Can I modify the old Gear VR headset to fit the S8?

The old VR goggles have a fixed micro-USB connector, whereas the new goggles have a removable connector so you can switch between micro-USB and USB-C. Modifying the old one would not be trivial. For all the trouble, just get the new one and sell the old one.

When you say old, do you mean 2016 version? My model is SMR 323that did come with micro sub adapter. Would it be compatible with a new S7 if I upgrade my phone from S6?
