I am certainly seeing very mixed reviews on some gaming forums I frequent, everything from how awesome it is to how trash it is and in between.

Finally got a headset in this afternoon so here's my initial impressions after a couple of hours of use.Installation - A breeze after identifying a technical issue. Plugged it in, windows automatically detected it and it installed the software. Went to SteamVR and installed Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR and launched it from steam and I'm in steamVR. Pretty simple. From there it's just normal SteamVR supersampling settings. I haven't tried Re-Vive yet as I'll need more time to figure that out. The Tech issue I had was a loud static sound. Turned out that my active USB cable extension doesn't have enough power across it for this headset. I had to plug it directly to my PC which has made my play space pretty dang small as the cable is short. I'll have to get a powered extension cable to try.Software - It's definitely clunkier than the Rift or PSVR but it works good enough. I haven't exactly figured out what all I can do in the cliff house yet but I was able to navigate and launch games with no problem.Visuals - Oh yea, this is the highlight. It looks really good. There's hardly any SDE except on white background as others have said and it's a tiny near invisible pattern. The blurring I was worried about is so subtle that you don't even notice it unless you are REALLY looking for it. Nothing looks soft to me in the headset unless I'm nitpicking, pleasantly surprised. I'm running 140% supersample with a GTX 1080 to start, I will lower and raise as I have more time to experiment and see what the effects are. I can definitely see text and small things farther than I can in the rift but it's not a big difference. What is a big difference though is everything else looking very crisp and nice. It's absolutely worth the tradeoff of some small object blur. Watching movies looks so good.Fit - I'm stunned to report that this thing fits me great and is actually more comfortable for me than the rift with only a little bit of light bleed on the far sides. I actually have no complaints and don't even need to do a velcro mod to it. I can definitely see though how people with a smaller face will have issues but happy it's not me! lolTracking - It's sufficient but obviously inferior to Rift. There's some judder here and there and as mentioned you can't raise them over your head to good effect but I was able to play shooters no problem and also threw some td passes in 2MD football with no issues. I don't see it working in Beat saber on the tougher expert or expert+ tracks though. I prefer it to PSVR tracking. The controllers are kinda weird and blocky. Far Far inferior to Oculus Touch but they work.All in all I'm happy it only cost me 300 bucks and will definitely be using this thing a lot for awhile. I'll report back if opinion changes.

Thank you for the great (mini/intro-)review, I did have the opportunity to get one for $360 + shipping + VAT the other day but passed. I do have a large head too - maybe it'll fit just fine (I did read mixed opinions about wearing glasses - seems to work great for some). If you play games like especially Doom VFR and/or Fallout 4 I'd be very interested to hear about your experience - movies and Doom VFR would be my primary reasons for getting an Odyssey+.
I only play when it's dark, so light bleed shouldn't be a problem - and it seems the controllers work fine in a semi-dark room.
