    This thing is amazing the games are amazing the movies are amazing! I absolutely love this headset and you will too. Just do yourself a favor and grab a bluetooth gamepad because it makes playing games infinitely more enjoyable you can get a xbox one gamepad the new one are bluetooth and connect right up I use that or a MadCatz CTRL gamepad and both work perfectly. Dont pass this up its GREAT!

    This has been a super fun way to play games! It can get a little uncomfortable after awhile on your face, but not too bad. Glad it came with a free game package. The games can be a bit expensive in the Oculos store. Can get glitchy as well. Overall im very satisfied with it amd really glad to have it!

    Was Disappointed

    I tried the Samsung Gear VR out at a Best Buy store and it was really exciting. I had never tried any VR things before. I decided to buy it and was underwhelmed. There was free programs to upload to it, but the free ones are very limited in what they do..they are very short. Once you get through them you don't need to do them again. There are paid ones, but not that cheap. Youtube and Netflix are free to watch on there, but I watched part of a movie on Netflix and it was not all that. I returned mine to the store within the 30 day grace period. When they come out with better free programs or less expensive pay ones that last longer and are better, I will reconsider. Not to say there was not some things that were really cool, but just didn't last long and not many options unless you want to pay a lot.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    So happy I bought the Galaxy S7 Edge! I finally feel like I have the best phone money can buy. The battery last so long that I have failed to try to kill it in full day's use! This phone is just that good!. Great screen, never slow or sluggish, and the fact that it's water resistant really gives it an undeniable X factor. I love this phonemail! First phone I actually feel like I could have in 2+ years!

    Purchased this item with my Note 7 then returned it when I had to turn in my Note 7 as this wasn't compatible with any of my other phones. While I had it though, it was great to use and me and my kids loved it. Watching the Oklahoma/Ohio State football game in VR was an experience I won't forget.
