    Samsung Gear is my first VR device. Using it with Note 8. The physical setup was easy. The remote is convenient. It does require a lot of downloaded software, but this is to be expected. It does take some time to adjust to using it without feeling somewhat disoriented. Picture sharpness is not good enough to use for a long time. If you want to jump into VR without spending a lot of money, this is a good way to go.

    Nice quality headset, but returned it because i felt vit was not worth there money. Kinda expensive, for what vit is, plus, i initially bought it for my 87 yr old mom, thought she d like the vr pictures, but, it was not good for older people. Can make you feel dizzy and other.

    I enjoy the abililty to access the VR technology utilizing my phone but I feel the goggles and controller are a bit overpriced for what they are. Wish there were more apps as well. Had to buy a separate game controller in order to access games like Minecraft VR. I like it for viewing my Gear 360 videos and pics. Overall it functions nice for an introductory VR experience.

    I got this for my daughter the saturday after black friday and got it with a bundle deal with the 360 camera. Needless to say i set it up for play tuesday so it would be ready when given to her on christmas day. I was blown away and wanted it for myself instantly. I went back to best buy to buy another bundle for myself and was told that was a black friday bundle and that special has now passed. I wished i wouldve set it up the day i bought it because i wouldve bought 2.
