    This offers an extremely unique experience, but there isn't a whole lot to do with it. Maybe in a couple years

    Still have a long way to go with this tech. Phone overheats and fogs up screen. Videos are not very clear.

    The Samsung Gear VR is without a doubt a true marvel for our recent VR technology. It is awkward at first until you get used to having your phone on your head lol. But it's really fun and really cool to enjoy!

    It's lightweight not to bad on the strap that goes around your head. Its nice to have privacy to your viewing but don't try and walk while doing so.

    Wasn’t really interested in having one. We got it as a free gift with the purchase of a new phone. Would’ve rather had an extra charger.

    I received this free with the purchase of the Samsung Galaxy 7 edge. It is an amazing product. I love that it does not require battery charging. The VR app from Samsung gives you many free videos to use also.

    I have tried all the VR out there in the market. Pros: cheaper, portable, wireless Cons: graphics is not the greatest, major factor for me is the audio and video is not in sync. It doesn't matter whether you are using bluetooth headset or wired headset. However, i have to say, the experience is amazing. Especially when watching horror movies. I hope that they continue to work on this platform and release improved VR system in the future.

    I didn't think much about getting a VR Headset before I got it but I am extremely glad I did. It's great for watching Netflix of Hulu or playing interactive games. Very good product yet again from Samsung!

    This is like one of the best things invented for a phone in a long time. I love using my Gear VR. I like the games they have and the fact that you can watch Netflix on there. This is a really great device.

    The goggles are amazing and it is a lot of fun to view pictures with, but they are a bit bulky and there is not a lot of stuff to do with them yet.

    Nicely made and fun to play with. Comfortable fit for most everyone. Lots of free stuff out there to look at. Still seems like just a toy though.

    This is by far the best accessory you can get for your phone. Unlocks the other 50% of your phone's capabilities that you haven't seen yet. Don't pass it up.

    We got this during an extended family Christmas party. While I can't say it was the life of the party, I can say all had fun with it. Even grandpa got a virtual ride on a roller coaster ! It works great.
