Overall happy with my upgrade from the original Rift.
As of day one I tested a bunch of things on the Rift S, and there are a lot of things I like about the Rift S and some that I don't like. Pros so far: - Display is better looking that the original Rift. - The slight drop in refresh rate hasn't been noticeable at all for me at least. - Out of box face pad is much more comfortable. - Inside out Tracking is great so far. (still need to mess with it more but haven't had any issues. - Throwing items in VR feels much more normal then the original Rfit. (I've noticed that the old method I used of pushing items to throw doesn't often work but a normal throwing motion seems to work great.... I tried this a lot in Super Hot. - (Update 5/24/19) Built in speakers - While not perfect for someone casually playing the built in speakers work well enough to play most games without issue. It sounds like its almost not playing anything for someone outside the headset but for the wearer it perfectly audible. Lacks good base though. Cons: - Ordered a 10ft display port extender and it seems to cause the black display issue that many are reporting. - Removed the extension cable and haven't experienced it again yet - Halo head band is pretty thick and I feel alot of headsets will have a hard time getting around it. (I use a Man O War and it barely made it over the headset) - The weight distribution feels a bit odd but it is a new headset so it might take some adjusting to. (Not sure if this is really a con yet). - Cable length is a bit shorter than I would like for my play space. Overall I think it was worth the purchase and plan to rack up some hours with the new headset. Ordered a 6ft cable to some testing with and hopefully that will work without black screening. Updates to come! :D
