    The daydream is a good product from Google. Easy to setup and the experience is nice. The limitation is that only few phones are supported and the experience sometimes requires to take off the headset to operate, which is kind of inconvenient.

    We bought the Daydream View for our Moto Z and it works very well. For us, the YouTube, Google Play, and Google Photos are the killer apps. YouTube in VR is pure joy. You can have cure or flat screen at movie theater sizes. There are lots of pay and free VR apps to enjoy! The included remote is so intuitive and necessary for a good VR experience. Buy if you have a Daydream View compatible smart phone!

    Very well built. I have used a few different VR headsets and this one is very well made. Comfortable and easy to use with the included remote. The only thing I would improve upon is more apps, which they are continuously working on.

    The goggles are very comfy but do not keep the water out of your eyes while swimming. And my phone got wet.

    Great piece of hardware, needs software

    The daydream view is a nice piece of hardware waiting for software. The fabric on the device looks and feels good. It's comfortable and lightweight. The controller is not cheap feeling and makes the View much better than the Samsung gear VR. I'm disappointed in the apps right now but that should hopefully get better. So you don't need to rush and get it unless it's on sale.

    This is a lot of fun. It is comfortable but the nose foam piece can move. Not a big problem to adjust. There is a good amount of content (games, videos, etc.) but will be better when more content is produced.

    The Daydream is great affordable way to get started with VR if you have a Google Pixel, and a lot cheaper than the high end VR. There isn't a whole lot of content yet, but the possibilities of VR are endless.

    The product as described provides lots of fun and enjoyment especially if you have never used a virtual reality headset. It fits the phone perfectly and you really feel like you are part of the visual scene.

    Best mobile VR headset on market

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I own quite a few VR headsets (Vive, Oculus, Samsung gear, and now the Google daydream). Although you cannot compare it to the likes of the oculus rift or vive, it is by far the best mobile headset I have tried. The bluetooth remote really adds to the experience, and the price tag on it (if you don't take the phone into consideration) is really cheap.

    The headset itself is comfortable, but content is lack luster, especially if you have used an oculus. Kids only played it for a few minutes until they gave up. For the price its a good exposure to VR.

    so much more stronger & more stable than less expensive models of the same type of product...the phone does not move/slide/wiggle during use with the VR...also, the added remote provides 10x a better a experience than trying to move a cursor with your finger on the side of the VR...(which was on a more expensive VR that we sent back)s

    If you don't have a Samsung phone this VR set from google is probably one of the best choices out there. Phones go in and out easily and this is set is very light compared to many other VR sets out there. Don't forget to download the Dayfream app from the google Playstore to get access to many VR apps...

    The daydream view VR headset is a must if you have a Google Pixel or other daydream enabled device. The quality is great, and it comes with a controller. Although, your phone will likely heat up a lot after any use longer than say 5 minutes.

    The Google daydream VR truly is amazing in regards of the overall experience. The only thing I would like to see improved upon is a cooling fan or something to help cool the device down as the Pixel itself gets quite warm while using the VR. But overall worth every penny to have the experience.

    I bought it to try out but it wasn't really worth it. Most of the things I wanted to use it for like Netflix or directv now were not supported. You could really only watch YouTube on it and play games.

    This is a great start if you're just getting into VR, however it only currently supports limited android phones so make sure your phone is compatible first.

    I got the Google VR for my husband. He owns a google Pixel XL and VR is really immersive. You can watch Netflix, Youtube, play games, and much more. It's very comfortable to wear and also has wireless remote to control volume, and also a pointing device within the VR.
