"The Gawk" isnt good look, but the headsets also look cumbersome, geeky and uncomfortable for long-term use. Maybe they are the most comfortable thing in the world, but they dont look it. You wont get my dad or my gran strapping one to their faces that's for sure.</p>
<p>I take Adeons point, but it doesnt matter how good it looks on the other side if you cant convince people beyond geekdom to try it because it looks like a cross between an Iphone and a facehugger.</p>Adeon Writer commented on 'Samsung Gear VR Review: Simple, Seductive, Scalable'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d0f15da0970c2015-03-21T02:11:58Z2015-03-21T02:11:58ZAdeon Writer@Hamlet: http://i0.wp.com/cdn.bgr.com/2014/03/white-guy-oculus-rift.jpg We've all been there.<p>@Hamlet: <a href="http://i0.wp.com/cdn.bgr.com/2014/03/white-guy-oculus-rift.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i0.wp.com/cdn.bgr.com/2014/03/white-guy-oculus-rift.jpg</a></p>

<p>No doubt!

<p>Nothing personal, but everyone I see with these headsets on looks terrible. I really cant picture anyone wearing these for long periods of time in the home.</p>Kitty Revolver commented on 'Samsung Gear VR Review: Simple, Seductive, Scalable'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c76717e9970b2015-03-20T05:38:02Z2015-03-20T05:38:02ZKitty Revolverhttp://thescholarsrobes.tumblr.comwhat is the battery life on the note 4?
