    I received the VR for my birthday. Since then many family members have enjoyed it as much as I have. It's addictive. I plan on adding the game controls so I can play more games.

    I love these things. It took me awhile to get the right fit but once i adjusted the nose pad i was ready to go! The resolution isn't quite there yet but it's still a wild ride

    I purchased a VR headset that looks similar but doesn't need the phone to connect ... wasn't impressed. The Samsung VR is an entirely different story. The VR and 3D are amazing!

    This vr headset is insane especially for people who haven't ever used one before. I myself had never put one on til I received mine and I have to say it was an amazing experience.

    Relatively easy to set up and use. Takes some time to figure your way around but worth the effort once you get it.

    Most VR goggles had problems of alignment. Things sloped to the left. Or the center was not in the center of the view. They were hard to adjust. These had all the problems knocked out. Everything was perfect. Only problem is lack of available content. Most of what is offered for this mode is meant for gamers. LOTS of games. But look for roller coaster, helicopter, or anything exciting, just to experience, not to "do" anything. I hope this changes, and it would be 5 star
