Review: Worth Upgrading from CV1?? - I did alot of research before I took the plunge on this, being that I already have a CV1. Would it be worth the upgrade? My main doubts before upgrading were, 1. Will my IPD be OK? Mine sits at 61mm and after setting the software to match I have had no issues here, everything is crystal clear and no eye strain. Ideally you want to be at 63.5mm but 2-3mm either side of this and I don't think you will have a problem. However this is subjective to the individual. 2. The black levels, being this is an LCD panel and not OLED. Omg the black levels are amazing! I was very surprised just how good ALL the colours are, definitely on Par with the CV1, maybe slightly better! 3. Tracking, coming from outside in to inside out. This is better than what my 2 sensor set up was. Again if you put your hands behind your back you'll loose tracking but this was always the case for me. Unfortunately when you draw say a bow, you will loose tracking if you put the controller too close to your face but you can adapt to this. I feel overall the tracking is better than 2 sensors but not if you have 3. 4. God rays and screen door effect? Without a doubt a thing of the past! 5. Resolution is only a small bump up on paper but WOW the LCD panels pixel density is far better which is also why the screen door has all but vanished. Text is VASTLY sharper! 6. Sound quality. The sound quality is actually surprisingly good but it's not quite got the base of the CV1 headphones, but still good overall. You can still plug in a 3rd party solution via the headphone jack. 7.Comfort. The CV1 was very comfortable I found but again so is this, it's just different and takes a bit of getting use to the halo design. It's also actually nice NOT having ear phones pressed against your ears. 8.Value for money. This is where I feel this really shines. When you compare it to the price of the Valve index, touching close to £1000 for the full setup or the HP Reverb at the £500-£600 region. I feel this Headset hits the sweet spot for being both good value for money and a good all rounder in the specs department. 9.Lastly Software. I've always loved the Oculus software, very polished and easy to use especially when you compare to Windows MR. The new pass through cameras are great for having a peek into the real world. When you step out of your Guardian boundaries this kicks in. UPDATE... I'm getting alot of tracking issues where the tracking stops working completely! Also I'm getting an intermittent black screen usually on first boot of the PC. You can fix this by replugging in the USB but it's not ideal. Also I've noticed an intermittent flash of static, if you blink you can almost miss it but this occurs at least every 5-10 mins. I hope this all gets fixed with future updates. Unfortunately the way I see it this should have all been working properly from day one as I never had problems with the DK2 or CV1. I have returned it for a refund. I'm sure one day they will sort these issues via a firmware patch. When they do this will be a good buy which is why I've given it 3 stars and not 1. Originally with my first impressions after an hour of use I gave this 5 stars with my review. But now after 12 hours of play I have started to notice more issues. UPDATE!! As of now September 2019 with recent updates the Rift S is now fixed of all its issues that I mentioned.
Review: The best VR headset if you have a PC, patience and prepared to spend money to buy a few extra pieces - I've been using this headset for under two months and after the initial hurdles it gave me, I can finally say I love this product. Before I talk about my experiences I would like to highlight some important things you must keep in mind and some issues I initially faced. First off, after my first VR session I faced the issue of having to restart the oculus software before every session in order to temporarily fix a bug which was caused by my mobo USB ports not generating enough power. This was permanently fixed after I changed motherboard and reinstalled windows during my PC upgrade. Another issue you will likely face will be with the microphone of the Rift S, which in itself doesn't offer very good audio quality, but will likely either present you with phases of working normally to then sound like very cheap mic for a minute before it goes back to normal. I didn't experience this specific microphone problem, but mine just died on me after about 3 weeks. This promoted me to invest in a wireless ModMic which I attach to my bluetooth headset, and I'm very glad I decided to go with it. This was my first VR headset ever. I had never experienced VR before and the Rift S would be my ticket to the exciting world of VR. I didn't set my expectations too high but I was hyped. When I first hopped into VR, the Rift S worked out of the box after plugging it in and installing the desktop software. I was absolutely mesmerised and kinda just stood there looking around and throwing stuff in the tutorial area. After the tutorial and a few impressed family members, I decided to set up SteamVR and purchase Beat Saber. Beat Saber provided me with around 30 minutes of fun but really I was just trying to test it out. I then was invited to jump on VRChat with an irl friend who had been teasing me about it since like 2018. He showed me the ropes and I was hooked. Getting the Rift S was one of the best choices I have made, I must however admit that I only really use it for VRChat as it's helped me better my social skills and make new friends. The Rift S also works with the Vive trackers and base stations through SteamVR and space calibrator to offer full body tracking and I've had no issues with it so far. I can therefore recommend the Rift S for full body, although this is an expensive route. Overall, I can confidently say that I have no plans to upgrade from this headset to any more premium option like the index because I don't see the need to spend extra money when the Rift S is already a solid VR headset. You may ask, why do I give the Rift S a 5 star review after the issues it has? Because after I have resolved all the problems, I have now a very solid headset which provides me with everything I need to have a great VR experience.

*by K***Y on 14 January 2020*

BoxVR and Pistol Whip are the 2 most played games for now. Tons of fun with it so it's worthwhile. Not worth it if you're gonna use this for entertainment though. Who wears a helmet to the cinema?
