    When on a plane, the VR comes in handy! No bending your neck or holding on to a device. You just sit back and enjoy the movie! Also, enjoy all the extra cool games and apps! Great buy!!

    Bought this for my husband, he really enjoys this. He shows it off at times but it's a fun extra and I'm happy he likes it!

    The headset works and is sturdily built. One negative is you look like a fool with it on your face but alas it is the future.

    My kids love this thing. It's is great for them but I get motion sickness very easy and so it makes me nauseous. They have a blast with it and wants to play with it all the time.

    It works well but you have to take your phone out of any case you may use and if you wear glasses it is not as comfortable.

    This product was new to me. After trying the product and figuring how VR works I've come to love the idea. It's a lot of fun.

    Took a bit of work to get set up, but it was worth it. Only have three apps loaded so far, but it's fairly impressive.

    I love everything about it. The photo gallery and being able to go online and watch YouTube or anything that requires internet, is the best experience. I would easy easily pay $500 it.

    I love this thing. only complaint is when using a s7 you have to use a adapter to charge and play. (Comes with adapter)

    This is one of those things that you really anticipate using and its fun for awhile but gets repetitive after so long.

    Samsung gear are awesome! These have been a hit in our home. Great picture, you truly feel like you are in the game or show. The App Store has many options for games and movies.

    I got mine with the purchase of the s7. My brother bought one of the $15 vr headsets and this is a huge step up from those ones. Looks almost like a 4k tv in front of your face
