    This thing was way better than I expected. Liked the plug and play as it would already give you all the drivers and software options to get you going.

    Good but dangerous for kids less than 13. Make sure to read the side effects, they are scary!

    This is fun there are good games and it's a really cool thing to watch videos. However it sits right on your sinuses and needs to be kind of tight so that it doesn't move around and you have an optimal viewing experience. That means if you have allergy or sinus sensitivity wearing this for more than 15 minutes is very uncomfortable verging on painful.

    Runs really well on S9 plus. A great quality headset compared to others. Compact, easy, portable entertainment system. Worth it at the price point.

    Like this for about a week. Most of the games or media were small and previews. Ran out of interesting things to do on it and haven't picked it up since I bought it. Cool for first time VR users but lack of interesting media made me loose interest.
