Headset
The headset itself is rather tricky to get working the first time. The straps might not feel great on the head, but that's easy to adjust. Long hair beware! Also with the additional controller mount the headset can feel a bit lopsided. So i'd recommend strapping the sides first.
The lens can take time to adjust right, but the range is nice and high if you are near/far sighted which is a real plus.
You can also adjust your internal resolution to 2K, giving you a much higher fidelity in certain videos and games. Can use way more battery though.
Controller
The controller is rather basic but very functional for basic games. The tracking is mostly based on an internal gryo method, which is accurate in orientation but will not track distance. That will be an adjustment from those playing in usual vr setups.
Buttons are easy to remember, but hard to associate when playing games. This goes away over time when you get a feel for it.
This controller uses AAA batteries so be sure to snag some beforehand as mine didn't come with any (purchased used)
Content
It has and can play anything the Oculus Go can play, as well as any extra android apps that support it. It's a pretty big bonus for this system over it. Smash Hit is damn near essential on mobile VR since it's a great intro game to the system. (Like how Superhot VR is to desktop VR)
Comes with some free stuff, but mostly video related stuff.
Other
The battery will drain on this thing! Thankfully you can plug this into an external power supply using a usb-c cable. This to me seems like the best way to enjoy this for longer than forty minutes.
The internal plug can be swapped from usb-b to usb-c which is a nice plus, allowing use with multiple models from Samsung.
Conclusion
While not as in-depth as desktop VR, this will probably give you a taste into VR and might just make you eager enough to try and get the real deal. The best aspect is without a doubt being able to watch 360 videos, where news coverage of many things really give you a brand new perspective on the story, It's as humbling.
Seller gave me a nasty busted up box but thankfully it's in-tact so I guess I can't complain. The box did it's job in the end.
Some details about this unit. The headset uses Oculus' own store created for the Gear VR and it is very slick, you can access Netflix, YouTube etc, just like Google cardboard, but done in a much more professional manner. The controller is a nice addition, it appears like a laser pointer in the VR. One thing to note there are few titles compared to Google Cardboard and they fall into two classes, demos (mostly) and pay apps which like the Gear VR are a cut above cardboard apps, especially price wise. The headset actually has electronics built-in which provides an enhanced layer of functionality, there is a USB charging port that will power the Gear VR and charge your phone. I recommend you use an external battery for charging (sitting in your lap) as your going to be twisting around in different directions to see everything and the cord will get tangled. I have been told, (but haven't tested it yet) that the charging port can also function as an OTG port allowing you to connect external devices like game controllers, memory sticks, keyboards and mice. Another thing to note is it does not support (as far as I can tell) the ability to access apps that already exist on your phone, (so no playing your favorite 2D games), nor does it officially support Google cardboard apps, but there are some folks that have written workarounds for this, (again I haven't tried any of them yet). So I suggest you do some research.
The summary: Is it worth the price of admission? I certainly think so and as it become more popular I think we will see an increase in the number and variety of applications for it. Also, I can't speak to other carriers, but if you get it from Verizon and don't like it you should have 15 days to return it.
