Samsung does it again

When it comes to electronics, I am definitely a brand buyer. There's just truly nothing that compares to the quality and support you get with any Samsung product, and the Gear VR is no different. I have never in my life been so in the moment as when using the VR. There's a guided walk through that couldn't be easy that also caution against the use of the headset longer than 15 minutes. Yeah ok, the graphics are so incredible I literally travelled around the world for hours.... it's amazing. I find it hard to sit in one place as you are directed to, because it's just so life like I'm turning which is difficult while sitting; let's just say I've bumped into a few things while getting used to the device. I do have difficulty with and without glasses. It's hard to focus no master how I adjust focal piece, and with glasses it's a bit uncomfortable and adjusts beautifully. If I could find a way to behave myself and follow the time limit recommendation, I would easily avoid the slight motion sickness I sometimes experience afterwards. Honestly, save your money by passing on the cheaper brands and purchase these. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to Gear VR. This headset truly provides an experience that cannot be replicated by any thing else on the VR market. Considering how cheap they are for what you get, why waste your time?
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Built-in speakers, versatility, expanding applications
Cons: can be tricky for those who wear glasses
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best bang for your buck!

BOTTOM LINE: You have to try it to understand!
For such a low price you have such an unlimited amount of access to fun. It is AWWEEESOOOME! The only issue I have had with this awesome gadget of the year is the lens' fogging up a bit and me running the battery dead from watching too much Netflix. The new internet browser (beta) Samsung just released makes it so much cooler. You can access almost any website now. The games are interactive and fun. Everyone you let try it will be highly impressed. You truly feel like you are in the video or game that you are playing and it truly is the best VR out there at a reasonable price. I feel like I just got back from vacation every time I use them. You can go to live concerts, different countries, and much more with them. It is truly amazing! I can't wait for them to come out with a version that fits better on your face and maybe a way to easily charge the phone while you use them.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, fun!!!, game/app selection
Cons: Too big, no access to charge phone

Cons: Not high def

This is the rebirth of a favorite from my youth, the Viewmaster. It's also a Quantum Leap beyond that simple toy, that stirs the imagination and the sense of amazement to me today, as the toy did when I was a child! This is the most amazing device for exploring the world from your living room I have ever Imagined, bringing exotic places to all your senses in a very personal and experiencial way. Could be a very powerful tool for education as well as an entertainment Wonder! Get one, you won't regret it!
Pros: Realistic color, immersive

This is the best thing since slice bread. Everyone I show it to loves it.
Games are fun, watching Netflix everywhere on a virtual big screen is great. Virtual tours are exceptional.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

WELL I HAVE TO SAY HAVE THESE HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT FUN FOR ME AND THE FAMILY. WE GOT 2 PAIR ANDBOY DO THESE GET USED A LOT. THERE IS TONS OF APPLICATIONS/GAMES AND EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION OUT THERE FOR THESE THAT I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN THE CLASSROOM SOMEDAY. I REALLY WISH THERE WAS A TRADE IN FOR THE OLDER ONES TO GET THE NEWER ONES. ONE DAY I CAN HOPE. I WILL HOPEFULLY BE GETTING THE NEW ONES WHEN I GET A NEW SAMSUNG. I AM LOYAL TO THE COMPANY AND CANT SEE GOING TO SOMETHING ELSE. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE LIKE THIS AND I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHATS NEXT. I WILL BE A GAME CHANGER AND I WILL BE FIRST IN LINE TO BE GETTING IT.
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight
