    The VR is great and better than the first version, Wish there was a way to set and save your preferred viewing setting so when sharing you can easily get back to the right view, I'm sure it will be available on future models. But overall, amazing viewing experience for a great price.

    Purchased this for the Note7, which we had to returned, which was disappointing but a great phone and It worked well. Since we had to get a new phone, I'm glad this came with an adapter because it made it easy to work with another phone. The graphics were impressive and you really feel like you in the game. The only thing I could say is I wish it had a longer charging cord.

    It's a great distraction if you are all alone. The movies look and sound great. It's not practical if others are around though because they are all just waiting around for their turn and watching you make a goof of yourself lol.

    Good device, compatible with my note 5 over pretty happy and it is what I expected. However the focus is in and out sometimes and getting my phone in can be a bit annoying at times but over satisfied until the Playstation VR is out.

    Got it for free with my galaxy s7. Its compatible with the s6 but nothing older than that. My only complaint is that I can only use it with samsung products but that isn't important. You can charge your phone while you're using it and it's easily adjustable to fit many phone sizes

    Very entertaining, but product often overheats and stops the experience. Resolution and performance could be better. Also somewhat limited due to lack of motion controllers. All in all, not bad for an entry level vr headset.
