Physical Overview
The build quality and design is one of the major plus points of the ANT VR. It is made up of good quality and strong plastic that has no rough or uneven edges. Fitting your smartphone in the clasp on the front may turn out to be a chore, because the top hinge that holds your phone tightly has a spring that keeps pushing it down. You might need to attempt fitting your phone multiple times until you get the perfect fit. There are 4 holders to fix the device in them; all the corners of your smartphone have to be in position to get a rock solid grip.
The good thing is that, when you fix all four corners in the groove holders perfectly then, your phone is held stiffly by the headset and it won’t drop until you to a literal headbanging.
The other side of the ANT VR has a comfortable plush leatherette cushion, which feels really soft and smooth on the face. The indent for positioning the nose is also carved out pretty nicely. The elastic head band is attached from the sides and it comes with a soft feel and a Velcro to adjust the fit. It is very lightweight, well-padded and the strap is made up of good quality material. You may feel warm and sweaty around the cushions after long usage.
