Bought it and had to return it. Though this is serviceable when the price is considered, it is still not a device which will sell you on VR.
Pros:
- Well made, feels sturdy and build quality feels good, except for slipping eyepiece
- When used with true VR apps, provides a good viewing experience
- Light-weight and I never got the feeling that it will slip off and fall down
- Can use it with glasses
Cons:
- One of the eyepieces was loose and tended to slide by itself when I inclined the set. However, if I kept a finger on the eyepiece, it stayed in place.
- For some phones (Moto X Pure and iPhone 6), the placement of buttons doesn't gel. Volume buttons get pressed unintentionally
- Lack of a remote hurts. I could not use Google VR app as I could not proceed with no option to click a button on screen
- No QR code available which might have allowed this to work with Google VR app
- Does not work with YouTube 360 videos. You get cross eyed.
- Phone gets hot... reall hot. This might not be a problem with the set though since I've read reviews stating this is more of an intense processing problem
- Support: Though the company sent me couple of emails before I even received the headset, there were no responses to my queries on how to make YouTube 360 videos work and the slipping eyepiece, despite follow-ups
To summarize, this is a good enough set. There were some minor build issues and support wasn't great when sought. However, I did not get a 'wow' experience and YouTube videos were a no-go. So this had to go back. Still looking oout for a better VR headset.
This is one of the coolest things that I have seen on Amazon in a while. I have heard a lot about virtual reality 3-D glasses, but never thought to try them. When I had a chance to review the Virtual Reality Headset by Viewr, I agree. I was very curious about how they worked, and even if they were worth the effort.The glasses are made out of a heavy duty plastic polymer. There are two nylon straps. One goes over your head, one around your head. They are fully adjustable. The lenses can be adjusted easily.mthere are two slides on the top of the glasses, one for each lense. Simply pull them forward to adjust the lenses. It works with most VR apps.When I got received them in the mail, I thought they would be hard to use. Boy, was I wrong! All you have to do is open the front, and follow the instructions. It took about a minute for me to figure it out these glasses work. I am not a techie-type person, so it might take others less time. My son was the first one to try them. He put his phone in the back just like as instructed and closed the flap. It is easy to slip your phone in and out of. He downloaded several virtual reality apps on his phone. He turned his phone on to and put on the glasses. It was the greatest thing in the world to hear him giggling and laughing. When I asked him what he was laughing about, he said that it was just like a movie in the theaters. He said the best thing about it was that he could watch the movie by himself, and not have anyone around. I was the second one to try it and fell in love with them. It really is like being in a 3-D movie theater by yourself. The glasses make it look realistic. We have different phones, and they all fit in the Virtual Reality glasses just fine. I am going to have to buy more of them for the entire family. They are too much fun to have to share. When you decide to buy these, you need to buy more than one. Everyone will be fighting over them wanting to watch their movies from their phones. Anyone of any age can use these. Kids can easily work these glasses without a lot of parental supervision. The only thing about these Virtual Reality glasses is that they only allow you to look straight forward. They do not give you a complete 360 degree view. This is why I gave them a 4 star rating. Otherwise, they work great!I received this product at a discount to allow me to test it, and then write a review based on the results of my experience using this product. I am not affiliated with this company and I never promise to provide a positive review when offered a discount. I tested the product thoroughly so that you may make an informed decision. The views expressed are 100% my own honest opinion and are in no way influenced by the discount that I received.
