    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 .

    The Samsung VR headset is amazing. The visuals are so real looking that you have to be careful about what you watch and how you are positioned. There are several viewings that can make your stomach to a couple of flips and if you are standing up, you can easily lose your balance. But there are also a lot of showings that are very mild and have no intense sensory inputs at all if that is what you are in the mood for.
