I'm not sure I'd pay $100 for one of these if I was considering getting into VR but as a free peripheral this thing is just so cool! Watching VR content and viewing 360 photos feels as if you're standing right there in the shot! My own home movies give me the effect that I'm sitting in my own personal movie theatre. If you have $100 to throw away I guess I'd recommend it unless you're dead set on getting something more high end

It's decent quality but if it hadn't been given to me for free with my S7 edge I wouldn't buy it for the $200 estimated value. I don't like that I'm limited to just what Samsung allows. Too limited when it comes to the free videos, games, images, etc..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Me and my sons have used 3 different store bought vr headsets that fit most phones.you use them for a little on YouTube and get kinda dissapointed and move on.but this Samsung vr being part of oculus and connects to your phone making it all synced together makes this miles ahead of the store bought vr headsets.once you start using it and learn how to navigate,its hard to put down.you won't regret the money spent .
