These things are amazing for something that only cost $6. I'm terrible with technology so I wouldn't have bought a VR headset otherwise, in case it was too annoying to figure out how to use. This requires no tech savvy, just find a VR video on youtube or whatever, stick your phone inside the cardboard box, and look into them like you would any other pair of googles. I took the advice of another reviewer and downloaded the "Within" app, and the videos on there worked way better than what I could find on YouTube. So if your having trouble with the quality of the YouTube ones, definitely check that out. Overall, not something I'd use everyday because clearly, it's made out of cardboard so not the most comfortable. But it has shown me how cool VR technology can be, so I'm already considering buying a better headset. Which should really be your purpose for these – just drop the $6 you wouldn't give a second thought about spending on coffee and a donut on these, but instead of getting coffee and a donut, you get to see how it would feel to be in a rocket taking off for the moon, then opening the capsule and going on a space walk. (That was one of my favorite videos, on the Within app.) Or there's jurassic park ones on YouTube that are pretty cool. There's something about it that's super relaxing too (unless you watch the horror vids, which I'm definitely too chicken to do.) But yeah, it blocks out the rest of your vision so you're fully immersed in the video, maybe that's why it's much more relaxing than watching Netflix in your bedroom. You'll still be watching videos in your bedroom, but for $6 you can somewhat convince your body that you're taking a stroll through the rainforest. If I get a more comfortable headset I'll definitely use it to relax before bed. Just get the darn thing man, have I mentioned it's only $6?
