The earphone’s biggest advantage is also its biggest drawback. Wearing the Oculus Rift VR headset the user is visually cut off from the surrounding environment. Earlier, the wearer relied on sound to understand what is happening in the surrounding. The loud and clear sound from the Oculus Rift Earphones completely immerses the wearer into the virtual world. He/she will no longer be aware of the surrounding events, which is, sometimes, not the best thing to happen. Moreover, the user won’t be able to share the Oculus Rift Earphones with others. The earphones are a personal item. It sits in the ear canal, which is home to bacteria and ear wax.
