check PC specs for compatibility before buying

Before you buy it, make sure your PC can actually handle thing thing. This is the top VR headset on the market in terms of visual quality so you will need a baller PC to run it at full resolution. I got it primarily for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and it has by far exceeded my expectations, simply takes you to a different world

pretty solid upgrade from OG vive

Coming from an OG vive with DAS. Visuals are CRISP but the WMR interface is garbage. Its the only thing that makes me drop a star on the review. Using vive wands with headset, so cant say much about tracking. 3D printed myself a better face gasket holder for wider FOV and bigger cushion. the factory cloth can get you sweaty. snagged this for 400 on sale, im going to keep. if it was more than 500 i wouldnt, just because WMR software is that bad

Fantastic But Only With VR-Ready Desktop

The headset is a very nice package. In terms of ergonomics, it is fully adjustable and the controllers feel natural to use. Yes, it does have to be tethered to a computer to work, but it really isn't an issue because you're standing in place most of the time when you use it. The resolution is stunning. I'm a big puzzle gaming guy so the old-school Myst and the newer Obduction games look gorgeous with this headset. Here is the thing: you really can't use this headset with a laptop. My wife just bought a very nice HP laptop with Nvidia graphics and an I7 processor and it just crashed over and over. This is why I gave it four starts and not five, but I'm not really sure there's anything HP could do to make it run on laptops. After all, these things are data hogs and that's all there is to it! I actually bought a refurbished VR-ready desktop to run it and all problems were solved. To run this headset, it's all about the GPU. These cards are very expensive now because of all the trolls mining crypto, but I recommend a GTX 1660 Super. That's what I have and it runs flawlessly. If you can afford a GTX 2060 Super, all the better. Please note that I bought this headset over the Oculus specifically because I can't stand the thought of Facebook (Meta now I suppose) measuring my responses to the stimuli presented in the headset and using it for marketing. If you don't mind Big Brother watching and recording everything you do and say while using the headset, an Oculus is by far the least expensive way to go...but there's a reason for that. It's like Google; nothing is really ever free!
