The immersion is amazing. I'd recommend this for anyone considering getting into VR gaming. The immersion is amazing. I'd recommend this for anyone considering getting into VR gaming.
Firstly, this headset is rather comfortable. I don't have much experience with other headsets, but I do remember from my short time with the original vive, that it was rather bulky and would hurt the back of your head if you wore it for more than 15 mins. This is much lighter, and can honestly make you forget you're even wearing it. The audio is great, not quite up to the quality of the Valve Index but it's close. It does have a built-in microphone but it sounds like a microphone you'd get out of a cereal box so i'd recommend connecting an external microphone if you want to communicate while wearing it. Tracking is great, obviously much...view more Firstly, this headset is rather comfortable.

It does have a built-in microphone but it sounds like a microphone you'd get out of a cereal box so i'd recommend connecting an external microphone if you want to communicate while wearing it. Tracking is great, obviously much better than the normal cosmos since it's done through base stations rather than cameras. Speaking of cameras, the headset still has numerous cameras around the faceplate but i've been unable to find a use for them. All in all, this is cheaper than the Vive Pro, yet just as good. Highly recommended.
Took a day but overall was actually pretty simple and straight forward to set up. good quality and good fun. I highly suggest having a strong computer to make sure things run nicely but so long as you have the recommended requirements its still a great VR Headset to have.

My first VR experience, I love it and very happy with VR and the quality of product but the price point just aint there. Just buy a Quest 2 instead :) (if it's your first VR headset)
Technical thoughts:
Visual quality is great ,
Tracking is very good (flawless and very accurate)
All the software is great (steam VR and Vive software)
Controllers are pretty big but feel quality in the hand and most games have good control setups for it
