Review on πŸ“± Samsung Gear VR (2015) - Note 5, GS6s (US Version w/ Warranty - Discontinued) by John Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For the price this is a great VR system

For the price this is a great VR system! I got a faulty one due to my many failed attempts to connect it to my Samsung S7 Edge, but I've used it in a store and I'm very impressed. I have a slightly weak stomach on rides like roller coasters, so it could be related to how I felt (nausea, dizziness, disorientation, lightheaded) a good hour or so after using it. That being said, I still wanted a pair for parties as a novelty or to cover the breaks in online gaming. I am repurchasing them after receiving a full refund from Revain. I'm still dying to own them because it's quite an unusual experience. I really wish it wasn't that far to see movies at the cinema, although the seating is decent enough to watch for a few minutes. I gave this item 4 stars due to my faulty device and the app obviously has some bugs that need fixing. I hope they get fixed in the future as I feel after using VR. I will most likely consider taking some Dramine meds to lessen the feelings in the future. If my next product works flawlessly, I'll be happy to increase my rating. Pros: Exceptional immersion, most of the content is 360 degrees, you can watch movies in the cinema, very new party games, and the content library is quite extensive. Cons: Might make you nauseous if you are prone to this type of illness, the cinema pushes the pictures back quite a bit, and a personal bug in the app/device forced me to return my product.

Pros
  • Improved fit including room for most goggles and improved padding for added comfort and durability
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
