Gear VR
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·TechNinja
The product is great, the menus are easy to navigate. the available apps so far are nice, but I mostly use Netflix, Twitch and the Internet browser (No Youtube App!?). it doesn't strain the eyesight as much as I would have thought. Although its not comfortable for long periods of time, even worse if wearing glasses and headphones. I haven't worn them for longer than 1 movie averaging 2hrs at a time.\nJust make sure that if you order online and pick up at the store you get a Brand NEW Gear VR. When I opened mine I noticed some wear and tear on the padding. :(

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·bettershipping
I purchased this VR Headgear and I'll tell anyone who is thinking about getting these DO IT!!!! They are the best and easy to use. It's a whole new experience when you use them it's like being in a different world of your own. You can play games and even swim with sharks and touch a dinosaur. You can ride a roller coaster or walk a tight rope and feel the same rush as if you were actually doing it in real life. They will keep you entertained for hours.

Reviewed on www.bestbuy.com·Shdyone
The Roomba 980 is a great little robot to have. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so vacuuming is almost an every day job if I had the time. I bought my Johnny 5 (it's name) and had to return it after 6 days because it wouldn't charge completely. The 2nd robot seems to be doing fine so far. I run it daily and it still picks up a lot of hair the dogs and cats lose in 1 day. I ran it 2x in one day just to see if it wasn't getting all the hair and it proved it was working. The 2nd pass barely picked up anything so I know it definitely does the job!\r\n\r\nIt seems to get confused easily if it doesn't have a lot of open area. It tends to go over some of the same areas twice or do circles. I wish it had a better sense of direction (tracking/mapping). \r\n\r\nI am OCD when it comes to vacuum pattern in the carpet and I must say the lines are nice and even, although not always perpendicular to the walls.\r\n\r\nThe app needs to have push notifications so if it gets stuck, or the bin gets full, etc., you are notified if you are not near it when it's running. \r\n\r\nI have it programmed to run in the morning after I get home from work. I do a quick check of the floors to make sure the floors are free of dog toys, water from the dog bowl, no cat puke , or anything like that. Hopefully future models will come out with liquid/moisture sensors so people with pets don't need to be paranoid about their expensive little bot being ruined by running over liquids.\r\n\r\nSome people complain about how loud the roomba is, and all I have to say is... It's a vacuum with great power! It does the job of a regular vacuum, but maybe not as deep of a clean since it doesn't have brushes. Regular vacuums are louder than these are so I have no complaints about the noise.\r\n\r\nNeeds to have night vision so it can be run in complete darkness.\r\n\r\nA bigger dust bin would be great but it will increase the bot's size and probably make it so it can't get under beds and cabinets.\r\n\r\nNothing can ever be perfect but this vacuum sure does great. I can walk around the house in my socks all day and by the end of the day my socks are almost free from animal hair :)\r\n\r\nThis bot does such a good job that a 2nd one (the 960) was purchase for the upper level of my house.

not for me
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·charlie
purchased online using my walmart card and shipped by beach electronics. came in 2 days and were excited to use it. let me start by stating i am 68years old but somewhat tech savvy. to me this vr headset should be used with a dedicated phone seperate from the phone you use daily. first you can not wear glasses with the headset on,we tried but way too uncomfortable, the focus button in the middle should have a more varied scope of focusing but it does not so if you wear glasses this will not work out. back to the phone issue,first you have to remove the protective case,i have a sammy 6s edge,so by removing the case i also am disturbing the protective glass piece ugh,and to make it even worse if you have any smudge or scratch on the protective glass you have to remove it to see clearly. only way i can use this and enjoy is i purchase a new phone de-activate my 6s edge and use it strictly in the headset. i'll wait until they work out the focus and phone issue.to be true though when i removed the protective glass and inserted the phone it was a great experience,but not worth the issues i mentioned

When it comes to electronics,...
Reviewed on www.homedepot.com·Samsungjunki
When it comes to electronics, I am definitely a brand buyer. There's just truly nothing that compares to the quality and support you get with any Samsung product, and the Gear VR is no different. I have never in my life been so in the moment as when using the VR. There's a guided walk through that couldn't be easy that also caution against the use of the headset longer than 15 minutes. Yeah ok, the graphics are so incredible I literally travelled around the world for hours.... it's amazing. I find it hard to sit in one place as you are directed to, because it's just so life like I'm turning which is difficult while sitting; let's just say I've bumped into a few things while getting used to the device. I do have difficulty with and without glasses. It's hard to focus no master how I adjust focal piece, and with glasses it's a bit uncomfortable and adjusts beautifully. If I could find a way to behave myself and follow the time limit recommendation, I would easily avoid the slight motion sickness I sometimes experience afterwards. Honestly, save your money by passing on the cheaper brands and purchase these. You truly get what you pay for when it comes to Gear VR. This headset truly provides an experience that cannot be replicated by any thing else on the VR market. Considering how cheap they are for what you get, why waste your time?

Reviewed on www.ebay.co.uk·kavigoorah_75
Pros:\n\n1. The VR videos and pictures are amazing. You feel as if you are part of the film etc;\n2. The dinosaurs, shark, video are worth watching;\n3. You can watch netflix videos like in your saloon;\n4. Games like breaking glass is very impressive;\n\nCons:\n\n1. The gear VR gets heated after 10 to 15 minutes of watching videos, so cannot watch films on it;\n\n2. Not so comfortable, despite being light;\n\n3. Not so user friendly i.e guides when downloading large video files etc;\n\nIn general, it's a good product for having an immersive experience with this new technology. Need to be improved for more comfort; ease of use; for watching films without overheating mobile; and include a battery pact which can be attached to the neck etc.

A great entertainment still in development stages. After putting your cell phone in the headset at the very edge makes it pretty heavy for your face the phone overheats after 10 or 15 minutes sometimes less the speakers are hard to hear so you need Bluetooth headset to go with it but the entertainment part is pretty good still definitely needs to be lighter a Wi-Fi design would be good so you can watch without having to insert your telephone into the headset it's called VR virtual reality it's actually not virtual reality if you record your own videos it's 360 reality and still an amazing development in 3D reality I see it as a bittersweet you record something with a Samsung 360 camera then with the headset you can relive it as if you were actually there the sound the people the scenery exactly as if you were standing with your friends and family I say it's better because it brings back the sadness of being with someone who made low longer be around sweet because you're actually listening to them and watching them talk and do what they do as if they were still around bittersweet I see great things coming from this creation Samsung keep up the great technology well the world's watching you.

This thing is amazing. There's no better companion for a long flight or any other situation where you would love to block everyone out and do your own thing. This is a super step in the right direction for gaming. Not even Marty McFly could have envisioned this. Fully immersive 360 degree views make you feel like you are actually a part of the game instead of playing it. No matter how happy your house is sitting on your virtual couch watching movies on your true home theater screen is amazing. The only drawback if there is one is that one day you will have to purchase a Bluetooth controller. Other than that this thing is 100% amazing

OK so i was skeptical initially when I got the Samsung VR but boy was I wrong. The experience is smooth and simple. Takes you places you've never been and truly gives you that virtual reality feel. Once plugged in with your phone - the controls are intuitive and the headset is very comfortable on your head and bridge of the nose. I've done the virtual social hangouts and that was a lot of fun too. For those that have never tried this product it is a not a fad - a must have into the wonderful world of VR. Do not miss out and the price - can't be beat! A+ product and experience!
