The VR is pretty neat tech for something so new. I haven't gotten too far with it as I don't have game pad hooked up, but some of the games look like they would be fun.

Alittle fuzzy. A few cool free apps to choose from. Makes phone pretty hot after 30 min. Would get new one that don't require phone to be inserted. Wasn't available when I got my headset. Still worth the money cuz is so much fun to do.

I really want to like this but there is not a lot of good content yet. If you know someone who has one, I recommend trying it, but I'd hold off on buying one for now.

My husband and I both absolutely LOVE THE Samsung Gear VR! It is so neat and very cool. Everyone who comes over always wants to use them and not to mention our teenagers will not put them down! Great Buy and would buy again!!!

The Gear VR provides an excellent experience at a low cost of entry. I continue to be blown away by what this has to offer, especially considering this runs off of just a phone. I highly recommend this if you have the galaxy S6 or S7!

The Gear VR is a great introduction to virtual reality. Very immersive. Only downside is it drains the phone battery pretty quick and causes it to heat up.

This is pretty neat. But doesn't do much. But it is fun to see how it works though. Fun to play with it. The only problem i had was mine came with a scratch on the lens and best buy won't let me exchange or anything.

Good introduction to VR. This will no doubt be improved greatly as time goes by. But nice perk to be included with phone.

Love it! Lots of great apps and fun. Occasionally locks up but a simple take it out and reset phone in device solves it. Lots of free apps that are always being added.

I enjoy the VR. I have had no issues with it. Its pretty comfortable. It does take time getting used to wearing. I wish the apps weren't so expensive but nothing you can do about it. Everyone who has tried it out enjoys it immensely.

We checked it Out with my wifes new Phone; pretty cool; but as we are older folks don't really have a use for it; maybe a great product for a younger generation

You have to use this to believe it! Crazy cool! Can't begin to tell you in words -- it is an experience! You put your phone in it and strap it to your head and you are totally immersed! Go to Best Buy and try a demo to be awed!

VR and AR are the way of the future. The thing this lacks is anot external controller for a more imersive experience. Worth the price for an introduction to VR.

Bought this with my new S7 and the experience is amazing. As more apps are added to the Oculus Store ( where the VR apps are downloaded from) it will get even better.
