    This is only about the gear vr not the s7. I couldn't believe how immersive the gear vr was, crystal clear, look in any direction, up down etc and you're in a 360 world. It was so incredible I'm thinking of buying a used s7 with the only purpose of using the gear vr.

    Very unique experience. I actually got nauseous on the roller coaster ride because it's so real. I challenge anybody to try it. My only complaint is the graphics could be a little better.

    i like the comfort, on my face, i do not like how you have to click the sides to get the phone out and have to push it back in it is a bit hard. but over all it is a fun item to play with

    Once set up-this is a very new and interesting technology toy. Wish they had more content on offer. Prices are too high for most of the movies.

    I was thrilled to find this device for this price when it was out of stock in most stores BB stocked it well. I loved watching FB 360 videos on the headset and netflix streaming reached whole different level. will keep for the rest of the samsung line of devices.

    Got two of these in a package deal when I upgraded our two phones to a Galaxy S7. We love the feeling of "Reality" you get. A little heavy after a longer period of wearing it. Cool stuff.

    The view experience in this is excellent and will have fun in using this. But this is compatible only with samsung devices. If you have a S6 / S6 Edge / S7 / S7 Edge then you should have this.

    My wife and daughter each have the Samsung Gear VR and they love it. The gaming experience is like no other as you get the feeling of being IN the game. They also enjoy watching movies and TV shows as well.

    Glad these were free with the phone, not sure I would spend any money for them as they are gimmicky. They have a nice to have and fun, but not much of a use other than that. Novelty wears off.

    I've had a great time playing with the galaxy vr. I wish it had a more crisp video display. Also it lacks a lot of quality apps. The Netflix app is awesome! Fun to mess with for a while.

    I bought this gift for my boyfriend so his birthday. He likes them but doesn't use them much. He's not a gamer so he doesn't have much use for them. I still gave the product 5 stars since it's an awesome device. It's just not the best gift for everyone.

    The device lives up to what is advertised. Solid construction, the clip to the phone was a challenge at first, then it made sense. More software will make this a more enjoyable device.

    Easy to use after learning how it works. Fun beyond comprehension. So real it makes you dizzy. Games and Apps. for various interests, but some can be pricey due to the great detail.

    This is my first VR device. The focus isn't as clear as I thought it would be but it still works great. My only complaint is that I need to remove my phone from its case to put it in the VR.

    My brother has one and when my husband used it, he was truly amazed. I bought it for him for Father's Day and the first day he used it, he would not stop talking and was in his own world.

    The hardware itself is better than anything I could imagine, just don't expect anything like Oculus Rift VR display resolution. I just wish my unit came with the USB type C adapter so I can connect either my Note 7 or S7 Edge and compare the difference.

    I like that you can get a 360 degree view but I honestly have only used this a few times since purchasing. I haven't tried to watch movies on it yet but I think it will be good for that.

    I really like the design of this hardware. It also integrates really well with the s7 edge. The one recommendation I would make is the instructions for a first time user for connecting the two devices and where the buttons were located on the Gear VR
