The Galaxy S5 LTE-A is the world's first smartphone to feature a QHD (2560x1440) Super AMOLED Display, Snapdragon 805 SoC and impressive download speeds of up to 225 Mbps
The new high resolution and faster processor have made dramatic changes in the quality of the VR experience. Tho I have noticed during recording and playback motion in the VR environment is a little gerky.
The second modification was the permanent attachement of headphone to the over all unit.
Normally earbud headphones would be used for a unit like this as they provide almost 100% noise cancelling BUT due to hygene an Overear headphone model was used (BELOW)

VR headset modification steps
Step 1: Phones were dismantled to find where wiring was located and to find a suitable method for attaching to the VR headset bands.
Step 2: The silver portion of the headphones were removed, the cavity left by them was a suiable width and size for the threading of the elastic headband of the VR unit
Step 3; using a scroll saw two fine cuts were made in each of the casings for the left and right ear.
Step 4: Thread the elastic through the headphone ear piece, being very careful not to damage the wiring ( it is single strand wire )
Step 5: reassemble the headset and test
Step 6: dismantle VR headset
Step 7: thread wiring into headset
Step 8: conceal wiring into the case of the headset being careful not to damage the lense
Step 9: reassemble VR headset
