Considering the going rates for the top VR setups. This one is a great value for the basics. The experience isn't gonna change your life, but for short money compared to some of the higher end headets, it's alot of fun and a taste of what's possible out there in the world of VR
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: some games require bluetooth game control, software/games still need improvement
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super Fun!

The gear vr is awesome fun! I'm really enjoying using these while my husband is sleeping, he doesn't hear or see it which is great since I'm a night owl.
I like that there is more and more content all the time, I'm not a gamer so not overly interested in that, but, I love Netflix and Hulu, access to YouTube and other Internet availability, I really like the Groove app! Just put on your fave tunes and pick an experience, and relax in a whole new world!
Now for the note so good stuff, unfortunately, they aren't very comfortable, need to be lighter in weight, more streamlined in design. Sometimes a little bit jumpy, volume controls need work, I have a hard time finding them while wearing, sometimes my phone gets too hot, and it does drain the battery and the charge port on the gear itself is not only awkward but, doesn't seem to work.

Awesome Experience

I enjoy the VR and I am already excited for more content and the next generation. You will enjoy using the Gear VR but if you use it for long periods of time you may find it uncomfortable . The content avaliable will have you hooked , I look forward to an HD version with more padding aroumd the bridge of the nose.
Pros: Lightweight, fun to use
Cons: Too big, Not high def, Did not meet expectations, overheats device, awkward fit and did not support prolonged use
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is fun and entertaining. I use it when i take long trips and keeps my kids entertained. I would just recommend for more games for the gear and more options for the settings or more visual manuals for kids, for example i have to set everything up for the kids right before they put it on or else they wont know how to set certain things on the games or videos.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, can charge it, good size, soft material around face
Cons: no automatic updates, not many games
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cons: still over heat if you wear them too long
I would recommend this to a friend!
