The Pansonite VR Headset is not to be sniffed at… it’s a solid option for those looking to buy a budget virtual reality headset. This makes it great for those of you who want to experience VR without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for the best headset under $50 (£37) in 2018 then the Pansonite 3D headset is the one for you. It comes along with a Bluetooth controller, built in headphones and it’ss easy to setup and begin watching VR movies and games right out the box.
Design:
The headset is very well made and allows users to wear for extended periods without it becoming uncomfortable. The leather and sponge padding allow you to jolt your head side to side without having to take it off to wipe the steam from the lenses and maximum comfort. The good ventilation system allows you to play for longer without having to worry about your device overheating or wiping away sweat that’s dripping down your face.
The elastic with sponge padding eases pressure from one spot of your head and distributes it evenly using it’s clever designed T shape headset strap. I have passed this headset around 6+ people before, all who have had no problems adjusting the headset to their heads. It also has adjustable pupil distance and focus distance, which allows you to configure the headset to your requirements to get the best quality image.
Overall a good solid design, that is comfortable to wear and easy to adjust to fit your head. Unlike some VR goggles we’ve tested this one does not steam up or overheat your device when playing on mobile VR apps.
Sound
This mobile VR headset comes with integrated memory foam cushioned headphones that can be adjusted to fit your head. The audio quality is by no means the best but for this price it’s surprisingly good sound. Users can even answer phone calls while their smartphone is in use with the headset by simply pressing a button.
Compatible With:
The Pansonite Headset with remote controller is compatible with the latest Android handsets, iPhones and other recent smartphones with a screen size between 4.0 – 6.0 inches, such as iPhone 5/SE/6/6s/7/7/8/X plus, or Samsung S5, S6, S6 edge, S7,S8,S9 + (edge).
Overall:
The Pansonite VR headset & a compatible phone is all you need to get started with mobile VR. The controller does not work with iPhones, which is the only downside to this headset. If you are hoping to play games with interaction and movement this won’t be a great choice unless you have an Android phone. Otherwise, it’s a really nice product. Great fit, Comfortable to wear, Good quality sound and it’s a fantastic price.
