Presentation: The basic Lenovo Explorer kit includes all you need like the headset with the main cable and a 3.5 jack for headphones and the motion controllers. To be fair it is a pretty stylish box with a bright image of the headset on top and the inner box containing strong packaging foam with everything neatly placed inside. Despite its budget price I was impressed with the unboxing experience as I was with the quality of that said packaging.

Review: The first thing I noticed with this headset is that it is lightweight, but not because of the design, more the cheaper quality of materials used. It just feels as if it was made as cheaply as possible. But the wearing experience is a little better even if there is nothing amazing here in terms of FOV or resolution. If you can grab this headset for a sale price you might enjoy it a lot more than I did paying full price and to be fair Lenovo has produced a good headset that is super-easy to use, but there is certainly nothing that stands out here or makes it better than any other WMR headset.
