    Good Headset With Flaws

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

    Ah, the Gear VR: the first headset without a disclaimer attached to it. While it has it's flaws, this is a groundbreaking piece of technology that everybody should have, provided they have a phone that works with it. Pros: -Light display and comfortable straps make it good for long sessions -No need for wires -Doesn't drain battery too fast -Seamless head tracking -Plug and play -Price Cons: -Gets hot fast, needs frequent breaks and probably not good for phone -Limited to Oculus approved software -Not many apps yet Overall it's a great venture into the world of VR for a relatively good pricepoint. You won't regret getting one.
