	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 Oculus Rift VR headset comes with its own built-in headphones. In order to install the new Oculus Earphones, the inbuilt headphones need to be removed. The removal and the installation of the new earphones can be done using a small flathead screwdriver that is made available to every customer as part of the Oculus Rift VR headset package. Rift customers who have misplaced/lost the screwdriver, need not worry. Customers get a flathead screwdriver along with the new earphones. A small coin or regular screwdriver could be used, but to avoid scratches it’s advisable to use the tool that comes with the earphones.

	The installation process shouldn’t take more than a few minutes. Unscrew the old headphones and in its place screw-in the earphones. The design of the earphones clearly indicates which side of the headset, it’s meant to be placed. The earphones are also marked R and L for easy identification. If installed correctly the audio contacts will automatically align.		The installation process shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

	The biggest advantage the Oculus Earphones have over the on-ear headphones is that it’s designed to completely cut off the surrounding sound. The over-the-ear headphones do not completely shut out the outside noise, largely due to its design.

Earphones that, to a large extent, block the outside noise to create a more immersive sound experience. The Oculus Earphones are particularly useful when the Rift virtual reality headset is used in a noise-heavy environment.

Designed exclusively for Oculus Rift VR headset, the in-ear, noise isolating, Oculus Earphones offer impressive immersive experience. The new in-canal earbuds are an alternative to the built-in headphones that are shipped with Oculus Rift. The earphones were launched at the Oculus Connect Developer Conference in 2016 and it’s available for purchase for $49.

On the Oculus Rift VR headphones, the dangling earphones may look less than impressive, but it does its job for which it was designed. The ear buds fit snugly into the ear canal and cut out the outside noise, almost completely. The earphones are loud and clear; the wearer can discern the sounds very clearly.

The Oculus Rift VR headset comes with its own built-in headphones. In order to install the new Oculus Earphones, the inbuilt headphones need to be removed.
