    A great option for the price. Had to return due to motion sickness issues but that's not the fault of the product.

    I got this for free with my new Galaxy S7 Edge and it is awesome. The apps are great, it's better than Google cardboard, and I can't wait to see what new apps are made for it.

    I have tried several Vr goggles. This one is the best as it interacts with the apps and you can control it from the buttons on the side. Way better than VROne plus etc.

    I never really tested any VR goggles other than these Samsung ones but I can say that that are amazing. Easy to function, good comfortable fit and great image quality!

    The vr is ok. Biggest downfall is having to pay for every little thing. Never got the $50 worth of free stuff either

    We purchased this for the family and couldn't be more surprised at how cool it is. You do need a Samsung phone to use it though. I would highly recommend this product.

    This is a great product for right NOW...the problem with that is that every year phone technology changes so much that this product will most likely be obsolete by the time SG8 comes along. I really hope that's not the case and that Samsung continues to support this peripheral for at least one more cycle, ideally two. As far as the 3D itdself, its the best you will get excluding Oculus/PS VR/ HTC Vive which are hundreds if not thousands of dollars more.

    Unreal can't believe you feel like you're in the action. I wear headphones sit in a chair that swivels & you are in a world that feels so real it makes time go by quickly. .
