    This is a great entry level VR headset. It has a great deal of apps but it is a little slow sometimes but it is being powered by my phone.

    Combined with my S7 Edge and the increased memory it gave me an excellent first experience with virtual reality. The apps and games were compelling and I can't wait for longer, more in depth apps and games.

    The VR's are a whole new way of viewing things. The only thing I wish was different was I would like to use them laying down for movies.

    I thought Gear VR would not work when I wear glasses, but no worries. it works with glasses. However, it is little bit hard to wear Gear VR.

    It was very easy to use. I love the fact that you can sit in your home and feel like you've just traveled across the world through pictures. It's also fun to play with whrn you're bored and have down time.

    After piddling around with this tool, I've decided that it's just plain fun. I don't play a lot of games on my phone, but I've playing around with it in my spare time, and it's just a blast. Well worth it.

    Had never heard about this until I got my new phone. It's awesome my niece and I love the options only con would be that it drains phone battery fast. Otherwise fun to use and also watch netflex on.

    Bought this to check out the amazing world of Virtual Reality. I gave a Note 4 and didn't want to shell out for the older model that is mechanically compatible. I was surprised how close it was to fitting and wished I didn't have to hack it up. When I was done, it worked fine, but it not the best quality. Still, you can see the potential, but you will really need much higher resolution before it really works well enough
