Bought it for my fiancé for Christmas. He’s always do hard to buy for since he buys for himself all throughout the year. This is the first year in 12 years of being together that I got a “you knocked it outta the park this year!” From him. I’ll take it as a win!
I was very excited to get the headset but the painful setup process severely dampened my initial excitement. I was not able to pair my headset to the Meta App on my phone for more than a week. The message on the headset was not helpful with no website address or contact number provided. By accident I updated the cloud storage on my iPhone and then got the ability to pair the headset on my phone. In this situation it would have been helpful if there was a message stating the reason for not being to link up. Also, state if there are minimum cloud storage requirements needed for the pairing process.
Graphics are great, but it’s sadly so uncomfortable as is. Bought an Elite, did not like it. Ultimately I had to get a Bobo AND add the included waffle pad. Now it’s very comfortable!!
im blown away by the overall product, technology and experience. using my quest excites me for the future. obviously there’s some shortcomings in regards to battery life and long term computing power maintaining a smooth experience but that will likely resolve as the technology progresses. you kind of run out of ways to practically use it but can also see the potential. it’s just a matter of time. as it becomes more popular, people will begin to develop.
love it. love the experience and love the future implications. i cannot wait to be able to fully immerse in various simulated and augmented realities.
This is my first time trying VR, but I'm hooked. Some of the coolest experiences I've had in games in a long time. Currently playing "I Want You to Die" and just loving the way you can look around a virtual room by turning your head, then reach out and "touch" objects to solve puzzles. So cool! My only complaint overall is that the headset quickly becomes uncomfortable no matter how I've got it adjusted. After 30 minutes sometimes my forehead will be numb from blocked blood flow and my skin feels like it's been stretched from the weight of it. Seems like the only solution really is to buy an accessory strap setup. Seems kind of necessary anyway since these accessory straps often also include additional battery capacity, which is good considering the headset dies usually within 90-120 minutes from a full charge (even with it plugged in while playing!). After spending 500 on the headset, probably another 200 on games... This thing is getting pricey. Worth it to me so far!
The mixed reality is really hard to see through. Very dark and grainy. You’re not going to read your phone. Walking around in it is a little hard. I don’t understand the commercials showing watching YouTube while doing the dishes or cooking a meal. It is not that good.
