    Didn't plan on ever using this device but it came free with a pre-order of the Samsung S7. Now I'm glad I have it. Hulu and Netflix are great using this device...the screen is as good as going to a theater.

    This wowed me! I did not know what it was and when I tried it and could see the program at a 360 degrees. Looking down a tall building, yikes!

    cool new concept but needs to be further developed. I would like it to be more stabilized, because when you drive it gets all turned around.

    Although it may not be as advanced as some PC tethered VR headsets out there, for the price it is a very effective and immersive first VR device for Samsung owners who are curious about the technology.

    I got this VR for free after buying a Galaxy S 7 Edge. It is definitely cool to try, but starts hurting your eyes after 20 mins of use.

    This product is a lot of fun. It adds a lot to the gaming experience. There is one drawback--sometimes I feel dizzy if I wear it too long.

    We received Gear VR as a promotional item when we purchased our new phone for my husband but my teenage daughter has taken it. We do get to play games on it which is really different but really fun

    I did not expect these to be so cool... The app offered are great and the 360 content on Samsung internet is also very cool. I is also worth watch people wear them... solid entertainment on of off!
