    This is a very interesting and fun product, with lots of potential for even more in the future. As the TV ads show, it's almost as fun to watch others use it as it is to use it yourself. But if you're on the fence about getting one, just do it!

    As long as you have a great pair of headphones, and space, it's a good buy. I was disappointed in the lack of motion sensor (ie if I've forward, I move forward in the VR) and the fact that most of the games running on the native store require a gamepad

    Sweaty and seems to overheat very quickly. Maybe a micro fan or two would help. Focus should cover a little more range. Enjoyed the experience, and almost forgot that I was at home on my couch!

    This is a cool gadget. The VR games are fun to play using this headset with my Galaxy 7 phone. Some light does enter through the sides of the head set and can show as a reflection when using the Galaxy Gear. The VR quality can use some improvement.
