    I got this head as an open box item and took the huge savings and applied it to a controller. The headset is comfy and the focus was on par as most I've seen. Great for tinkering around with VR. Gave 4 stars for being in great shape but lacking a controller of any type.

    Got it free with my purchase of the new edge. Probably wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. Honestly I don't use it, but my kids and husband are fascinated by it. It is a cool gadget, and we got to watch the NCAA game on it.

    Samsung VR Gear is really awesome! Other than my only complaint would be that when your wearing the VR Gear it is heavy and pretty annoying to keep on through a movie. Hopefully they can make the next one lighter and smaller

    Got this with my s7, its nice to have a the touch pad on the side and the ability to charge the phone through the unit but it would have been better to just get ride of all the electronics in the head set and just ship it with a good remote control for games. Other than that they have a very small sweet spot otherwise the picture is blury probibly caused by not having the ability to focus the google lenses left or right only front and back. I was also kind of disapointed that I could see the pixels of the phone screen quite easy especially when the googles shifted on my face lossing the sweet spot causing them to become more out of focus. For the money I feel you can get a plasic google carboard and remote with better funtionality but I cant complain getting it for free.

    This is a very innovative and new technology. I'm sure in time it will be very popular, more so than 3D TV. I like the Samsung VR gear headset but I have not compared to other brands. I do know that I love my Galaxy S7 phone I place into the headset. Samsung makes great products.
