Oculus Go Review

 

The Oculus Go is a new headset offers a completely self contained VR experience. It's completely wireless, and it doesn't rely on a phone for its screen.

Decent screen resolution and refresh rate ; Tracking feels accurate ; Plenty of software available at launch ; Motion controller included as standard

Battery life could be better ; No killer app

Oculus Go review

 

The headset that will take VR mainstream

Experience is almost as good as Oculus Rift ; Minimal screen-door effect ; Premium device for an affordable price

Sits heavy on the face ; Light comes through the bottom ; Battery-to-charge-time ratio isn’t ideal

Oculus Go marks a new era for VR, one in which anyone can simply slip on a headset and dive into virtual realms. Though not perfect, it offers a comfortable fit, solid build, excellent visuals and the promise of more great content to come. For the...

Oculus Go review: this is the VR headset the world's been waiting for

 

The technology may not be cutting edge but with no wires, a low price and 1000+ games and apps already, Oculus Go is a winner

Decent quality VR on the cheap ; Everything you need in one box with no wires ; Attractive and comfortable headset with excellent built-in speakers ; Numerous fun games and experiences

Basic head tracking only ; Tunnel vision simulation via narrow FOV ; There's lots of stuff to play with but no apparent 'killer app' ; Controller is decidedly basic

Wireless VR is joyful ; Easy-to-use controller ; User-friendly interface and intuitive navigation ; Affordable pricepoint ; Brilliant design features ; Spatial sound without headphones ; Comfortable to wear

Some issues with motion-sickness ; Battery life is a bit short ; Straight edges of the screen are visible at times ; Some experiences are blocky and underwhelming ; HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are still that much better

The Oculus Go is a well-crafted virtual reality headset. It doesn't need a smartphone or gaming PC to run, so it's incredibly affordable and open to anyone and everyone. The fact it's wireless makes it a joy to use, while the focus on design comfort...

Oculus Go Review: Free your VR

 

One of the first proper ‘standalone' VR experiences to hit UK homes is the Oculus Go. This £199 headset boasts its own display and Qualcomm...

Solid value for money ; Decent library of titles ; Sharp display ; Comfortable to use

Limited storage

The Oculus Go is a fantastic standalone solution for anyone who wants to try VR at home, without resorting to buying a specific smartphone to make it possible. It’s surprisingly affordable given it’s an all-in-one experience, while the Store is getting...

Oculus Go, reviewed: The best $199 VR

 

The first standalone VR system has arrived, no phone required. Here's our first week with one.

A completely self-contained, standalone, no-phone-or-PC-necessary VR system. Comfortable design and feel. Sharp-looking display and effective built-in speakers with spatial audio. Hundreds of apps. Oculus setup app works with iOS and Android phones....

Two-hour battery life. It's a sit-down experience (no room tracking). No expandable storage. No kid-safe settings. Lacks multiple account options.

Oculus Go is VR for the masses: A self-contained, standalone virtual reality headset that's portable, affordable and delivers a great experience for the price.

A well-made VR headset that’s once again lacking for content

Oculus Go Standalone VR Headset Review: Convenient VR For The Masses

 

Welcome to the beginning of the next era of virtual reality hardware, where host devices aren't needed, and cables are just for charging.

Great price ; Lightweight ; Tons of content ; High-quality build

No spatial tracking ; Longer charge time than run time

With a user experience that's better than any mobile headset and a price that almost anyone can afford, the Oculus Go delivers a great VR experience for the money, no smartphone or PC required.

Oculus Go review: Proof VR really is the future of entertainment

 

Untethered from a computer, without the shackles of a mobile phone, Oculus Go is VR at its most accessible

And this is where Oculus Go wins: price. Xiaomi is known for its affordable devices, and Oculus Go is a prime example. No other VR device comes close to Go for sheer affordability.
