The materials feel soft to the touch and although it’s hard to guess what it would be like wearing the rift for a few hours, it certainly seems good enough to allow you to go for a long Elite Dangerous trading run without any issue.

The headphones are simply turned from horizontal to vertical over your ears and fit similarly to over the ear headphones without the cups.

Oculus Rift Display – Can I see pixels?

The burning question among many DK1 and DK2 owners is can I see visible pixels?

DK1 and even DK2 had very noticeable pixels which meant on many games it was distracting and made text very difficult to read. On games such as Assetto Corsa, it was hard to see the upcoming corner.

The Oculus Rift consumer version we know features a dual display 2160×1200 at 90Hz and it almost removes visible pixels but not entirely. Is it bad? Absolutely not. Could it be better? Certainly. Is it good enough? Absolutely!

The Oculus Rift consumer version still leaves a gap at the bottom of the rift so this lets you easily squint to see your controller but also lets in light. In reality (play on word here) you would want to play certain games in a dark room such as Elite Dangerous and Eve: Valkyrie.

Oculus Rift Sound Quality

After playing the three games I have a pretty good idea what these headphones can do.

Before I delve into sound quality remember it is very subjective. My opinion is from the point of view of an owner of six different headphones each costing about $300-$400. It is safe to say I’m a bit of a headphone geek.

The Oculus headphones provide decent sound quality and reasonable bass but certainly don’t come close to your own dedicated headphone. Your own headphones will be able to provide much deeper bass and wider range of sound to really feel that dinosaur stomping on your head!

Oculus have considered this so you can simply use your own and leave the built-in headphones in the up position. Although I didn't try it, they are apparently also removable.

Cabling

There is one cable that comes out the back of the device most likely a combo power/HDMI cable. I was unable to see if it was split into USB/HDMI on the other end which it most likely does.
