You probably know the name Hosyo as one of the inexpensive VR headset models produced by Shinecon. Testing out a new headset like this one from Shinecon is particularly interesting, because it’s one of the many examples of products that promise to deliver a high-quality, immersive virtual reality experience at an affordable price. We looked at the Hosyo VR headset glasses, in order to see if they live up to all the promises that the company has been making. In this review, you will learn about the headset’s specifications, pros and cons, design, requirements, setup, and other such details.

It’s difficult to judge some aspects of the Hosyo VR headset, since it has not been on the market for that long. While you can usually tell if you like a particular headset right after trying it on, some things won’t be clear until you’ve worn it for a while, and gotten a chance to try out each option. Nevertheless, this particular Hosyo VR headset doesn’t seem to have any glaring problems that would be visible immediately after testing out the device.

Hosyo VR Headset: Design & Requirements

In terms of design, this headset is quite basic, in that it is similar to most other VR headsets on the market, featuring a head strap that you can adjust to have the headset comfortably fit on your head. The design is ergonomic, with a wide angle view. The eye patch that goes on your face is made of soft leather, which increases the headset’s levels of comfort. All you need to use it is a smartphone that can fit into it, and the VR/3D apps installed on your device.

Hosyo VR Headset: Controls & Display

The display for this particular headset depends a lot on the smartphone you plan on using with it, so we can’t tell you that much about it. The resolution is dependent on the device, but most smartphones that fit into this headset will offer a clear, high-quality picture, whether you’re watching a video or playing a game. There are two controls to speak of on top of the device, namely the button that adjusts the pupil distance, and the button that regulates the focal distance.

Hosyo VR Headset: Setup
