    This was a new experience for me. The virtual reality experience is hard to describe. The ride on the roll-a-coaster at six flags was so realistic it made you feel like you were sitting on it.

    I purchased this to view my son's soccer games in VR and it exceeded my expectations. The quality still needs some improvement but the apps and watching a movie is pretty spectacular.

    After returning our Google VR headset this is the one we went with. It's pretty neat and works well with our Samsung phones

    I've never been into gaming, but this has definitely changed that, it's awesome I put AKG headphones on and it's just me. I can't hear or see anyone. Thanks Best Buy

    These Samsung Gear VR goggles work perfect with my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. But returned them in exchange for the oculus go.

    The glasses are great especially with the controller. I gave it 4 stars because of price. I think $130 is a little high.

    Purchased for my visually impaired daughter to use with the Relumino app developed by Samsung. This has been able to help aid her limited sight. It has worked wonders!

    Is this the most outstanding VR device? No. But does it get the job done? Yes. Is it relatively cheap. Yes. Would I buy it again to show the demos I create? Yes.

    Picked up the Note edition to replace my phone version when I upgraded. Love the added field of vision that the display provides, and the games and immersive videos are amazing!

    Love that I can use my phone and vr headset on the go. And if you have a note 9, Samsung will send you a free USB connector so its compatible with their new phones!

    Seems to work fine, although it takes a while to get use to experiencing things in 360 without getting dizzy.
