Samsung Gear VR (2015) - Virtual Reality Headset - Frost White (Certified Refurbished)

A Samsung Note 4 does not fit into the viewer. Having purchased it, I can truly say this is an original product and is perfect! Shipped well before time and all queries and concerns were answered.

Well this product is just amazing. I am not one that received this item for review so my review is not bias . From the get go you are already overwhelmed with the "wow" factor just from the main screen. You are immediately emerged into a whole new world just from the main menu. Your senses are fooled and even at the age of 36, I giggled like a little kid. I strongly recommend using headphones and getting a blue tooth controller ( although a controller is not necessary for most applications) . I purchased these two for low cost and they both work perfectly.

I have also experienced this as well. Certain applications use a lot more energy than others and the phone warms up quickly. There are a few ways around this. 1. Make sure your phone is in airplane mode! It will shut down any other applications being used in the background using mobile data. 2. Also make sure you bring up the open applications screen and close all. The less programs being used in the background, the less power the phone needs to use to run the VR. 3. Although usually the first two steps will eliminate the over heating, you can also purchase a fan cover for it or you can buy a gel freeze pack 3x5 and put it under the cover on top of you phone, there is also the option of putting a wet wash cloth into a ziplock back and freeze it to use if you want to cut down on costs, but those options also help out greatly with keeping the temperature of the phone down. With that all aside, there are so many applications and games that really blow your mind. The haunted attraction games, my personal favorite, can really scare the pants right off of you! The netflix application is awesome, its like being in a movie theater in the comfort of your home! There are education applications that put you in space, on an exotic island, a tour of paris, riding a rollercoaster or even inside an artery in the human heart! It is the cheapest model and for certain reasons. It is much lighter than its bigger brothers and there is much less padding. But I have yet to experience any discomfort with it. It won't have the graphics resolution of say the HTC Vive , but you're also not paying to have it so keep that in mind when purchasing an $80 product. But for the cost to value ratio, it is completely worth purchasing if you have the correct samsung phone!

An excellent immersive heads up display with creative features, easy to navigate and awesome games to play

One of the best purchases i have made. Good quality and comfortable. Great games and apps through the oculus store. I would recomend this vr headset to anyone with a compatible samsung smart phone.
