    This is lighter than the earlier model and has a wider view. It is more comfortable on the face.

    I get why it's going to be the future. This is a great product, no problem setting it up, no problem getting the phone adjusted properly. I don't know all the plans in the future for VR, but i can tell you there needs to be a design that can sit more comfortably on my head for longer periods of time for me to fully embrace it.

    Bought for my children. Great product. Only potential negative is that the unit is paired with the Oculus program. Android only - Samsung.

    The Samsung Gear VR is awesome. The experience of the photo library makes you feel like your in the same place as the people in the pictures.

    Graphics arent that great and makes your phone work at its max so it gets really hot. Fun gadget though and good for conversation starter. Used roughly three times and two of those times where to show other people. Not really worth the $100 for such limited use.

    I can't believe how much more quality the Gear VR for my Note 4 was compared to this one. They really need to go back to that one. It has better straps, fits the face better and black interior. The white interior on the new Gear VR has reflection from the light that comes in from the poor fit on the face. It is still a cool device.

    I got this as a bonus when I purchased my phone in a package deal. I have downloaded a few free features to experiment and let my parents get their kicks from seeing it and laughing at it. Not sure I am ready to commit though. Feel like my phone is going to fall out all the time, but maybe I don't have it mounted properly

    I got the virtual reality set with phone as a freebie. Knowing what I know now I'd have gotten the el-cheapo TV set instead. The lenses are cheap and a bit blurry. The software worked but I quickly got bored. I used it several times and got nauseated. The good news is that it does work with glasses, even my very large ones.
