Many also appreciate its reasonable price and compatibility with select Samsung phones, finding it fun and entertaining.

    Having the ability to do VR with a phone is pretty amazing. The controls are integrated well with the headset and my brothers and I have a lot of fun playing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes.

    I personally haven't used this VR headset because my wife won't let me touch it. But she hasn't said anything bad about it.

    Cool product. Only two gripes: the phone hears up fairly quickly; the other issue is I'm still waiting for more software that I'm interested in. Other than tgat, it's a great get away.

    I got this for free so I can't complain too much. There's a lot of fun and scary apps you can get for free. One issue that I have noticed with some people is motion sickness. Also, the plastic used feels cheap. When I'm trying to attach my phone, it feels like the anchors might break. Another issue is that at times the goggles fog up. This is not something I would normally buy but I did have fun with it.

    I would give it a perfect dice stars if you could relax your head and not always look straight to view what you want to see.

    I think its pretty neat. The only downside is that its only compatible with Samsung galaxy s6 and s7 models. I got it when i purchased my galaxy s7 so that's not an issue but still.

    My only complaint, like so many other things nowadays, to full appreciate what it can do, accessories need to be purchased
