I recently ordered the 3D Virtual Reality Headset Phone 3D Glasses from gearbest i posted on here approx 3 weeks ago (see 1st comment for a quick review) and have been really surprised at how good they are for £8 odd.
Just had an email probably based on my previous order for the RITECH VR 3D Glasses II using code GBRITECH to get them for just over £6 odd delivered.
Personally think they're better than my previous buy as the have a focus on top depending on what size smartphone you have and also have a magnet on the side so you can select different settings etc without having to take off the headset.
currently using with a Samsung S6 edge, phone fits fine with it not rattling around and been really clear through lenses.
Personally i've used it 5 or 6 times in the last week and found it really comfortable.
Straps can be fully adjusted and seem decent quality that should last.
Apps / Games i've currently been using are as follows
Pretty fun, you actually turn your head to move the lever to continue the ride, i'd say it's worth the 69p for the full app but it's currently free to try.
I can't really comment on this game personally as only spent a few mins on it, family members have tried and within 5 they were screaming and jumping around (Ghost story / game) - Best played with headphones in!
Also if you're looking to use your VR with say a PC this can be done using TrinusVR
I've given it a quick go and seems to work well, there's a trial version so can test before without spending a penny.
-------------------------
Back to the deal itself, i THINK this is a better deal due to the magnet on the side of the VR and if you don't have a bluetooth controller with a normal headset you sometimes have to take out the phone to select what you need, not a great pain but you could be doing without it.
also has a focus button on top depending on what size phone you have.
It's also £2 odd cheaper - Don't forget to use the code GBRITECH to bring it down a tad - Grab the deal HERE or hit the 'Get Deal' button
Phone fits upto 6 inches and has really good reviews.
PS - If you do have any recommendation on apps / games etc, feel free to comment :smiley:

I bought a Ritech V2 and have been REALLY disappointed...
I used to have an Oculus Rift so I know what is possible.. And to be fair.. A phone is more than able to give an impressive VR experience.. But not with the Ritech!
The reason being is that the lenses do not focus on the phone.. The phone needs to be 3" further away for them to work...
I am "blessed" with poor eyesight and have a prescription of -8.0.. With my glasses on it just about works, but then its a bit uncomfortable.. But when I am wearing contacts, I simply can't focus on the screen.
So luckily for me, I can wear my glasses and just about use it, but gave up after a few mins.. But people with good/normal vision can't use it as they can't focus.
As such, its not £6 well spent.. I still want a "cardboard" VR solution whilst I wait for Sonys PS VR system, but can't find consistent recommendations of any which are worth the money.

Hot
Ordered. Can't go wrong for the price. Although I paid £6.66. The code didn't seem to work and the site was showing £6.05 but once transferred to PayPal page it said $9.19

Strange, just checked and code working OK.
Paypal charge slightly more as it's using their conversion rate as i recall.
Enjoy, once received, let us know how you get on :smiley:

When I went in to buy it said "sorry the flash sale is over" but still charged me £6.05 on Paypal so I assume I'll get it for that price?! Anyway, thanks for this listing - my son wants to experiment with VR on his Steam games and this along with the TrinusVR software seems a nice cheap intro. :smiley:

aha, win win then!
It's really worth trying out.
Personally didn't think i'd be a fan but that soon changed.
When i do get time, i'll practice more with my PC and other games and add some more info.

Good write up and deal. Hot and purchased along with bluetooth joypad too for 5.99
Nice spot, games like titans in space don't need a controller as you can select via using movements and moving the dot on screen.
Well worth having though!

Hi Rob - and Thanks fellow gooner, Tillidie for the original post. I'd like to follow suit and buy the joypad - but unclear from the product description as to whther it will connect with iPhone, unless through a Jailbreak. Not sure why I'd would need to Jailbreak for a simple bluetooth connection - any thoughts?
Cheers,
GG

If you have an S6 then it's a no brainer to get the Gear VR, I know it's more money but it's a much better experience.

Titans of space
Funnily enough all about space, load the app, put the headset on and view all the planets and more.
Kids seem to be pretty fascinated by this, especially when looking up and seeing all the stars.

There's also a YouTube review here if that helps.
