Homido - V2 Virtual Reality Headset for Smart Phone with Carrying Case, Black

This is a great VR headset for first time . comes with great carry case . I would say its as good as gear VR.

Im not trying to sound like some ungrateful gift receiver here. But it just doesnt work. I have an iphone 6s plus and I have tried getting the apps for this device to work and neither will. The main app "Homido center" will download and then once I open the app it has an error message that pops up saying "There was an error during the update." I am a relatively tech-y guy (I've built my own computer on 3 different occasions and work as a computer coder) and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it and their support was non-existent. The gift giver felt awful and we are returning it tomorrow. I felt bad to even be like this.

I can only speak for how this VR device worked with an iPhone 6 and not with any Android device. While you can see stuff if you get everything started and then put your phone in, you won't be able to interact using the button on the side which only pushes a little stylus nub onto the screen. It never worked for me even though I could confirm that it was hitting the screen. Also have the Google Cardboard and its button actually worked. If you just want to check out VR while waiting for Apple to get off its rear end and make one for the iPhone, you should save some money and just get the Google Cardboard.

I think it is a quality headset with a decent 100 field of view which is as good or better than some of the more expensive ones out there. I gave it 4 stars because it does tend to fog up a bit but that is the only thing I have found fault with it so far. The lens are good quality and it is comfortable to wear. Homido has a very good app with loads of other apps for you to download and try. It comes with a nice case which a lot of the others don't. I have recommended them to friends and a few of them have already bought them. You can wear glasses with them but it's tight. They do have adjustments knobs one on the bottom left and one on top for your eyes so you dont really need to wear them.

Had Homido's first headset before, using a Samsung Galaxy S5. This one fixed my only real beef with the first, which was the lack of a capacitive button (which my Cardboard even has). Though it turns out I don't actually need it much. The new version is also a lot wider, which fits my head much better. Also the system for holding the phone is pretty fancy now, and even though my phone’s just average size I’m pretty sure you could cram in a really large phone and it’d work. For me, though, the new phone holding system keeps out almost all extra light. Overall the build quality is legit with a few other new features I like, like the zoom dial. Haven't tried Zeiss or Merge but can't imagine they could be much better.
