Reviews score
✕
What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.2 for now.
Share: Reviews count 25% of the overall score.

What customers like about Heromask VR Kids

  • At 330 g it is light enough for a young child's head.
  • It works with both Android and iOS smartphones.
  • The games teach English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.
  • Lessons run offline once the app has been downloaded.
  • Head turns are tracked, so the view follows a child's head.
  • No batteries are needed.

What customers don't like about Heromask VR Kids

  • A smartphone is needed, because the phone supplies the picture.
  • Head tracking covers turns only, so the child cannot walk through a scene.
  • There are no controllers, so the child cannot use their hands in games.
  • There are no speakers, so sound comes from the phone or headphones.

Verdict

Parents who want screen time with a purpose may like the Heromask VR Kids, a phone headset for children aged 5 to 12. At 330 g it is light enough for a small head. The games teach English, French, German, Italian and Spanish through play, and they run offline once the app has been downloaded. Your own smartphone does the display work, so the headset is only as sharp as the phone in it. Head turns are tracked, so a child can look around a room in the game, but the headset cannot follow steps across the floor. There are no controllers, so the child cannot reach into the scene with their hands. It suits a family where children already use phones and a grandparent or teacher wants a gift that gets used.
