I've had this product, less than a week. So far it's hard to stop playing, in VR. When watching netflix, it feels like I'm sitting 6th row, in a movie theater. The games are kinda hard, but that makes them more interesting. !!!
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight

I definitely love it the moment I put it on myself. I was so impressed by it. It's the virtual reality that has captured my attention and feel the connection with it like I'm inside the reality.The only thing that missing out is Samsung gamepad controller. Definitely gonna make that an addition to my Samsung products collectible. Definitely love Samsung, you rock!

I use the Gear VR with my note 5 and its probably one of the best technologies to hit the market. I love that i am able to be transported to different parts of the world that you could only experience by being there. The games can still make you sick at times but i wouldn't let that stop you. Overall I would recommend it to anyone because you got to try it to believe it.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight

I really like the Gear VR! I do find the market in app/games for it rather limited considering how long it's been available.. luckily I use mine more for videos and (my absolute fave!) GrooVR. That app is so good if you are a music junkie and appreciate very beautiful scenery. It's the most relaxing thing ever and so cool how you can play stored music or connect with Spotify and sound cloud. If you have used google cardboard you will LOVE the VR.. the quality is far superior and more satisfying. I use mine with the note 5 and have had no issues with overheating or lag. Fun device!
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: not very comfortable after a while, most of the apps require wifi
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome VR experience for reasonable price

What an incredible experience! Whether it be playing games, watching movies on Netflix, this headset truly enhances the media experience!
The first time I put it on I watched a star wars video. I guess it's like being on a speeder and racing across the desert. It was a thrill to look up, down, left, right, and behind. It really felt like I was racing fast and I swear I could feel the sand particles hitting my face.
The only bad part is that my phone overheats pretty quickly and can't really make the experience last as long.
This is truly the future of entertainment!

Endless entertainment!

I purchased the GearVR without knowing much of what it could do. I did not read reviews, and I did not watch YouTube videos. I had heard that it was "cool" and that it offered some pretty neat features. I received my GearVR recently, and I am pleasantly surprised at how much entertainment value this product has!
I have access to Netflix, Oculus apps, Samsung Milk service, and even a web browser! I LOVE the ability to "hang out" with others, chat with them using voice, and watch a video at the same time. There's even a virtual "hang out" app that allows users to "sit" around and chat with each other.
The price tag on this item is WELL worth it, even if it is missing a few features I wanted.

Cons:
- You cannot use a native YouTube app
- You cannot (easily) use Google Cardboard
- You cannot use any Play store apps with it
- Heavy with Galaxy Note 5 (haven't tried other devices)

Pros:
- Samsung/Oculus offer a pretty extensive catalog of applications
- Samsung Web Browser (BETA for now, and is advertised as being fully introduced in 2016) allows access to YouTube videos (2D and even 360 videos!)
- Quick Setup
- Virtually (get it) endless entertainment
- Fantastic future development opportunities

If you're debating on getting this, just buy it. You'll be quite happy that you did. For the price, you can't really go wrong, anyway.
Pros: Inexpensive
