I bought these for my son at the same time as the Merge Cube. He loves this VR headset. It's super comfortable, lets him where his glasses and adjust the lenses. I like it because it's easy to clean and it's tough (my son has dropped this multiple times).

Super comfy VR Goggles
Rating: 5
I've tried other VR Goggles and did not feel like they were comfortable at all. These ones are made of foam and are way more comfortable. It's easy to slip my iPhone 6S in and out and I found a bunch of fun VR games on their website: www.miniverse.io. Would definitely recommend. Especially for kids trying out VR for the first time!

The quality of these VR glasses is excellent! Great vision and comfortable fit due to the soft case. They are lightweight and do not put excessive strain on your neck. We now own 2 pairs of these. Could not be happier!

Comfy and easy to use.

I got these as a gift and I'm happy I got them. These are really easy to put on myself or my nephew because of the three straps on the back. They're really light too, so even being young, my nephew didn't have any trouble with them.

Good for kids

It's soft so my kids can't break it, or my phone when it's in there. Pretty good apps if you know where to look on their website.

Oculus Go is pretty cool man !
Rating: 5
Awesome .. for the price can't beat it... You can surf the internet , and watch youtube videos... live streams... and 360 videos too... as well as play some games.. watch NETFLIX (that is pretty cool , it puts you on a couch in front of a hearth with TV on it for instance. Bought 2 of them.. one for me.. one for the wife while we're in lockdown April 2020 like the rest of the world is basically. Something for sure cool to have.

I love it and so does my son. Although it don't have the game he wants on it he still gets to play some of the free games it has. But next year I will be getting the oculus Rift

Fun for almost any age and great price

Great fun for almost any age. It is a bit hard for the very young who cant read yet, but other than a simple help here and there its great fun for the price. Much cheaper then the high end models and yet still very capable

Glad I bought mine!

I bought the Oculus Go because I couldn't afford the Quest or Rift, and I haven't been disappointed. After trying mine some of my grandkids also bought their own. Thanks to the "sharing" we can join up on them and play some of the games together and visit certain apps together. One we particularly enjoy together is Wander, and we travel the globe together. I particularly love Angel Falls, Mount Rushmore and Machu Picchu in 3-D/360. Youtube also has some awesome 3-D/360 experiences. The headset does tend to heat up and there is a warning that pops up if it does. To avoid over heating I bought the neck fans (around $20) and the Oculus stays cool during the full battery life, which is about 2 hours of constant use. I realize the VR experience is going to be better yet with the Rift or Quest so I will definitely upgrade as I can afford it, and that's because I'm enjoying the experience so much. Even though it's a bit inferior to the other two I wouldn't hesitate to spend the money on it. However, be sure to get 64 GB rather than 32 GB, you'll need it because you'll just want more, more, more. While you're waiting for yours to arrive be sure to search some reviews and tips which will be so helpful to know ahead of time.

I love the oculus go my boys and I enjoyed virtual reality while being stuck in the house during quarantine perfect birthday gift for myself this year

Ton of fun, but I should of got a Quest.
Rating: 3
Love the technology, but it gets to hot after 2 hours of playtime and asks to turn off to cool down. Apparently, this has been fixed in the Quest. Save up the extra money and get a Quest. The Go is going to be retired soon and the quest is an all-around better device and still a great value at $400 for the 64GB.

Good product, Bad service.

I went in to the store with my grandparents around Christmas time to buy one of these and we were led on to believe that this was the Oculus Quest ( I didn't know what it was called at the time we were in the store so as they described it I believed that this was the system I needed) . I asked the Employee (don't know the name of them) If it could play VR Chat and they told me that yes indeed it could and that it was Brand new! Welp both of those statements where a lie, Though we paid full price for a new one, when I got home to play it (it was an early present) I saw that not only was this an old us military's Oculus but also that I couldn't download VR chat. I thought maybe it was a mistake on my end and that maybe I messed up some how so I spent the next 3 days figuring out how to reset it and I even contacted Oculus support to see if I could Play VR chat, maybe I overlooked something in the settings or needed to buy a pass? NOPE, They told me I had bought the Oculus Go and it does nothing basically compared to the Quest. I am still mad that I my grandparents had to pay full price for a used gaming system that didn't even do what we wanted it to do. After we had contacted them we figured it was too late for a refund as we had thrown our receipt away (Because we thought it would be NEW and could trust WALMART of all places!)
