VR Headset i purchased previously are now slightly cheaper





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

Rollercoaster VR (Android)
Rollercoaster VR (iOS)

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.

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.

Sisters

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.

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



PS - If you do have any recommendation on apps / games etc, feel free to comment :smiley:

We just need a Kickstarter for a WiFi Fleshlight.

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.

So I have given up on the idea.

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

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:

Good write up and deal. Hot and purchased along with bluetooth joypad too for 5.99

http://www.gearbest.com/video-game/pp_197589.html

Code did not work for me, something about it was a VIP code? Still ordered though thanks

i'll give it a punt for £6. might be fun.

Just got mine, paid £6.66 using the code so worked for me!

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.

The TrinusVR software is interesting. I wonder if this will work with Elite Dangerous?

Anyone used TrinusVR?

Great Stuff!!! Ive recomended this very set to loads of people and on here

Of course, i just didn't want to go wasting £80 on something i hardly used, will look into it for sure! :smiley:

you can say that about most things lol Its £80 compared to £6.30 - worth giving it a go with that kind of price difference!

£6...bargain...

It comes from China, god knows how long you will have to wait for it and how much tax you will have to pay. But voted hot as for a first preview in what is to come with the Oculus and HTC.

I ordered the cardboard VR headset from the deal posted the last time (~3 weeks ago). I do hope I get it. dont want to put in anymore money in the site until I get those...

Is it possible to remote play from your ps4 to your phone and view in vr headset.

I havn't.. Another headset? I can't say with 100% certainty that the Ritecks won't work for everyone.. But my other 1/2 (who is an optician by the way) had a look and she also found the focal length too short (but not as bad as me).

Another thing to consider is that we are both mid-40s.. So younger people may not have such a problem with them...

No supported games :smiley: The list is at 91 and growing...

http://twinfinite.net/2016/01/here-are-all-the-confirmed-playstation-vr-games/

Don't confuse Sonys offering and these "Cardboard" VR headsets.. the PSVRs competition is the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive and will cost £100s.

The Ritech headset is basically a Plastic "Google Cardboard" headset....

i'll be jumping in on that, just dreading the confirmed prices!

£399 I recon.. After having a OR DK1, I know what to expect and would pay anything (literally)... But I just hope they have cured the motion sickness! I never get suck. Boats.. Cars.. Plane.. Rollercoasters.. Nothing makes me sick.. But VR... That was the worst feeling I ever head.. Got a full sweat on and my brain got so confused, it actually got worse when I took the headset off.

I said at the time that this could be the downfall of VR and I hope I am wrong.

What was the previous deal you eluded too?

Same for me with a recent purchase from them (Miband !S).

Can they be used with a iPhone? And is there apps for the iPhone? Sorry just a little confused

Hey, i posted a similar deal here Link which i mention in my 1st comment, just wondered if it'll be any help :smiley:

nice

I've returned a RITECH II to amazon.

Cold as poorer field of vision compared to cardboard headset (all of these 'focus' ones tend to have poor FOV) and can be difficult to focus.
The poor FOV (field of virw) makes the VR not as immersive.
This also has slots which let's light in.

Plus points for having a magnet though.

Thank yoi

goonertillidie hasn't let me down so far, bought just to try it ^_^

Not working for me, charging £10+

Tried it with Elite - works and is quite good - you can look around the cockpit as you'd expect. You need to know where your keys are and the resolution is lower then you can get on screen - I have an s5 mini so could do with a better phone for VR use. Not sure if I would do more than dabble with it at this stage. Also connection via USB is well worth it- I bought a 3m cable of amazon!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVPTSxAjqC8 here is the review of it

how much different is this to just using a normal google cardboard?

Are there any ones which allow you to adjust the lens' distance to get a decent focus? I'm long sighted and I'm sure everything will be blurry if the lenses are a fixed distance.

​that's done already. seen it somewhere. flashlight that connects to rift and responses to what's happening on the video :smiley: pretty sure one of themy 3d porn websites were selling it.

Anyone used this with an LG G4?

Can you use them to just watch movies on the iphone to give it a big screen impression, not necessarily 3D? Cheers

The cheaper headsets aren't that bad, got a set for £11 of eBay. Only downside with the deal is that it's Gearbest, first time buyer and it wasn't a great experience.

Left a a CS message and no reply after 3 attempts. Left bad feedback on trustpilot and they respond asking for order number, waiting on their response.

Went for one to try it after being genuinely amazed by an Occulus Rif I tried a while ago

Will my galaxy note 4 fit in there. I've got the cardboard one at the moment and love it.so it's time to upgrade.

Voted hot
Whereas the Tesco geese deals are in virtual reality :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah sure, I'll give this one a go. cheers mate

Unless I've done something wrong I would only recommend these type with mobiles around 6" (diagonal) as per


I purchased these just as an addon/gimmick/boys and their toys but with a Moto G they don't complete the "virtual experience".
Maybe I need to add something to bring the "smaller" screen closer to the viewer...who knows?

Thanks OP! Ordered.. Will give it a try...

Ordered mine a few weeks ago and it turned up on Saturday. How do you focus the lenses as i can only move either of them left or right to 3 different places?

I gave them a quick test by trying to watch film on my phone and it was unwatchable due to the screen looking like it was crossing over with each eye, or when changing the position of the lenses it made part of the screen disppear.

Not had chance to try with one of the VR apps yet but so far i'm rather disappointed as i thought it could be used to watch videos etc as well....... unless i'm doing something wrong but i can't see how i am? :man:

Would work with a Nokia Lumia 930 (Windows Phone 10)?

Thanks. I'll give it a go [thumbs up]

oh damn just bought one via my paypal now they are going to spam my a**

Ordered, cheers. Code does some weird stuff for me, originally shows at $9.59 before adding to cart, applying the code changes the original cost to $10.77 but the sub-total reduces to $9.19 :-) Not complaining and has gone through...Now, what's this VR thing I've just bought and didn't know I needed!!?

lool this seems so dodgy...one comment, joined this month

Can you use it with Samsung s5

Got one of these myself, sadly no one who has tried it so far can see it focused - is there a way to get in focus rather than lifting it 10mm off your face? (maybe I'm missing something)

Configuration QR Code for use with Cardboard:

But only Gearbest would be able to confirm specific customer/item details. I see nothing wrong with Gearbest using this method of communication as it shows they are pro active in customer service.
And I'm certain HUKD mods will be watching closely or may already know about this user.

Thanks. Works a treat now, very impressed. Trouble is i've tried a few of the VR apps and its stating my Vodfone Smart Ultra 6 has NOT got a gyro so they work but not as good as they could be when moving your head etc.

I'll give VRPlayer a bash as well cheers Lemmin83

Anyones orders come in yet?

Mine arrived today, it's pretty well made, very clear lenses, i just can't seem to get it properly in focus for my eyes despite not being all that short sighted... probably just haven't found the right settings yet

Got mine today and it works perfect with my Huawei P8 for both me and my 3 year old with the only adjusters set to the red ones.

Tried it with iphone 6s plus and cannot get it to focus properly at all, have adjusted the sliders but no luck!!

Anyway good luck to those who it works for maybe dependant on screen size of the phone!

What app did you use? Also what settings did you set the colours on?

I set the colours to the red setting (left side pull across to the far left, right side pull across to the far right). I didn't really use an app as such, just started watching 3D videos etc and worked fine.

Doesn't seem to be well suited for smaller screens (mine's only 4.8inch) as you can still see some of the phone frame while using it, ruining the immersion. I wish you could adjust it so the phone would be slightly closer to the lens, then it'd be perfect for my phone (the 3 settings don't fix this issue).

Regardless, for £6ish I shouldn't complain, it's a big improvement in comfort and build quality over the cheap cardboard one I bought last year.

Mine's only 4" (my phone I'm on about) and its a complete waste of time with this. No immersion whatsoever. Google cardboard is 10x better for people who only have a small one like me.

I might try and modify it so the screen sits closer to the lenses. Or i might just chuck it in the bin. We'll see..

Got mine today can anyone recomend any games/apps to use for it?
Thanks

Really interested In trying one of these VR headsets.
Is it necessary to have a Bluetooth controller too or is it easy enough to use without?
I guess I could add a controller at a later date if wanted to?

And is this still the best buy for a 1st try of VR, or is there a better option at this price point now?

Thanks all!
