Odyssey VR vs Oculus Rift

FrejkiChodak · Jan 21, 2019

Ive got a Rift right now and I sometimes switch back to monitor because the screen-door effect and low res in general is not nice. Is the Samsung HMD Odyssey a big step up? I'm reading 1.78x higher res, so that should be good.

How is the Odyssey with playing in DiRT Rally, AC, R3E, etc? Just as easy to setup?

it seems the higher res is not that noticable :/

I got this new cover a few days ago, can definitely recommend to anyone not happy with Odyssey Plus comfort and light leakage.

Just ordered mine last night cant wait.. does anyone have experience with the head strap as well?. The one that goes over the top. Ive read it makes it feel lighter on the head

A head strap is more beneficial than the VR Cover replacement. Highly recommended.

I've just received some VRCover like facial cushions. They are pretty comfy on the Pimax and definitely sort out the nose issue. One thing though, I now need to wear it a little differently to get the sweet spot to line up as it did with the stock cushion. I'm sure it will take a little time to get used to it, but it's a little annoying. I might end up getting the head strap too. I found the standard one pretty comfortable. It might allow me to loosen the straps, however, which would be good as the fit I have now is pretty tight. Especially with the thicker cushions.

Which vrcover did you buy?
