    Nice Design, but it's no Oculus Rift

    This nice on the go VR headset is a nice edition to go with the Samsung Galaxy S7 phones, but it's only half as great as something like Oculus Rift that taps into real computing power on a desktop or laptop. It's more for casual VR gaming on the go. The headset is comfortable and not as awkward looking as some on the market.

    Bought this for my wife, who has the Galaxy S7. Once I was able to pry it from her head, was amazed at the surroundings I was immersed in. Up, down, behind, all around visuals. effects are stunning. Although I was blown away by the presentation, will not be buying this for myself as I use a Windows 10 phone. Though I have built a pc with the specs to handle VR. The device is well built and feels very solid. It is easy to set up.
