At this price (originally $699, now $99) you can't beat it.
I was interested in these years ago and did not pull the trigger because $699 was more than I wanted to pay. Now with a fantastic price I decided to try them. I was pleasantly surprised. It takes some time to dial them in, but once that is done THESE THINGS ARE INCREDIBLE! It is hard to get them adjusted to see the whole screen with out the edges being blurry. I had to get them adjusted with out any of the included nose peices for best viewing (need to get your eyes as close to the eye peice as possible or they look like junk). There are enough adjustment settings that most people should be able to dial these in.The picture quality is well beyond a 720p TV or monitor. The technology used doesn't have black lines in between pixels like LCD and OLED screens so you get NO screen door effect and text looks great. Honestly, the screen or whatever it is looks better than a 1080p TV/monitor and almost as good as a quality 4k TV. I have only played a few hours of Xbox Series X and it was a great experience.At $100 I can't recommend these enough as long as you don't mind doing a bit of work to dial them in.

Don't kid yourself
Any awesome cinema headset that is a little over $100 is going to suck. I knew that but I had to try it anyway. I won't be a jerk and return these. I will probably sell them for $40 on CraigsList. So what's the deal? Like others have said the image is clear but too small. Movies are surrounded by a thick black border on all sides, reducing the actual image you can see. The headset is not comfortable to me. It feels like plastic vice squashing my head. If you imagine you 'might' be able to do any PC productivity on these forget it. Everything is too small. Worth a try? Not really. Although more grainy I would rather watch a movie on something like an Oculus Go. You get a larger picture, more immersion, and more comfort. Sound is not bad but if you're not going to use these more than 5 minutes before selling them who cares. In 2020 these are a novelty at best and, at worst, landfill. This is an honest review and I have wanted a pair of cinema goggles forever so I said these things with some sadness. These would have been really cool 20 years ago.Update: After several days of use I have radically changed my opinion. I kept playing with the head strap and eye adjustments (more on that in a moment) until the comfort and image quality were so good I can actually work on my PC using the headset instead of a monitor. I completed an entire Blender tutorial on YouTube, flipping back and forth between the tutorial and the Blender program. If you know anything about Blender then you know is it chalk full of TINY menus and buttons, but I was able to see them all. And the image was not pixelated like it would be on a VR headset. The image was crystal clear. So, yes, you CAN actually use this headset to do actual work on you PC, not just watch movies or play games. This is exactly what I was looking for. And an added bonus is that you can lay down on the couch with a keyboard in your lap while you are doing it. I have a standard keyboard and mouse attached to a small board with velcro and I can lay the whole thing in my lap. Imagine actually working while you are laying in bed! It is possible. As you get used to the image it seems to get 'larger' over time. What I first thought was a small image is not really bad at all. Again, Blender for reference. ONE thing I really love about this headset is that you can focus the lenses so that you do not need to wear glasses. I cannot for the life of me understand why most of the headsets on the market do not allow you to do this! So, no, I will not be selling this headset after all. I will probably end up using it multiple times a week when I want to lay on the couch but keep working.3/19/2022This headset showed promise. But it was difficult to get the eyepieces adjusted just right, the thing pinched my head (in spite of my above comments that I finally figured out how to make it comfortable) and I did not end up using it for anything. But the biggest problem my unit has is that there was often no sound out of the earpieces when plugged into an HDMI cable. When the unit is turned off and plugged into an audio cable (which is the procedure for just listening to audio) sound only comes out of the right speaker. So basically I have a cool looking piece of junk. This head mounted display has since been surpassed by the Goovis which is a much lighter, much more comfortable and much higher resolution HMD. The Goovis does not have headphone but that's no big deal.

Great concept - good price
The pair I received unfortunately flickered every couple of seconds from white to yellow-ish, then back to white. I tried it on my PS4 Pro, MacBook Air (2020), and iPad Pro (2020). It worked seamlessly on all three and the video quality looked great! The sound quality was even better! I also tried the 3D-SDS mode it has (Side by Side video format) and it was awesome! But the flickering really made me nauseous so I ended up returning them.On their website they state that these are not “full immersive experience” and they are correct - although the headphones do cancel out most of the noise, the “visors” or lenses section don’t necessarily cover your entire field of view. It allows you to look up/down and see what’s going on around you. The screen that it puts in front of your eyes is also not much different than looking at my iPad Pro from a sitting position on the bed (with the iPad on my lap). I suppose this product would be an incredible buy at its price point if it was fully immersive or offered virtual reality, like the Google Cardboard app.I also tried to pawn this off on my teenage son and he was so excited to use it until he too noticed the flickering and it bugged him as well, he insists I buy another one for him, but I think I’ll wait for the next version.As always, shipping was incredibly fast and packaging was great!

Not a good product
This product needs considerable development to become what it could be. Right now, it is not very functional as a head mounted display. The field of view is pretty bad as is the resolution. This achieves a similar result as having a medium sized TV decently far away from you, not an ideal viewing experience in my opinion. Additionally, you need wired HDMI hookup so using this on a plane or train would also be a pain.

It’s worth buying twice.
Amazing! This is the future of entertainment. I got it mainly for gaming, playstation 3 and xbox one. It’s like really being in the game. If you want to have a life changing experience get these and play “No Mans Sky” in first person view. Just absolutely breathtaking. The quality of the graphics and sound make it very realistic. It can be really addicting. One of the best things i’ve ever bought. Get one and watch how amazing playing games and watching videos becomes.Pros:Incredible Video QualityFantastic SoundProfessional Grade DesignCons:Adjusting the eyes and nose piece to fit just right. (Easy to do but takes some time to get it perfect).Field of view. (To see the display the clearest, either play in the dark or put a black cover over your eyes).Overall it’s amazing. And it’s so worth the money. You can use it for games, movies, drones, apps, computers and more! I’m soo happy with this! You will be too.
