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.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Retoo VR 3D Glasses

  • At 320 g it is light on the head.
  • An elastic strap holds it in place.
  • A remote control is included.
  • Lens spacing can be adjusted to suit your eyes.
  • 360 degree head tracking follows your head turns.
  • It works with both Android and iOS phones.

What customers don't like about Retoo VR 3D Glasses

  • The 90 degree view shows less of the scene at once.
  • The lens is 33.5 mm across, which is small for a headset.
  • There are no speakers, so sound depends on the phone.
  • There is no 3.5 mm jack for wired headphones.
  • Tracking covers head turns only, not movement.

Verdict

The main limit of the Retoo VR 3D Glasses is the view, so it is worth knowing before you buy. At 90 degrees the picture feels tight, and the 33.5 mm lens is small. Its strongest point is weight: at 320 g it is light, and an elastic strap holds it on your head. A remote control comes with it, which lets you change things without touching the phone. There are no speakers and no 3.5 mm jack, so the sound comes from the phone itself. The lens spacing can be adjusted, and 360 degree head tracking follows your turns, though not your movement. It suits someone who wants a light headset for short films and simple games and who does not need a wide view.
