Virtoba X5 VR BOX can beat Samsung Gear VR 2 ? - Device Reviews and Information

As is known to all, Samsung Gear VR is quite hot and popular, right now i want to share a VR BOX which is named Virtoba X5 VR BOX. But as you know, Gear VR is sold at $99 which is very cheap for most users. But Some of them think it’s still high and expensive in terms of price to compete with Chinese VR headset. Virtoba X5 VR BOX has 120 Degrees FOV for more immersive 3D gaming and video experience. Most importantly, it sells very cheap for most users.
Check Virtoba X5 main features:
120 Degrees FOV for more immersive 3D gaming and video experience
Focus/dipterous adjustment function to adapt the VR headset to your eyes
Equipped with headphone, so that you do not have to worry about the sound
Flexible and adjustable head band
With foam cushion to alleviate pressure against your nose
Customized for*4.0 - 6.0 inches smartphones
Therefore, can you make the comparison between Virtoba X5 vr box and Samsung Gear VR?

Yeah, it's getting pretty mainstream. I have a similar cheaper headset but this one looks better, mostly cause of the earphones and controller.

Not really, no. But there isn't much to know about it. Get your smartphone inside and you're ready to go!

Has anyone actually bought it? I'm interested but I'd like to hear your opinion. For the price it can't disappoint too much.

Just ordered one from amazon uk https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01CEBKXJK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Planning to use it combination with Trinus Vr and Nexus 6 (QHD res),for Pc games

Got my Virtoba X5
Got my Virtoba X5 today, it's really well build and has the best lenses i experienced so far.
Had a Color Cross before and it's really night and day when u compare both.
Btw there is no blutooth for the headset, there is a headphonehack build-in the glasses which u can put in your phone.
On the bottom u have a volume controller so u can set the volume higher or lower without struggle.
I think u can compare it with the Samsung Gear, maybe it's even better, really comfortable and the weight is also really well balanced because of the headphones.
Really happy with it!
If u have any questions or more pic's just ask

No the picture is really amazing, you dont see anything of the housing when loooking through the lenses.
But i also use a Nexus 6, 6 inch phone with QHD resolution, which is really important for a good VR experience.
Together with the headphones, you totally forget that you are using a phone.

BEATS audio in ear headphone with s2?

Is beats audio in ear headphones good?iam planning to get one !for s2?how is it with s2 is it advisable to buy one ..?
In my personal experience, they're rather overpriced and are just there to look pretty. As well as that, sound quality is only really worthwhile at the studio's level, and even then they're way overpriced.
If you want proper sound quality, I'd recommend a pair of in-ear buds from either Sennheiser or Sony's. They generally have well balanced and high quality sound for their price.
I'd tend to agree with them being over priced, though if you like very bass heavy headphones you may prefer them
Personally in that price range I would go for Etymotic, Ultimate Ears or Klipsch products as the bass isn't overdone (if I want more that's what the eq controls are for)
For Sennheiser I have found the failure rate to be a bit high (and there's so may fakes out there you have to be careful when buying them)
However headphones are a very personal thing
Don't buy them, not only are you falling into that social group of "beats heads" who in my opinion are fools, you are also paying silly money for hyped up artist names painted on them. Oh and they're made by monster, and there have been plenty of stories how their products contain so much fancy stuff but the same job can be done with entry level parts (see monster audio cables no different to wire coat hanger)
Oh and I work in electrical retail and I see a lot of these things come back with faulty drivers
thank you guys for your suggestions i guess will stick on to stock samsung headphones then
I gave my stock samsung one's to my mother for her mp3, Work was nice to give us Christmas gifts each year, I picked Sennhesier CX300II's and they work brilliantly, they've lasted a long time too, generally in the past i've found some earphones get destroyed by me either tangling them all the time in my pocket, or wear and tear.

You could have a look around the forum various sound enhancing apps and fixes posted .
Basic problem is if you like boom boom bass music you need to buy a different phone or a Ghetto Blaster add on .
jje
Sennheiser FTW...got my first CX300 5 years ago...recently got CX300 II...still just as good as ever!
Ive tried the Beats...and as heavily advertised and marketed by just about every single artist...they are just selling them to you for the brand and looks...which is why I love Sennheiser...they are just headphones. period. damn good ones too!

try Skull Candy...
relatively cheap, decent audio and very long lasting. mine are two years old and have survived a trip through both the washing machine and the dryer... pretty durable for $35AUD...

A common review of the Skullsz often says broke within a few months though sound quality good for the low price .
Any views on that ??
jje
Depends on the model, probably. I have had a Titanium pair which lasted close to 3 years, with a lot of travel and abuse. So I got another pair of Titaniums (the sound quality seems to be a bit poorer compared to the previous one, but still good enough for the price).
I am using Nu Force ones, but recently ordered a-Jays One+ Earphones, still waiting .
Why are you guys hating so much on the beats? I know that they are mainstream now but that doesn't mean that they are that bad... The most important thing is that you got to enjoy what you buy if he wants to buy the beats let him... They got the best warranty ever even if they break you call them they send you a brand new box even if you used them for 1 year... I exchanged mine twice and no question asked each time... You pay for what you get in the end. Btw skullcandy has one of the worst build quality ever at least on the headphone version not the little earbuds the headband keeps breaking + cable problems every month if you buy them make sure to buy the extended warranty.
As I have said before on here, Beats are for people who's desire for 'image' outweighs their knowledge of audio equipment. Beats are overpriced and overrated -- you're much better going for a decent set of Shures, as a direct price comparison they're much better both in terms of value for money and dynamics, and have better build quality.

Thank you, this actually shows how overpriced they are if they can afford to give out 3 pairs for the same price
Love hate for Skullcandy, Had a pair of inear ones which I loved the sound was good no crackling and great bass, but they died within a year
I have had two pairs of Sennies one which broke shortly after a trip through the washing machine (it was a sad day) Then I got a pair of CX400II's which have an inline volume control that isnt too bad but when adjusting it slightly it messes up the balance making one earpiece louder than the other. +1 for a cable tidy and carry pouch as well
I want to get a new pair either with noise cancelling or an inline microphone, when these either break or I lose them.
The Stock ones were pants, lacked depth and sounded cheap, can't expect too much really not like I have a 400 quid phone or anything
Beats? LOL!
They claim to be the best headphones in the world but it's only marketing so they can sell them overpriced! They don't even say their specs!
If you want to ear something really good, buy sennheiser headphones/earphones.
Beats are overhyped.
Sennheiser or Skullcandy are imho the best in-ears available.

Gameklip PS3 platorm adapter to hold your phone:mini review video

I got this yesterday and I really like it.
Makes me want to game more on my phone now!
Its a quick video but I hope you like it!
Regards
I don't like the GameKlip because of:
-The connection between the clip to the controller isn't tight enough
-The piece is not universal
-The device sticks a little too high, should be angled more carefully
-(and finally) its a stolen idea (can't help myself)
Check out the Andraxis Project:
-Its original
(we had the idea to make a connector between phone and PS3 controller to use SIXAXIS App)
-Its universal
-Clip to controller is stronger connected
-Developer is honest, but broke, but active with the project
Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476571
I just wished I had a few weeks and $10,000 to blow. We could get a better design with an adjustable arm (like your car-phone holders) and we could get it from a Plastics Company in China. That way its much more durable (than Andraxis or GameKlip) and costs cheaper too ($5 each). Actually sounds like a perfect thing for Kickstarter!
Im really sorry for you that they stole your idea. I saw it on some Android news website and thought to myself and wondered if you just changed the name from Andraxis to Gameklip. I didnt even think about it that someone would actually steal such an idea... Thats just a shame.

I don't mind.
Afterall, I did make the .stl (that's the 3D model) publicly available.
I just wished if someone did pick up this project (I'm working fulltime, parttime study, and got to do normal chores/left home) however that they would improve it.
His implementation isn't the type of quality I had in mind, I want to ensure maximum connection between your expensive device and the controller. I also want it to be universal because lets face it, Android devices come in all shapes and sizes.
Anyways, I'll leave you guys with a picture of the fun times we had:

No you're alright.
What I mean is that, the bottom clip doesn't cover enough surface area of the top.
That's my honest opinion. This leaves it vulnerable to "pop out" if its bumped, like lets say on a train.
The angle is fine, and he's dedicated a lot of space your the shoulder buttons. However, I think its a little "too much" space. He should've pushed it backwards a little to make it easier to access the /_\ button and keeping the unit more compact.
My biggest gripe is that it isn't universal. Why he chose to go with that, beats me.
And he's encouraging people to buy it for non-compatible devices and just apply Scoth Tape... what if doesn't work, the customer would be unhappy, and he's unwilling to refund them.
Yeah I wish it was for multiple phones or adjustable so I could use it with my case for sure.

MEElectronics Sport Fi S6P

So my favorite sport IE just got better! The company just made some new ones with built in controls and mic! Not to mention the sick new color combination which I'm really digging! Awesome sound and crazy sound isolation make these great for the gym! All this plus a few more neat things make these a definite win. Here's a write up on these cool IE's that continue to amaze me.
MSRP: 59.99
In Box Contents: IE buds, extension cable, armband, plenty of tips in different sizes, manual, carrying case, and two shirt clips!

Look:
New color combination for these guys and it couldn't be any better - green and black! They scream workout every time I see them. Really vibrant green color is very attractive and yet they look like refined. Definite win here!
Fit:
As is customary from MEELECTRONICS fit will never be an issue. These come with loads of tips in all styles as shown in the pictures. Small medium large - single double triple - you'll find something that fits you. Now here's possibly one of my favorite features here - memory wire. This feature allows you to custom for the IEs around your ear and they'll keep that shape until you decide to change it. This makes them awesome for everything sport! You can run as fast as you want and jump as high as you can, they're staying! The pictures will show what I mean.
Durability:
I am finishing up my second week of using these guys working out everyday at least 1hr. They are marketed for sport and being sweat resistant. I have ruined several headphones due to sweat - I sweat buckets - but these are still going! I haven't noticed any problems on either the headphones or the remote even after many hours of sweat pouring on them. Gotta say I'm impressed!
Sound:
Beautiful! I love it. Are they studio monitor quality ? No lol and they're not intended to be. Are they the best sport IEs I've tried? Definitely! They give me good bass and very clear sound! After burn in period the sound got progressively better and clearer. Crazy sound isolation!!!! This is probably what makes the music sound even better. I like the sound on these better than my bose or my Sennhesier sports. Phone calls were very clear both ways although not as clear as earpiece. Mic was the same as talking on the phone as reported by people I called.
Major plus here was the cable being pretty silent compared to other IE buds. Cable noise drives me crazy!! Thankfully these didn't have that problem.
IMPORTANT!!!
Crazy sound isolation! That's a huge deal when you're in noisy environments and want to get away from the noise BUT it can be an issue if you're running out in the street with traffic so just a heads up! They're awesome at gym since its crazy noisy there and they have horrible taste in music lol great for studying at the library also even without anything playing
Only bad thing I can say is that I pushed the pause button a few times on some machines but that was my fault for not clipping them right. Also I pulled out the extension a few times but again I had them unclipped and was being careless. While using the armband (which you should if you're working out anyways) they're problem free .
By the way the armband is pretty cool. You can use the touch screen but it's still protected. In was able to fit my gs3, iPhone 5, and gs4 pretty well so that works out perfect.
These look great! But do you know of any workout buds WITHOUT isolation? I need some for biking near city traffic.

Any IEH (in ear headphones) will have a passive noise isolation due to a ear tip sealing. That improves the sound quality, especially for low end (bass) and keeps these from falling out of your ears. When you are dealing with active noise isolation, that's a different story. But with these, playing around with different ear tips might let "more" sound in. On a contrary, some people actually get Comply Foam tips to increase sound isolation and improve the fitment
Right, i understand all that. I guess I'm looking for something that doesn't go down into the canal. Right now i have some sennheiser/adidas earhooks that are perfect except they kill my turgis' after 30min

Sony SBH60 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

I very quickly got sick of the standard Sony MH750 headset. No volume control and probably the worst cable I've ever had on in-ears.
So I decided to shop around and came across this BT headset:

Couldn't really find any reviews but I decided to take a chance and I've just placed an order. Should receive it in a week or so.
Anybody tried out this set yet?
Well I chose sbh20 instead. Hope you'll like it.
Thanks. I'll definitely post back once I receive them
How are you liking the SBH20?

Definitely would buy again! It's like having Shuffle (small, easy to use, great audio quality, changeable headphones, and bonus - mic for calls) and music list with equalizer at once!
I bike, ski, workout and going to boring meetings with them. I bet it's difficult to use shb60 and helmet together
The SBH60 finally arrived today after some delays with the shipping process.
The unit is nice and light and the sound quality is very good. Pairing with NFC is super easy.
Call quality is good considering the mic placement.
Reported battery life is great (13 hours).
I'll have to use the pair for a couple of days before I can really come to a conclusion but so far I'm happy with my purchase
Hi,
I got this headset with my contract here in SA, its really decent plays nice and clear with a good amount of base. The quality is good too feels well built but nice and light.
What I was really surprised about was the battery, I do not find myself charging it often and the range is superb! Can walk outside the house and can still connect to the phone inside without effort.
All in all, a really great headset as a just above entry and just below premium. I got all rounder I would say... very pleased with it :good:

Ah, I didn't know they started supplying these headsets in SA now. I imported both my Z3c and headset.
I agree with all your comments. Definitely good value for money.
A couple of days later and I can't say that I have any complaints. I'm really happy with my first attempt at cutting the cord
Battery life is excellent. Extremely comfortable for an on the ear design. Sound is great and headset works as it should.
Does everything I need at a reasonable price.

Yeah we not that far behind in tech here in SA, only issue is we get the main goods, accessories are very hard to get hold of locally if it's new stuff.
I cannot find local stores stocking the magnetic chargers and docks, and shipping costs to SA isn't great you end up paying double the cost for the goods.
O well, atleast I have the handset and headgear

I couldn't find any local (SA) stock of the SBH60 when I ordered.
The phone itself I got from Orange because the local prices are a bit excessive (I buy cash, not contract).
I was lucky enough to get a DK31 dock from a friend that works for Vodacom. Although the dock works with the Z3c, I opted for removing the cable instead.
The magnetic cable is a nice to have. The handset and headgear are the more important bits if you ask me
Battery Life Indicator
I picked up this set 2 about 2 months ago and have no complaints thus far. I noticed a nice feature that only seems to work with this particular set though; the battery life indicator.
I also have a pair of MDR-XB950BTs as well that I've been doubling as ear muffs for the cold It seems the 950s cannot utilize that same feature? Anyone know if this may be a limitation to a specific bluetooth profile?
I am using a stock D6616 (T-Mobile Z3), and don't believe it is necessarily a phone feature, but more so something supported by the headset..
Cheers!
I went with SBH-80 because I prefer the in-ear type. With Apt-X support, it sounds stellar!

any Axon 7 compatible VR headset?

Hi,
I'm looking for an affordable vr headset for my zte axon 7. has any of you guys got one that fits?
I'd like to get one from gearbest.com or similar . We have to take into account that the headset should not put pressure onto the power or volumes buttons.
I'd also like to have holes for the headphones and charging cable.
thx
ZTE has their own headset, I got it free as part of their promotion when I bought my Axon 7.
As for apps on the ZTEVR, the app provided is some custom version of VRSense made for ZTE, apps is quite limited and everything is in chinese though I tried some apps off play store for VR and they work, oh and did I mention it has pirated movies lol.
Quality wise its acceptable, dont expect too good experience since its a phone VR anyway. Not sure where you could buy them tho.
As for where to get them, you can try taobao or smth, some include the ZTEVR as gift when you buy Axon 7 from them (Cheaper today too cuz some 12/12 promotion UTC+8)
I got the reTrak Utopia 360 headset. They work reasonably well and have openings on the sides to access the headphone jack and usb port.
Fiit vr 2S is just a fine piece of plastic to go with Axon7. Missing action button though
Does anyone found zte vr headset on the web (original one) ? I can not finde any sort of pages that would like to sell it.
Regards.
I want a VR headset where you don't have to remove your case every single time.
The Axon 7 new Nougat ROM has been certified by Google as Daydream compatible and it is about to be released. My advice is to wait for that. Cardboard is very limited. The new platform is far more powerful and in a few months nothing will be compatible with cardboard since new apps will require the new remote to interface with the software.
For cardboard, I have tested the Cynoculars. I bouth them for my daughter for less than $20 at Walmart and came with a bluetooth remote (not Daydream compatible of course). But my advice is to get the Google Daydream VR to be future-proof.
Best bet right now is to go for the Daydream View headset.

vr headsets are not the same as daydream vr headset as far as i know.
You can use any headset for Daydream if you use a old/spare phone as the remote. There is an official emulator I believe that turns any phone running 4.4 or newer into a daydream remote.
I personally like the Bobo VR Z4 (apparently previous versions were trash). It has acceptable built in headphones (with volume control), a good range of focus (I wear glasses and I don't need them with this,) and adjustable interpupillary distance. IMHO the adjustments make it better than the daydream at 1/3 to 1/2 the cost. It is probably less comfortable for long viewing sessions than the daydream due to it's greater weight and slightly more rigid nose piece.
I have Bobo VR Z4, it works pretty well with Axon 7.

Well, not any phone can be setup as a remote, it must have a gyroscope and that is not included in many phones.

Ah. Good point. I had read that as meaning any 6 axis accelerometer. I see that it's much more restrictive than that. Fortunately my old HTC One S should work. If the 7.x update would hurry up and release.
If any of you are interested, Daydream View headset price is being reduced to $49 in the Google Store until February 25th

Daydream now only $50 right now. $30 off. USA only I think.
Someone could tell me where it is possible to buy one daydream headset : the Google one // the zte one...
Note that I am from Belgium and it is not in sale in the official Google store (and I am not ready to pay 100€+ on ebay/amazon sellers).

I bought Google Daydream VR headset.
Bestbuy had it for $50.
So is Google Daydream still the way to go for this? I got an Aldi headset but it just works as cardboard. I can already see this will be good for watching movies with Axon 7 whilst flying. Need to be able to use earbuds with it to prevent disturbing other passengers though, and plug in a charge cable for powerbank.
Edit: After playing a movie from a cardboard vr app the phone got pretty hot. Had it on charge same time so it's just not practical as a more immersive movie viewing method. VR in a phone is sort of useless because of this. It worked fine though.
I think it needs a standalone headset with onboard processing and screens to unload the phone resources. No good having it if heat and battery consumption are too high.
Edit: Returned my Aldi (Cocoon) VR headset and got a Kaiser Baas VR-X Pro as it has a built in Bluetooth media controller.

I'm not into games but will persevere with movies. Actually looking to get a cheap pair of glasses specifically for this, maybe even just a pair of lenses with no frame so I can stick them to the inside of the lens frame in the VR-X Pro. It has good phone ventilation and easy access to the ports for headset and charge plus I like the clamp which is quick and easy and can keep the stock case on the phone. Might get a google daydream view once it's released here too.
Found a VR theatre app I like. It works with the media controller and has good settings to maximise the view.
