Review on HTC Vive Pro 2 Standalone Headset by Ricardo Ware

Every VR headset has major flaws and flaws, but all in all I think the HTC Vive Pro 2 is the best VR gaming headset for consumers is that there is. I switched to it from the Valve Index, I would do it again, but there's a lot wrong with the Vive Pro 2 too. Pros: - The fact that it's a SteamVR headset with external tracking and compatibility with the Valve Index controller - The combined 4896x2448 resolution not only looks a lot better than 2880x1600 screens, it allows it to be also help you play games more efficiently. This was one of the two main reasons I switched to the Vive Pro 2. Aftermarket add-ons, from new pads and pads (which I need) to the HTC Vive Tracker 3.0 for full-body tracking (be warned of unreliability and incompatibility with these devices). However), Vive Wireless Adapter, Vive Facial Tracker and hopefully soon Droolon F2. The other main reason I bought this. - Slightly improved field of vision over the previous model - Easily available aftermarket parts unlike Valve - Enough breathable design that doesn't make you sweat excessively. A big improvement over the index here. Cons: - Poorly calibrated with too much brightness and not enough gamma correction. Probably calibrated for gamma 1.8, and since the vast majority of VR "games" don't have this setting, I'll stick with it. The Valve Index appears to be calibrated to the correct Gamma 2.2. Very expensive, especially considering it doesn't even support eye tracking, although the Vive Pro Eye does, and given that it doesn't come with a wireless adapter, which is still there. It has been updated to support higher resolution. Very narrow focal spot. The screen uses outdated LCD technology with poor contrast that cannot deliver true black. FOV is still not ideal. Poor headphone solution compared to Valve Index. Poor microphone quality. The quality of the cable jacket is not very good, it looks like it has been subjected to the same flexing and wear and tear as my index, causing the cable to become so damaged that sometimes after only 1 year of use it completely lost the video signal lost. For $799, you're expecting a quality braid. The headset cable can easily be accidentally disconnected from the link box. comfort issues. Pressure points on the head that cause discomfort over time. Also, I can't find the perfect fit, which causes the headset to move (thus losing the central sweet spot) during intense play in games like Blade & Sorcery. - No weaknesses of the headset, but HTC has not yet found a competitor to the Valve Index controller, which in itself is far from perfect. Despite all its flaws, this is still my most recommended VR headset for the clarity, the extras, and because I only recommend SteamVR headsets for the Valve Index controller compatibility. and SteamVR base stations, which are as good as tracking at the moment. Also, for all its shortcomings, I still find virtual gaming a must, and so I'd love to play most of my favorite games if it were possible. A lower price could have given me a 4 star rating.
