    After purchasing a Note 7, I bought the samsung VR to go along with the phone. I only used it a few times before my phone was recalled so I can't really go into detail on the overall software of this product. For the few times that I did use it, it was great.

    I received the Gear VR with my cell phone purchase and it pairs well with the phone. The setup and pairing was very easy to do and the content viewing is very good. My grandchildren really enjoyed the program content in the VR. Overall it's a great product

    I am not much of a gamer so it was fun showing what it could do to my friends and family but the novelty wore off quickly for me. Since it was a bonus item that came with the phone purchase its hard to complain but I would have never wasted my money on it.

    I love this head set..number only grievance is that my phone sometimes does not lock fully into the unit. On one then one occasion my galaxy note 5 either sprung loose or more then once launched out of it to the floor. I'm just glad my living roomy is carpeted.

    I didn't want to spend a lot of money and want to try VR experiences. A bit disappointed using S6. The phone warms up pretty quick and I did not plug in the charger so drain battery of the phone very fast.
