This thing is amazing, I bought it as a Christmas gift for my son. I think I enjoy it more than he does. Very realistic. The only hassle is downloading the different apps, other than that it's amazing

I picked this up because I wanted to try out a VR headset with out going broke. At $20 on sale it was a great value for a basic headset

I bought this at a very good price as a Christmas present for my grandson. I am sure he will enjoy this present very much and use it over and over again.

My son and I and all his friends and all other adults love this thing. It's very much full immersion, with sound, games...just great. Space is the best program to buy.

Read many online reviews and viewed many youtube review videos. Great sound and small size. You don't need to upgrade to the bigger, more expensive model, cause this model handles whichever music you theow at it. I use it indoor for background soothing music and sounds. I also play hard rock, like Disturbed, on it while I workout outside and can hear the music clearly without distortion.

Use this with my iPhone 6S and virtual reality apps. Fun little device, just wished it had a headstrap for long viewing.

This is a pretty good cardboard-compatible viewer for the price. The only thing that is missing is a head strap.

This is a nice, cheap VR viewer. I wanted something more robust than the cardboard viewers, and this works. The Viewmaster apps didn't work well, but there are plenty of other options on the Google Play Store. It is not totally immersive, but it is a lot of fun for a low cost; I don't have to worry when I hand it over to my 3 yr old.

Everytime me and my kids go to Best Buy they always have to play with the Samsung VR. We don't have Samsung phones so I did some research on what would work with iPhones. I found these cheap to try out and they work pretty well for the price. My kids love using them :) My boys have iPod touch 5s and they work just fine in it

Got this for my 7 year old's birthday. The headset can work with any Google Cardboard app, just change the settings to the right device. I like it that he has to hold it up so he has to take breaks. As far as the View Master software, getting the apps to register that you have the physical discs is tricky. I recommend just paying for the apps in the app store for ease of use.

I bought this product knowing its from a ViewMaster remembering my childhood with slides and amazing views. I was thrilled to buy this but they are no where close to the original product. In the pursuit to virtual reality, they have totally destroyed the product image and experience.
