Google Daydream View

First Impressions: While there is no doubt this is a super lightweight headset that feels beautifully soft to the touch it is also a headset that is noticeably basic. There are no adjustment features whatsoever and even the head strap and face padding are not up to much. But look a little closer and you will easily find the quality of this headset in its build quality and minimalistic design. This isn’t some rushed out design, someone spent years thinking hard about it.

Google Daydream View (Mobile VR Headset)

Features Review: Oh dear. This is something the Google Daydream View doesn’t really offer anything! You could talk about the washable face cover or the adjustable 2 point head strap, but that would be your lot. Very disappointing given what the competition offers.

Review: The box is your classic Google style. It’s clean, white and with a nice image of the headset and a Google Logo. It also has all the information you need to know about it and its very shop friendly. Opening up the side of the box the headset and the Google Daydream controller slide out effortlessly making for a very nice presentation and the whole box and pull out insert are very strong. When it comes to presentation Google know what they are doing and do it in style. If you have owned a Google product before you should have expected nothing less.
