    I mostly use it for netflix, vids. That being said, for a single person, its a big screen with surround sound, for 3000 dollars less.

    I've tried almost every single off brand VR and they all pale in comparison to this one. The content on this is a lot better than most of the things you will find on the Google and App stores.

    Tried it on in store and was satisfied with the quality. Haven't fully tested as I'm waiting for Christmas but looked nice in demo.

    My VR Gear is great fun, but it does get hot very quickly. I must sit next to a fan to enjoy.

    Loads of fun. Watch out for the extra phone charges. You have to remove any protective phone case for it to fit in the Gear VR.

    Feels like you are really there. Can't get better, however, the fitting on the face could use some work. Feels like a scuba mask.

    Virtual Reality! What can you say. Everyone who puts these on is amazed. I watch a lot of Netflix movies with these. The apps keep getting better. If already have a phone that will work buy this!

    This came with my phone as a bundle. It's a pretty neat device but I wouldn't buy it outright. I don't have that many uses for it

    The device itself works flawlessly, provided you set the focus properly and get clear enough media to view. However, with the technology still being on the new side, there's not a lot the average user can do with it, unless they're invested in the technology, or they're willing to shell out money to get premium content. If you think you might enjoy this, then you probably will, but if you don't, then you probably won't.

    I've never use any other type of goggles and I never will. These work perfect with my S7. I use prescription glasses and the focus on the goggles works soo good I don't use my glasses with these!!

    Beautiful scenery, fast action, peace and quiet, excitement, rollercoaster rides, sailing on the seas, and flying high above the trees, are just some of the things you can do with the gear vr.

    Samsung Galaxy Edge 7 gets warm while using. Samsung need to work on resolving this issue.
