Experience the lifelike thrill of virtual reality with the Oculus Rift. The remote, OLED display and IR LED sensor help you navigate through virtual worlds, while rotational and positional tracking let you play exclusive games like Lucky's Tale. The clear, high resolution on the Oculus Rift takes you even closer to reality.

Even better with the new price drop!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I paid full price for the Rift, just a few months back. It's an incredible product, with great tracking, excellent image quality, and is comfortable for moderate periods of use. I modded mine with a holder for prescription lenses, so I no longer have to wear it with my glasses on (which was possible, as long as your glasses aren't too wide across the front. Mine are, which made me feel 'squeezed'). Oculus has really thrown around development money to get AAA titles on the Rift, like Lone Echo, which is great. Nothing gives more immersion in an environment than well done VR. You won't want to go back to your flat monitor again.

Absolutely necessary with Oculus Rift
on August 19, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
The Oculus touch controllers are fabulous. They are comfortable, fit your hand naturally, and track well using the regular Oculus sensors. The package includes a second sensor to make tracking more reliable, and I have had no issues with tracking. This is an absolute must buy if you already have the Rift.

Decent phone head mounted display

Google's Daydream device lets you poke around with VR, without spending a fortune on equipment. The controller is easy to use. I use my Moto Z first edition phone with it, and get good performance and view, though the phone gets very hot, and won't fit in the headset with the external battery mod attached. Overall, this is a fun buy for those curious about VR

Not quite blade close, but close enough

Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this gadget. It gets me 95% as close as a blade shave, without the hassle. Blades last months, not days, and it recharges quickly. My only complaint is that you can't use it while it's plugged in.

Sharp doesn't seem to get the same respect as many of the other manufacturers like Sony or Samsung, but for my money, offers a better value. This TV is phenomenal!
The picture is sharp as can be, with excellent contrast and color depth. Paired with the built in smart apps for Netflix streaming in HD, it offers amazing picture for the money.

Ok, I love this phone
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Mark
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had Motorola phones for 4 years now, starting with the original Moto X, then the 2014 edition. When it came time to replace that one, I went looking around, trying to decide between a Nexus device, or other flagship. I haven't heard good things about Lenovo keeping up with updates since they acquired Moto.
I decided to go ahead with this phone anyway, despite it being bulkier than it seems to need to be. I wondered if the mods would be worthwhile, or just another gimmick.
The phone turns out to be great. It is snappy, responsive, and has plenty of storage space, which can also be augmented with an SD card.
It's a large phone though, larger than it actually needs to be, thanks to the large chin at the bottom where the fingerprint sensor is, which will NOT work as a home button, so this space seems a bit wasted to me. It will be somewhat challenging for the smallest hands.
Luckily, if you should drop it though, the Z Force has a shatterproof screen, which consists of sandwhiched layers of plastic and glass. It can be scratched though, and fairly easily. I have heard that there may be replaceable options coming to take care of that problem though.
Overall, I don't use the mods much, except the JBL speaker mod that came free with the phone at the time, and sounds great, and an external battery pack/wireless charging mod I got later. When paired with the phone battery, this extra 2200mah battery moves your average use before charging time to nearly two days.
Overall, I love the phone, and have been very satisfied. Moto/Lenovo has kept the software to mostly stock Android, with only the helpful additions that made the Moto X phones great.

Gives multi-day battery life to the Moto Z Force
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Mark
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got this battery for use with the Moto Z force. The force has a good sized battery already, but wanted some extra battery time for long weekends where charges may be far between.
The battery serves this purpose well, and even allows wireless charging of the battery separate from the phone, which is nice. I can charge up the battery while using the phone, then just reconnect when necessary.
The only real complaints I have are the weight and reliability. This battery is fairly heavy. It doesn't add a ton of bulk, just makes the phone somewhat thicker, but the phone and battery combo is pretty beefy.
The second complaint is that sometimes it doesn't seem to want to charge wirelessly correctly. It will show charging, but act as if it is continually being moved off the charger then back on. The charging pad I use is large, and has had no trouble charging other wireless devices, but for some reason, no matter how this one is positioned, it can act strange. Overall though, a decent extra battery.

Originally skeptical, but loving it!
on October 21, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was originally skeptical of the usefulness of the Sonos products, but was convinced by a friend to try one out. I really wish I had jumped on this bandwagon before!
The Sonos sounds great, especially for such a small speaker. Build quality is excellent, and the speaker feels very sturdy and heavy.
Downloading the app and connecting the speaker was a breeze, and I was up and running in minutes.
It sounds so good, and is so easy to use, I've now bought another one for use in another room, and we often connect one outside while enjoying time on the deck.
An excellent purchase!

Much better than the Surge
on October 21, 2016
Posted by: Mark
Verified Purchase:Yes
The new Fitbit Blaze is a much better alternative to most previous fitbit devices. I recently had the Fitbit Surge fall apart on me, and chose this as a replacement. I wish this had been out when I bought the Surge, I would have gotten this one instead.
The screen is bright and readable, and having color is nice. It handles notifications from the phone much better than the Surge did. There is still a problem sometimes getting it to update via the app, but that's been true of every Fitbit device I've ever seen or used.
Being able to change bands is nice, and I already purchased a desk charger that does not require me to take the sensor out of the band to charge.
Step counter and heart rate sensor seem somewhat more accurate than previous models, but most trackers provide data that is best used for tracking activity changes over time, and not the exact number of steps you took.

What is the difference between the Moto Z Force Droid and the Moto Z Droid?
The Z Force has a larger battery, which makes it slightly thicker, and a shatterproof screen. Other than that, they are identical.
