Clearly better than original Oculus Rift in most respects

I was amazed at how much the Rift S headset feels like a real step up from the original Rift. Apart from the really poor audio quality (which admittedly allows for better contact with the 'outside world'), many things are better, especially the ergonomics of the headset and the image quality. Even if the effective resolution is only slightly higher, the picture is sharper and clearer, i.e. less godrays, much less screen door effect. For me, it feels like the jump from 720p to 1080p back then - with the same system requirements, as the switch was made from 90Hz to 80Hz, which doesn't strike me as a gamer in a negative way at all: the image seems to be just as fluid as on the original Rift. 

Pro

  • Picture quality (sharpness)
  • No 2-3 sensors, i.e. needs fewer USB ports
  • More ergonomic than original Rift
  • Simple setting
  • 100% compatible with original Rift

Contra

  • Audio quality is significantly weaker; external headphones recommended!
