Oculus Rift DK2 VR Headset Review

A Close Look Continued


The headset is quite a large, but certainly looks a lot more refined that the original DK1 headset.

Around the back you’ll find a lot of padding and an adjustable headband. There’s more protective plastic material inside the headset and more protective film over the pre-installed lenses.

The headset comes pre-wired with the HDMI cable and USB cable for connecting to your computer. There is a splitter box on the HDMI section with a small jack plug socket; there is a sync cable included in the box to connect this box to the camera unit.

The padding around the headset is quite thick and soft; given that it’s going to be pressed up against your face, it needs to be.

There are four vents like this; two on the top and two on the bottom, most likely to let out any excess heat from the built-in display.

There are two gears, one on each side of the headset. You can use a coin to adjust these, allowing you to move the lens and screen forward and backwards; this is very important for those who need to wear glasses while wearing the headset.

The top of the headset features a pass through cut-out for the HDMI and USB cables, which can be removed, but the connections are hidden under a cover to keep things looking neat and tidy.

There is a small flip cover on the bottom left.

Under the cover you will find a USB port, an LED indicator and a 3.5mm jack; the jack is a little bit of a mystery, but it’s believed to be a redundant camera sync connection.

On the top right corner you’ll find a power indicator LED and the master power button.

The elasticated headband is fully adjustable; there’s a slider on the left and right side, while the top section is velcro.

As a child in my 40's, I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
