too bulky
Its cool to have but if you really want a good experience spring for the more expensive ones. This one hurts my nose and is too heavy. It also is hard to adjust the lenses to get a perfect display. But for $22 I cant complain. It does what it needs to.

Reasonably comfortable, reasonably priced.
This is an affordable and good-looking VR headset, although it's pretty much on par with a lot of other similar VR headsets on the market right now. The distinguishing factor is the slide-out phone tray, unlike many similar headsets, which have flip-down phone trays. It's just a different loading mechanism, but it's one that many people may find preferable, and possibly more durable. Comfort-wise, it's about the same as the other headsets I've tried. They all feel front heavy, and there's no avoiding the fact that you're going to feel that foam on your face. Personally, I find it unpleasant to have that foam pressed up against me, and even if it is consistently disinfected with alcohol, the repeat mechanical action is bound to cause breakouts.......but there may be not way around that. All VR headsets have more or less the same design---you just have to find one that fits your face well enough that you can temporarily forget you're wearing it.I don't like the way they've exaggerated their claims that "...you won't feel any visual fatigue..." It just seems unethical to make those claims, since the fatigue and general sickness that usually come with VR are a product of something called "vergence-accomodation conflict," which has to do with the mismatch between where you point and focus your eyes to look at something distant in real life, versus where you are forced to point and focus your eyes to look at something on a screen strapped two inches from your face. In other words, you can fool your brain with VR, but you can't fool your eye. Your eye is always looking at a screen two inches away, regardless of what's on it and how it's projected. Make sense? And there's no getting around that, no matter what headset you use. So I don't like to see companies make false claims that can't be backed up by real performance.But if you accept general discomfort and sickness as a given, and you're not bothered about truth in advertising, then this is a decent headset. As far as VR headsets go (which ALL look dorky) this is on the good-looking end of the spectrum, and it's no less comfortable than the others I've tried. So overall, I think it deserves a solid 4 stars, but I'll keep looking for the Holy Grail version with a more comfortable face mount and better weight distribution.--promotional sample provided for the purpose of review---

Very cool, you gotta try it!
I've tried several Google Cardboard VR headsets, and this is definitely better than the rest. The packaging is nice, as it came in a nice white box. I opened it to find the VR glasses, and immediately thought it had very good build quality. The headset has a series of straps that go around your head on the sides, and one on top. They are adjustable, and meet on the back side with a soft white pad. I tried it on and liked how comfortable it was. The lenses are adjustable left and right (for pupil distance) and back and forth (forward and backward).On the front, you slide out a phone holder. I love this design as most the other VR headsets have a fold-down method where it sometimes drops open and is a real pain. This one, you slide it out completely, insert the phone into the holder (in my case, it comfortably held my Apple iPhone 6s Plus) and slide it back in. I was concerned about my Sennheiser headset cable fitting, but actually, it worked well. I put my headphone cable in my iPhone and noticed there was a notch in the plastic holder in the headset designed to let you use headphones with the device. Headphones are really integral to get a proper experience.So overall? I'd say it's pretty great. The price is great, and the lenses did their job. It held my phone well, and overall was pretty comfortable. The padding around the face was nice, but could be a bit more. Google Cardboard devices are supposed to have a QR code that you can scan with Cardboard compatible apps to "set" the viewer and settings. This came with a small card with a QR code on it, but it didn't scan properly in the app. When I did scan it with a QR reader, it simply launched the App Store and pointed me to WeChat...oh well, who knows what that's about other than advertising. Not good.The one thing that none of these plastic Google Cardboard VR glasses have that the original has is a "button." Google's Cardboard device has a button that when you push it, it pushes a notch with a capacitive pad on it against your screen. This lets you "tap" the screen while wearing the goggles. So that really needs to be added, but it's not a complete deal breaker.I received this product for a discount in exchange for the promise to give an honest review after I have thoroughly tested the product. This is my honest opinion of the item and is not influenced by any discount.
