Bought them but will be returning them. After all the praise I wanted to give it a try even if a have a Spark and not a Mavic. The 1080p to 720p doesn't make a lot of difference and full head tracking was nothing I really needed. So my opinion after some flight tests:
No feel of immersion at all for me. Unlike VR, its basically just a bigger screen in front of your face. I don't feel any immersion when flying with them, as it is the exact same thing as flying with the phone just bigger, but without better quality (especially as everything is just stretched). For me, its even worse then just looking at my phone, as you completely loose any sense of what is going on around you. So i have to constantly look around/turn the drone to check my surrounding even if I am flying at a place I already know. I don't know why the reviews were so positive about it.
I also watched some high quality demo videos of Mavic flights on the googles (some of them are also on the googles as demo material) and even there, with all its 1080p glory, I don't feel any immersion. I guess if you ever tried out a VR headset or have a high quality 4K TV at home, you are spoiled. If you want to know how it feels: Imagine you have a 65" FullHD Tv at your home and you are sitting in front of it at 1 meter distance. Quality will noticeable be underwhelming, and it will not be an immersive experience but more an exhausting one. That is at least how I experienced it so far. I might give it one last try but I guess its just not what I expected.
For me, flying with my phone gives me perfect control over the situation, while I still get a great view from the drones camera. I only intended to use the goggles at home, but i guess even there I will stick to a basic phone/controller combo.
