Headset Xiaomi VR 2: Samsung Gear VR, but half the price

Unlike the first model , where you could guess the reverence shown to Google Cardboard, the second version of the headset visually resembles the Samsung Gear VR.



Let's see what's inside the box.

Xiaomi is not shy about the similarities with Gear VR and Sony , which is underlined both by “advertising angles” and exclusivity, which is achieved through compatibility only with the flagships: new Xiaomi glasses with Mi 5 line ( Mi 5, Mi 5s, Mi 5s Plus and new Mi) work Note 2 ).

The smartphone is mounted inside quite securely. On one side, Type-C holds it:



On the other - a special clothespin. Both parts are movable to take into account the size of the smartphone.



To prevent the gadget from scratching and sliding inside the headset, additional seals are provided along the edges - rubberized rectangles. And also from one of the sides there are two “teeth” on the springs.



But you still have to pull the smartphone out of the case!

The design is quite light - about 400 grams - so it is comfortable to hold it on your head. Tight fit provides a special adjustable headband, which can be adjusted by pressing a button.



At the same time, in contrast to Samsung, the part of the structure that is in contact with the forehead, has a large area. It will not crush a single line in the center of the head.



After fitting it sits quite tightly, without gaps.



At the same time, the special fabric lining does not rub as polyurethane could do. The part of the fabric lining, which directly surrounds the eyes, is unfastened.



On the reverse side - the same soft pillow.



The design is complemented by a special cover for the headset, which closes the smartphone:



Special features

The headset has a number of features that many models lack. Firstly, we are talking about an optical sensor that recognizes when you put on / take off the headset.



The glasses are equipped with a motion sensor with a response of 16 ms. Also, of course, the lens is focused using a special wheel. Lenses are adjusted at once both.

Packed headset is also luxurious.



These glasses were created to work in pairs with an application with which there are some problems: it is Chinese. However, YouTube videos can be viewed without it. By and large, in my opinion, this is another gadget in the collection for Xiaomi fans.
