    Good quality, lots of options, I thought some of the button placement could use some work but overall I have been pleased.

    Cool device works well. My controller loses connectivity some times but note big deal as it might be the environment I'm in

    A little heavy but very comfortable. You will need a micro cloth to keep the lenses clean. Focus and controls are great.

    Preordered the Galaxy S8 and got the Gear VR for free. Works pretty good. Need to purchase the better apps. Of course.

    I had the first-gen Samsung VR with my S6 Edge and wasn't impressed, and I was hopeful that this newest gen VR would be better with my newest gen S8+ phone. It's still rather pixelated and I didn't notice a big difference over the first gen. I'd still rather just watch something on my TV or on the phone itself. Maybe by the Galaxy S10 it will be worth it, but it's not there yet.

    It's a good headset, but way overpriced for what it does. Also comparability with your phone may be an issue.

    These are amazing. They are tons of fun and it is 3-D that even someone with an astigmatism can see.

    I like it not only for the games but also for visiting places that I might never get to...the only downside is that your eyes hurt after some time.
