    This is a good cheap entry point to VR. It is easy to use and the video quality is good.

    This device is new and exciting by taking you out of your surroundings and placing you in other surrounding without ever leaving where you at.

    The technology in this via your phone is awesome! It might cause blurry vision for awhile since it is so close to your face but it's worth it!

    I purchased this to use as I have NBA League Pass and to watch games on the NBA VR app. It's amazing to see, you are Courtside watching the game. Also, the Netflix app is pretty amazing as well. As soon as they offer more apps, it will be even better to use.

    So many cool features, but really 99% of the use is to watch Netflix while laying down.

    But.. where's the content?

    Fit is good. Phone (Galaxy s7) turns 4,000° after moderate use (less than 1 hour) if you own a Samsung phone, you have a select few bluetooth remotes you can (actually for 90% of content you MUST purchase) purchase that are over priced and clunky. (Don't waste your time pairing a ps3 or ps4 controller, theyre not compatible) Received for free with upgrade and I still feel like I paid too much. People put so much into the Oculus and this is just a huge let down. The graphics look like they belong in a Playstation 2 game. Three stars because the headset is comfortable and does what it says.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    My wife and i both got 1 of these when we upgraded our phones, did not know what to expect until we plugged our phones in and took it for a test spin...since then, we will randomly put it on to play games. Its a great little toy that takes you into another dimension. At first i thought it would be a little gimmicky, then we tried it and was really impressed.

    Great VR Headset

    This headset took awhile to get use to but after a few uses it has become easy. There is a lot of free content so that I don't have to purchase anything. I will say it is difficult if you have a screen protector or case on the phone to insert it to the headset.

    great VR, really gives a different perspective. I wouldnt recommend it for people that has serious case of motion sickness as it can create that especially if you try apps like the roller coaster. very cool concept, i will be trying to find games for it

    Lots of fun seeing the potential of VR with this very cool new toy. Needs your full attention to enjoy and it is easy to lose time with the headset and block everything else out. Best when paired with a good set of headphones. I am especially enjoying the movies.

    If you have a newer galaxy smart phone than this is a fantastic accessory. The gear VR is very immersive and makes you feel as if you are there. There are however two negatives. Limited quality apps and for prolonged use it can become a bit uncomfortable to wear.
