    This headset gives a good idea of what the world of virtual reality is headed toward. This is a fairly priced set, with more than enough selections to watch. Some video's are better than others, but there are some really good ones on the Oculus App

    Purchased this as accessory with my S6. It is alot of fun and every day more apps and experiences are being released. People who have never hears of VR consumer headsets really are shocked. 4/5 only due to overheating issues sometimes after prolonged use.

    wow, a lot of fun, and its only getting better, kind of gets you dizzy after a while, and seems to really heat your phone up, but this is something to check out to see where the future is really going. this VR is better than the rest out there.

    Other than the overheating by the phone, this is a great 360 VR system. I take it everywhere (Good for a free drink, here or there!)

    Definitely a mental challenge which forces you to think to experience everything all around. Some of the games and videos are exceptionally entertaining. Downsides: battery draining, and causes phone to get exceptionally hot. Also, audio needs work.

    Fun Toy, Limited Use

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this headset as part of a package deal with my Samsung phone. I have enjoyed a few of the apps, like the Jurassic Park experience and the 360 Degree Photos. However, there are a limited number of apps available. A lot of them are really just short videos in 360, which then end up clogging my account. I might consider buying a controller and really investing as more content becomes available. On another note, the VR headset quickly causes my phone to get very hot and shuts itself down. I would not consider using this for extended periods of time.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Part of the Galaxy S7 bundle so you can't complain when you get something free. Though it is dependent on the phone you use the lenses get dust and smudge easily. Fogs up on occasion which disrupts the experience. Also, not sure what the best phone to use would be. I used the 6 edge and it overheats quickly.
