Get it!

Absolutely love it! Adding a few accessories makes the experience better like hand grips, power pack etc. A little heavy and arduous to wear for long period of time but you get used to it. Im having a blast so far and Im only a week in!

Great VR set
Rating: 5
Does what was expected. Looks nice there is a tiny bit of screen door but you forget about it mostly. Enough games to keep your entertained not nearly as close as a console with games but if have a gaming pc can play a lot of pancake games on here too.

Works very well. Nice to not be tethered to a PC. Good, solid construction. Good value at the normal price of $399, although I see it for up to $600 other places. It's not light on the head. You'll know you are wearing it. But, that goes for all VR headsets. The bands do adjust nicely to hold it to your head. And there's an adjustment to change the distance between the lenses to match your eyes. Good sound, but there's a headphone jack also. It includes a very long USB charge cable, so would actually allow you to be plugged in to a charger while using the headset, if it was really needed. Untethered is the future for all VR headsets.

Almost perfect
Rating: 5
This thing is incredibly cool, no way around it. The graphics are amazing and if this is something you're not used to, like I have never really experienced VR before myself, then it's kind of mind blowing it first to see something so amazing. I do have a few grapes though, it has frozen up several times for no apparent reason, the games are pretty expensive to buy, adding a method of payment took two days and their customer support blamed my bank instead of them even though their forms are full of this Complaint. So bottom line it's quite expensive, the battery has a very short life only a couple hours, but the graphics are amazing. If you don't mind only playing for a few hours at a time then I definitely recommend it

I found shopping online to be a delightful experience. My ordered arrived on time and was exactly what I wanted for my son's birthday. I am rather new at shopping online but I certainly will be doing so again.

When a brother and sister locked together for 50 days can play a virtual quest together (yes, we have 2) in Rec Room(a free game) win and celebrate together and even find new friends while in quarantine is it worth $399? Absolutely!

My family members have been using this non stop. The unit is so good you really feel like you are in space, or playing a a game or whatever you choose. The apps are great! Well worth the money.

Headset is front heavy...Head strap is fine but I highly recommend getting an aftermarket strap...Batteries are AA and I recommend getting some rechargeable ones...

Great Quality for price
Rating: 5
I upgraded my S6 with Gear VR to the new S8+ with new VR. I didn't think that the difference would be noticeable but boy was I wrong! I LOVE IT. The Bluetooth controller is a nice touch and makes navigating around the menu SO much easier! The fact that Samsung even thought to put a USB adapter for both regular and USB-C was a nice touch. Now my wife will also be able to use her Note 5 with the new Gear VR . Love the attention to detail on this product as well as on all Samsung products, which my makes me a die hard Samsung Product junkie! Thank you!

In my business I need to show people the location they're visiting and inspire them to book. As content grows this form of visualising a destination will transform the booking experience of any holiday or short break. Great job Samsung! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Unexpected experience
Rating: 5
I must accept I am not a gaming kind of girl. So, I wasn't expecting much about the GEAR. I thought it was cool to have it, but didn't really see where I could fit this gadget in my life. I got my GEAR on my NYC trip and used it as an entertainment tool, learned about games and how to play it. It was actually fun and I ended up with something fun and different to do while waiting around in the airports. Then, I got back to Colombia and found out I could actually show my parents all the amazing pictures and videos I had taken with my GEAR. I was amazed to be able to take them throughout my whole NYC experience from the comnfort of our house in Colombia. They were shocked to feel like they were there, in that video, with me. It was after this happened that I actually realized the GEAR is not just made for gamers. It is a versatile tool capable of adapting to whichever entertaining tastes you might have. Thus, the GEAR is just an amazing bridge of technological reality, what you do with it, mostly depends on your imagination. To me, the gear enables me to share my experiences and memories with the ones I love… As I said before, I am not a gamer, I am more of an open space- sharing experiences kind of person. So, I found a use for my GEAR that could connect me to people. I have been taking my GEAR to friend and family parties. I have been making out of the GEAR a “group experience”, it has been amazing to share this technology with friends, family and the ones I love, and I must say, it has been the main attraction of the parties I go to. I have loved my GEAR and I loved that it fits my lifestyle, you don't have to be a gamer to enjoy these gadgets. GEAR technology has enabled me to connect and share my experiences and moments with family and friends. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I tried the Virtual Reality headgear, it was awesome. You feel like you are in another world. It is a strange feeling to be sitting in the middle of a bunch of people and yet you are in another world all together. It is like you are really there in this alternate world on your eyes. The strangest thing is that you can turn around and see behind you, above you and to each side, just like if you were really there. Things come at you and you will duck as if they are really there in the room with you. A great experience. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Fantastic
Rating: 5
Loved it As a caveat, I'm sensitive to motion sickness so there definitely was a little of this to hurdle through. However, once that got settled, I really started to enjoy the device. I enjoyed the novelty of trying out different apps and games. In particular, it was awesome to try out the 360-degree cameras to be inside the Egyptian tombs, or other travel destinations. I was in control of what to look at and it felt like you were right there which was absolutely amazing. As a sports fan, I tried out the VR experience to watch an NBA game which was a cool experience. It feels as though you're sitting right at courtside, and the ability to look left and right to focus on different things really adds to the virtual experience. The views switch seamlessly from courtside to the camera mounted behind the backboard which gives you a view better than any seat you would pay for in real life! The hardware itself is comfortable. It fits well on my head, doesn't feel front-heavy, and I didn't have any trouble with sweating that I noticed from other comments. Set-up was easy and the software easy to navigate. As it's powered by Oculus, you do have to download the oculus app and every additional feature you want to explore does require separate downloads, but these were snappy and glitch-free. I had a lot of fun with the device, and I was able to share this with my friends and spouse who all loved it as well. For the price, can't beat this VR experience. As VR support and apps expand it's only going to continue to get better! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Gear VR
Rating: 5
Amazing product. I had never tried a VR headset before and I was so surprised when I tried the Samsung Gear VR. My idea of VR has changed completely as a result of the Gear VR. I do wish there were more good free apps available, but from the ones that I download and played with, I was blown away. It is amazing how far technology has come, and the Gear VR is one great example of such advancement. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The Newest MUST HAVE
Rating: 5
I received my Gear VR at the same time as my new S8+ phone and I am just blown away by the combination. It's easy to use, very intuitive and I've had fun not only playing games, but watching concerts and visiting places around the world in stunning 360 degree views. Never having been one for gaming in the past, this has opened up a whole new world to me. Some of the most fun are the storytime games where you basically get to do a "choose your own adventure" game/storyline. They are so much fun!!! It seems pretty durable and with the straps installed both around the head and over the top, the thing doesn't move at all while you are wearing it. The only thing I do recommend is that you make sure that you clean all the dust off of the inner and outer lenses, as well as your phone screen, before hooking it up. Small specs tend to look HUGE and are very distracting. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The Gear VR is awesome. It's great for games (shooters are best), I have also watched some trailers from youtube and it feels like i'm at the cinema. I have also watched some of the videos I captured with the Gear 360 and it looks and feels like I am at the place I filmed. I can't wait for more content.

This thing is awesome, I had no idea whatsoever on what this was for. I saw reviews on it on youtube and saw that it was actually included with the phone I had just bought. It was simple to put it all together, all you have to do is install an app on your phone, connect the phone to the remote and its ready to use. Its so cool, actually does look real, most of the apps and games are really cool.

Cannot Connect to Because of "Invalid Request" Error
Rating: 1
Everything was going great until I plugged my brand new Galaxy S8 into the Samsung Gear VR headset. It required me to login through my Facebook account, which I tried to do multiple times. Each time I got an error message "Invalid Request". I confirmed my Facebook login and password, even changed my password and tried to login again, but still got the same message. I love my Galaxy S8, but am ready to send the "free" Gear VR back to its manufacturer after I pound it into little pieces in frustration. I'd be happy to change my rating if someone could tell how to get around the "Invalid Request" problem.
