Note 8 vr headset compatibility

[mancuk29]

Hello

I purchased on eBay a samsung vr headset and the seller said that it was compatible with the note 8 in his description

I've just noticed on the box it only shows up to the s8 plus

I still haven't received the headset as it's on its way but want to check it will work before I open the box

Thanks

I also got the same. It does work but the fitting of note 8 is a bit tight. It just gets in wirh no room left. But it des work fine.

Though it is compatible, it will not be a good fit, the model number you brought is SM-R324. the model that will have a much better fit for the note 8 is the SM-R325 (SM-R325NZVAXAR to be precise)

There's a special adapter you can buy from samsung that has an extra space in the USB type C connector that will allow it to fit snugly. I on the other hand once I got a hold of of my gear vr (2016 version) having no idea it was going to be a thing took matters into my own hands (this was near Xmas and the part was going to take a month to ship) I took a not so subtle approach and heated up a pair of boxcutters over the gas burner on my oven and just trimmed away until it fit lol. For it to stay in I need to just use one good piece of either black electrical tape (preferred) or duct tape(REALLY let's the ghettoness shine through lol). Stays firmly in place all things considered, and despite the gaps/holes in plastic no light gets thru them whatsoever. To each their own I guess lol.
