Amazing headset but if you have an AMD x570 chipset it may not work at all. I have been waiting for HP and Gigabyte to fix the issues but have almost given up hope.

Terrible software solution from Microsoft, have as yet been unable to get this working or playing games, can't get into the "clifftop house' in WMR, even thought steam sees the headset, it will not display games on it, the best I can get is a blank screen in WMR where I can see nothing but my controllers, tracking seems to work, but that's the end of it, this headset needs a way to completely bypass any Microsoft software, may end up returing it

If you have an amd x570 motherboard, the headset will not work and HP have provided no ETA for fixing it

The fantastic resolution gives it a boost in terms of sharpness, but it falls down on FOV and tracking volume. It's possible to get more for your money elsewhere.

Fov is a bit narrower than oculus, but the resolution and tracking are excellent, currently using it for DCS

Overall Im really happy with this unit. So much details and fits nice. I did however have to unscrew the ear pieces and fix a bad connection. It was making a disrupted sound as the contact points weren't connecting properly. I found online other people with this problem and was a very easy fix. I would defiantly recommend getting the unit with controllers though. I don't have them and have to wait some time to get controllers now.

Have had the device for nearly a week now, and still haven't got it working properly – complaining about needing a USB 3.0 port (as lots of people have experienced). I've followed every single troubleshooting step but nothing seems to work. You'd expect a WMR device backed by Microsoft should be the easiest plug & play experience, yet it appears to be the most error prone even though my system completely meets the requirements. May have to RMA if HP support (only available 9–5 weekdays in NZ) can't help. Will change my review if I can finally get it working, be pretty sad if I can't use it over my 3 weeks off around Christmas.

Once you get this headset going it's amazing. We had problems initially setting this up, the screen would go black and on and off. It was a pain.the eventual fix, reinstall windows 10 – now it works great. Another issue that might crop up, is when the volume is too high and games send very loud noise, the power draw on the headphones turns the screen off briefly – the current workaround: reduce your headset volume to 80%. Other than this, it has been a solid headset, excellent clarity, amazing sounds and fantastic refresh rate. Very impressive and definitely sets the standard for midrange priced but high quality VR.

The clarity in this headset is amazing – no more screen door effect. 4 stars out of 5 because of two reasons – the FOV is disappointing (it is basically the same as the Rift CV1, maybe if I mod it so my face sits closer to the lenses it will be better). Also, quite a few people experience hardware faults where it can't detect the USB cable. So you run the risk of having a faulty device and going through the RMA process, as I did. Thankfully both HP and MightyApe were forthcoming and quick to deal with, so I now have my replacement unit and this one works. Very happy I stuck with it and didn't opt for a refund.

This headset is a great virtual reality option, made convenient by the Windows Mixed Reality elements, easy controls, a comfortable fit, and some of the best visuals on offer too. However, the included controllers aren't our favourite and, yes, we wish it was wireless too.

Comfortable fit; Easy setup; Fantastic inside-out tracking; Interesting mixed-reality experience;

Velcro head strap system is a bit old hat; Controllers can be faffy; It's not wireless;
