    Amazing package for only $199
    Ok, I got this not really expecting much, but I saw some reviews on reddit and a few other sites explaining how good it is for media. After a few days with the unit, here are my thoughts.- It is really comfy, especially if you have a larger head or wear glasses, even more comfortable than the Vive or the Rift!- The glasses insert isn't needed for YOUR glasses LOL. So many reviewers get this wrong. You have the option to order lenses for $79 in your prescription. If you order these, you'd use the lens spacer with THOSE! Not your personal glasses!- These are so comfy that you can easily sleep with them on- They remember where you left off, so if you are watching media on the web, Hulu, Netflix, Plex, Youtube, Vimeo or whatever, you just throw them back on and they resume where you left off. Great if you travel or if you need a break and you're in a depressing environment- The 3D Audio is SUPURB. Everything, even non-optimize content sounds incredible. Your ASMR Youtube videos will never feel more alive. When you move your head left or right, the audio adapts and changes as if the person is really there. I would recommend this for ASMR alone lol!- Lastly, VR/3D/60FPS/Binaural/4k-content has never been so amazing. For $199 you can be fully immersed in almost any reality you can imagine. Combined with the audio and the decent field of view, you are definitely in for a real treat. Combine it with (Brain(dot)fm) for mediation audio and prepare to be in a trance of wonder and excitement!- Setup was a breeze! Hats off to whoever designed this. Very in-depth pictures and videos for every step of the setup process made things quick and simple. I ran into some pairing issues with the remote because it was updating during the setup process, but the app has been updated since then.CONS:- Battery life sucks. Don't expect to get more than 1.5-2.5 hours out of this thing at the most. Depending on what you're doing, it can also get hot as well. If it gets too hot, you can't charge it and use it at the same time. Oculus also advises against charging it and using it at the same time. It seems to be ok for basic media consumption, but for gaming, I'd make sure to use it on the battery only. Some people are also building battery units for this thing.....yah....that's how bad the battery life is lol!- Storage. If you plan to keep this thing, definitely save the extra cash and spring for the 64GB version. When this thing hits 2GB of free storage or below, everything starts crashing and slowing down to a crawl. There's also no easy way to see how much storage you have, so be careful if you can only afford the 32GB version. It becomes truly limited when it approaches the capacity limit and you're trying to do something.- There are NO google apps for this thing. Sure, the browser works GREAT, but if you want the super high quality YouTube app with its easy login and ability to manage your queue from your phone, think again. Google wants nothing to do with the Oculus platform, so everything google related (Maps, Youtube, Search, Chrome, etc) will all need to be from the web.- Password mangement is a joke. If you have good password practices, be prepared to type in your super crazy complicated long login with a stupid virtual keyboard. Thankfully this is a one time thing, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE DEVELOP AN MOBILE OCULUS KEYBOARD lol!- The browser and video player are really good and really bad. Example, if you queue up a 360 YouTube video for a friend, take the headset off, then put it on your friend, it will EXIT the video and force your friend to learn the complex interface on the fly vs simply just leaving where you left off with the 360 video maximized in 360 view

    Okay, so I've tinkered with Google Cardboard with my iPhone. But of course, that's pretty limited. It was neat, but no something I'd pay much money for. I spent a good chunk of time reading up on early reviews prior to the official release and decided on the Oculus Go. I had my expectations set appropriately. I wasn't expecting it to blow my mind as if I'd stepped 10-20 years into the future of tech. It's $200, and I understand how much technology you can really fit into that price point.

    That said, this is pretty darn awesome!! Part of my decision for Go vs. waiting for the Lenovo stand-alone, is that Oculus Go pairs up with the Gear VR store. Soooo many more apps and games in there... some 4-5 times more. And when you're talking 250+ vs. 1000+, that's significant! And while 6dof would have been nice, I can't see paying TWICE the price for it.

    My initial/primary use for it is to view my home media. I run a plex server at home, and Plex supports this device. It would actually be the only way I currently have to watch a couple 3D videos I have at home (don't you hate when friends/family buy you a gift you can't use yet). The video is not as nice as watching it on a high end TV. But you know what... those cost $600-2000 and is just a TV. Yes, you can see pixels. But after a while, I tune it out. I'm of the generation that remembers growing up with 320x200 TVs. Hell, my college TV was an old 13" VHS/TV combo I'd had since I was 10 years old hooked up to my commodore. So, still WAY better than that!

    Anyway... I got mine on Friday. The Plex app is good, but needs work (that's on them, not the Oculus Go). I started playing some games as well, and am really enjoying the VR experience. My wife was a little less impressed, but she also expects iPhone OLED reality. I explained the state of the tech to her and she was a little more understanding, but wants her Ready Player One experience already. LOL.

    My main cons (but not negative enough to take a way a star, for me):
    - The battery life could be better. 2-3 hours is a lot, but it's amazing how much you lose time when that thing is on your head. They say you're not supposed to have it plugged in to charge while wearing it, but no explanation. I'm not sure if it's about the heat of battery charging while also using it, or if it's a CYA legal disclaimer. But if it takes 3 hours to charge (what claims/reviews say) and 2 hours of play time, that means even if it is pluggged in and charging, it will drain faster than it can charge.
    - The fabric on the mask is good, but could be a tad softer. I've read some other VR goggles are uncomfortable and can't be worn for more than 30 minutes. This is better than that. But it does have some pressure points and leaves a good indentation on your face after wearing it for an hour or two.
    - The lenses fog up at first. From what I read, this is a common issue with these headsets. Seems like they would work on some sort of vents or something to promote airflow. But once they warm up (either by warming them [someone suggested a hair dryer for a moment] or after 10-15 minutes of wearing them), the fogging goes away.

    The $200 is well worth the price! I do hope for improvements with software updates. I think if people have their expectations set appropriately (do some research, watch a few video reviews), they will not be disappointed with the Oculus Go. It's fun and it's priced at a level that I do think will launch VR much more into mainstream. I do hope that more apps/games come out, and that 1000+ app store grows to 10000+ apps. I would love to see more adaptations of mainstream games, although, I suspect processor power wouldn't be able to handle them well with battery life.

    I'm still exploring the store to find new apps. I want to check out some of the virtual gatherings (wish I had time today to watch the live launch of XSpace rocket for Bangladesh). I don't expect my opinion/review to downgrade, unless I encounter a system failure that Oculus fails to support.

    If you're new to VR and not expecting a Ready Player One experience just yet, I think the Oculus Go is a good choice.

    Outlined Review: Best VR first experience

    Who are these for:
    Anyone wanting to try VR with a quick, portable, easy setup solution.

    The Plan:
    Impulse buy really. I wasn’t looking for this, just browsing. When I ran across it and saw how easy it seemed to use, I figured how’s my chance to try VR and what the hype is all about.

    First Impressions:
    Very well packaged, smooth, easy, and organized. I figured this needed to charge first. Once it was done, I put it on my head and turned it on. I went through the setup process easily and was right into the Oculus home screen. This is not like seeing a commercial on tv or anything I’ve tried. It truly felt like I was standing right in front of a big virtual menu and inside a “real virtual” room. Right then, I knew this was going to be something I was glad I purchased.

    For Media:
    Music, movies, tv shows, documentaries, sports... you name it, this can play it completely unlike anything I’ve tried before. The experience of standing in front of a band playing live in a concert completely on the other side of earth is crazy, in a good way. I mean, I couldn’t understand a word of it or recognize the language, but I liked it. And watching a movie or show on this, takes you out of your physical location and into VR unknowingly. Next thing I know, the battery was about dead as it had been almost 3 hours of me using it. I couldn’t wait to charge it for more.

    For Games:
    At first, it’s easy to think that there aren’t many good games since many of the ones on here, or close to all, are games you may not have heard of before. But don’t let that fool you. Start exploring and you’ll soon find that there are tons of games and they are worth trying out... My mind... blown. I never thought I would have as much fun riding a roller coaster that I wasn’t actually riding. Yes, I know it isn’t the real thing. But you can’t help to feel that you’re a part of it, that you’re there. Anyways, there are fantastic games for this. Take a moment and try some free ones out. You won’t be disappointed.

    Tips:
    - I put clear Velcro on the side of the controller that comes with it. That way I can attach the controller to the side of the headset on the straps while I’m watching a movie or show and don’t need to use the controller for a while and not lose it.
    - If your cheeks start to hurt after a while, try tilting the sides where the straps are on the hard plastic pieces up while keeping the headset level. This will make the headset tilt slightly up and off your cheeks, something I wish I had known when I first got mine.
    - When not in use, put a microfiber cloth on top of your lenses in the headset. It will help keep them clean or from getting smudges.

    In conclusion:
    I know not much was said here concerning the Oculus GO itself. But it was, all of it. Because if a VR headset can make you feel the way this one does and you forget most of the time that you’re even wearing it, then I think that’s what makes a great VR headset. I’m excited to see the next step in VR.

    Pros:
    - Comfort level while wearing is good in my opinion.
    - Fast and easy to use and learn.
    - Comes with glasses insert that you can install easily to help keep it comfortable for people wearing glasses.
    - Quality materials used.

    Cons:
    - Short battery life.
    - Would like to see a visor version to swap out straps.
    - Not Bluetooth
    - Keyboard typing on it isn’t very user friendly. (Would like to see this resolved by being compatible with real keyboards.

    I would highly recommend this to anyone. Wether you’re new to VR like I was or you’ve been in the VR world for a while now, there’s no downside to having the Oculus GO.

    Thank you

    Bought this for my grandfather, he loves and so does the whole family. I have to say it very light and comfortable on the face unlike some cheaper ones we tried.

    Oculus Go es digamos, un headset mid/high-range, es decir, un punto más arriba de la media, superando las expectativas dado sus especificaciones. Es un headset independiente y de calidad, claramente no es un Rift o un HTC vive pero no necesitas una PC gamer para poder utilizar el headset. Como su nombre lo dice “Go” es para llevártelo a donde quieras y usarlo cuando quieras, es claramente una revolución de VR para poder hacerlo masivo, para su precio está excelente, ahora sin duda alguna abrirá un mercado nuevo para el mundo de la realidad virtual.
    La resolución digamos que está en un punto medio, para este precio está bien pero quizás si valdría la pena pagar un poco más para tener una mejor resolución, sin embargo, es buena para todo lo que conlleva un producto así.
    Puntos a favor:
    - Puedes configurar el Oculus Go sin un teléfono. Mantenga presionado el control de volumen hacia arriba / abajo y se abrirá un menú de configuración.
    - Independiente y sin cables molestos, es decir, no necesitas una PC poderosa para usarlo, simplemente póntelo y a disfrutar
    - Diseño moderno y minimalista con materiales de construcción de calidad
    - Está basado en Gear VR y ya cuenta con un mercado, ya existen muchas aplicaciones para este.
    - ALVR (más sobre esto abajo) extiende las capacidades. MUY RECOMENDADO.
    - Cuenta con la aplicación de Netflix para disfrutar todo el contenido como si estuvieras en el cine
    - Abajo menciono el problema del calentamiento, el punto a favor es que tiene un apagado automático cuando excede cierta temperatura.

    Puntos en contra:
    - La batería sin duda es su punto más débil con una duración de 2 hrs para Gaming y 2:30 hrs para películas y contenido multimedia.
    - NO tiene capacidad para expandir la memoria
    - 3 grados de libertad (es un headset más que nada para multimedia y algunos que otros juegos)
    - El calentamiento es un problema y aunque es de esperarse, se calienta muy rápido, hay que tener cuidado con el sobre uso de este.

    Oculus Go + ALVR
    ALVR es una pantalla de VR remota, es de código abierto (open source) para Gear VR y Oculus Go. Con él, puedes jugar juegos de SteamVR en tu headset.
    ALVR como menciono, te permite jugar los juegos de Steam VR haciendo streaming desde tu PC a tu Oculus Go, ojo: debes tener una PC buena para esto y opcionalmente, aunque recomendable, un control de Xbox One con bluetooth.

    Resolucion buena, estando acostumbrado a la de cualquier smartphone parece poca. Pocos juegos y apps, muy caras ademas. Sin embargo funciona muy bien. El audio muy bueno. El adaptador para lentes algo estorboso. Muy comodos. La bateria les dura muy poco. Buena calidad de materiales. Creo que el unico verdadero contra sin las pocas apps. Por lo demas es muy divertido. Por lo que ofrece deberia costar 3,000 pesos mexicanos.

    I really enjoy this Oculus Go. The display is very clear with fantastic speakers. There's a lot of great games for it. I highly suggest it. But I don't if you already have a newer gen Gear VR or Oculus Rift.
