    Very solid, works with Galaxy S5

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

    Had Homido's first headset before, using a Samsung Galaxy S5. This one fixed my only real beef with the first, which was the lack of a capacitive button (which my Cardboard even has). Though it turns out I don't actually need it much. The new version is also a lot wider, which fits my head much better. Also the system for holding the phone is pretty fancy now, and even though my phone’s just average size I’m pretty sure you could cram in a really large phone and it’d work. For me, though, the new phone holding system keeps out almost all extra light. Overall the build quality is legit with a few other new features I like, like the zoom dial. Haven't tried Zeiss or Merge but can't imagine they could be much better.

    Great Headset

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

    I have tested out the Oculus and google cardboard and HTC VIVE this is the only one that didn't give me motion sickness great lenses little trouble with the 3d feature but overall comfy headset little heavy in the front but fits up to 33 diffirent phones so not complaining. although it just uses your phone as the screen your not tied down to just getting a certain galaxy phone. or i phone or any phone i could even fit my Note 2 which i use as a tablet now. even can link to your computer if you look up on there website. overall very impressed.

    Good VR Headset, one issue

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

    Lenses are really good quality. Phone holder is nice. Button is...unique, but functional. It uses a small nub to poke the screen rather than a magnetic button. Functional. Major downfall is that magnets hold the drawer closed, and the hinge is at the bottom. If your phone is heavy it WILL swing open when you look around too hard, or down. (Moto X Pure, for example). Easy to fix with a little velcro, and worth it as the lenses are top notch compared to the others I've tried (3 in total).

    Nice entry level unit

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

    Build quality good. Lense quality is pretty good. The FOV is nice when watching movies on android cinema app The unit holds my s5 in place with out moving. The interact button does not work that well. Sometimes my phone does not detect it. Definitely try an app called dark coaster it's a nice experience for this unit. Also try riftcat for pc to play oculus games on your phone. Some apps look and play well on it. Overall Im enjoying this unit.

    Good and bad

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

    The good, very comfortable, It seal around good so there is no fogging of the lens, the field of view is great, it is a bit more heavy than my other $20 VR. Since I have two VR, I can compare. The image on this VR is closer than the other one I have, so, the pixel is bigger (with iphone). The action button never work on my iphone 6, if Homido member is reading this review, please reply and tell me how I can make it work or I am considering returning this product. Since the button do not work, the only way is to "shake" the phone, try doing it with the VR on your head, forget about it. You have to take it off and shake it several times to get the control screen displaces on your phone. I figure out another way, just open the cover and tap the left side of your phone. This VR has all the adjustment for the lens, front and back, distance between the two lens, this is VERY IMPORTANT feature to make sure you can see clear images. I am still debating if it worth $70 VS my $20 VR, 3.5 times the cost but I would say 1.2 times better than my $20 VR set. Bottom line, if you only try this VR, you may like it, but it you have others to compare, it will make you think.

    Does anyone have trouble rotating the IPD dial?

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

    PROS: Good lenses, good focus, good field-of-view CONS: The magnet is too weak to hold the door closed, so it flips open when I am using it. The dial on the bottom of the unit is supposed to move the lenses to adjust IPD. MIne barely moves, and does not move when pressing "-" (only the "+" symbol). Is this normal, or is it a defect?

    Great Optics. Poor Design

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

    After reading the reviews I had high expectations. The optics were really good in the headset. Easy to focus and really clear compared to a much cheaper headset I tried (Shinecon VR). There were two major problems for me. First, there is no padding over the nose. At first I thought I could tolerate this but then came the second problem that others have mentioned. The hinged door that holds the phone in place is held shut by magnets. The magnets are at the top of the door, with the hinge at the bottom of the door, and were not strong enough to hold the door closed. If you looked down or looked around too quickly the door would suddenly open by dropping down carrying the phone with it. The weight of the phone dropping down and then coming to a sudden stop would cause the non-padded nose piece to crack against the bridge of my nose. The optics on this headset were so good I thought about using Velcro on the door and installing more padding to the nose but I would then be spending more money on an already higher priced headset. It was returned. If the door issue and some nose padding were added this would be a great headset.

    Ok Quality, Poor Execution

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

    The quality of the product is much better than some of the other VR goggles available and it is comfortable on your face. Unfortunately, one of the biggest drawbacks is that the lens fogs up in a matter of 30 seconds. It's almost like having swimming goggles on. There is no air movement between your face and the lens so the heat from your body has nowhere to go.

    My boyfriend was happy to get Homido V2 on his birthday !! I was a little bit worried at beginning, but He loves it !!! . Ok, here is comments from professional gamer. 1, conformable, no problem with his big nose 2, super lens, 3, button function depends on different APP, not all app support button. 4, extra foam, thoughtful accessories.

    There's cheaper and better out there

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

    This is the first pair of VR glasses I've purchased for my Android. The box was open at Best Buy, but so were all of the others so I purchased it anyway. The pupil width dial at the bottom was broken. Initially I was unsure how it turned, but the instructions were vague. Next the plastic door is what holds the phone, but instead of a 4 cornered latch it has three (2 on 1 side, 1 on the other). Well the 1 sided clasp inconveniently covers the power button, so when you are placing it to view it turns off. Poor design. Some other reviews complained the door is only held on by magnets and with the phone on the door (and the heaviest point) it can damage the phone if it popped open. The magnet had decent strength, but not enough for me to trust my new $400 phone in it. It does allow the user to wear glasses, but they would need to be thin as it was a snug fit getting them into the viewer. The only positive thing was it came with a nice case that few others do, but that's not enough to convince me to spend $80 for it. There are better options out there for $30 which I'll look for.

    The VR visual is pretty good. The zipper in the case only survived one day before it broke. Wish it could hold iPod or iPhone that has a protection case- we have to take case on phone/Ipod every time we want to use it. Overall, happy with it.

    Not good with iPhone 6s

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

    I got this for my son who has an iPhone 6s and while it's impressive looking it doesn't work with iPhone. When we followed the minimal instructions to go to the Homido Center from the app it kept saying "error during update". So I deleted it and re-downloaded on my iPhone and then got a message saying that the Homido Center (that is supposedly where you go to access all the games) is not available for the U.S. There is no other instruction as to what other game systems this might be compatible with, and trying to get to customer support has you clicking link after link that brings you back to the one that doesn't work. My daughter who has an android phone tried to download it too just to see if it would work on hers, but got the same error messages. So basically this is an expensive movie viewer. It's going back to Best Buy this week. Very disappointed because this VR headset seemed to have good reviews when I purchased it in November.
