Customers admire the Mobile virtual reality headset, but some have noted issues with the lenses. Several comments point to problems with clarity and ease of use for glasses wearers due to the fixed lens-to-phone distance. The lenses' tendency to fog also received criticism. Improvements in lens quality and adjustability would enhance the user experience.
Well since this was my first and only time using VR headsets, I really don't have nothing to compare these to. All I can say is the packaging is very nice, they fit pretty good once you adjust them, and they accommodated my large 6 1/2" ZTE Warp Elite phone good. The bad: the remote only worked with some games, it felt cheap, and I really didn't end up using it that much. Definitely make sure you charge it first or it won't work. It's also annoying to have the game ready but now you gotta rush to re-adjust and place the headset on your face while the game is starting. Most of the games won't let you pause first. Now here's the worst part, but this doesn't have anything to do with the Headset. Most people will encounter feeling nauseous or headaches when playing some of the VR games. I definitely did, and that's why I ended up returning the headphones for a refund. If it wasn't for that, I would've kept them. Your eyes are in a 3D environment with sometimes 360 rotation (depending on the game/app) but your body is not moving. Since what your eyes are perceiving does not match what your body is feeling, your brain thinks you are poisoned or sick. Therefore, it sends a signal to your stomach to purge the poison, which is why you feel nauseous. It's the same as motion sickness or having alcohol poisoning. Anyways, this was my experience, may not happen to you. But just be mindful of this or google "VR Sickness".

Does the job (just) and is comfortably light, but lenses not good quality and with no vents it gets hot and steamed up very fact indeed.

Seems well put together, good straps and lightweight, but it gets steamy quickly, and the lenses are not that clear, and plasticky. Case is nice, but cost may have been better spent on lenses. Got it on sale, so no complaints.
