I own both a rift and now a gear vr and I have to say that for just goofing off it's a lot of fun. But I wish there was some cross compatibility with daydream/cardboard but they said it should be coming in a future update so we'll see.

This was my first time viewing the virtual reality world and I love it. I would have given it give stars, but I wish it had the capability to have a micro usb, and to be able to charge your phone while playing.

Finally pulled the trigger on this, been eyeing it for a while.
Price was very reasonable.
What a fun, time consuming device! Love it, and would highly recommend to anyone with compatible device.
Great for teens, young adults, middle age and (likely, not tested out yet) elderly.

Really fun and easy to use. At fist I didn't think I would use the VR that often but the games are entertaining and events, such as MLB Baseball games) are really fun. The oculus store has added a lot of games and apps to use on the VR and they get better and better every day.

I recently purchase the Samsung 360 camera and the S 8 phone. This seem to be a most have to enjoy the phone and the camera. I own the own the Samsung gear VR (1st Gen). This one is by far more comfortable. The S 8 phone did not heat up as the S 7 phone did during viewing.

I like the controller that comes with it and overall it is probably a little more comfortable than the first version. You CANNOT use the S6 or S7 with this set however since it now connects via USB-C.

This VR does everything it is supposed to do. While it is not one of the high end VR headsets you use for gaming there is plenty to do on this model as well. Lots of fun for someone who has never experienced VR before. Overall very happy with this product
