High quality VR headset

I have this VR headset Bought on May 26th. , and the package arrived a day earlier than expected in perfect condition. I found the packaging very chic and the instructions easy. The headset has straps that can be worn around the head or over the head and I appreciate the fact that all the straps are easily adjustable to fit almost any head size. The mask is not heavy and very comfortable to wear. One of the best features I think is that even if you wear glasses you can slip the eye mask over your glasses and get the perfect fit - my husband wears glasses and I have added a pair of glasses. Photos where he wears glasses over it with no problem. There is also a slot on the side of the glasses to connect your headphones to your device. I had no trouble inserting and removing the iPhone 6 from the main slot, even with a thin phone case. The goggles are very responsive as I adjust the lenses for clarity, press the button and move my head to navigate. The site offers a wide variety of games, videos, and experiences (our favorites so far are Rogue One and The Lion King's Circle of Life), the technology is engaging, and the visual quality is superb. The only thing that bothered me when I tried the glasses on for the first time was that after just a few minutes of wearing them, I became severely seasick and was afraid that I would no longer enjoy them. However, my husband, who is prone to motion sickness, tried them and had no problems even after 15 minutes, so I tried again. This time I watched videos and played games for about 15 minutes and had absolutely no motion sickness issues. I suspect my problem was simply user error the first time I was learning about the features of the glasses and how to adjust the lenses for a clear image. pleasant experience.
