A little word of advice, do not and I cannot stress this enough! DO NOT use noise cancelling headphones while watching porn, oh and lock your door!

[@TampaTec]

great review, liked and subbed. i bought mines with motion controller even though headset works without, just wish it was rechargeable like google daydream controller.

[@TKBay]

Me too, makes No sense that they copied the daydream controller and skipped that feature. Glad to have on board sir

[@R.E.HILL_]

Excellently explained that S9+ among others, do fit and work with gear vr....

[@BoopSnoot]

Are you sure you put in the S9 properly? The Gear VR has two spacing, position A for large phones like the S9+ and Note 8, and a position B for smaller phones, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be used with the S9.

[@duncs001]

so true, otherwise the Gear VR with a S9 doesn't work properly ;-)

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

Also, the gear VR remote is only $17 on amazon. I purchased the 2016 gear, which other than the front cover being shiny on the newer one, is absolutely identical to the 2017 Gear VR. I then purchased the remote separately, and saved myself over $70, and it works exactly like the 2017 model. There truly is no difference, and you save a good chunk of money.

[@TKBay]

Good. Deal.

[@Barttoocool]

I love you bro, thanks a lot for doing this, no one else would

[@ultiadsresources8617]

Samsung Gear VR w/Controller (2017) SM-R325NZVAXAR (US Version w/Warranty) got that on your Amazon link .. for my s9+ .. it did not WORK! i need a VR for my S9+

[@soggyfries4347]

S9+ still a formidable device in late 2020.

[@StarmenRock]

I have one and its godamn good man. Its better than most mid and high end phones that are around in 2020. Here in Brazil, where people keep buying shitty cheap Motorolas and xiaomis it really makes a difference. Same price as a moto g9 plus and infinitely better

[@carlosmagno845]

best ever cheers man

[@marcusm5127]

You need to move the connection to B when you use the smaller phone to get it in the middle of the lenses. Don't worry it took me months to find so you are not alone.

[@TKBay]

Thank you for the tip

[@sanch2741]

I can't get you. Pl elaborate

Just bought the 2016 Headset and the separate remote. They are about $40 total now. $25 headset/ $15 remote. Super cheap way to get into VR, if you already have the phone... Spent all weekend playing around. Great review. Thanks.

[@TKBay]

nice, great way to save

which phone?

I'm buying an galaxy s8 and the seller is throwing the headset and controller with it. I wear glasses so I know I won't enjoy it fully(need my glasses all the time) I'm just hoping I don't get headaches!.. subcribed

[@siru1988]

does the GEARVR323 works with my Galaxy s9+?

[@dafnenefertitiuicabchan880]

So the R324 its compatible with my samsung s9 plus?

[@RedDragon814]

The galaxy s8 and s9 fit perfectly without needing to push it in perfectly. The usb c connector has position A and B. One is for the + models and the other is for the regular ones.

[@TKBay]

exactly.

[@RedDragon814]

TK Bay I had to say something because I scared myself half to death when the spring... finger... thing... the one that doesn't have the usb c on it, landed on my phone instead of over it. It hit hard and thought it might have cracked my phone. I got lucky and wanted to make sure others didn't do the same.

[@TKBay]

thank you

[@RedDragon814]

TK Bay Thank you for a great and informative video

[@rayngrace]

will the S9 work with the SM-R324 with Remote? Thanks for the review.

[@TKBay]

should work as long as you extend the connector to the back

[@henriquefjardim]

Hi. Great video and explanations. Do S9 works with GearVr model sm-323? I saw in the video that fits but it works?

[@stechy1]

Tbm estou nessa duvida mano eai comprou e ele coube ??

[@racku2]

Tenho um S9+ e estou na dúvida também. Vou arriscar e comprar um adaptador type C pro meu SM-323.

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

Has anyone noticed any issues using the Gear VR with the S9 or S9+ as far as battery drain or phone overheating? This was a huge problem with the S7 and S7 Edge. Batter drains in like an hour of use, and phone kept overheating. Hoping they aren't having the same issue with the S9's.

[@TKBay]

They get warm but not super hot. For gaming it will be warmer for. Movie watching no so much. As you have to much power draw.

[@Brenbearr]

How come yours has the strap thing that goes on the too of your head but the other ones don't

[@vforvendetta4843]

How much S9 image is better for VR than S9+ in terms of pixel density? I know the figures (570 and 530) the question is about what eyes feel

[@TKBay]

The quality is the same for both when in VR , I tried them and did not see a night and day difference, I would say because of the view finder you get the same field of view

[@vforvendetta4843]

TK Bay ok thanks, another question, amoled is worse for vr than lcd?

[@TKBay]

Most VR is AMOLED lcd is not used for VR in general.

[@gulammohammadshahinakhan]

Wow the amazing 🔥 Ye to bhut hi accha h 🔥 the Great video Sir 🔥

[@513blah]

Excellent vid!.. I have a S6 with the first production run of the gear VR. I've have used to have problems with the phone overheating during use and shutting down. I ended up solving this with a 3rd party fan attachment. I'm considering upgrading to the S9+ and am wondering if the overheating issue has been solved. Have you had any overheating issues with the S9+?

[@TKBay]

Overheating has been solved but it still gets a bit warm. But 45 mintue to an hour no issues for me.

[@SimonRichards921]

Does this vr support KZbin?

[@TKBay]

Yes

[@محمدمسعد-ك4ق]

‎Software Update Required‎ ‎The software on your headset needs to be updated. Go to Settings, select System Update, then select Download to update your headset.‎ OK

Can you give me a Model number? The micro USB model will not work.

If I use this goggles with my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus will it overheat the reason I ask is because I used LG G3 my phone was overheat

[@AbdulMueez-ud5mc]

Hey thanks v informative video but im facing issue regarding oculus log in it shows unsupported post error while logging in csn you help me out.

[@AbdulqaderVaid]

Hey I have S7 edge VR, can I use it for S9? I know that the USB connectors are different on both the devices but is any thing we can do?

[@TKBay]

sadly no uption to upgrade your unit as the tip that connects them together is none replaceable

[@bobbypuopolo954]

Hey this is bobby i need help with my gear vr and I bought the remote for it and i will be buying Samsung galaxy s8

[@nw4538]

Very informative and helpful! I’ll probably buy one soon!

[@iammrcarter5099]

Sigh the video was to short I wanted to see more games, Netflix and such but a great review

[@okanlawonajuju2681]

TK bay good job. please help me out . i m using s9+ and my VR sm-R 325 isnt connecting to it . my port sees my computer when connected to it . do i buy another lower version of VR?

[@TKBay]

is the adapter on the gear vr locked in ?

[@hamidawan3880]

every time I plug in my phone in fear gr screen start showing opposite side to me anyone know what's the reason and how to fix

[@juneru2]

the gear vr is great as it is, but it needs a major upgrade to compete with the daydream 2, and the self-functioning headsets to come. i think samsung should make the next gear vr smaller, lighter, have little to no software issues (motion blur, drifting, etc.) and with bigger lenses. everything else is perfect.

[@TKBay]

I hope they do that for the next one.

[@ranaafaq9498]

What is difference between Samsung gear vr made by Samsung or made in Vietnam ?

[@Lost_buddy]

So we can use SM-R324 version on Galaxy S9+ without any problems, right ?

[@TKBay]

Yes no issues

[@HIIMUsc]

CRINGE, why do you not slide the USB C Port to the mid? so that the smaller devices fit perfectly... my S6 Edge fits perfectly in the mid with all airgaps being the sane size, not 1 inch at the right and 0.3 inches at the left... Anyways nice vid. even my LG G6 fits into the Gear VR which is funny :D

[@TKBay]

Oh man that is funny, wish we can get the oculus app to work with other devices

[@kailaslaopaiboonsin3212]

Samsung A 8 2018, which year can I use the Gear vr model

[@TKBay]

I would get the latest as they don't make it anymore.

[@kj3rd2657]

How come there are not any two controllers to play yet? Some vr flying plane games can't play, because the hand controller point icon is not showing on the screen to work the plane controllers.

[@TKBay]

Not sure , but they are not making this unit anymore it seems as well.so the likely hood of a dual controller might now happen on this system

[@ayazahmad5766]

can you please give a demo for Samsung Gear VR With Controller Review And Game Play On with Note9

[@karimk2873]

I have the gear vr r323 edition but I am afraid to use it with my s9+, I am afraid to broke it because Samsung officially recommend to use the gear vr r325 for s9+. Can you explain me why Samsung recommend the r325 ? Thank you in advance, great video !

[@calantj110]

What's the SM-R323 Gear VR version like with the Samsung S9 in terms of battery life, does it drain fast and if so, how long can you really play on the headset before the device either overheats or shuts off?

[@TKBay]

The battery drains is faster as the display was on for a longer time. But you can charge it at the same time.

[@salsaucy2547]

Can I stream to either Twitch or KZbin using the livestream option or is Facebook Live the only choice I get?

[@TKBay]

right now only facebook is listed they might have more coming in the future, and screen recording is limited to certain apps ATM

[@whitenoise8801]

Are there gonna be like two separate videos playing for both eyes ..just asking??

[@TKBay]

For the most part it's the same video just played to each I separately

[@sharkelosriley8835]

is this great or just hype? are the games good? movie experience somebody rate them for me before i buy.

[@TKBay]

this is not an oculus so for 89 dollars I would say the games are 5/10 watching movies I would say 7/10 experience.

[@ZanghFei]

Hey guys, I wonder if the Gear VR 2016 with USB-C work with S8 plus? I checked on google and official website. It didnt help.

[@TKBay]

that will work

[@tonyandjill100]

Do you know if the USB port is for charging only or does it carry data to the phone also? I'm wondering if i can use it to bring in an external video feed.

[@TKBay]

only charging, not data transfer during usage as your phone does not prompt you to select file transfer or any other mode

[@virus5p518]

Does it over heat and make u turn it off till the phone cools off tho ?????

Does it fit for Samsung Galaxy A70

does it work with lgk 51 pones that are 6.5 inches

[@dnai659]

Hello, can i connect with PC using USB-C or other connectors? My main goal is play PC games with Gear VR without internet.

[@TKBay]

This system does not work with a pc. It's made to be mobile and only works with the oculus store.

[@dnai659]

Ok. Thanks for answer. I thought USB Type C is powerful enough to connect with PC :(

[@TKBay]

it is but the gear VR wont communicate with the PC

i have an s9+ and the version of the vr that i have is sm-r324 is gonna work right ?

[@Azamalol]

Is there a difference if you use a S9 or S9+? I must buy a new phone to use this Samsung VR. Which one should i get? Thanks

[@TKBay]

Get rhe plus because of the battery and larger display

[@lalitmaster6021]

Azama you get smaller battery capacity on the s9, so get the S9+ 👍👍👍😊😊😊

[@TKBay]

Definitely

[@chrisw7451]

Does it also take the s10plus alot ppl say does and others not sure

[@pumpkinheadghoul]

The A/B setting on the front of the headset is supposed to be set to B for the smaller S9, and set to A for the larger S9+. That's why you think you had to guide the locking mechanism into place, for the S9, because you had it on the wrong setting. Changing that setting moves the connector closet on the B setting. They aren't "channels" as you referred to them, but rather adjustments to fit the size of the phone you're using.

[@TKBay]

Oh okay

[@duncs001]

This is certainly important to know. Otherwise, the Gear VR doesn't work correctly with an S9. The guy on the video should've inserted the S9 correctly.

[@jokerka5443]

It support samsung a71 6.7 inches

[@abirreroubah]

Hi I have s9+ that won't connect to the application of the vr gear why is that everything is set as and ready but I can't connect the phone to the app 😭

[@tylorneace5324]

I have the Zagg wet HD clear screen protector. I'm assuming this will affect the resolution?

[@TKBay]

It will a little yes

[@gregorythanopoulos2705]

I don't know how you got it to work but when I used my friend's s9+ into my Gear VR 323 it appears that it recognized it as an Oculus Go and I was only able to browse apps but there was no "taskbar" where the Library, Store and the other tabs were. Whenever I was trying to choose an app it would say I should calibrate my Oculus Go first. Also, on the right side I could see some mirroring of the phone's display.

[@fhehle]

Good job on the review. Thanks.

[@myoriginalname]

I find the oculus browser that comes with the oculus app way better than the samsung vr browser. Text looks sharper and video playback runs smoothly. Accesing tabs and resetting the view is also simpler on the oculus browser. It just works better in every aspect.

They do get warm with heavy gaming, video not so much

[@andrewdelacruz9685]

I tried the older model with my s7 edge model and it made my battery drain like crazy even after I took off the vr. I'm kinda sceptical about trying this newer model with my s9 plus but if you guys know anything about this plz let me know👌👍

[@TKBay]

the hardware does not affect how the phone battery will drain thats software. make sure you update the latest version of the app first

[@v-fgamer6941]

Same here my s7 overheated and drained..it should be fixed with the new one tough.

[@1978rayking]

Eye tracking headset next Samsung can compete with Sony

[@TKBay]

Hope to see that soon

[@AL-HD]

there is a Cnet article saying: if using an older model gear VR on S9 it will break it!. watsup with that!?

[@TKBay]

Samsung recommends you buy the newer Gear VR every year. I mention that its a tight fit but not enough to break your phone. I say if you have an older one try it before you spend $100 on a new one

[@AL-HD]

TK Bay i don't have one i want to buy one for my S9 "not the plus version". There is a big difference in price between the R323 and the newest models . Do you recommend to get the r323 (30€)for S9? Or should I pay more "around 70€" and get the newest model?

[@TKBay]

That one should be fine yes as long as you don't think you might get a bigger model down the road.

[@AL-HD]

TK Bay thanks :)

[@29shreekant]

Can i use my S9+ with this gear VR when it in UAG case? Or Do I have to remove my phone from cover every time?

[@blendpinexus1416]

with the normal s9 you actually need to move the connector to the other position to center the phone correctly over the lenses. the s9+ needs the larger area though so a little thing to watch out for
