Comparing to index as my strap broke and decided to upgrade to something with higher resolution. The total experience of the index is better but the image is much better on the Pro 2. I almost prefer using the index the fov is slightly better and the fact the off ear speakers and mic are so much better it’s laughable this is called a “pro” at all. By the time you decide to mod mic and swap the headphones out for your own you have so much stuff strapped to your head it’s almost not worth but that screen clarity is really nice.
I upgraded from the original HTC Vive to the Vive Pro 2, mostly because I wanted the higher resolution (2448 x 2448 per eye). Setup was very easy because I already had the base stations and controllers from the Vive. Overall the experience is pretty cool with text being way easier to read, and everything just looks better, the screen door effect is effectively gone. But it’s not all great.
The Fresnel lenses have this annoying thing with lights streaking from bright objects in dark scenes, which is a bit distracting. Also, it’s kinda hard to keep things in focus unless the headset is sitting just right, because the clear view area (or sweet spot) seems small to me. So overall it’s an upgrade for sure, but it does come with a couple of issues to think about.
For me, the enhanced visual quality is worth it. I mainly play flight sims and Elite Dangerous, and the menus/instruments are a lot clearer now.
However I ended up returning as it wasn’t suitable for my eyes IPD
Delivered Saturday. Set up Saturday evening and it was great. Sunday morning tried to change the settings and it all went wrong. Couldn’t get it to work properly and it took me until 4pm Sunday afternoon to discover my glowing error. As the title states, you absolutely MUST run Steam and use VR from there or it won’t work properly. Almost returned this and I’m so glad I worked it out. The graphics on iRacing on my RTX 3090 are simply stunning. The colours pop and the detail within the car is absurdly good. Everything is crisp and no more squinting to see the numbers on the dials. If you’ve used a Meta Quest 2 via the link cable then this beats that hands down. Well built bit of kit and comfortable fit. More than happy with this headset. Most definitely recommend. But please remember the Steam VR launch and not from the console software. 6 stars.
Es muy buen casco 5k virtual VR pero prefiero el de Microsoft el HP Reberb G2 4K como el mejor VR de mercado porque es un diseo ptimo pues incorpora las cmaras de seguimiento en en mismo casco VR prescindiendo de las estaciones bases y un sistema de seguimiento fabuloso sin precedentes que puede interactuar en una habitacin mucho ms pequea e incluso en un habitculo muy reducido con una precisin inigualable hasta ahora!.
If you own a PC with a 3080 or equal then this is great, better images when running in ultra. Unfortunately my system is not as good as my friends and I can’t run in extreme or ultra so I have had to retu
