Like all the previous Gear VRs, the new model is not a standalone headset - it's essentially a VR viewer for your phone sort of a fancier version of Google's Cardboard, if you will. Plus, the Gear VR has a focus wheel at the top so you can easily adjust the focus to match your eyesight. That said, if you have a relatively lightweight prescription, you might want to go without your glasses entirely for additional comfort. Another upside is that new Gear VR also easily accommodates most glasses - I was able to wear mine without too much shifting around. The soft foam padding around the eyes and the nose bridge makes the fit very comfortable (My discomfort came from nausea instead more on that later). ![]() The fit, by the way, is pretty excellent. The top strap is technically optional, but I liked having it on for a more secure fit. All you do is strap the headset to your head with a couple of elasticized Velcro straps - one around the back of your head and the other around the top - and you're ready to go. This not only reduces the headset's overall weight, but makes it far less cumbersome to put on. The previous models had chunky white plastic around the head straps while the current model has none. Samsung says it's about 19 percent lighter, and I definitely feel it. But every iteration of the Gear VR has been more lightweight than the last, and the new consumer-ready version is no exception. Samsung never made any pretensions that the Gear VR would be small and portable - it's always been a rather large headset that looks like you have a giant pair of ski goggles strapped on your face. ![]()
