Nice upgrade from the original vive.
I really like this headset so far. I’ve only used the original HTC vive since launch so the first time I put this one on I was shocked at the clarity. The headphones are wicked, even better than the deluxe audio strap. as for comfort, it feels fine. Kinda like the original but a slight heavier on the face and once I fine tuned it felt natural. The lenses are a bit smaller it seems but wider than the original so I just have to get used it. I’m getting the wire kit the put the wireless adapter on soon, so right now I’m back to playing tethered. Setup was easy just took a bit of time and the new base stations are rad. Better tracking? Yes please! The controllers feel good with a better trackpad(mine were worn bad).

An exceedingly bad product.
I was plagued with issues from the beginning, and after 400 hours of total use, it has completely died. A 12 month warranty is a joke for a product like this, and its issues are numerous. The light bloom and flare are terrible, the optical sweet spot is so tight and specific that it may as well not exist. The fresnel lenses are choppy and low clarity. Any ambitions in the visual display, such as the high ppi and high resolution are completely negated by the poor optics. I am bitter that this died well before its prime with gentle and periodic use. And when I wasn’t troubleshooting the visual issues, I was dealing with link box issues (likely pcb trace breaks) or link cable problems.My suspicion is that the main motherboard overheated a component and burned out the display chips, as there is still a green light on the HMD but the displays are completely dead, despite the Steam VR Preview still showing a render with tracking. Before the burnout there was terrible judder in the display. I swapped the link box and cable to no avail, the headset is just completely dead. Avoid this product and anything else they release in this category.This HMD will go down as one of the worst consumer electronic products I have ever owned and I implore others to read this and heed the warning.

Clear picture, with a fairly hot headset
You’re paying for picture quality, and this headset has it in spades. There is still a minute bit of frensal rings if you look for them, but as long as you are looking straight and at the sweet spot, you don’t notice them at all (which is the case most of the time).I do recommend getting the smaller, breathable sponge mats to replace the sweat soaking native ones. They’ll increase your horizontal and vertical field of view, while adding a more sanitary option. The headset does get fairly warm in graphics demanding games. You’ll want to mod it with a small fan for air circulation, or have some form of fan blowing on you (which oddly adds to the immersion feel). However, the visual trade off is completely worth it.If you have the extra money, get the Vive wireless connector with it, and 2 spare batteries. Should give you 6 hours of cable free fun.

Think twice if you’re considering upgrading from the Vive Pro…
I want to make this clear that this review is meant specifically for those who may be struggling with the same question that I had – is the Vive Pro 2 worth buying if you already own the Vive Pro?Just to give everyone a little background history, I am a hardcore virtual reality enthusiast. I have been using VR extensively since the launch of the original HTC Vive. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to try several different VR headsets, including the PSVR, Oculus Rift, Oculus (Meta) Quest 2, as well as the Valve Index. However, the Vive Pro has been my undisputed favorite ever since its release.So when I heard that the Vive Pro 2 was releasing last year, I was excited to say the least. When I read about the substantial (on paper) improvements in resolution, the wider 120 degree FOV and enhanced refresh rate – I immediately began to debate on which major organ I would sell to acquire this beauty.”WE HAVE TO SEE….WE HAVE TO KNOW..”Vive Pro owners, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but these are my observations after using the Pro 2 in comparison to the Pro:-You will immediately notice that the black levels are not nearly as deep, nor the contrast as vivid asthe Pro. So disappointing. Not as bad as the Valve Index, but it will be a night and day difference to people like me that are used to the awesome OLED panels on the Pro. The new LCD type screens utilized in the Pro 2 does a decent job, but it still looks like everything is a little foggy because the dark areas are washed out. Say goodbye to those wonderful deep blacks and the amazing contrast found on the Pro. I don’t understand why they chose to do this, as to me this almost negates the other improvements to clarity. In brightly lit scenes, the Vive Pro 2 shines, but games like Elite Dangerous, where the majority of the scenes are dark, the original Pro absolutely annihilates the Pro 2 in these areas.-Clarity is a noticeable difference however, in terms of viewing or reading things from a distance. In games like Onward, or any games where sniping, for example, might be involved – this clarity proves very useful. However, I did not find any meaningful difference, though the difference on paper indicates otherwise. The improved clarity was noticeable, but once again, I did not feel that it meaningfully enhanced the experience.-I would say the same about the 120hz refresh rate and FOV improvements. While nice, they don’t seem to make much of a meaningful difference in the experience. These are, of course, welcome and nice enhancements. But not enough, in my opinion, to justify viewing the Vive Pro as an actual, next generation Vive headset.Ultimately, what it came down to for me was the panel lighting differences. The washed out black is very difficult to accept coming from the deep blacks found on the OLED Vive Pro panels. For me, the washed out blacks is immersion breaking. And it always makes me feel like I’m seeing things through a slight fog.The difference is NIGHT and DAY. If you value the way the colors and contrast pop so beautifully on the Pro, you will most likely find it very difficult to upgrade to the Pro 2.Bottom line is, it’s a great headset. But if you’re a Pro owner, I do not consider it worth the upgrade. Especially if you enjoy dark games like Elite Dangerous. While it has its paper advantages, the panel lighting on the Pro 2 seems like a step backwards because of the noticeable hit in the deep blacks and eye-popping contrast of the Pro. And the experience is a marginal improvement as a consequence of this baffling design change to the lighting system.Pro still ROCKS guys. Pro 2 is heading back where it came from. That was just my experience with it!

Worked exactly one time
So purchase this and received a new headset, not sent a used one or anything. The headset worked exactly one time and then never again. Called the help desk to get help either with what I am doing wrong or with getting the headset replaced. The guy with the help line walked me through all the normal steps of uninstall turn off unhook yada yada yada and when it was determined that the headset was infact the issue I was told the only option was to return the device to Amazon. All I wanted was a reply or for it to be fixed, and instead I was forced to get a refund. So I give the headset one star for working one time, and I give HTC negative stars for not standing by their products. I will not be buying this company’s products in the future

Defective item please avoide! i’ve gone through 2 and am fighting amazon now to return my 2nd replacement 1 day passed warranty. They are going to stick me with a $2000.00 paper weight with a company like HTC that doenst answer their phones or check their emails…. AVOID! get a index or something else these are 100% defective and you will get verticle lines and eventually die 1-2 months of moderate use.

The quality is good. The resolution is amazing. The thing I was most worried about was fit and I was very happy with the range of people that it fit. Adult male, adult genial and both kids youths (boy & girl). This has made VR experiences first rate.

Can’t get over how much of an improvement in video, audio, and comfort quality this is over the original Vive. Amazing resolution, vibrant colour, high frame rate, no “screen door” effect. It takes a little bit to get used to some of the visual artefacts (“god rays” on text, e.g.) but in games I’ve never seen VR look this great.
Michael –
Read through the negative reviews, don’t agree at all. Graphics are stunning, God rays haven’t come across any but I don’t go around looking for a white board. Came from quest 2 and now I’m spoiled with picture quality.
Amazon Customer –
I keep in HTC vive brand as my car in Ford family. Well I had vive, vive pro. Then I got vive pro2. What concerning the headset graphic is probably the best on market. Problem was shaking picture and sometime frozen in game. Returned through Amazon (very easy)Then I got full kit Pro 2 from Vive Canada. Same problem.This time I did not consider to return without trying to fix it. And : fix was simple, disconnected cable on head side and reconnected. It did wor for that session. But when after session I unplaged head from pc and tried again Igot the same problem. Anyway to make it short seems problem is not a cable itself. Just the connection between headset and cable I think. When I did the same disconnect /reconnect dancing it did work again. Then after sesion I did not unplug headset from pc and next session did work again fine.Coincidence? Maybe. I like vive pro2 and I recommend this product. Just letting you know what you may expect.
