Royole Moon 3D Virtual Mobile Theatre - Black

I barely give any review, but, this time, I decided to do so, because I was very afraid after reading all the comments. Yes, the apps don't work anymore (or at least I couldn't make them work yet). I believe the Android version inside the Moon is too old for the new apps to work. And those apps (Netflix and Youtube) are constantly requiring updating. I didn't try to download new apps as instructed in the Royole website though. I may try it later. The videos I put in the Moon box' storage and in a pendrive worked both perfectly well, both in 2D and 3D. And the HDMI also worked flawlessly with both my Samsung smartphone (on Dex mode inside the Moon, which is really nice) and my Blu ray reader. The Moon detects immediately which source you are using and the image is always crystal clear. No spectacles needed, even if your source is an old red and blue DVD. You have to configure the 3D source (SBS or anaglyphe) in the settings beforehand. I should say I am quite impressed with its quality, chiefly when watching 3D contend. The algorithm works as a charm even with red and blue 3D sources. It is able to separate it into two different images, one for each eye, and add colour correction. I should say I have never watched those red/blue DVDs of mine with such a wonderful image and sound. If the 3D source is SBS, as in Blu ray discs, it will be even better, because there will be no colour loss and the image is full HD. For some specific bad comments I've read somewhere before, I didn't have any of the issues I read. For example, although I do not have a small nose, the Royole Moon never touched it (I should say I don't have a big nose either, just a normal one for European standards). The Moon is surprisingly quite comfortable. The only thing that made me a bit worry is that the Moon box gets very hot sometimes. I have not had any fog issue either. When using it, you have the impression of watching an enormous projection far away, as in a theatre, because your eyes are not angling inwards. The real image size is bigger than I thought, reaching the edge of the lenses. It is after all a very relaxing mode of watching. After one hour, Royole Moon reminds you to stop for a while, so you will not force your eyes. I hope this comments will help you make a proper choice if you intend to give it a chance, since the price dropped so much. For someone like me, with a huge 3D collection, it is a nice gadget to have.

I don’t think I have ever received an item from Amazon (or anyone else) which made me decide to send it back for a refund the same day. This was a first for the Royole Moon headset. Prior to deciding to buy this headset, I watched endless reviews on YouTube and read dozens of reviews on Google, not once did I came across anything which mentioned the numerous faults with this headset. My first objection is to do with placing of the headset on your head. I am an average Western guy with an average head size and an average nose size. This thing would not sit tight on my head unless it was plonked right on top, which meant all the weight was on my nose. I can tell you that 24 hours later, after using it for only one hour, I still feel a slight ache on the top bone of my nose. Whatever anyone says, the Royole Moon was most definitely designed for people with turned up noses which curve inwards at the top, if you have a straight nose, or heaven forbid a “Roman nose”, you might as well start saving up for a nose operation to remove any aberration which might stand in the way of the weight this headset flaunts. My second objection is to do with the fact that all the online entertainment built into the set is in Japanese (or perhaps Korean) and I don’t mean only the movies language but the actual screen language as well. Unless you read Japanese there is no way you can navigate through this option. Incidentally, the offer of downloading 3 full length movies from the Sony website for free (extensively advertised in the box and elsewhere) expired in November 2019 so no joy there either. Having decided not to be beaten by all the negativity emanating from my purchase, I thought I would use the included browser to connect to my home network and test the home streaming facility. I use Serviio for this and had no trouble connecting to it, however, playing a movie was an impossible task as the window which displays the movie would not expand to full screen. After watching 2 minutes of this on a window which filled up only a third of the display AND an aching nose, I gave it up. Ok, I was still feeling positive so I hooked the headset up to my Blu-ray player to test its 3D Blu-ray capabilities. The first cable refused to connect, so I tried two other cables with the same result. I changed the settings on the Blu-ray player, I tried the second HDMI output, I hooked it up to the 7.1 receiver, tried that and just about all the outputs, no joy! Feeling beaten I packed it all up and initiated a return from Amazon. Well done Royole! You won!

The quality of the image on the screen and of the sound on the surround sound headphones is excellent.The image does present as a cinema screen about 20 metres away and the 3D effect is great. The manipulation of the controls is very functional even with additional drives attached via the hdmi input. Using a wired or wireless mouse via the usb input makes control and selection of items much simpler. The minor flaws are the size of the eyepieces which don't give a full 360 degree view of the screen with the bottom corners sometimes blocking the lower views of the screen. Also the nose piece does cause some discomfort and even mild pain as the plastic is quite hard when the headset is resting on your nose. Otherwise it is quite comfortable to wear although your eyes in such an enclosed space for a long period will need rested. Finally the price is quite high and I wouldn't have purchased the Royole Moon only I had been given a present of some Amazon vouchers.

The one star would be for the few demos that are included... they were the only things that actually worked properly, none of the apps worked.. royole sweet wouldn't except code, Netflix wouldn't work at all, the installed YouTube app not supported anymore, signed into my own YT account but was not able to go full-screen with it, no google play, the only thing I got working was prime video well that's good then I hear you say - well no it's not because all of the lip sync was out, and then to top it off I then noticed either dead pixels or dust appear on the screen behind the lens... well having un-removable dust start to appear is one thing I knew I wouldn't be able to put up with.. and yes I did update the firmware, there needs to be another massive update again before they should sell this. refunded.

Optik: Schön anzusehen und hochwertige Verarbeitung. Trage Komfort: für kurze Zeit ok eine Spielfilm Länge ist aber unangenehm. Technik: Leider ist die Firmware veraltet und somit mit einigen Dingen nicht mehr kompatibel. Sound ist ok. Bild könnte besser sein. Stöhnend war bei meinem Gerät nur das es sich immer wieder in eine Art standby Zustand versetzte.Aber nicht nachvollziehbar war weshalb und es das eine mal nach 3 min passierte das andere mal nach 5 min. So wurde sie das schauen von Filmen und ganz und gar für spiele unbrauchbar. Deshalb sendete ich dieses Gerät zurück. Kann es leider nicht weiter empfehlen.

fonctionne parfaitement (j'ecris ce commentaire apres plusieurs mois d'utilisation) c'est top et immersif je regarde serie film netflix prime video ou film sur usb) le son est bon et l'image quand elle est bien reglé est excellente(j’enlève mes lunettes de correction et je régle les images)

Buongiorno. Ottimo prodotto, lo uso per vedere film sia tramite usb che HDMI e svolge egregiamente il suo lavoro, funziona ottimamente anche con SKY tramite apposito splitter. Unica pecca produce umidità appena si indossa per circa 5/10 minuti offuscando le lenti. Una volta stabilizzato va alla grande. La batteria scalda parecchio. Vediamo quanto dura. Per ora tutto OK.

Ik had gedacht dat dit product een ware aanvulling zou om te gebruiken naast de VR voor echt 3D films en de ervaring van een bioscoop theater. Als je de wereld van VR gewend bent, dan komt dit product zijn belofte niet na. Het is helemaal niet alsof je in een bioscoop zit met een MEGA groot scherm. Het scherm op het maximale grootte is alsof je door een speelgoed bril kijkt naar een alsnog een kleine afmeting. Het doet mij een beetje denken aan de viewmaster uit de jaren 80. Los dat je dit product niet mag vergelijken met een VR, is het een grote teleurstelling. Ook is het menu niet intuïtief en worden vele apps niet goed ondersteund en geven direct al een error. Ook met het instellen van de ogen kan je alleen maar aan de knoppen draaien en ze op en neer bewegen, maar je kan niet zien welke stand ze staan, dus op gevoel. En de batterijduur ging bij het testen van de bril als redelijk snel. Laat staan als je een film zit te kijken en opladen duurt al snel 2 uur voor volledig batterijgebruik. Wat wel positief is is het scherpe beeld en het geluid, daar is niets op aan te merken. Ook over de pasvorm en het gemak van meenemen is iets positiefs te melden. Ik zeg niet dat je deze bril niet moet kopen. Dat kan voor puur een filmpje voor jezelf, onderweg, maar nogmaals als je de wereld van VR gewend bent is het absoluut geen toevoeging voor als gadgets. Ik heb deze bril dan ook retour gezonden.

Sieht gut aus aber das Gerät war für mich zu schwer, 700 g drückten auf die Nase und eine Linderung durch Gewichtsumleitung über den Kopfbügel war nicht möglich, es war kaum 30 Minuten auszuhalten. Schon nach wenigen Minuten kommt man ins Schwitzen und schließlich beschlagen die Linsen. Die Bildauflösung ist gut, einen Panorama- oder Curvedeffekt habe ich nicht erkennen/ einrichten können. Ich hatte immer den Eindruck aus zwei Metern Entfernung auf einen handelsüblichen Monitor zu schauen. An den Rändern war das Bild stets unscharf, dies ließ sich auch durch alle möglichen Positionsänderungen der Videobrille nicht beheben. Weshalb diese VR-Brille in einigen Testen und Erfahrungsberichten gut abschneidet, ist für mich nicht nachvollziehbar. Habe nach nicht einmal 24 h das Teil wieder zurück geschickt.
