Well it appears this forum is more suited to the high-end VR experience, but having got a free Cardboard at a Google event I'm slowly getting sucked into the whole VR thing. There's tons of cheap (<£45) VR headsets on Amazon, but which to buy?

Just looking for something a bit more comfortable. It's still a phone gimmick to me but it's quite fun and the girlfriend has enjoyed some of the videos I've showed her (like the Muse music video and the Jungle Book stuff).

Is it worth getting something like the Homido over the Tepoinn for example? :confused:
 
Amazon clearly know I'm looking. The Teppoin is on a lightning deal down to £13.50. Itchy finger...

EDIT: Make that £11.78. Can't say no to that. Bought :p

I think you're right. The Tepoinn/Shinecon is unfortunately, totally pants. Really disappointed. Everything about it is brilliant, but the FOV is awful. I can't believe through all the reviews I saw that nobody mentioned it. The Cardboard is far superior. The Tepoinn/Shinecon is like watching a little square of content out in front of you, thoroughly pants and no immersion whatsoever. I'll go back to using my Cardboard!

Hopefully I'll be able to return it, but if not it was only £11. Such a shame because the lenses, build quality, focus knobs and everything Are really nice. Quite bizarre.

I think I the Merge is still the best official cardboard device. Are there any with higher quality glass lenses?

How's the fov with the Merge? I really don't trust any of the reviews now after the Tepoinn/Shinecon debacle. None of them mentioned how terrible the fov was!
