Inexpensive VR machine
There is nothing to dislike about this VR headset. Images are clear. Although you have the option of downloading their app to see VR, I just go to youtube and watch them. My son especially loves it. He is always watching the shark VR videos!
There are no cons to this system. It is great all around.
Easy to Use, Viewing Experience Not Too Exciting
This headset provides a comfortable but limited VR experience with the app. The image quality was just okay. The app is the main limiting factor. One of the experiences was a view from an Arctic submarine.
The headset fits me very comfortably and is easily adjustable. I wore the headset for about 30 minutes without any discomfort. The viewing experience is limited to the app that you can download to your phone. Your phone locks into the front part of the headset, but the protective case on your phone must be removed for it to lock into the phone mount properly. I have an iPhone 6S Plus and it works ok, but the viewing experience is better with a newer phone. The app setup instructions are very clear and simple. I was able to begin using the device within minutes.
Comfortable headset, limited VR app
This headset is comfortable and fits securely, but the app is limited. It grants you access to 75 VR videos ranging a number of different topics and locales. After a brief setup process, you can browse through the collection.
The experience is decent for the most part. Video can get blurry if you move your head to look around too fast, which breaks the attempt at immersion.
The headset itself doesn’t have a button, which further limits what you can do.
The lack of a button hurts the overall score. The app itself being so limited is another minus. You get access to a set collection of videos and that’s it. You can grab other software from either the Apple or Google Play store that will let you do more. You’re mainly paying for the headset and access to the library of VR vids.
I like that the headset is comfortable and stays secure as you look around(even while laying down in bed), but not having a button is an inconvenience. The app is also not necessary. You can watch VR content in a variety of places and its very easy to set yourself up.
Disappointing and dizzying
I got these to see if we could try the whole VR thing. We don’t have anything to compare it to since we’ve never tried Quest or Occulus. So my thoughts:
-These were hard to focus (they never really got clear)
-Left the viewer feeling dizzy (no matter who tried it)
-Not all phones fit well
-The scenes are limited
I assume not all virtual reality is this way but it doesn’t leave us wanting to try others systems…
I got these because I have always wanted to try them. I don’t know anything about VR goggles but whenever I have seen them in other places they cost a LOT more. So, these might be more of “entry-level” goggles. They are OK. I would never parachute or paragliding so this way I can do it in the safety of my own home. I have only tried a few of the videos and to me, nothing special. But, I am a senior citizen!
Fantastic value - great VR experiences included!
Really impressed – fantastic quality, easy to set up and comes with a load of high quality VR video experiences included at no additional cost. Have just ordered another to give as a Christmas gift to my god son. Great for all ages not just kids – highly recommend!
Sign up on your phone & use code on pamphlet when prompted for confirmation code
Heads Up Easiest way to register an account without issue to get your free video catalog is through your mobile phone. Make sure you have the pamphlet handy that comes in the box with your code they provide there. When you are prompted for a confirmation code this is what they are looking for. Also you most likely need to remove your phone cover for it to fit properly in the VR headset.
Long version of the “heads up” section I was thinking it would be easier to sign up and register my new account on my PC for a number of reasons one of which was saving my password in my password manager. That was a mistake, I ended up having to register a new account under a different email after signing up and misunderstanding what the prompt for my confirmation code was,(I was thinking I was supposed to be receiving something by email).
Then when I didn’t get any confirmation by email I kept pressing the submit button it and it did let me proceed finally but with no access to the videos. So I reread the directions and figured out that confirmation code they were wanting was the number printed in the pamphlet in the kit. And even though I deleted my account through there site, it would not let me use my Gmail account again, it said that email already was registered. Finally I was able to register correctly with my Hotmail account. But then I had to sign in again anyways when I loaded the VR app on my phone. So ultimately save yourself a bunch of time and headache and just do it all on your phone from the get go.
Regarding actual product This experience is pretty neat and I would recommend for yourself or as a gift for a tech enthusiast. This is my first time using VR and it is quite the experience. Look up, look down, look side-to-side, and there are no blind spots you are in the 360 degree experience.
Be careful of your surrounding though, I did it in a dark room and when I was finished I had gotten disoriented from moving and looking around in the VR and had no clue where exactly I was in room at first.
The videos that I have watched so far have been around 8min. You do get 75 of those videos with the purchase but I feel being pretty short you’ll burn through them quickly. I do hope that they will be adding more videos that will be included with your purchase. Or if there will be additional payments required for future videos I hope it will be reasonable and the videos will be longer.
I’ve never tried virtual reality devices before. This thing is so cool! Just setup the account, download the app, pick a video/program and slip your phone into the goggles. The only downside, and it is just to keep us honest is that once you set the goggles up you can’t give them away to someone else unless you give them the account as well, which I suppose isn’t so tough.
The materials and quality of the unit seems to be top notch and you get like 75 different programs to run on it. I’m taking it my daughters to play with the grandkids with this one! I’m gonna be the best Bumpa ever!
I’ve never used VR goggles before but was definitely curious about them. These were easy to assemble and setting up an account was a breeze. I have an iPhone 14 Pro and did have to take my case off to get the phone to fit even though it’s a slim design case. Adjusting the focus was a bit tricky. I wear a contact in one eye as I do monovision to avoid wearing reading glasses. It took some time and it did give me a bit of a headache initially but eventually I got everything into focus and was no longer seeing double. The goggles fit comfortably but aren’t snug so there is a tiny bit of light that comes through. Not enough to take away from the experience though. There are quite a few videos that you can choose from once you use the code provided to get all access. For instance, I spent some time skydiving even though I’m terrified of heights. It was very realistic and a bit trippy to think that I was actually just sitting on my couch while all this was going on. I’m pretty sure I had my arms out as well. Lol. I still don’t know much about the VR world but so far it’s been pretty fun and I think this is a good product for someone who is new to it all.
Way better than I expected. You have to download an app on your phone and launch the videos on there. Then hook your phone to the front of the headset. Lots of videos that are actually way better than expected. They have roller coasters, dinosaurs, and even one with mermaids. My kids love it.

The VR goggles was packaged well and easy to assemble. The account setup was easy and getting the 75+ free videos was no problem. My smart phone, Samsung Galaxy S22, fit nicely in the slot where the phone goes. The tutorial was short and simple to learn how to control the VR goggles. Focusing the goggles is simple and straight forward. I’m amazed by being able to look all around and seeing things as if you are there – I know this is what VR is suppose to do but I’m still amazed by it.
The videos are pretty cool and you can get immersed in the VR. I have to hold on to something to help me realize where I am in the room and keep me from wandering while wearing the VR set.
The only item that I wished was better is that there is a small light leaking through around my nose where the goggles don’t fit snuggly. If I tighten the head strap, the bottom of the goggles are lifted away from my face and this reveals more light. I have to push and hold on the bottom of the goggles to get rid of the small light coming through.
Overall, good product to introduce someone to the VR world.
