    This is a solid VR headset with controls on the side, also can be paired with a handheld controller which I haven't tried yet.

    Compatibility issues. Box states that it works with Galaxy s6 but it really doesn't. It's flimsy with the smaller phone and will not lock appropriately. This review is sile regarding the inability to use it with the s6.
