★★☆☆☆
Amazing quality but extremely uncomfortable...
Pros- Fantastic quality. I mean, for how much it costs, this thing is made very very well. It comes with a travel pouch and the materials are all extremely nice. The image quality really depends on your phone but its exceptionally clear and you really dont get much of a feeling that you're using a phone's screen while using it.
However...
Cons- The lens adjustment is not good. Like, at all. You can adjust your phone pretty well within the headset to get the screen lined up perfectly, but the lens adjustment for your eyes just isnt good. Its the only reason why this is a 2-star review and not 5.
Basically, the way that it sits on your face (depending on your face type) the picture is out of focus because of how high the lens are in relation to the center of your eyes. Considering the nature of this product, there should have been an adjustment for the lenses to go up and down as well.
To counteract the problem, I have to move the headset further down on my face/nose, but then the hard plastic hits my nose and it becomes EXTREMELY uncomfortable to use. I could put padding in the nose area but it would
make the problem even worse since the lens would be even higher than it was before.
To add to that, the pupil adjustment isnt very well designed either. It doesn't have fine tuning to stay in the same spot as you set it, and I feel as if there could have been a little more room for adjustment.
I'm definitely going to see if I can adjust it better to where it doesn't hurt my nose but beyond that major flaw, this is a very nice headset. If it wasnt made so well I would have honestly given this 1 star because of how uncomfortable it is but I'm big on quality and I was very surprised at how nice it was.
Update: after further use, I can say that this is truly uncomfortable to use. I have tried adjusting the head straps to have the weight more on my head than my nose but I still have to pull it down to have the lens centered. In addition to that, a lot of apps still dont support the V4 (the V3 is supported) and the adjustment for pupil distance always goes back to to the center after some use and wont stay put so you have to figure out a way to keep it there.
Im going to give it one last shot and see if I can do anything else to make this better but it seems like more trouble than its worth at this point.
I can't say this won't be a fantastic product for other people, but for me, and my face type (pretty normal) its very uncomfortable to use.
TL;DR - Amazing quality and fantastic for the right face type, but absolutely terrible and extremely uncomfortable to use otherwise.
