    Got this for my daughter for Christmas. It took some fiddling to get it to work right - but once we figured it out - everyone enjoyed trying it out on Christmas morning.

    I got this free with a phone purchase but I'd never buy it. It was cool but kind of gimmicky.

    It came with the purchase of my Galaxy S7 phone. Is a nice viewer to the phone, but you must purchase most apps to truly enjoy it.

    Samsung has done it again with the VR headset. Virtual reality never seemed so close until using this product. Absolutely amazed by the quality and how user friendly this item is. Headset is affordable and not over weight like some others

    Best thing I ever played with or used! It might take a bit for your eyes to get used to it but omg the scene and games are so nice makes you feel you are not even home anymore like you're in a different dimension. Worth the money I spend for.

    I love this thing. It's not as good as being there, but it's very close. I have to stand up and hold onto the back of a chair so I can stay oriented. Otherwise I find myself walking around the room and banging into the walls. So, use caution.

    This VR came with my phone because of the package through best buy. I've used it once and it is unbelievable. I don't use it often because I don't play games on my phone but watching netflix on it at night when you're trying to be quiet is cool.

    The VR goggles are great for watching movies and playing games. I love the immersive 3D environments. Feels like I'm sitting in an actual movie theater when watching netflix.

    Not only are they lots of fun for yourself. They provide an intense viewing experience. They can be loads of fun watching your family and friends react to the experience.

    My kids like using it. The only thing I'm afraid it will unclip from phone and my phone will fall and break. The only way to enjoy is to download games on your phone.

    I bought it for my husband who loves sports games, no necessarily a gamer. So, he enjoyed it, but doesn’t use it often.

    I can't really rate it right now, it's a gift for son's birthday on the 18th. He did see several demonstrations and loved it, but he has no clue that he has one...#Surprise

    I think this product is much better than the previous model. Having all black interior to decrease light reflection and wider lenses make for much better field of view. Along with backward compatibility make this product a must buy!!!!

    Cool technology... although it hurts eyes when playing with it too long. And those who have sensitivity to motion will definitely feel some motion sickness after a while.

    Wow, this is an amazing item. We allow all visitors to use it, so that they can experience the virtual reality experience from the comfort of home. I'm not into tech items much at all, but this one passes every test. A great invention!

    I think the the Gear VR is great when you are staying in a hotel with a little one and they need to sleep and you are not tired. Great for catching up on Netflix shows.

    Only problem I have is the S7 Edge phone gets really hot and you have to stop using VR.

    I can be a tech-nerd at times, and this is one of those nice to have. I'm very interested in where the VR will go and I already have this item to enjoy the ride with them.
