These didn't work very well. My phone kept falling out of the slot, the headband kept popping off, and the overall experience viewing the vr was not good. Returned. Will be spending more for better equipment

First time I ever purchased a VR headset. Wanted to get something relatively cheap to see if I would like it. Takes a couple minutes to adjust to the screen, but once you have it on it works to its fullest potential. The earbuds slide out on each side for you to use if you like, but you must connect it to your phone before you strap the headset on. I use Bluetooth headphones that I bought separately since the earbuds that are provided don't go completely into my ear. Also, using minimal lighting in the room you are in is also key. Sometimes if you are in a well lit room, the light sneaks in by the nose and very slightly interferes with the viewing process. Otherwise, a great product to use if you want to dabble in the VR world.

I do love this product, we initially bought it for our kid. But it has some pretty great perks for adults as well. I just wish it stayed fitted better on the noggin, not to secure if you're moving around.

I could use this only for shorter videos and not for long ones or games. Also, its not so user friendly when u have to change videos. I had to take the phone out and then change the video and then place it in the case. The pause and play buttons never worked on my phone, so I even had to take the phone out of the case each time I wanted to pause or play or change the video.
I could not use this for more than 30 minutes continuous and causes dizziness. Its a bit heavy too.

This was my first VR Google purchased . It was a present for our grandkids and they seemed to really like it. I cannot compare it to higher priced googles, but it was certainly a hit at Christmas.

My son wanted this headset and was told it would be compatible with an I touch. An I touch is actually too small and slides around too much for successful use. Recommend for iPhone.

My IPhone 6 Plus fit perfectly. Retractable ear plugs are definitely a plus. Very comfortable fit on head and around eyes.

Straps are Annoying

The product itself seems okay. I can't say much because I have not personally used it. I bought it for my daughter. What I can say is that the straps that keep it on her head keep coming off. As of the first day of use, the strap already had a hole in it because I had to keep reattaching it. This is very annoying since I thought I was buying top quality by choosing one that cost more than the others. We had a cheap hand-held one that worked fine, but I bought this one so she could attach it to her head.

I think once I figure out all of the different settings available, this will be a great VR. This is a pretty good mid-level price as well.

Not bad for an intro to vr but the straps stretched out and easily fell out of place. Spend the extra money and get a higher quality headset.

Was an ok viewer when I could get it to work. My Samsung note 5 just didn't seem to fit. May be better for a smaller phone.
