Great VR headset, by far the best Windows Mixed Reality headset - great for kids too
I caught this unit on a really great sale price, and you cannot beat it for the price. Since this headset allows for eye width adjustment it allows everyone in my family to play! It is also great for fitting on different sized headsds, I have a VERY large head and this fits me and will also get small and tight enough fit my 6 year old and 3 year old daughters, and the eye adjustment is great for them! I mostly have just been playing Steam VR with this headset because Windows Mixed Reality (WMR - Windows name for VR) is supported on Steam. Viveport also supports WMR and has a pretty good subscription based program where you pay monthly and get access to a large amount of games! The visual quality of the Samsung Odyssey + is fantastic, all text in any game or other situations is very clear and that is not something every VR headset can deliver. The tracking has been pretty great as well, and Samsung has done a great job of keeping track of the controllers when out of view of the headset cameras. They keep up with tracking when out of sight by tracking movement and acceleration via blutooth with the controllers (which is built into the headset), so as long as you are not just holding the controller completely still out of site then tracking will still work well, like in beat saber when cutting blocks to the far left or right. I only lost tracking once when holding my lefty controller down by my side and not moving it for a while when I I was using the right controller to mess with settings in a game menu for a bit, and it took a second or 2 of waving the controller in front of me for it to re-calibrate the tracking, but in game this hasn't been an issue because I am almost always holding my hands up a little right below my chest and the headset can track that just fine. The tracking on this headset is MUCH better than the tracking on PSVR as well. I have even had a very good results playing archery games with this headset, occasionally lining up the controllers for a bow shot can get a little wonky but for the most part it works great for those games as well and you learn the one or two positions that can get really bad and you adjust and avoid them, it definitely is not a deal breaker. All in all I would highly suggest this headset over most headsets on the market for the price and all the adjustable settings - unless you are willing to pay for the Valve Index with its amazing headset and base station tracking - but the index is 3 to 4 TIMES more expensive than the odyssey, so I chose the Odyssey and have been very satisfied! ... show more

Got this 4 years ago
Still one of the best. The display is beautiful. The lenses are old fashioned fresnel lenses, which require you to set IPD correctly. Don't try to adjust IPD by what is clearest to you because your eye is constantly changing focus to adjust as you adjust. This can lead to a blurry experience and or severe headaches. The adjustment on this thing is great. Just measure your IPD and set it correctly. Then the sweet spot will be in the right place and your whole field of view should be crystal clear and breathtaking, thanks to the OLED displays. I use this daily for many things over my Quest 2 because of comfort, field of view, and image quality. I did make a homemade velcro strap for the top to balance this correctly on my head and face and it only took me minutes when I got the idea. I already had the spare velcro. Controllers feel good in the hands but need remapping in most Steam games. Tracking is average. That's one area the Quest 2 wins, but tracking is sufficient for most games I play, so I still prefer this headset. It is still one of the best headsets you can buy for the price. I don't know if there are any new ones available anymore. I bought mine new. ... show more

My review for movie watching
This is my first Amazon review, hope those in my similar position will find this review helpful especially considering the sale price and the fact that most of its competition has hit the market. 90% of my VR usage is watching 3D blu-rays in a VR theater. I started off with a GearVR with a Samsung Note 5, then an Oculus Rift CV1, then a Pimax 4k. None of those did the trick and I could rarely get through a movie uninterrupted without taking a break. SDE is probably my biggest pet peeve when it comes to breaking immersion, to the point that I eventually gave up on all my HMDs to collect dust. I also have a projector + 110" screen that's collecting dust as my 65" LG OLED is my main display, meaning that perfect blacks are my 2nd most important criteria, followed by resolution. Right off the bat, the SDE on the O+ is as minimized as you can get without a bump in resolution. The anti-SDE filter has a little bit of a rainbow colored sheen/sparkle though instead which is much less distracting than SDE but may be noticeable to some. The sparkle reminds me of the trick people used to do with the GearVR and using a matte phone screen protector to reduce SDE (which barely worked and introduced the rainbows). Based on "through the lens" videos on YouTube, the only headset on the market that can beat the O+ in SDE is the new HP Reverb with its higher resolution. Main problem is that it's LCD vs OLED and I know that the lack of perfect blacks would annoy me. The Pimax 4K is trash with its black levels so I'm afraid to give LCD a try again, ruling out the HP Reverb. The Pimax 5K XR (OLED) and 8K (LCD) were options as well but at 3 times the price I wanted to give the O+ a try first. I'm not 100% sold on the Samsung, the comfort isn't the best, the sweet spot is rather small (there are no major god rays though thankfully), the sound quality is good but lacks volume or thumping bass and I can't use my better headphones without cutting plastic on the O+, but given the price I am happy with the improvements over the previous gen HMDs and what it offers compared to the pricier Valve Index (LCD). Looking at through the lens videos for the 5K XR shows a weird pixel pattern (plus the wider screen/lower pixel density) which made me feel SDE wouldn't be any better than the Rift CV1 so for now it's getting a pass until they have a sale. Since I'm just sitting in a VR theater I haven't tested the controllers or tracking much, but so far it all works perfectly fine. The build quality of the controllers seem fine despite some negative reviews, feels Xbox One controller quality (which I always felt cheaper than the PS4 controller). SteamVR works just fine even though it's a few hoops to jump through and requires a lot of programs to be running just to play the app I want, but bottom line, it's most definitely worth the sale price of $300 despite the minor downsides. Oculus Quest would be a good option for those without gaming PCs that want OLED as well, but otherwise if you want barely any SDE and OLED this is the smartest option to get. ... show more

Perfect for low-cost VR gaming.
Let me start this review off by saying for the past few months before buying it, I was seriously considering either buying the Valve Index or just waiting for the prices to go down over the Oculus Rift S. After a bit of late night searching to see what kind of alternatives there were for VR headsets, I stumbled upon the Odyssey+. Compared to both the Index and the Rift S at the time, with it being around $388, this was perfect. It was low-cost, I'd seen videos, was a good size, it even had the eye adjustment scroll wheel under the monitors. Needless to say, I bought this the morning after. The shipping was fast, as in, arrived during the same week if I remember correctly. After it arrived, I got straight to messing with it. It makes you draw out your whole room, it took a couple of tries to get it exactly the way I wanted to, but if anything that wasn't a fault of the headset, that was me being picky. After I set it up, to my confusion it started downloading the Windows Mixed Reality software. So a fair warning to other buyers, the WMR headsets won't be able to simply run through SteamVR, they have to start up in the Windows Mixed Reality program first, then you can load up SteamVR through it. It's a bit annoying, but I got used to it a couple times after using it. Now onto the real meat of the review, the performance. I haven't had any serious problems with VR games, at least none that couldn't just be solved with a game restart. Frames through all the games I've played (Beat Saber, Bland & Sorcery, TWD: S&S, Arizona Sunshine, etc.) have stayed at a steady pace and never had a serious drop in frames. The motion detection and sensors on the headset are very accurate, seeing as I haven't had any issues with them yet, however it it very important to keep the controllers within the sight of the cameras/sensors, as when they lose sight of them they begin to glitch out. The picture quality certainly leaves something to be desired, however I got used to it after a while. Whereas the comfort certainly is something I do have to nitpick about. For the first few minutes of putting it on, there was nothing negative to say at all, and to an extent there still isn't. However I do have to say that after maybe somewhere from 1 hour-2 hours during usage the cushion that rests against your forehead does begin to start hurting. Again, you shouldn't necessarily be playing for an extended duration anyway, but I still felt I had to mention this regardless. Also, there is an eye gap adjustment wheel underneath the monitor to align the eye sockets of the headset with your eyes, depend on the width between your eyes, something I find is essential in VR headsets. So I think I'll finish this out by saying that I am very satisfied by the quality of the Odyssey+, even after a couple months of usage. TL;DR - Reasonable cost, decent pixel quality, very little to no light bleed, comfortable, no technical issues, very good for the price. ... show more

It's nice when it works
Pros: The headset was great. It was comfortable, the image was great, the audio equally so, I liked how accurate the controllers were (assuming they weren't behind your face) and for being my first headset, and it was a great introduction to VR. Highly recommended on that front Cons: I never had a good one. At the current date of this review (August 31) I bought a used one on April 22. I loved it, except it would sometimes stop showing the image. It also took about 15 minutes to get it working steadily. I didn't detract too much from the experience, but it was a little annoying when trying to show it off to friends and family and I had to fight the hardware to get it working. Tested it on friend's PC and it behaved the same so I knew it wasn't my computer causing the issue. Thankfully Amazon's return process is really easy and convenient. Bought a second used one May 19th. This time I had pixel issues with the screen for the left eye. There were thin columns of pixels that were showing inverse colors, and it was thick enough that it was a struggle to play games that were dark. Really ruined the immersion. Much appreciation for how Amazon handles their return process After buying used ones I decided to go with a brand new one. I bought that one on May 26. It was the most unplayable headset I've bought. The headset would work for about a couple of minutes, then it would constantly reboot, the screen would go black, sometimes it would even try to flash one of my eyes with a really intense light for a half a second. Couldn't enjoy it at all. So I sent it back to Samsung to see if they could fix it. They took it, replaced some hardware, and sent it back. Still the same issues. I sent it back a second time. Still the same issues. All of this took about a month's time, and after I got it back the third time after Samsung claimed they fixed it, I got tired of fighting the hardware and decided to ask for an exchange. I was thinking if they had a known good one, they can send me that one since I bought one under warranty this time. The attempted repairs beforehand took a lengthy amount of time because it would take about a few days for it to ship, another few days for the technicians to do the repairs, and then once I got it back in my hands it was about a week or so after I would initially send it back to them. However, going through the exchange/ refund process wasn't nearly as quick. Firstly (and the main issue with my experience) the refund and exchange department is only open Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I had a really difficult time on making call backs because I've started well into my work day by 9 in the morning, and by the time I have chances to call (if I even remembered to) it wouldn't be until part way through the day in which case the department had a wait list of callers that at time got up to about 4-6 hours waiting. Highly discouraging. Again, I first wanted an exchange. After a week or two of calling them, they agreed that an exchange will be fine, but they had to check their inventory for one that was in stock. They said they'd call me back. A week or so goes by and they haven't called me back, so I called them (eventually, I had difficulty following up at times. refer to previous paragraph). I felt like they didn't make any progress on their end unless I called their repair and exchange department. I've lost track of how the timeline goes at this point, but what felt like weeks trying to get an exchange, they finally stated that they had none in stock, and they'd offer a refund. I was fine with that since I was pretty much done with Samsung by this point. The catch this time though is the refund had to be approved. Another week and a half goes by waiting to see what the approval was, until I eventually made contact with them again. They said it was approved and had a request ticket made for me to get my check in the mail. So here it is at the end of August after buying my first VR headset in the spring, and I still don't have a working VR headset. I really wanted to like it because I've tried this headset on a friend's set up and I was amazed at how immersive VR is. It seems that if you get a good HMD Odyssey, it will be a great experience. I just couldn't get one that worked right for me for some reason. Not to mention Samsung's inability to properly troubleshoot and diagnose their hardware. It was too discouraging and too time consuming to make me want another one. ... show more

Why is nobody talking about this headset?
So, I recently tried out VR for the first time at a LAN party and was immediately blown away by the experience. Sadly, the entry cost of the "popular" headsets (Rift S, Quest, Vive, etc.) is well beyond my budget. After I searched half the internet for alternatives, a friend recommended Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) to me. Apperently, those headsets were marketed really badly (honestly, what does "Mixed Reality" even mean!?) and therefore their price dropped by 50% even though the Odyssey has the best display (that is remotely affordable), really good sound and ok comfort. Pros: + Display: The "screen door effect" where you can see the borders between pixels is gone, there is just a very fine swirly texture on the display instead which is not annoying in any way + Headphones: Good choice that they partnered up with AKG, the headphones are comfortable and deliver very clean and balanced sound. They isolate the player from their surroundings pretty well but I was still able to notice when someone talked to me loudly + Comfort: The halo-style head strap is padded with foam (not memory foam) and long sessions do not hurt as much as with the Oculus Quest. The Rift is still more comfortable than the Odyssey. + WMR + SteamVR: The WMR platform is honestly amazing. You can tell Cortana to open your favourite DESKTOP apps and they will float in front of you, follow you or hang on a wall in your home menu (which is a literal home)/house. You can also take these windows with you into VR apps/games. This all works flawlessly! And of course, there is official SteamVR integration (a bit tricky to set up but once done, it works flawlessly every time) so you can play basically any VR game out there with no compatibility issues whatsoever. Cons: - Lenses: Although the Odyssey has an amazing display, the lenses are vastly inferior to those of the Oculus Quest. If you adjust the headset until you find the sweet spot, then this point is no problem at all and you can read every corner of the display clearly. Too dumb that it took me 7 days to find that spot. Also, for me at least, when I hit the sweet spot of the lenses, the headset is in a slightly uncomfortable position and puts pressure on my forehead (varies from person to person!) - No tilt adjustment: This goes hand in hand with the lenses and comfort points as a mechanism that lets you tilt the display relative to the head strap (like many other headsets have it) makes it easier to find a comfortable fit with a sharp image - Tracking: The tracking is good enough. You can play beat saber levels on expert(+) without too many problems. But you need to be mindful about where to hold your controllers, you should never leave them behind your head for too long, you should not raise them too high, not too low, etc. In all those cases, the headset cannot track the controllers until they return into its field of view. On the other hand, the latency is pretty good and not really noticeable. Neutral: * Controllers: The Oculus controllers are better but these are still very comfortable and work without a problem. However, they are much heavier than the Oculus controllers (making Beat Saber a bit harder to play as you really need to grab onto the controllers in order for them to not fly away!) and the vibration motors feel relatively cheap/slow/sloppy. Verdict: I can DEFINITELY recommend this headset, especially for the price of ~$230 I got it for. If my budget had been $400 it would have been a tough decision whether to pick the Rift S or the Odyssey. ... show more

Customer service is terrible
I would first off like to say that the headset itself was amazing up until the first month when the controller started to malfunction. Now if this happens to you, get ready to be put ob hold and be transfers at least 15 times before you even get minimal information on what is happening with your case when you call Samsung support. They don't seem to have a clue on what department handles it. They give you quite a runaround. Lucky for my I have the patience to sit there for 5+ hours in order to get in touch with someone who can actually help me. Been about two weeks since I sent in my product to be repaired and have been in constant contact with them because I want them to know I won't give in to their "easiest option". Still being sent to every department they have and sitting on the line for hours finding that one person who can help. This has been the worst customer service experience I have had in my life. EDIT: So after about two and a half weeks I think they folded and are sending me a new unit. Had one person who knew exactly what my product was and how they could help me. Thank god for this person. But I again warn about the *TWO AND A HALF WEEKS* of constant contact with them and being given the runaround/lack of knowledge about what department handles it. Average time on the phone was about 3.5 hours per phone call. (about 2 hours on hold). EDIT**: Still waiting on the unit. Been told three times that I should get it by the end of the week (3 different calls on three different weeks) and still nothing. Today they sent me another refund offer, but again I refused stating that we were backtracking. I feel really bad for their employees who they leave in the dark on different departments for customer service. Still waiting for them to get a stock in of the device (2 months later) and just looking at the Samsung website (stating that I could get it sent to me by friday this week, 2/28/2020) and amazon which seems to have a little stock still. I still would not recommend anyone getting any VR headset from Samsung. Try and find a better alternative with a company that knows what they are doing in the VR field. ... show more

Windows Mixed Reality is BETTER than people think.
This headset is sweet. The tracking on the controllers is quite good, everything feels good quality. Comfort is good, but you can elevate it to excellent comfort by purchasing a nice leather VR headset cover and replacing the cloth one on the headset. Just makes it easier to clean and helps you keep cooler, and gives a better cushion feel. A huge plus with this headset over more expensive ones is that despite being half the price of the Index and Vive Pro, the display on this headset is as good as, and sometimes even better, than those headsets. Of course, it's Samsung we're talking about, Samsung's displays on every product have been the absolute peak top tier since the early 2000's at this point. The controllers use 2 AA batteries each, and will drain through them in under 6 hours, so you should seriously consider getting a 4-slot AA battery recharger and an 8 pack of rechargable AA's. You can get these on Amazon but also find them in various stores in isles that sell batteries. People complain about Windows Mixed Reality (WMR), but I haven't had any troubles with it besides it sometimes not saving my room boundary setting, which takes all of 30 seconds to re-setup. WMR is a nice way to create a hub to launch all your VR apps and games directly from the headset, and allows you to quickly view and interact with your desktop without ever taking the headset off. It's not perfect, and it can be a bit of a pain every so often, but most of the time I find it to be a pretty nice addition that just adds a lot to this headset. Now, this headset used to go on sale for $300-$350 very often. If you're just looking for a headset that you'll pick up in the future, then definitely wait for now, because it's very obvious (as of June 2020) to anyone looking for VR headsets on Amazon or elsewhere that there's no stock for anything anywhere that isn't used. That being said, this is pretty much the only headset for PC gaming on Amazon that's ever in stock in the past month, and who knows how long the stock will last, so if you can't wait and want VR NOW, then get it, it's worth the $500 even if you could have saved some money in the long run. ... show more
