I purchased the Lenovo - Mirage Solo with Daydream Virtual Reality Headset along with the Lenovo Mirage 3d/180 video camera. I read quite a few reviews on VR headsets - but do not have much experience with them. My purpose for 3d/180 video was for view sports events which I record. This combination of Mirage camera and headset does not work for this purpose. Watching the video is okay...but the 3d feeling is not quite there when objects are 25' away or more. Also, the 180 degree viewing does not do much for you. However, the ease of use of the headset was nice. It is comfortable. It stays steady. I wore it for 30+ minutes with no problem - however, I was not jumping and moving. Visually - you can see the pixels but it is not too bad. The visual quality is WAY better than using a cell phone as the screen. Controls - the controller is nice. You can use your thumb to scroll/pan right/left/up/down. User Visual interface - is fine (I don't have anything to compare it to) - using the on screen menus and the controller (pointer) worked fine. Occasionally, I navigate incorrectly because I pressed the wrong thumb button on the controller. The headset supports 6 degrees of freedom. Nice. This headset provides some new features not readily available on earlier non-tethered VR headsets. We'll likely see new, cool features coming soon. Unfortunately, it is a bit pricey right now.

I've got 2 other daydream headsets that require a daydream enabled phone to operate, and was looking forward to this standalone version. But I was pretty disappointed to see that the user experience was horrible. The pointer/BT wand would sporadically jump around the screen even when the remote was held perfectly still. Also, I was surprised that there was no integrated speaker on the headset. Yeah, you either have to plug in headphones or connect Bluetooth speakers to be able to hear anything. I ended up returning the unit, even after getting it for 199.99. Still too much of an ask for what you get.

I'm still getting to know how it works and where the best content is. On the plus side; It's a lot of fun, the display is pretty good, and you don't need to tie up your phone or be tethered to a PC. On the minus side; expensive and as cool as it is you know it will be old technology before long, content is a bit thin. It's heavy, on me at least most of the weight rests on my nose.
