Headsets, headets.

[Mama Looigi]

I personally own the Oculus Rift CV1 in late 2017~, and the Oculus Quest 2 in 2020.
Why do I only own Oculus headsets? Well fun fact: Oculus was an amazing innocent company before the Facebook acquisition

What headset(s) do you have? When did you get them? If you have multiple, which is your preferred one?

I've tried the Occulus and the Vive. I've much enjoyed the latter.

Why's that?

 

[SAIYAN48]

I just found that the Vive was a better expirience. It helps when there's no wires holding you back.

I jumped on Vive v1 the second pre-orders opened, so I got that whole setup back in 2017. Then I backed the Pimax 5K early bird on Kickstarter, and once I received that I sold the Vive HMD. So now I'm running with a Pimax 5K + deluxe audio strap from Vive, Index controllers, and Vive base stations. Obviously it was a bit on the pricey side altogether, but I think it's pretty much the best consumer VR setup available, or at least the best one that my PC is capable of powering.

But the Vive did have wires?
Do you remember the specific models by chance?

That is indeed a very great setup. Any interest in fullbody tracking?

No, it's been a while. Not my VR stuff.

Not at the moment, too little support for it among games/apps right now.

I have the Rift CV1. If I had reliable wireless, I think I'd get a Quest 2. I love my CV1 but the wires are starting to drive me crazy!

I only recently got a headset, so I got a Quest 2. It was the cheapest one that I felt comfortable buying. Plus, Oculus brand name recognition lol.

Honestly I feel like it increases immersion so much, that it’s worth it even if you just do VRchat or maybe Skyrim.

My number one suggestion is getting a pulley system. A pulley would hold the wire up and keep it out of reach, really makes a difference, and most likely won’t affect anything else in your space negatively. Just make sure to spin the headset back every time you’re done.

Welcome to the club! :3

I started off with those cheap headsets that use your smartphone, which gave me a bad view on VR as a whole because I never experienced its true potential. After I had tried one of those setups at my mall with actual VR equipment I found it so comfortable and fun that I had to buy one. I saved up and bought a Rift S which was great and I had a lot of fun with it. My computer has the minimum specs for it though so games like VR Chat run like dogshit, but it runs steady for other games. I don't think I'll be buying from Oculus though because of the Facebook acquisition but for right now it's fine.
