    Once my son opened the package and set it up, he was amazed right off the bat. When he let others try it, they were laughing at how real everything was. Soon, everybody wanted a turn. We spent hours with the device so I'd highly recommend it to anyone!

    This product is fun if you like the type of things it has to offer. I'm not big on vr. My kids have fun with it. It was free with my phone, otherwise I never would have gotten one.

    This item is so amazing in comparison to what is available out there. Yes, you can buy a VR for as low as $20, but I guarantee you that it won't come close to what the Samsung VR will show you your Samsung phone is capable of doing! It's truly amazing!!

    I probably wouldn't pay the $100 for the Gear VR. It's cool, sure...but it gives you a headache, you have to have them on your face just right, still kind of blurry with all adjustments.

    VR is an amazing experience and Samsung VR gives you that comfortably and falls within the budget Pros - Easy to setup Samsung phone above S6 fits in well Can watch Netflix as well :) Cons - Sweaty around eyes after continuous usage

    This tech is stunning and mind blowing. It seems like a gimmick, but dont be fooled, many buisness analysts are forcasting the VR industry will be worth tens of billions of dollars by the year 2020. This is Genesis. At 99$, you cant afford to be left behind.

    The Samsung Gear VR works perfectly with the Note 5 or S7. I've used it with both and it's soooo darn cool! My first experience was a little frustrating, but you'll get the hang of it quickly and enjoy all the amazing VR content that's available now.

    Took us a bit to get it all figured out (with the help of a Geek Squad agent), but it's been gang busters ever since. We've gone everywhere, and seen everything.

    Great item that I would have never bought but got it free with the phone. Still not sure I would have paid $100 for it stand alone but maybe it is worth it. See if you can try out someone else's first to see if you think it would be worth it to you.

    Don't like you have started all over wherever you left off, if you have to take it off your eyes for a minute. It should have timer before it resets or kick you off to beginning.

    The overall device is good and functions well. A little difficult getting the Samsung S7 Edge into it and connected to the port. Can be a little uncomfortable until you get used it.

    I bought this in high hopes that this would be better than the first ones or the second one but it's pretty much what you expected, the picture isn't any better, sure they added a few more apps. but it's the same picture and same exact quality, Samsung just getting smart and getting over those who are buying into the hype by changing the color and the insert port, but you still getting the exact same thing, the virtual reality experience is good but it's not worth the $100 that Samsung been hustling us all out of every year.

    I like to watch mini 3D videos. It's so awesome the picture quality and feels like your really in the movie. There is also games, but I haven't tried it yet. Kids love it too.

    I'll be honest; I didn't think I was going to like this. My husband was very excited to get one; but I wasn't completely sold on it. Boy was I wrong! We use this daily! Actually there is usually a fight over who is going to use it. Ultimate 3D experience!

    Product is good but feels cheap. Also it is kind of blurry, i feel like once the s8 come out with the 4k screen resoultion should improve making the experience a whole lot better

    I bought the original Oculus VR headset and this redesign outshines the original. Fits better to the contours of your face and has a wider viewing angle, making it a better solution. If your phone has the new connection this is the must have headset.
