    Could just be me, but I didn't find the excitement in the VR experience I was hoping for. I felt like I needed to hold the set cause I had a fear of the magnets giving way and my phone falling out. For the price, it didn't live up to the hype.

    This was my first foray into VR and I'm still very much a novice. I bought these and a cardboard set. Spend the few extra dollars for these. I don't know what higher end goggles are like, but these seem to be well put together, nice padding and comfortable. Worked with my iPhone.

    Pretty good, but one major flaw

    The slide button you use to select items is held in place by a magnet. If you move the slide button a certain way it can become loose and the magnet falls down inside the viewer and almost next to impossible to get it back to where it can grab the slide button again. Really bad flaw.

    This was a gift for my son but I didn't realize that you have to have the larger phone in order for it to fit correct. He hasn't enjoyed as much because the phone slips and the visual is not super amazing. Can be fun and something that I should have noticed prior to purchasing.

    This was a gift but the person that received it from me has thanked me over and over again. He says that it was his favorite Christmas present...and this speaks volumes coming from him as he is a grown adult! Thank you

    My Galaxy S6 tends to overheat after what seems like only a short period of use. It is fun to use and I recommend sitting in a swivel chair for the maximum effect. My 6 year old grandson was enthralled with it and wouldn't give it up.

    The product itself is very nice. A lot of them do not come with headphones and that is the specific reason i chose these. Everything works fine and I haven't had any faulty parts YET.

    Got this for my teenager and returned it the next day. The pocket that holds the phone over heats the phone so bad. The headset is heavy so much that you have to keep grabbing it thinking that it is going to fall off of your face. Not to mention how dizzy you feel when you take it off. Just not what it’s put out to be. Wish we had read reviews before I purchased it. Hope I helped someone else.

    I liked the product, however, there is no enough supporting apps through the App store. Keeping it for now in the hope that more apps are to be released. The other draw back is that you have to buy a separate blue tooth remote.

    I read the reviews and was really excited to purchase this product for my 23 year old brother. Unfortunately, it was not realistic AT ALL. The quality of the picture is below par--it's like watching a glitchy cartoon from the 90s. Also, the strap kept sliding off of his head (and mine). Please do yourself a favor and purchase a better headset. You get what you pay for and I definitely threw away my money when I purchased this item. It may be better suited for children---but I honestly would just STEER CLEAR.

    I've never used the VR head sets before, but I have lots of fun with these. I liked the ones at the store more, that were more expensive, more because of the fit and the video it had in it.
