have a small focal "sweet spot" and this coupled with the troublesome headstrap means that you will frequently adjust the headset to reduce fatigue to your eyes.
- Resolution varies in standalone games as the headset may need to lower resolution to allow for appropriate processing power - depending on the app. While the headset is "almost 2K per eye", there will still be some blur, and in some games, you will notice a fair amount if the game drops the resolution as needed. This is not a frequent issue, but I am mentioning it just in case some owners wonder why game X is clearer than game Y. Having said this, a number of titles have been patched for the higher processing power of the Quest 2's headset and do have increased resolution over the original Quest 1.
- The Oculus game store does not have big-discount sales like Steam or Playstation for their VR headsets. There is a daily deal and sometimes weekly deals with a couple of games in them, but the discounts range from about 9% to 30%. Overall, games on Quest 2 will cost you more to purchase as most will stay at full price.

In conclusion .. don't look at the small list of Pros as a negative as what it does, it does great and is well worth the cost. Just know that the cons show that it does have limitations so don't expect the moon, and the basic headset will likely need a better headband and external battery to get the best enjoyment out of it. It's a 5 star headset absolutely - but Facebook's requirement is something to understand, as if your account is ever banned on Facebook... you will lose all your purchases and the headset will become useless.

1.0 out of 5 starsProduct broke with absolutely no force or impact
Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2021
I had the elite strap on for a few weeks and had gotten to use my headset roughly around 20 hours in those two weeks. It was fine during that time, fit well, seemed firm. However my computer's graphics card failed, and so I left my VR headset on the desk, next to my computer for several weeks while I got the warranty for my card to replace it. After I had my computer up and running again, again after the VR headset was sitting not being touched for several weeks, I picked it up (from the front, heavy side, not the strap) and the snap just snapped in half under its own weight. This is absolutely unacceptable for the price they are charging. I had read the reviews of others saying the band snapped, figured it couldn't be as bad as they said, but sure enough, it's true, with no pressure, no force, just leave it on a desk for a few weeks and it will snap all on its own. Extremely disappointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Equipment/quality 5 stars experience -1000000000 stars

If your a person who gets motion sickness , driving in a car looking down etc DO NOT try vr lol used it for maybe an hour over the span of a couple days and was sick for a week. Nauseous all day, head felt like it was gonna explode and just walking or turning my head faster would induce vertigo to the point of running into walls and falling over. Imagine being motion sick stuck on a spinning ride… for 7-8 days. Medication does not help tried it all, you will have to just except your life sucks for a week haha the equipment was awesome but you couldn’t pay me enough to ever put one on again haha

I have only had my oculus maybe a month now and I treat it like it was my own child, not a scratch not a mark not even a bit of sunlight has seen the lense, yet I can't sign in to oculus profile, and my headset keeps blackscreening me out of games and even when I first turn it on, I have tried to message and contact Amazon about this but all I got was I can't get a refund or q exchange for this defective broke item that was sold to me for over 500$ great so if you feel like getting scammed out of a good bit of money and not getting anything out of it Its the product for you SMH!

Waste of money, very boring quickly, much too heavy on your face, headaches for all who used it for 20 min and that was sharing it, so each person wore it 3-5 min then the next person
Big talk.. poor value

So this is an amazing device. The games are fun and it’s a nice little escape. Unfortunately the reason for the 1 star is I have to keep it lugged in or it died within 10 minutes. Not fun with a 2FT cord.

Awesome experience. Many apps, games and media content. They really nailed the 3D effects, very realistic. Not so comfortable. The fabric strap doesn't hold the heavy headset for long. Your face carries the brunt. Will purchase the Elite Strap with Battery.

Arrived really quickly, which resulted in my kid getting his Xmas present early, but that's my own fault. He loves it, was easy for him to set up and use and it's really really fun and cool. Def a great purchase

4.0 out of 5 stars Product is great, but USED! - EDIT: Amazon replaced it for us, no cost!

EDIT: Amazon replaced it for us, no cost!

We love the Oculous.. but when trying to log into an app, there was a user previously logged in, and we couldn't get in to that app because the user had to invite us.. so we realized we have a used headset. Oculous support can't help us, so we are suck, unable to use the one app that I bought the headset for. Not happy at all, as it was not advertised as a used unit.

Mostly bought the thing so I could play half life alyx, only to find out that it’s only available on the steam market. So if you wanna play smaller games this is perfect for you, but if you wanna play bigger games I would recommend you just buy the rift S and get a gaming PC

4.0 out of 5 stars Great New Innovation!
Reviewed in Canada on February 1, 2022

I’m loving my new Oculus. I do suffer nausea from some activities in VR Immersion but I’m learning to limit my movements to better enjoy what the system has to offer.

What encourages me is that this is the ground level for graphics, gameplay and options of sites that support VR Immersion.

The best is yet to come!

Works very well. We bought the extra battery and elite head strap which was easy to add and keeps the unit running for hours without charging.
