Customer Ratings & Reviews

First time I put this on it blew my mind. It is so hard to believe you can get this kind of view from something only priced at $100. Well worth the price and can only see it getting more fun as more things come out for it

It's really cool but your phone will overheat within 15-20 minutes of use.

Comfortable to wear, easy to adjust, easy to install. I really love that it can play anything tv shows or movie into your phone and watch it on the Gear VR. The screen inside make it feel like you're in a movie theater.

If you have experienced VR don't wait. Samsung VR works with several Samsung phone models. Easy to set up and operate. Lots of fun! Free and paid content available. Controls on side of device for start, stop, select. General focus dial on top of devices. Small crack in phone screen was not visible while viewing VR. Only improvement could be a higher level of fine focus.

I got these for free as a promotional deal with the s7 edge phone. I like them but for what they do but I wouldn't purchase them. They do feel very real however they are very heavy when you add the phone to it and the straps can hurt your ears. They need more games and the games they have need a controller. You can play with the side buttons but I'd rather have the controller.

Pretty cool to use. S7 heats up after 30 min of use. VR games are great!

I got this for myself, but, the kids love it and both of them want to use it and stand by each other and cannot wait for their turn to yse the VR system.

This makes watching YouTube a little more cooler, besides looking like a zombie in a room full of people. I can't wait for more content to be available.

Love the ability to play games and easy to use touch pad. Great way to experience virtual reality and explore new places.

I received this as part of a deal (upgrade to a new phone, get the VR for free). Its easy to set-up and use. There isnt a lot of apps available yet... and you can't use it for long (the phone needs to cool down). Also, you have to use the phone without any case on... so its been a pain to take my Otterbox on and off my phone... which is probably why i haven't use this as much

Watching movies is awesome and it's really great technology. Not something you should or would use everyday, but it's priced great and really is fun.

the only thing I'd make better would be the eye-wear part; if the goggle-part were actually bigger the virtual experience would have been much better.

I am really enjoying this product. It is pretty cool to watch movies inside the VR room. Really makes your feel like you are in the movie. I wish the product was a little less bulky. It is difficult to travel with something this bulky. It would be great to use on long international flights. If they can make this product smaller it will be an excellent product.

I saw this in a commercial for Samsung products and just had to have it. I have not been disappointed. I have shown it to EVERYONE I know and now they want it too! I feel like an unpaid Samsung rep and proud of it.

It is a neat idea with lots of room for growth! I enjoy watchin Netflix and short VR videos. If you want a better experience buy a wireless controller like a Steelseries Free. It allows you control over the Samsung browser and various sertings. I will try games soon. My only gripe is sfter wearing it on your face for a while you feel it and I wish it was HD!!

It's really nice in terms of price and accessibility. The main problem I have is how quickly it fogs up which makes it useless. I tried anti-fog spray but it didn't work. When i tried this on my s6 it overheated constantly, which also made it impossible to use. The s7 works much better with it though.

This is one of the coolest devices I have ever owned. The virtual reality is very well done and is a total immersion in to the app you are using. Theread are only two drawbacks to this, one there are a lot of the apps and games cost quite a bit of money and there are limited amount of free ones. The other is after awhile of play it starts to hurt your eyes a little.

I enjoyed my time with the Gear VR but i decided that it wasn't for me. I have pretty poor eyesight, so it was tough to get a proper focus without my glasses. While it would fit over my glasses, it would easily fog them up so that wasn't really the best option. It may have worked better if i was using contacts, but that was a bit more trouble then it was worth.

Not bad for the price! It's a bit tough to focus completely, but not bad considering it's using a cell phone as a screen. Very much worth the $99.

I received this free with the pre purchase of my Samsung Galaxy S7. I must say I was skeptical of a good VR experience coming from a phone. I was wrong. This device makes you truly feel immersed into the experience. This device is my first experience with VR and I truly loved it! Powered by oculus, I may consider purchasing the Oculus Rift. If you don't want to purchase a higher end VR this would be the device to purchase, granted you already own a Samsung Flagship device.
