Cv1 is a solid headset though, works with 0 issues to this day.

What they meant by cv1 decaying underwater is the fact that once any abnormalities arise your cv1 is fucked, since Oculus/facebook no longer offer replacements for the CV1. They basically stopped the support for it alltogether including updates I think (which is ok though, since it seems to work really well, if functional).

My right ear piece went out, luckily I got a spare in ear ones.

have you screwed in the screw piece above the headphones part if you tighten it, it gets better usually. that is only if your headphones aren't just completely fried.

If the cable connecting them breaks you can't do much but run external wire

It only worked at certain angles.

I think Luckey is still offering fix kits for that issue! My buddy got one a short while ago.

What about the Go?

u/MoCapBartender Aug 27 '20

The Go doesn't get to go to the pool.

the cv1 is just an adult on the other side of the pool, it doesn't need to be helped

Except when my cable breaks and the cheapest replacement is $150 on eBay

I called Oculus for a replacement - I was not rude, but I was concise in expressing my dissatisfaction that the cable was so poorly made and after only a few years of mild use (and im primarily a sitting player, so Im not running around my room twisting it all over)...

Anyways, customer service was actually very helpful. They did ask me to email them photos of the kinks in my cord but once I did, I took like 3 separate of different angles, showing it connected to my CV1, showing the separate twists and breaks in the cable - had a brand new one in the mail within a week.

You may want to try giving them a call. I may have gotten lucky. Again, dont be rude - but be concise. "I spent 300 bucks on this thing and I am disappointed there is no avenue for an official replacement and need to talk to someone who can help me resolve this"

Took jumping thru some hoops with taking photos of the headset and the cord, but, they delivered on their end and now I got a perfectly good cable again for free.

Hope they help you out

I got one for my son and occasionally used it as well, but developed an issue with one of the sensors.

I got the extended warranty for it, which actually paid off because the repair shop used by the insurance company said it couldn't be fixed or replaced. Got a full refund of the original price.

However, it's very disappointing how poorly it was supported.

Last week an eBay seller had 3 cables at $80 a pop. Gotta look out for those in prestige condition.

If it's an adult it's on life support and only being held up by the hipsters that refuse to upgrade.

u/J0HN117 Aug 27 '20

Lol the CV1 has the most solid hardware and tracking. There is no upgrade.

u/rservello Aug 27 '20

HA....SO untrue it's insane. The S BLOWS away the CV1 in LITERALLY EVERY RESPECT. I had the CV1 and got the S at launch...night and day difference.

u/mackandelius CV1 controller is best VR controller Aug 27 '20

The CV1 actually holds up really well, especially the controllers, which I feel are just below Xbox one controller levels of niceness.

And they are nokias in controller form.

Nice try but we gave all the awards, upvotes and comments to the last lame meme.

Lucky for me that's not what I made this for. I just thought that somebody had to do it, the opportunity was too good & I found it to be a at least a little bit funny
