    Great idea and fun to use, but needs a little getting use to during first usage. Clarity is great but thats if your phone screen isnt dirty.

    This Gear VR is a great add-on for the S7 or S7 Edge phone. The 3-D/4-D picture quality is awesome! Makes you feel like you're right there.

    This is a nice headset. It is easy to lose track of time while using it. Kind of makes your eyes hurt after about a half hour though.

    This is the coolest gadget I've ever owned. It came with my phone, but I would have bought it separately if it had not. It's mind blowing.
