Outstanding image quality and product features.

I had Samsung VR goggles, the best in the Fatshark range, for my drones and was looking at different VR headsets. I also looked at the "LUCI Immersโ€ brand because they had the best specs on paper but had so many disappointing reviews for their Indegogo campaign when they finally got it. I was searching the market for a 'VR type' headset just for watching movies and I was a bit doubtful I would find a headset with great success and good image quality, but Goovis Young has it with an excellent image quality made. (I just wish they were as broad as the LUCI Immers specs). Processing and optics are first class. There is no fly screen effect like with VR glasses. has excellent picture quality, as clear or sharper than your phone's screen. I chose this model because I don't need it for 3D or VR, it really basically uses a cable to connect it to the device (so no cable clutter like other models). I like that it powers my phone's battery, unlike my fatshark. that requires an external battery. My phone model's screen automatically dims when it detects you're connected to another monitor, headset monitors turn off when they detect your nose isn't there (so if you don't have a nose, this may not work for her). Doesn't even fog up on my semi-flat Asian face. Individual eye diopter adjustment is a HUGE advantage if you have different perceptual values for your eyes. It really feels like being in your own private cinema. The size and weight are excellent, you don't feel like you have a shoe box on your face. I am using this headset with an old Samsung S8 which only works with Goovis Young, my DJI Mavic and thermal cameras. To use it with Samsung DEX, search for DEX on your phone and turn it on (select DEX on your TV or monitor). Touchpad (Swipe down from the top of a compatible Samsung screen and you will see a notification "Use your phone as a touchpad for DEX" OR a small square icon will appear on the bottom left of your phone's screen to activate the touchscreen) . (You always have a little cursor arrow on the screen, but you don't have to peek out of your headset to do things on the screen). To disable DEX, just go to settings and turn it off and the screen view will look like your phone screen. The only cons I can find are: 1) To store them in a case you have to remove the strap or you risk damaging or deforming the face foam. 2) For the high price they should have at least included an overhead support harness and two different extra cables which they sell as extras for Goovis Young. 3) Even if he leans to the side, he's still in the way. 4) It's wired (but I think it saves weight). 5) It's too easy to move the width settings for your eyes while rendering them. I wish they were tighter/harder to move. 6) Diet. Drains your device's battery (recommended to buy " while you render them. I wish they were tighter/harder to move. 6) Diet.
