    Fantastic for my price.
    Ever since VR came out, I wanted one. Some odd years later I got a fully decked out PC built. And I got my first VR. WMR Acer.Let me start by saying I got this for $218.00. that's shipping and all. During that sale I got the cheapest headset I think. So when I say fantastic for the price, that's what I mean.If you have seen linus tech tips videos on YouTube, he bashed this headset hard. So let me clear that up.The comfort, especially the nose is good. Nothing picked your nose and makes it hard to breath, it can however be a little uncomfortable sometimes on the nose. But that is easily resolved by just pushing up the padding a little off your nose bottom.The second thing is ghosting, I think this depends on the game. Linus demonstrates a over exaggerated effect on the video. After making sure your vision is clear by correctly positioning the headset which is easily done by a head strap adjuster. Everything moves clear and nice.A little beef I have now is with the way the head mount is the fact you can't scratch your forehead. Just a big plastic cover with padding on the inside.For people new to VR, you'll start to notice a binoculars affect. This can't be helped on most headsets yet, but it still kinda sucks.Also, a big thing with these headsets is they need good room lighting. It tracks your playspace by memory and vision. (Also controllers) so it can sometimes lose tracking if the room isn't bright enough.If I think of more stuff later, I'll add a "edit" below. But these are pretty much some of the main things I've noticed. Take a look at other headsets too.(Edit: you'll notice in a picture that the cable is Velcro held to the head strap. This is because if you look down, the visor will be pulled down and off your face, thus ruining the experience. I got this solution on Reddit)
