Drop Shipping

We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries.

Ground Shipping

Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL.

If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.

    Cool idea, could be a bit better

    When your using it, you litteraly feel like your in another world. However, you can see each individual pixel on the screen, and no matter hot much you adjust it the screen is a bit blurry. This might just be me but after using it for more than 30 minutes, I got a massive headache and my eyes were hurting. But pretty cool product.

    More than a console gives the kids excercise.

    I love it bc my kid isn’t just sitting around moving his thumbs. This system makes them very active and uses a lot energy. instead of just staring at a screen the are engaged and sweating.

    Good experience

    I bought the quest 2 & it was a pretty good experience the only problem I had it didn’t come with the regular strap so I had to go out and spend an extra 20$ for it but the fast shipping made up for it my quest 2 came 2 days early

    Best Purchase Ever

    best thing i ever bought im surprised more people don’t have a meta quest its basically a computer for your face and the games are insanely good and it boggles my mind that people will buy the apple version which is $3500 and the Meta quest does the same thing and even more and this only cost $250

    Not bad for the price

    Awesome. You lose track of time.

    I hate exercising. I’m a fat girl and I don’t like exercising at all. I like this though. I never stick to anything, but this I’m always wanting to play. I wear glasses and my glasses fit comfortably inside the headset. I just have to put them in the headset first because they will smash against my face if I try to put the headset on while wearing them. I highly recommend this. I play supernatural, and Beats Saber. Both are a great workout. Get it, get moving, lose weight, feel great! 😉

    The Meta Quest is a great product just not for me. Each time I put on the Quest I would get a headache along with a funny feeling. My son played with the Quest with no problems.

    worth the price

    glad they dropped the price to 250$ USD, it’s 100% worth the price now and allows more people (like me) to get into VR without spending upwards of 300-800$ just to see if you would even like VR.it has a warranty and it works really well, allowed to use PCVR games and haven’t had any issues

    Cheapest functional VR; excellent aftermarket accessories

    Expect to pay an extra 100$ for the full experience (long cable, controller straps, headstrap, facial interface replacement).After that, it’s hard to beat the price.I’m sure facebook is selling all my data, but what are they gonna learn anyways? That I have no money or friends? lmaoDespite the huge value proposition (especially having gotten mine for 200$ in a promo) I’m still considering getting a q3 for the following:q2 controllers don’t track when behind your back, q3 has controller-cameras.The tracking rings are big and clunky and always smack into each other.+250$ (twice as much) for nicer controllers is a hard sell though since you’d get worse aftermarket accessories (lower volume=smaller market/variety).

    Awesome Virtual Reality Game

    This game is amazing! The audio, hand tracking, and intuitive controllers truly make virtual worlds feel so real. With lot of games, apps, and even live events, there’s so many options. Setup was super easy, just make sure you have a designated play area. I would highly recommend this game for anyone looking for virtual reality.

    Amazing except the battery and head strap

    My (ex)gf bought this for me for my birthday years ago. Love it still use it regularly. Great exercise. Only issues is battery life and the head strap. I recommend checking out BoBoVR for their head strap that has quick change battery packs. Super amazing set up

    Amazing Overall

    I enjoyed getting to the post office for this. I enjoyed peeling the promos off the front and opening it up, and I can say I’m satisfied. A couple pros I see are:-Easy menu navigation-it’s not super clunky-it’s easy to change straps (like I did with mine)-it runs games great (most times)-it’s generally fun to use-large library of games-can connect with a pc-etcSome cons it’s got are:-low battery life (lasting around an hour or two)-the normal strap is a pain in the rear-it’s forward heavy with no rear balance-handtracking is somewhat unintuitive-handtracking and normal controllers seem to switch for no reason.-it gets uncomfortable if it’s on your face for to long-lenses tend to be to wide or to narrow for some people’s eyes so they deal with constant blur (like myself)-etcOver all it’s a great product and it’s an amazing tool to make friends or meet with friends and interact with one another!

    A startling, occasionally disquieting virtual reality experience for all

    First, a little background. I’m 73 years old. Above average in the activity department, adept mentally, although I am literally the only person I know who can lose something when standing perfectly still. I have four grandchildren. I hold down a full-time job as a writer, and a once-a-year gig teaching Rio Grande Board Games at the annual World Boardgaming Championships (WBC).It was at the most recent WBC that I was introduced to MetaQuest 2 and in particular, its bundled game called Beat Saber. I’d tried much cheaper VR systems, the ones that hold your phone and you have to download apps to run on them. This was an entirely different ball game. This was, I should note, not a function of the WBC. It just so happened that one of the site administrators had brought the system along with him and one evening, invited me to give it a try.The first issue that one should note is that once you put the headset for this system on, you are pretty much detached from the reality around you. This is fine as long as it’s just you and the machine, but you can forget about being outside the machine and trying to instruct someone inside the machine about what’s going on. As it happened, the man who introduced me to the system basically set it up for me – put it on his own head, clicked the right buttons – and then transferred the headset to me. With a couple of hand prompts and a word or two, Beat Saber, the program that comes with the MetaQuest 2 when you buy it these days, came on line and there I stood, with two controllers, one in each hand, as my eyes beheld on the screen in front of me, a series of square blocks coming at me, each with an arrow, pointing either up, down, right or left. The controllers operate two light sabers, one in each hand, and the object of this game is to swat the approaching blocks in the direction indicated by the arrow on them. There are also occasional large obstacles coming at you, like skinny walls, which appear like three-dimensional line drawings as they approach. You can’t swat these aside and the idea is to avoid them. In most cases, this entails just stepping out of their way, either to the right or the left, but dependent on some choices you make in Beat Saber, some of these objects can be wide and impossible to avoid unless you duck as they approach. No way to jump over them.And there’s music. At first, you don’t pick up on the idea that your swatting activity with the light sabers can occasionally be rhythmic, linked to the beat of the music. . .Beat Saber. Get it? But you’ll pick up on that fairly quickly. If you don’t dance and would like to, this is a good program that will force-feed you the concept of moving your body in beat with the rhythm of a song. You don’t realize you’re dancing because as far as you’re concerned, you’re swatting colored boxes with virtual reality light sabers. A note of caution. People familiar with the system and how it works will delight in recording video of your attempts to play the game; unbeknowst to you, ’cause you’re wrapped up in the headset and can’t see anything but what the machine is giving you to see. These people recording you will be LOL-ing themselves breathless, as you contort yourself in a relatively confined space, trying to dodge things and swat at the colored boxes.I made the mistake of failing to heed the warning that if I didn’t buy one of these systems soon, its price was going to go up. A lot. And it did. But I bought it anyway and am just beginning to tap into the available free apps and exploring the possibility of buying other ones.There’s a free Epic Roller Coaster app, which is fairly enjoyable, although oddly enough, both myself and my wife (now at home with our own MetaQuest 2) found ourselves getting a little queasy during the experience. Not sure what that’s about. She NEVER goes on real roller coasters and I do it all the time.Also found a walking-on-a-building-skeleton app that had me God knows how many stories high and though not generally afraid of heights (acrophobia), I wasn’t all that keen on walking on the available, skinny steel walkways to approach the edge. I’m in my living room, my mind knowing damn full well that I’m not only not as high as the program makes me think I am, but am, in fact, on solid ground. Yet, in an attempt to approach the edge and have a look OVER the edge, I am literally creeping forward, edging my foot out in front of me, making sure of my balance with each step. My mind absolutely refuses to grasp the concept that I am not in any danger.It should be noted that when you play in virtual reality, the mechanism has you define a space where you are going to be, literally drawing a perimeter line. It’s not because the machine is worried you might step off the big building you only think you’re on, but when you’re playing a game like Beat Saber, you want to make sure that your arm movements don’t knock over a lamp your Aunt Ethel gave you for Christmas last year, or in moving your legs around, you don’t accidentally kick the screen out of your new Smart TV.I haven’t been too excited by any of the first-person shooter kind of apps that are available. That kind of activity never lured me to the various systems that were already on the market. But I did notice and have been on the verge of pulling the trigger on some of the other activities, like table tennis, actual tennis and some other sports activities, like baseball. Am also interested in what is, at present, a small selection of board games, like Tsuro and chess (in a variety of different environments). They offer Catan (originally, Settlers of Catan) and though my interest in board games is strong, I never really liked Catan in real-time, so I’m not going to pick it up in VR.I recommend this system highly. The experience of good VR (and you can buy systems better than the basic one that I purchased) is mind-altering. It’s something to which your mind has never been previously exposed; an alternate reality with its own set of rules that takes some getting used to. It’s more expensive than pot, but unlike pot, it doesn’t just let your head create new connections and free it from everyday anxieties, it creates a reality within your brain that is intriguing to watch, hear and interact with.And as my age indicates, fun for all ages.Oh, and one other cautionary note for those of a certain advanced age. The first time I tried the system, at the WBC, my score at Beat Saber was abysmally low. So I tried again. And again. It wasn’t my hand movements with the controllers or the side-stepping away from approaching objects that got to me. It was the ducking at things that I had to let go over my head. I made the crouching moves necessary with reckless abandon. Once, again, and again. My upper thighs complained to me all of the next day. The good news is that it makes for good, healthy exercise.

    The best

    “I recently received the Meta Quest 2 from Amazon, and it has been an absolute game-changer for me. This VR headset has turned my gaming experience into something extraordinary. I find myself immersed for hours on end, exploring new worlds, meeting new people, and engaging in activities that not only entertain but also encourage physical movement. The Meta Quest 2 offers a truly immersive experience that allows me to escape reality and dive into a virtual realm where the possibilities are endless. The social aspect of the headset is a standout feature for me, as I get to connect with friends and strangers alike, making each gaming session a unique and engaging experience. Moreover, the Meta Quest 2 has motivated me to be more active, as I find myself moving and interacting in ways that I never thought possible in a gaming environment. The blend of entertainment and exercise is truly remarkable, making each session not only fun but also beneficial for my overall well-being. The ability to travel to different worlds within the virtual reality space is a captivating feature that keeps me coming back for more. Whether I’m exploring majestic landscapes or futuristic cities, the Meta Quest 2 never fails to transport me to new and exciting places, making every gaming session an adventure. In conclusion, the Meta Quest 2 has exceeded my expectations and is easily one of the best investments I’ve made for my gaming experience. It’s more than just a headset – it’s a gateway to a world of endless possibilities, social connections, and immersive entertainment. If you’re looking to take your gaming to the next level, the Meta Quest 2 is definitely worth considering.”

    55yr old female reviewer: BENEFITS – amazing, wonderful experience

    I’m 55 years old, and suffered NO motion sickness. This is because you can adjust the speed of movement and choose SITTING MODE. In many games you can “jump” to a spot.You will charge your headset and then set up a Metaquest account. After that with your headset on, you will be taken to an interface inside the VR world where you can adjust and tweak your personal settings to suit you. You will also see APPS which teach you how to use everything.Be aware that if you want to buy Metaquest games only, they WILL download directly onto the headset. From other sites like STEAM you need to have a computer capable of LINKING the headset to the game. Google the requirements. ( This info provided by my 20 something computer savvy son.)I have had my headset one week and I can truly say it is initially a LIFE CHANGING experience.-I am not on there to play combat games-If you want to TRAVEL, to PLACES IN NATURE you will not be disappointed!. National Parks around the world on BRINKS TRAVELER, NATURE TREK takes me to mountains, trees, water features and wildlife!!! TRIPP is …mind blowingly calming, imaginative, artistic, beautiful…outstanding. I still have to try 2 or 3 others I bought, but couldn’t wait to write this review.Yes it’s TRUE you CAN tell it’s not real, but it’s the next best thing to actually being there. What helps is that when you lean forward in your seat and look around, it’s in 3D all around you! You are totally immersed.So if anyone my age or older is hesitating for all the reasons that I was…don’t, go for it.I bought my games half price off in a sale, so I’m sure the sales will return.To summarize: In the beginning, the first week, I went on VR every evening and enjoyed discovering the wonderful, amazing and beautiful VR world. However it is a just form of entertainment and after the novelty wears off, like all things in life, after a short while, it will just become a part of entertainment / relaxation tools and won’t replace all your other interests. You will still want to read, watch movies, play match -3 🤣🤣🤣, cook, enjoy REAL hiking and REAL people. And then when the mood suits you you’ll be back on VR.Just so it’s known, my first experience of VR was a year ago, in an exhibition, “The Van Gogh Immersive Experience.” The VR there allowed you to travel THROUGH paintings! I traveled through the beloved “Cafe de Nuit”. I was in. AWE.I would LOVE IT if developers could develop more experiences like that, traveling into:paintings, museums, monuments, landmarks, documentaries, history…EVERYTHING PLEASE! And THANK YOU 🙏I bought the comfort headset, extra attachment, and it’s worth it to get a good fit. Also if one of your eyes is sharper than the other like mine you can buy lens relacements on Amazon (I believe, I still have to look into it more). You need to know you eyeglasses prescription strength. That’s the funny thing, if in real life you need to move closer to a sign to read it, you will in VR too !!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

    Works Great. Graphics not as great as expected.

    Pros: Works great. Lots of free stuff. Need PC and usbC to connect if you want better graphics. Many games and social apps and a few simulations. You definitely have a learning curve if you want to go beyond a few plinking games. The graphics are not very good when using the headset alone as I guess the processing power is not enough. They are on part with a Wii or perhaps PC games from the 1990-2000s. Having super hi resolution lenses is wasted on video which is not realistic. I have not used them with the PC too much yet. The graphics still aren’t that great. The experience, though is really interesting and gives you a floaty feeling of being in a new environment. The free roller coaster running on just the headset can easily get you dizzy or sick as it moves but you don’t so it can be a bit disorienting on fast mode. The theater gives a bit of a surreal experience to watching a video, etc. on a giant screen. The build-in sound is very good and immersive although you can run your own headphones if you like.And, its just like all the videos, when you are in the experience, it is so real that you forget there is a real world around you so you need some room for movement in the real world so as not to hit something.I can live without it pretty easily but it is a definite great experience and I can wait to do some of the driving and flying sims once I get the controls hooked up to my PC.

    fun way to burn time!

    i purchased this solely to play golf + with and let me tell you. it is one of the best purchases ive made in a while. very decent price point for what you get. can be a little glitchy at times after the initial startup but after 10 minutes of use it clears up well. cannot say enough good things about this other then that!

    Holy Cow!

    I just finished a rather challenging online degree program the other day and decided I owed myself a little something to celebrate. I had just enough cash to buy one of these and thought I’d see if it was all I’d hoped it might be. Holy freakin’ crap!I was lucky enough to have a little spare cash on hand so to celebrate finishing my classes I bought myself a MetaQuest 2 VR headset package from Amazon. I did the initial set up tonight which was itself amazing. I have a virtual home that’s my startup lobby for everything and my home is on a space station complete with huge windows with a bright nebula outside and shuttles flying past docking at the station. When I need to access any menus etc., a window just opens up in the air in front of me and with my bare hands I can just tap any commands or instructions I want onto it and it whisks me away to wherever I’ve instructed it.After setting it up I finally gave a shot to my first free, fairly rudimentary game which is pretty much a first-person shooter game. When it loaded up I was in awe as I found myself standing on a high pedestal inside a gigantic flaming stadium where a fleet of mean looking drones start opening fire on me from every direction. I can see I have guns in my hands that are like blasters from Star Wars and I have to shoot down these attacking drones while I’m spinning in circles trying to pick my targets, and not fall off the pedestal while I’m firing a barrage of neon pink energy bolts at them. At one point I found myself with each arm outstretched straight out to my left and right sides and was just twirling in a circle firing while spinning and just found myself giggling like a little kid. I’m really stunned at how real it all looks and feels when that headset is on my face. I didn’t really think it would be that good, that all-consuming, or that real. I literally felt like I was inside a real-world sci-fi movie and it was incredible!Best thing is this little toy is also a very good piece of workout equipment. There are a ton of apps out there like Supernatural VR that have you constantly punching flaming meteors coming at you while having to jump over obstacles, squat down to keep from having your head knocked off and can get you sweating, wiped out and sore in just a few minutes. I can see this is going to be something I’ll be using like crazy.Tonight I’m going to try watching a movie on it. Apparently one of the apps I downloaded will play from my Netflix account, and put me inside a movie theater with seats, and lit aisles and the movie on a huge screen right in front of me. Really remarkable. I was excited to try one of these out and it turns out it’s even better that I imagined.

    Amazing But..

    Pros:- Fairly Immersive.- Amazing experiences.- Personal home theater, huge movie screen, made even better with paid Virtual Desktop ($20usd) that gives you actual movie theater vibes and tons of other scenes. Oculus link (Free) does a pretty good job with big screen too.- Nice desktop experience in VR through Oculus Link (free)- High refresh rates up to 120hz (if you’re wired and can find a game that supports it)- Haven’t seen other views to compare, but I’m very satisfied with the resolution. And hear its better than most if not all other VR headsets right now while also keeping in mind its the most compatible with VR games. Im guessing this is the Playstation or XBOX of Virtual Reality. Or they are lining up to be. Either way, its the right choice for gaming and other.- Truly the next level in gaming and virtual spaces like home theater.- Gonna list Half Life: Alyx as a pro. Was my first VR experience, and although god-tier amazing, I would suggest working up to it as not much has compared since 😛 But I am having fun in other games like Boneworks and TWD Saints and Sinners. I like TWD more so far but I have a few gripes with that game. (Not a reflection of this product)- As anyone would tell you, works well with streaming services. You got your Netflix Hulu and Disney plus.- You can load movies and videos from your pc stored into Oculus directly for trips without wifi.Cons:- Good thing I already owned a beasty gaming pc. You’re gonna need one for titles like Half Life: Alyx.- Battery life. Could not watch a 2hr30min movie without plugging in. Con still offset by the amazing movie theater-like experience. Was using Virtual Desktop so maybe the wifi usage played a part.- Real Con, the strap it comes with is uncomfortable and will give you a headache the first week or so.- It is heavy on the front and my forehead and cheeks hurt, requiring me to take a break, wash and massage my face every couple of hours, every day. (I’ve watched videos on how to adjust and not over-tighten but not much can be done about the reality of the situation. It is far from weightless and fairly noticeable.-If you need glasses to see things far away, you will need glasses for the VR headset too. Special lens caps cost roughly between $60 and $100USD. But it comes with a spacer. You can likely get away with those retro non-spacer glasses.If they have those little feet that push off the nose you might be in trouble and if they are really big, you might be in trouble so look into the dimensions of the quest 2 view port and your glasses. An annoying extra step but probably worth it.-Scuba Diver effect. The view cant be in the pro section. As I said, you’ll feel like a scuba diver. Only during the most immersive of times will you not notice too much. To be fair this is.. most of the time.- blurring and lens-rings. If not absolutely perfectly centered, you’ll get some blurring in various parts of your view. At first and for a few days the little magnification rings of the actual glass piece of the lenses will be very noticeable in your peripheral. Again to be fair.. again, while having an amazing time, you will not notice.- Also there’s this thing about the lens spacing I hear a lot of people complaining about. I think I’m just at the edge of the farthest setting but could probably do with a tiny bit more. Read other reviews and look into it about I forget what its called, the space between both your pupils.- It’ll take a few days or more than a week for your mind to ignore some of these, like the rings, occasional blur, and scuba effect.-Serious con, be ready to shell out at least another $100usd or so on extras. $19 link cable $16 extension cable plus breakaway protection, Silicone Grips and hand strap (worth it and kind of necessary for throwing objects in comfort,) $30 Rechargeable batteries or a large supply of AA’s. Be sure either are 1.5v. $10-30. Head Strap pad I bought $15 (not compared to $30-50+ or so elite straps. And if you need the prescription lens caps another $60-100. And your first game ranges from $10-40usd or so, for the good stuff.- Very few free games/stuff. And not that many AAA amazing titles. (Not exactly a reflection of this particular product)-This thing gets sweaty after a few dozen minutes of intense gameplay so have a dry cloth handy and don’t get pulled into the ‘pass it on or around after playing beat saber to your friends’ fantasy.IMO/SideNotes Related to this product directly and VR as a whole:- The device should have been a more evenly weight-distributed helmet.- I wouldn’t expect to game any more than an hour or two without being plugged in either to a power outlet or pc. Mileage may vary.- Buy a 10 – 20 ft data cable with your purchase. The provided cable is like 3ft or something. You’re gonna need it regardless of pc ownership. Search youtube for good 3rd party brands it should cost around $18-28usd or so for a good cable with decent length.- Find your play area and hold your arms out, now plan for an additional one or two feet, mainly North, West and East of you. The Quest 2 comes with a ‘Guardian’ thats really good at letting you know when you’re ‘out of bounds’ but you will be bending to search or grab stuff reaching and leaning over, tossing things aside (In VR, While stationary, with one or two steps of leeway) make sure you have the space to be swinging your arms around like that. be honest with yourself about this space. If you don’t have it, you don’t have it. Sorry. I had to rearrange my room a little but luckily I had the space and it was absolutely worth it.-VR is very physical. Some games have seated options but require too much leaning and grabbing and searching to do it sitting down. So be ready to stand and crouch and lean. I kept that from both pro’s and cons. IMO, awesome, but be ready for it. Make yourself take breaks every half to sit and stretch if you’re not used to standing all day, but not even taking into account the workout apps, this has gotten me burning more calories and keeping my redstuff circulating more and my metabolism on its toes. Actually crouching behind cover is pretty cool but also tiring lol.- IMO, Probably not a con, too many older games being remade or re-released in VR. Don’t get me wrong, Fallout 4 with Whispering Hills mod was and is mindblowing but after putting in so many hours on the pc version and playing it for years, its kinda hard to get all the way into again. But I guess for kids who never ever played Fallout 4 and they get it for VR, then it’ll be pretty awesome for them. Same for Resident Evil 4 Which I played on the Gamecube, not in VR yet but I fear the novelty will wear off as I played that game like crazy already and it would be a massive retread – even if VR itself is still amazing, I’ll stand by that. (So not a direct reflection of this product)-I want to see more completely brand new AAA single player games.-I hear GTA San Andreas is coming to VR.. Again, great for kids, but how about a brand new GTA VR?.- Only been in the scene a few weeks but, looking back and ahead, it looks like a really lazy and slow march into making VR a thing for everyone. IMO right now it’s still more of a niche enthusiast thing. I only say that because I’ve been hearing about VR for years. What did people play on the Quest 1?- Get a small rug or mat to stand on, maybe even a towel will do so you know when you’re stepping off too far out of bounds. I have a small rug I folded up just enough to fit my feet with a little bit of slack on all sides. This’ll make you more comfortable but will also help keep you stationary and orient you. They sell $100 tough gamer standing pads about the size of the guardian, if you have the dedicated space and money for it, I can’t stop you I guess, but a simple, thick rug or small yoga mat will do.-Like a baseball plate, add a little point when you draw your guardian space to let you know which way you should be facing at all times, you want that wire mostly behind you at all times.I have more to say but admittedly this is getting long. I would wait a couple of years until a much lighter and more comfortable VR device comes out. But, if you cannot wait any longer and love gaming or just want what VR has to offer. I can tell you that, it is here, and it is amazing.Seeing previews of anything VR on a 2D screen cannot do it justice and neither can words, of this you must trust me, you would have to experience it yourself to truly understand. Ask a friend or coworker if they have one and if you can try it. You wont believe it until you do. Or take the plunge like I did. I have my gripes with this thing, and it’s not all fairy tales, but I do not regret purchasing it. Like I said before, it really is the next level in gaming, and it really is here.Be considerate, please. This took a while to write to help you.

    First VR that is truly “entry level”, but with some catches.

    Ok, I have to say, this is what I was waiting for. VR that wouldn’t break the budget. On some sales, it can be had as cheaply as $200, which is amazing for a true VR system. Well, it’ll be $250, and you get $50 back that you can spend on other stuff, like games, which you’re going to need to buy for it anyway.I also like that you don’t need to set up sensors.. you can take it with you! That’s so cool and conveniant!I had heard bad things about the onboard speakers, but I found them to be quite good for what they are, and perfectly usable, with excellent 3D head tracking! If you don’t like them, you can always just plug in some earbuds of your choosing.The meta store has a nice selection of games and software that often go on sale, and have a fantastic “sponsored” system, where if you take someone’s recommendation, you get 25% off and they get a $5 credit, and once you purchase and recommend, you get $5 to spend on some other purchase. I got quite a few cool games for $100, half of which was covered by my initial $50 credit. I’m more than happy in this area. Only complaint? The Meta “library” where you browse titles is kinda clunky, but I don’t have hundreds of games, so it’s ok for now. The games do have less depth and replayability than regular games, that seems to be the nature of VR.Now, for the downsides.- right off the bat, if you’ve tried other systems that are more expensive like Playstation VR or PC VR, you’ll notice the graphics look.. um.. very primitive in games. The 3D processing power seems to be somewhere between a Nintendo 64 and a Gamecube, sorry to be blunt about it. However, developers are doing creative things to get around it as best they can. It is what it is, when you use “budget” tech.- I’m not sure if it’s due to the lack of external sensors, or if it’s the weak processors choking, but semi-regularly the head tracking “stutters” which is really off putting, and takes you out of the game and immersion, and makes motion sickness worse. You’ll be looking around, and even if it’s for a few frames here and there, it’s just not always smooth. It’s not a total game breaker, but again, there are real sacrifices to using cheaper, simpler hardware.- You will have to buy some accessories to get the most of this system. The headstrap that comes with it is functional to an extent with casual games and short playtimes, and VERY travel friendly, being just an elastic strap, and the battery life is very short for the syste, but the good news is, there’s lots of choices out there for better headsets that have built in extended batteries, and they’re not super expensive. I picked up a black friday headset with a built in battery for $25. That’s great! I also recommend a carrying case to keep the system all together and safe.I haven’t tried linking the system to my PC, but I’ve heard that can bring out even more possibilities to what games you play.So that’s about it so far. I have heard a complaint that Facebook can take your whole system offline if you get reported on your facebook account, so that’s horrifying. maybe don’t use your real facebook account when you setup the system just to be safe.Summary: the best system on a budget, with some drawbacks. I think if money is tight but you want your kids to experience VR, this is perfect. That’s where I’m at, so I’m happy with it.Pictured with third party headstrap and case, two accessories I feel are necessities for the system.

    Torn in two directions at once….

    So, there are two sides to this product. From a hardware standpoint, I really don’t have any complaints. The headset is comfortable enough with one of the better adjustable head straps I’ve ever seen on any head-worn device. (I recommend wearing a cloth skullcap or even washcloth so that the strap isn’t pulling on your hair (a baseball cap won’t work), and the towel will collect sweat, although I’ve yet to sweat in it. There’s a learning curve with the controllers, though it’s not bad. Be careful, you could easily break them quickly, smashing them into each other, or punching into a wall or objects, though the guardian carrier does work effectively in keeping you from running into things once you set it up, so make sure you set it up properly. This product can NOT be operated in less than an 8ft square space. You may want to own a house with a dedicated room, or have some space in your apt. Don’t expect to use this in an apt with no central open space. The audio isn’t as good as some newer iphones, but its not bad either, however, I hope sending it out to a stereo is seamless. I have a feeling it won’t be. Connecting to the internet was not a problem at all.My real issue is I don’t feel the browsing of apps and functions is OPTIMAL considering how much fanfare Facebook is blowing about the metaverse. The nav took me a bit to get used to, but then it became fairly logical. The issue is some apps are much better at navigating than others. Having to boot out with the Oculus button varies app to app, and it almost never takes you back to the previous menu which you dove in from. The control console always shows up, but the menu of what you were in doesn’t always. Case in point – the tv channel, which includes various travel VR scenes of Paris, Cairo etc. The Paris footage was great, if short, but I tried to boot out of Cairo, and the TV icon became visible, and I clicked on it, and I went right back into the video where I was, NOT to the previous menu of selections. I NEVER got back there, and ended up NOWHERE near where I started. Facebook needs to crack down on those apps not meeting the nav standards, but they prob don’t want to lose previous content, which takes some effort to create, it is clear.You have to give this time. Some apps will disappoint, others will amaze, and there’s no way to predict it, because this is a new sort of medium. The demos are often not adequate to be sure you want to pay for the app, and that can be a bummer, because if you don’t like it, you just paid for zippo.For instance, one app claimed to be free, then dumped me into a big showroom where you have to buy your weapons. Other apps have demos good enough to make it clear buying the app will be worth it over time. Facebook should do more to demand adequate demos from developers.An app like Superhot is phenomenal and makes you happy you bought this. The demo gives you a taste of what the game about, and then the game seems like a good deal, and you’ve got a satisfying experience. I HIGHLY recommend the ISS space experience downloads if you want to see what floating in orbit is like. It’s quite astonishing. The travel experiences make you want to go to those places. The issue is if you don’t get into the right apps, you might find yourself saying ho hum.The travel TV segments look great if a bit dated. The famous fitness program Supernatural instantly put me into a 14-day trial that will go straight into monthly payments if I don’t cancel it. Can’t you just show me the program for an hour without getting my payment info? This isn’t your iphone where you know iOS is there to protect you. This is Facebook, and yeah, I have a bias towards Apple, and I’m here to tell them that this market is open to take away from Facebook, because they aren’t doing it 100% optimally.Another problem I have is the utility VR programs that tap into desktop software I want to use that are more specialized work through Steam and the PC. I want the Quest 2 to interface with Apple, and that may not be happening.I’m not saying that VR isn’t a stunning experience, and the physical side is really well figured out. It truly is, but the software side (as often is the case) could be tighter. This is Facebook, and they claim to own this space so they deserve more pointed criticism. The issue is also that VR is a somewhat new medium, so some patience is to be expected. It will take a few tries to get used to the basic operation, and then you can start assessing the apps. However, if you get dud apps before you get used to the operation, you may find it all overrated. I just think Facebook should match their introduction to the physical use of the headset to a good cross section of apps to bring you in further. Echo VR is another app that shows you the potential of the medium once you get into it. However, I’m not really about meeting up with people I don’t know to play games. These apps should have single-player options by default. The VR environment instantly puts you into a space where you’re making choices, and sometimes you don’t like the choices the app you’re in has made. You want to do something else.People complain about the interface of the accounts with Facebook. I wasn’t crazy about it at first, but you can create multiple profiles under the main one, so it’s not the end of the world. Of course, many of the settings have to be reentered from scratch, and so far the apps don’t seem to cross across the accounts, so not sure if that’s optimal.Also, literally ZERO apps come with the console. There are free apps, but you wouldn’t know it, since how to find them is NOT immediately apparent (once again, squeezing your own customer instead of being their pal), some of which are more or less lying, and others which are highly boring. You would think Facebook would have the brains to greet new users into their wondrous world by just having a mainstay of 3 seamless good apps for everyone that got you feeling good about the console you just bought.So I give it 4 stars for setup of the headset itself, and 2 stars for not really introducing the user properly to a set of apps that shows them the power of the medium overall.

    Love it..

    Purchased the oculus quest 2 it took forever to set up the account…kept getting error message. I had to turn off my wifi and use my data on my phone, and that’s how i was able to set up the account which the problem never stop there. I then purchased games on the app but the headset does not show the games added in the library on the app. I have tried watching every youtube video on how to fix this issue but that didn’t work. When I thought all hope was lost a friend recommend that I take the headset to a game specialist who fixed the issue under 10mins…I almost gave up but I am happy I didn’t now I am in love. My favorite game is the roller coaster It allows you to shoot targets while on the Rollercoaster.

    Fun, but tiring

    The system is incredibly fun, got it to play Blade and Sorcery as well as Pavlov and both feel fantastic on the Meta Quest 2 — however do be aware that it is fairly tiresome to play after work or a day out. The other potential negative that I find is that the graphical quality is fairly low which causes a few issues adjusting to VR, if you have the money I would go for the Quest 3 but you won’t be disappointed by the Quest 2’s performance.Finally, and perhaps most annoying, is the need to set up a Meta account and connect it via a mobile device to actually set it up. Personally, I would prefer a device that I pay for to be able to use out-of-box without any need for setting up potential security risks to my accounts. While this has become industry standard with home consoles throughout the years with Sony, Microsoft, Valve, etc. all requiring accounts with their service to use their hardware — the truly annoying thing is that unlike those you absolutely need to tie it to your mobile device for it to work here.

    Better then what you think

    I recently got this headset and i got to say it was better then what i expected. It is very immersive and makes you feel like you are directly involved in what you are doing. You cant get the effect by watching reviews on youtube. You really have to try it for yourself. But i will tell you, it is very interactive and 100 times better than what you see on youtube. For an example, I’m playing star wars vader immortal and it feels like i am actually in the enviorment. reaching down, looking around, grabbing things, physcially swing the saber around, etc. A whole new level to entertainment. Can’t wait to explore more in the world of VR. In a nut shell, it is worth the investment especially if you need a good escape too.

    Having fun with my new VR my virtual Escape

    Being a homebody over 50 female, the Meta Quest 2 is my go-to for fun. Just slap on the headset, and I’m in a whole new world – without stepping outside. It’s easy no complicated setup. The graphics? Crazy real. I can do anything like visiting museums, play games or join virtual events. It’s like having endless entertainment on demand.In a nutshell, for folks like me who enjoys staying home but want a bit of adventure the Meta Quest 2 is the way to go. Oh and I also bought a new comfortable head strap with the extended battery for longer gameplay and it does fit well on my head and works well on the Meta Quest VR.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS GAME!!

    I don’t do movement well. I get motion sickness. Some of the games I’m not able to play because they do affect me. However, I’ve found numerous games that I can play that are tons of fun. I downloaded and began using FitXR. I’m a sedentary grandma. This game has me up on my feet, working on those wings on the backs of my arms and helping me to feel better about myself. I’ve only been playing with it a couple weeks and I can already see a difference.What’s the bad? SWEAT!! I begin to breath hard and pretty soon I’m sweating. Then then lenses fog up and I have to take a short break to clean them up. Still very much worth it!

    The best entryway to VR

    The Quest 2 is probably the best bang for the buck in VR market at the moment. At 200-250$ it is great with awesome software and hardware quality that exceeds the expectations you have at this price point. I bought it solely for Assassins Creed Nexus game and was not disappointed – that VR gaming experience literally cured my gaming exhaustion and brought back my interest in gaming. And that’s coming from a person who had been playing games all their life and got bored recently.A small note should be added without any decrease to score given since this is not hardwares’ fault – the VR isn’t for everyone. I got kinda dizzy first times I’ve played, but got used to VR and now am enjoying my time with the device. Just be aware that this may not be the same for you and you may not get used to it. This really depends on your vestibular system.

    Happy in the Metaverse

    I purchased this headset for my relative. And she is quite happy with it, it a great stress relief for her. Easy to use and setup. Prices are going down, so it a good purchase for your kids, lol . If they break it not a big deal. Not going to rehash the technical side of it. Since you can look at the numerous videos out there.

    Good, but not perfect.

    I first used the Oculus Quest 2 over a year ago, and my experience with it was wonderful. Great tracking, UI, and very user friendly. The only problems I ran into a few months after buying it was the battery. Over time the battery life went from lasting around 2-3 hours down to about an hour and a half to 2 hours if I was lucky. The left controller stick also developed some drift, which was very frustrating considering I took such good care of not just my Oculus, but all of my consoles. The rubber face mask also fell off and it felt like it was impossible to put back on, which led to having to play without it, leading to rashes on my face due to the foam that was on the headset. I ended up selling that first headset to my cousin for around 70 dollars as is, and I didn’t think much of the oculus again until now that I have a gaming PC. I hope that buying it again will change any problems that I ran into almost 2 years ago.

    Could be better in some aspects with a few changes but still absolutely worth it!

    I have absolutely enjoyed the heck out of this headset. It’s fun and the fact that someone on my budget could afford it is really something. I wouldn’t have had a VR set if it weren’t for this being as affordable as it is. There are some shortcuts clearly taken to help keep it affordable but the actual VR hardware is amazing. Visuals are clear and immersive and it keeps up with my movements very well. If you don’t have the money for something like an Index or Vive but want VR this is a great choice. It’s also pretty sturdy. I’ve punched my table so hard my knuckles bled and the controller barely had a mark on it. You also can’t tell I’ve headbutted my desk multiple times trying to pick up guns and rotwiener cores lol.Lets get complaints out of the way first:• The original strap the headset came with is 100% the absolute worst part of the headset.Do yourself a favor and snag the Kiwi Design head strap while you’re here on Amazon. The original strap squeezed the heck out of my head and if I loosened it the headset could flop around a bit causing blurry graphics and just being uncomfortable for a different reason. Due to that constant squeeze it gave me some nasty headaches usually after 2-3 hours of gameplay but sometimes much sooner and they could last the rest of the day. While they’re nothing compared to a cluster headache for pain they were still what I’d consider bad.• Air link was awesome and worked great but was broken within a week of receiving the headset likely due to a patch (0.37 I think).I didn’t get to enjoy it and the only potential bit of troubleshooting I have left to try as far as I’ve found is a factory reset which I’m reluctant to do. I bought a 3rd party link cable which is working well enough for me but I’d really like to be able to take my gaming to my living room where I have much less risk of punching or breaking anything and have some room to physically move around.• I don’t really like having to be signed in with a Facebook account.I don’t think this is going to change anytime soon if ever though.I’ve played Hotdogs, Horseshoes, and Hand Grenades (H3VR), Blade & Sorcery, Pavlov, and Legendary Tales with my headset. I’ve played around 76 hours since I got it and aside from the headaches problem (which I’ve solved recently) it’s been absolutely amazing and immersive. I’ve also used it to watch youtube, streaming shows, and movies. I absolutely love the thing for every use I’ve had for it so far. It’s an absolute blast to experience actually fighting an opponent yourself whether it be that sniper in his tower or a bunch of knights. Just through the games themselves there’s an amazing amount of stuff to experience but adding mods makes it even better. This headset can get your foot in the door to worlds you’ve always wanted to see in person at a pretty cheap price compared to it’s competitors. Past video game levels, fantasy settings, all sorts of places to see and things to do.An aspect you might have been thinking about is this is a great fitness tool even without dedicated fitness apps. Before you realize it you’ll be sweaty and tired from swinging your arms, moving around, and holding your arms in front of you for surprisingly long periods of time. Pretty much anything you do with your VR will involve some level of activity and the gaming will almost certainly help kick your butt into shape. You should still visit the gym and make sure you’re eating right though.I have only done gaming through PCVR and SteamVR. I have not tried any of the games for the headset on it’s own nor do I expect to anytime soon. If you’re looking for info on them then sorry but I can’t help you with that.There’s several improvements I’d love to see either through future patches or future products. Probably the easiest would be the ability to verify and repair to latest patch the headset software from settings (if it’s there I haven’t found it). That way if my air link problem is software based I could fix it easily without having to do something like factory resetting the thing. If not then that’s one more troubleshooting step I can cross off on my own fairly easily. In the next model or with an accessory if it’s possible one thing I’d like is a second dedicated charge port allowing the use of a link cable and a charger with more oomph than a PC’s USB 3 port would typically have for longer play times both at the same time. Another thing I’d like is a fabric cover. While the silicone cover is nice and stops the foam from irritating my face I’d love to have an official machine washable fabric facial interface cover that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

    It’s really cool

    Just received it so don’t know about quality but so far my big kid hubby loves it 🤣. Does take someone with prior knowledge like my son to help you learn it though lol.

    Grandchildren Friendly

    I got these for my grandchildren at an EXCELLENT PRICE. I keep them here so that I can monitor them and the time that they use them. The only downside is that the charge doesn’t last very long.

    Battery life

    I am 52 years old a bit old for this set but does have its advantages for one it has work out apps that are awesome so if you rather stay home to work out then this VR is for you. It has great music to work out to and trainers you can work with. The only problem is the battery life . First time I used it I made sure to charge it all the way and It died on me after only an hour n half of play . I don’t see where there isn’t a battery life showing while your playing. I’m sure there may be a way to get on the screen so you can see where your battery life is at like on your phone or computer. Maybe someone can tell me how to do that lol ……..

    It’s great

    I love it I just haven’t really found out how to navigate through it yet maybe I’m just a little slow on the virtual reality I bought it for my son he hasn’t figured it out either but we’re getting there we’re actually getting there

    Fun but expensive

    Little to no free games.. all the games are expensive $15-20 minimum. Also doesn’t hold a charge very well. So you will need a battery extender, other. Then that it’s fun !

    What a gem!

    Bought this for my wife, for Christmas and she uses it to relax before going to sleep. I have one myself and I enjoy the games I’ve loaded on it. My boys can’t keep their hands off it – they use it more than I do.

    Kid loves it!

    I don’t what else to say except my 12 year old hasn’t stopped playing it. The interactive VR is much better than him sitting playing video games bc he’s actually moving. The day we got it he was so sweaty from non stop playing and I loved it bc he was moving around instead of being sedentary for hours. 10/10 recommend

    If your getting ur first vr read this

    If you don’t know the quest 2 came out about two years ago and is a very basic headset. The battery only lasts two hours but theirs a headset with a battery for it and if you do have a pc you can buy games from steam and use steam link. Now the downsides are the fps in games that have lots of particles, people, effects, and anything that’s too advanced will make this thing lay it’s ass off. Now you can go up to 120 fps but fps doesn’t matter when the thing can only go up to this on basic games. The meta quest three is a lot better then this but if you have the money get a valve

    Good mid-range headset for anybody looking to get into VR

    Good mid-range headset for anybody looking to get into VR without spending $300+. It Generally, I’d recommend staying clear off the Oculus store because they ask you for SSN or equivalent for your country. Steamlink works pretty well, though I’m kinda bummed that they removed ethernet support for the headset, as I had planned to use it to increase transfer speeds between my PC and my headset. Oh well, you win some, you lose some

    Good for playing with da boiz.

    Pros:1. Good for playing with the boys.2. You can play games on it.3. You can eat chili while operating it.Cons:1. FOV is a little small but not super noticeable.2. You need an account. How many times has facebook/meta had data breaches? (At least 3)3. The rubber outside will give you a red mark from where you used it.(or Vr face as my family calls it. Solution is to use the fabric underneath.)4. Will not watch Netflix with you.

    Battery life is terrible!

    I’m new to the VR world. Decided to get this for exercise. So far I’m loving it BUT the battery is terrible. I thought maybe it was in my head so I timed it. 100% down to 6% in 1 hour 45 minutes. I guess I’ll be getting one of those 16fr cords. That’s my only real complaint so I knocked off 1 star.

    Fun for everyone

    I’m surprised how much I enjoy this product. My roommate has the exact model and uses it for exercise so that was my 1st intention. I purchased a couple apps that are very low key, with the intention to ride my stationary bike while viewing and that worked very well. Next I added a couple more interactive apps and mostly still rode my bike while using it. Only 1 app disappointed me. Instead of enhancing the exercise experience, which I bought an external sensor which could track my speed and mileage for the bike, it offered a very low end visual cartoon-looking display.Anyway, great product that offers many choices for whatever anyone’s purpose it.

    Amazing

    I am so happy with everything about this vr! I got it so I would get some exercise, I play this at least 2 hours a day and have lost 3 lbs. In my first week!! Battery life leaves little to be desired but, there are ways around that!

    Best choice

    Buying this version was definitely the best choice, rather than spending more on the newer Oculus Quest 3. Havent tried the newer one but this one works perfectly fine, with everything you need.

    Great entry level VR game for younger players.

    Young kids figure this out relatively quickly ( 7, 9, 12) and seem to enjoy playing. Taking turns is the hardest part – LOL. We are already looking at adding new games.
