Review on HTC Vive Pro 2 Standalone Headset by Ada Kowalczyk ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's impossible to use, don't waste your money.

After reading the customer reviews, I placed an order with VRcover for a thin overlay that, in theory, should have solved the problems with field of view (FOV) and backlight (thanks to the double lenses, which are also used in the Valve Index, but this problem is not as noticeable there as it is in this helmet). However, the overlay did not have a significant effect on the issues: (I am disappointed).

Pros
  • Tracking Handy connection box a very lengthy chord Adorable physical form
Cons
  • Extremely limited field of view (vertical) Lights and so-called "Rays of God" (look at the last photo) little sweet spot Horrible sound quality on the headphones, with very no bass at all. The manufacturer claims that it is "Hi-Res" on the landing page, but in reality, it has the sound quality of an inexpensive Chinese cassette player. The headphones that come with the Valve Index and the HP Reverb G2 both produce a sound that is superior to this helmet in terms of its clarity, spaciousness, and depth of bass. In addition, these headphones do not adhere to the ears but rather hang at a distance from the ears, which makes it simpler to put the helmet on and take it off the wearer's head. Horrible materials (foam is used here, compared to the pleasant to the touch fabric on the Valve Index and HP Reverb G2) Horrible software that, as is the norm, did not run correctly the first time, even on a brand new installation of Windows, and needed the user to perform a dance while playing a tambourine (reconnecting the linkbox, reconnecting the helmet, etc.). Even after altering the resolution, you still have to wait for SteamVR to resume, which is something that irritates me from time to time. The headphones are made of a very weak material, and it is quite easy to damage or destroy them.
