I really like the Netflix option on this VR. It gives you the opportunity to watch a Huge screen while laying in bed relaxing....use ear buds for best quality. I think this is expensive for what it is though. It is cool but still really just a gimmick.

Great way to check out VR without spending lots of money. I used it with a Galaxy 8+. Great resolution. Coupled with Occulus games, you can get great entertainment. Also works well with Google apps like YouTube. Will be using Note 9 once I receive adapter (free) from Samsung. Well worth purchase price.

Ok this thing is wicked cool....almost too real when it comes to heights....very fun. Do have to admit, the graphics seem blurry, even with the focus know....not sure if the expensive games (vs the free ones) are better or not.

Does pretty much what says it does, pretty cool!
The headset is NOT case friendly with Otterboxes which means you'll have remove your case to use Gear VR. Not sure if there are other cases that are Gear VR friendly.

I bought this for my husband. My daughter had one which she really loved and let my husband try it out. We bought him one for Father's Day since he really liked it a lot. I wish you did not have to take your phone case off to use it but all of them do that. My husband loves it.

Nicely built and designed. Comfortable to wear even for streaming binge sessions. Good environments and a few nice apps, more more more please. Suprizing amount of free titles and clips.

Even though I haven't really figured it out yet the times I have used it I was impressed that the quality of the Samsung Gear was comparable to the experience I had on my son's Oculus.

Field of vision is too narrow. It looks like your looking through binoculars.
VR isn’t where it needs to be, in order to be immersive yet. It’s more of a gimmick at this point.

The Samsung VR is incredible. I played poker at a high stakes casino. I watched a baseball game at the stadium. I watch Netflix on a couch I’m a home where I don’t live. This is simply the future of entertainment.
