We purchased the Oculus Rift so that our expert reviewer could thoroughly test and review it. Read on for our full product review.

The Oculus Rift was one of the first full-featured consumer VR solutions, but despite its age, it still stands out among newer competitors. The Rift has six degrees of freedom in its tracking and a solid game library via the Oculus Store and Steam VR. What the Rift has over its competitors is a phenomenal software platform, controllers that seem to morph in your hands, and an irresistible price tag.

Oculus has done a great job of making the Rift light and comfortable. At 1.04 pounds, the Rift headset easily stays where you want it to be during a VR session. To wear the Rift, you adjust three hook-and-loop straps over your head, depending on your proportions. Unfortunately, if you have a larger head, you may find the Rift a bit snug, but it should be comfortable for most people.

The face cushion is made of soft foam that is suitable for glasses wearers. In addition, the headset has a manually adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD) between 58 and 72 mm, which means that 90% of the population should be able to adjust the headset to their eyes.
