PRICEY, BUY ONLY IF YOU WILL USE OFTEN

By FILM MAKER WANABEE

from SAN DIEGO, CA on 2/15/2008

Pros:

Easy to Set Up, Fits Well, Good sound

Cons:

VIEWING SCREEN TOO DIM

Describe Yourself:

Avid Listener

Primary use:

Personal

WORKS OK. SIZE OF IMAGE SMALLER THAT I EXPECTED BASED ON ADVERTISED CLAIM OF "EQUAL TO VIEWING A 62 INCH TV SCREEN". WOULD LIKE IMAGE TO BE BRIGHTER AND MORE CRISP OK FOR VIEWING MOVIES AND TV SHOWS WHILE TRAVELING WHICH WAS PURPOSE FOR PURCHASE.

A LITTLE PRICEY FOR QUALITY.

I USE IPOD TO STORE FILMS I WANT TO SEE AND HOOK UP TO GLASSES IS QUICK AN EASY. WOULD LIKE TO SEE SELLER OFFER HARD STORAGE CASE FOR TRAVEL AS DEVICE APPEARS VERY FRAGILE FOR CARRYING IN BRIEFCASE OF BACKPACK IN SOFT POUCH PROVIDED WITH PRODUCT.

BECAUSE OF COST, WOULD RECOMMEND ONLY FOR PURCHASERS WHO WOULD USE PRODUCT OFTEN.

This product would be great for travel-either in the car or on planes. It simulates being in the theater, looks good and seems very futuristic. Bought it for my husband for Christmas and he seems to be enjoying it. Only drawback is that you will need glasses or contacts to use it.

Easy to set up and use. My husband will use this while traveling overseas. Makes movie viewing much better than on the tiny ipod screens. Have yet to see how well it travels, whether it breaks easily, etc.

Product is great!

Husband loves movies off of ipod and portable DVD player and the Vuzsix glasses make his movie watching sensational and much more inviting since his screen view is larger! He loves it and so glad that I ordered this product for him!
Company might allow 2 glasses to be viewed simultaneously so that a couple like us can view the movie together.
