5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! Although if you have a S6 edge, your phone will overheat.

Works great! There could be some tweaks that Samsung itself needs to fix, but overall its a great product. As long as you have a Samsung phone (which I have the S6 edge). Although the only thing is that my phone overheats, so its not the VR thats the issue, its the phone.

If you need assistance in getting things started once you received the Gear, just search the internet and you will find plenty of help. I just cleared all my apps, took away battery saver mode, and once I attached my phone, it installed the programs and viola, it works! Theres more tips to do, just can't remember off of my head.

Also, if you do have a S6 edge, get some 5x3" gel ice packs to cool your phone. It fits well between your phone and the black plastic cover attachment to cool your phone, because it will overheat.

4.0 out of 5 stars Limited Catalog, but Interesting
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2016
Verified Purchase
The VR is interesting, but the Gear Oculus store/Samsung store doesn't have that much overlap with the larger Oculus catalog. There are a few titles that are interesting -- Land's End and Esper, two puzzle games, stand out, as well as Tactera, a really cool take on the RTS - but otherwise it's mostly small concept pieces or a few promotional movies. Well done as a piece of hardware, but it's definitely something you should only get if you're ok accepting that you'll very much be an early adopter and that the catalog might not grow.

The resolution is a bit odd in Netflix, but it's pretty comparable to the Vive or Rift in practice, and there isn't very much screendooring so all in all pretty good.

A limited product, but if you accept its limitations it's still worth getting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, terrible software!!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is a high quality, nice fitting headset. Very comfortable and well done. HOWEVER, as soon as you plug your Samsung phone in, the system takes you to a Samsung home page that you cannot get out of, you can only use the Samsung store VR items so the millions of free ones on the web are not useable. This renders the headset worthless unless you want to spend $5 to $10 for every decent download, my kids gave the headset back after 10 minutes and didn't want to use it anymore after using a terrible cardboard one for hours. Also, does not fit the Active S6 or S7, does not work with a case (had to take the case off my wife's S7) and the phone gets SUPER hot because of the setup. I strongly suggest you avoid this device, I returned mine for one half the price and totally flexible.

Arrived in original box and everything inside looked as if it had been packed and protected as if bought new. Manuals included and eye pieces perfect condition and protected by plastic film...just like new, only at a reduced price. As for the VR Gear experience, I am 57 years old and this thing blew me away. I have already had several hours of fun and it is actually educational too. What makes the Gear so much better is the connection with Oculus software and content. Streaming, recent and free! Plus, it is SO MUCH fun to have friends who have never seen one, put it on and take a virtual roller coaster ride. Never gets old :)

For $34 it is great condition, with some using mark.
I got two of there glasses and use it with my S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge Plus.
Only one problem: this glasses required to register Facebook account ! I do not like Facebook.
So how I can disable VR Gear service in my phone, because this program case series gulch of the phone, overheat and battery damage, and simply enjoy split screen 3D video from YouTube ?
I ask seller, but they just ignore me, so may be it is good idea to return both items and get some replica for $19? which works without Facebook.

4.0 out of 5 stars VR is a fun adventure!
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2017
Verified Purchase
I love the experience of VR and this headset is much nicer than holding up a Google Cardboard to my face. I've tried a couple of the knock-off VR headsets and they seldom hold the phone in a good place. I don't wear my glasses with this. Apparently you can do that with the newer version, I'm not sure, but with my glasses, it's difficult to find a good focus point. Additionally, you need to clean the lens before every use. Any lint or dust will bother you. It's relatively comfortable. My Samsung S7 works well with it. Do yourself a favor and get the controller, too. The touchpad works, but it's not very intuitive and I struggled getting my hand in the right spot to make it do what I needed it to do.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but needs the bugs worked out and remarketed.
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017

It's a great idea, and is nice while it last. BUT the phone over heats in it very quickly and it takes forever to download games, apps, out whatever you are wanting to do on it. And before anyone says it was probably your phone, no it's not is the answer to that. We tried 2 other phones in it, it happened to all 3 phones AND when it's not in the headset the phone operate very quickly for downloads and don't overheat when playing a game on them at all. My son, who is autistic was looking forward to this from Santa and he only gets to enjoy it for about 5 mins of playing time after downloading takes forever and then it quickly overheats when games play. Try telling a child that they only get 5 mins of a video game..... Ya not easy! Fix the bugs and remarket it and I'll give a better review
