The missing part. for Virtual Reality (VR) Headsets

I was so excited when I received mine only to find that it was missing a USB-C adapter. Luckily I have an s6 so I only needed the one that came with it but I can't find an adapter anywhere online and if I want to upgrade my phone it's useless to me if I can't find an adapter for it. So I'm scared of upgrading because I don't want to feel like I even spent money to buy this.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Appearance

Works great with S8+

I've used Gear VR with my S7 Edge so this review isn't really about VR I just know it's a great experience using it with your Galaxy device to use. But I am writing this because I know some people want to buy this for their S8 and S8+ and are not sure if it will fit or work. I can confirm the phone fits very well and this 2016 Gear VR works with the Galaxy S8+. So if you want to buy that, buy a $39 Samsung controller. No need to spend $129 for 2017 VR with controller, save some money. I hope…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Lots of things

Absolutely worth every penny and more

I don't have enough space to say all the positive things about this purchase. Conclusion: You will definitely love this VR module, especially if you have never had one. I bought this for my 11 year old daughter last winter and use it all the time when she's not around. Virtual reality apps that you can get for free or for just a few bucks are worth every penny. The experience is like nothing you've ever seen. Google has its own Cardboard apps, but they're nothing like Oculus's. I hate Facebook…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Not sure

Fits new large phones but needs separate adapter

Fits s8+ but didn't have the required USB-C adapter. (It included a USB-C converter). I was annoyed that the device had a USB-C port for charging, but I had to shop directly with Samsung for a replacement part for $13 plus $6 shipping. Both should be included in the package. I've tried a real Oculus Rift and it's a decent entry-level VR entry point, but nowhere near the same level as full VR. The USB-C adapter is not listed on Revain and must be ordered directly from Samsung. GH98 -40350A (For…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • boring packaging

Without the right adapter

Attention, folks! Obviously, someone does not understand that to use this device with certain Samsung products, such as Samsung, you need a special adapter. B. the USB Type-C adapter designed to connect to this device. The original US version came with this adapter. For some reason mine came with a small white adapter (similar to the one you originally received with the phone to replace USB "C" with USB "B"). It doesn't work with this device because it's too big. This leads to one or both of…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Clarity

Samsung Gear VR on Accessories

Pros: - Virtual reality is much more immersive than Google Cardboard. - Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes is a fun party game. - Interesting built-in VR cinema. - Netflix VR works as expected. - Smash Hit VR is fun entertainment. Cons: - Installation is quite cumbersome and the Oculus app cannot be installed until the headset arrives. - Suffering from the lack of a YouTube app. - Most of the most interesting applications and games require additional payment. - A third party app is required to…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • I won't say anything

The best VR solution at a low price!

AMAZING. Hundreds and hundreds of apps and features, most of which are free. Gear VR is your ticket to amazing new worlds, or a chance to see parts of your own earth where travel would be expensive or dangerous. I believe VR is the future of travel. Oculus has optimized its servers to stream almost any app or experience instead of having to download it, and it works very well - surprisingly well - can't recommend it highly enough. There are no cords or cords like the expensive PC viewfinders…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Everything is fine

One hell of an experience for only $20!

Samsung Gear VR 2016 version is pretty good. It feels well designed and comfortable. Using it is as simple as inserting the phone and putting it on your head. (You need to install the software first before you can use it, but just plug it into the headset and take it out after a few seconds to see the software if it's not installed. It's a great reminder too that while our smartphones can do wonderful things, it's not quite ready to be a supercomputer in your pocket.I have a Samsung S7 Edge and

Pros
  • Very impressive

53-year-old great-grandmother found a new toy to play with

I actually bought it for my husband who is battling cancer and also losing his sight due to diabetes, but I think he might not use it that way often he would like cuz i will use it lol. I'm a 53-year-old great-grandmother who loves to play with our new Samsung Gear VR, but I'm new to the world of virtual reality and any type of gaming in general, so I'm just learning the basics. When I first used it, I sat on the bed and almost fell off. I slammed my hand against the wall behind me and managed…

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • Almost never
