Should I invest in an Oculus VR headset, or a generic unbranded one?

Should I invest in an Oculus VR headset or not? This question has been bugging me for a while as I am really interested in buying a VR headset. However I do not intend to spend much. I was trying to do some research and there are actually several unbranded headsets on the market and they are available quite cheaply, even at some $30. However I am not sure if it is worthwhile, or if it is better to invest in one of the most well known brands such as Oculus Rift? Anyone has any experience with such a headset please? I would appreciate your feedback.

I bought one of those 5 bucks cardboard VR type glasses. Just to see what the fuss is all about. Indeed pretty amazing having that on your mobile phone. I also tried the real deal, even more amazing.

But I'm still waiting for that one product that will change everything. Like the iphone was for smartphones. I don't think VR is there yet, so I'm going to wait a while. I bet in a couple of years they'll come up with better and cheaper technologies

i think you are on to some thing cristian , it is true with every new device that comes out no matter what developer or manufacturer is behind it, that device is soon to be followed by a generation of up grades depending on the success of the device , his best bet might be to wait and see if something more better really does come out , by then the decision to buy and what his options could be will most likely sort itself out in the long he wont even have to think the choice will already be made for him

Yes reviews are just great and it is probably one of the main reasons why I am so unsure as to whether they can even be compared with each other. But there is such a big difference in the price!

Also I agree that VR is still at the beginning. In the next few years there are surely going to be various improvements and advancements.

Yes I feel it is quite expensive to be honest. It does provide a unique experience, but considering that there are so many other cheaper possibilities I am inclined to opt for one of them. The main thing that is bothering me is whether they will be a kind that breaks down after a while, or be slow or something. There is no denying that sometimes you try to save money by opting for a cheaper product, and then after a while you end up buying a proper one, and so you could have spent more than you would have originally.
