    This is very easy to setup and use. Very addictive and hard to put down. When the family cant find me, they know i'm playing on this somewhere in the house. We all love it. Got this with the purchase of my galaxy S7 edge.

    bought it and liked it. it's not bad nor is it a ground breaking entertainment machine. true vr is the occulus, you know the 600$ version. but you know not everyone has high end computers. but aside from being good and cool at best, it's a neat and fun device that gives anyone entertainment

    So the only reason I have this is that it came with my new Samsung S7 Edge. It's fun to play with but I doubt I would've gone out and bought it on my own. If you enjoy games it may appeal to you. If not, save your money.

    It's a fun product to use. But don't know if I would have purchased it if I didn't get it for free. It has some interesting experience. But don't use it for an extended period of time. I got dizzy after about 30 minutes.

    The GearVR was my first experience with the modern wearable VR and so far it is great. Many of the oculus aps quality wise depend on the app not on the Gear. Thus far it has been a huge hit with the entire family.

    This gift was suppose to be for my 13 yr old daughter, but we have enjoyed and used it more than she has. It's amazing how you feel like you are under water or in the desert or on the woods. We have pulled the gear off because it makes you feel like you are actually in the scene. We love it

    I got two of these free when I upgraded S7 and S7 Edge, They are fun to play with but I am not sure that I would have paid $100 for them. And yes I am a guy so what do you think the first VR thing I tried was....

    I have not used the Gear VR extensively but so far I am pleased with it. There is alot of room for graphic improvement, but it is fun to use and some of the horror apps are very entertaining (and frightening).

    I really love the VR experience. Amazing free apps to be able to view photos, videos, and more. Only thing I wish this would have is a remote control option other than on the side of your head. While it works it is annoying to have to hold your hand next to your head for navigation.
