Revainrating 5 out of 5

Comfortable to wear and many adjustment options for a great VR experience.

*Very satisfied. Full view below Pros: - Much higher quality than Cardboard and other similarly priced models - Not too heavy - Comes with a microfiber lens cleaning cloth and 3 small self-adhesive foam pads for a more personalized comfort setting - High quality lenses - Adjustable width and depth - Comfortable to wear - The Contact surface to the face is lined with foam covered with a soft, leather-like material - Adjustable heavy-duty elastic strap - Heavy-duty top and side straps - Magnetic closures for the front flap keep it securely closed - Removable front panel for better cooling/visibility - The small metal pin (for the magnetic closure) on the front flap is screwed on to keep it secure. - Can be used with some prescription glasses. - It is recommended not to tear the face cushion - On heavy phones, it may be difficult to maintain the set depth if you look around - The small metal contacts (for magnetic attachment) on the removable front cover fall off easily - To prevent this, the hinge pin on the front cover can sometimes fail. Full Review: As a disclaimer, this is my first purchase of a VR headset. Wasn't expecting much for the price, but was pleasantly surprised. All in all, it feels cheap in places as some parts don't exactly fit together, but that doesn't detract from functionality. I like the adjustment options, the stable headband and the pleasant weight of the headset. The padding around the edges where you rest your face is of good quality and comfortable. The width and depth of the lenses are easily adjusted to suit your eyes and the lenses themselves are of good quality. The front flap stays closed magnetically and has a removable front panel that also attaches magnetically. Removing the faceplate allows for better cooling of your phone/device, which I like. Another thing I've tried is wearing prescription glasses while using the headset. With thick plastic frames this was doable but not very comfortable, but with thin wire-frame glasses I had no problem adjusting the headset to be comfortable. I was worried the shock would break, so I put a small strip of tape where it met the frame of the goggles. Now something I didn't like. The gears and guides that move the phone tray back and forth for depth adjustment do not prevent accidental adjustment when the tray is pushed or pulled out. When fully extended to its maximum depth, it's easy to simply slide the front tray back to its original position until it stops. While I personally haven't had to adjust the depth, it can be an issue for those who need that adjustment. With a removable faceplate, small pieces of metal that come in contact with magnets can fall out of their slots, so I recommend gluing them in place. The hinge pin that secures the hinge plate may fall out. The hinge pin has a larger diameter end and a rough texture that is supposed to hold the pin in the hinge with friction, but that doesn't seem to work so I recommend carefully taping that end. In the end, after a few days of use, I am very happy with this headset. I've used Google Cardboard and the AAA VR Cinema App with great results. It's so great that there's such a quality entry-level VR headset at this price point. I've considered Cardboard and other similar products in this price range, but this Voxkin VR headset is the clear winner.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Looks nice, but you CANNOT have a case of any kind on your device or it won't close.
