    Got this with my Galaxy S7. A lot of fun to experience. Personally I can't wear it for too long (15-20 minutes tops) without it getting uncomfortable. This isn't really too much of a drawback since you really shouldn't wear them too long anyway. The only other drawback is the phone does get pretty hot after using it for too long.

    I wear glasses, if you do as well, I'd recommend you to stay away from this device. Most of my friends were able to see through the lenses without any problems, but the lack of services and the fact that you need to buy a controller puts the total price pretty high up.
