Amazing

Absolutely amazing. I've had the htc vive and this is far superior I'm an avid sim race and flight sim enthusiast and this headset makes it look real enough to become more immersed. I've had to turn on supersampling and asynchronous reprojection In steam.

HTC Vive Pro Review

The HTC VIVE Pro turns out to be everything it should be. Today, it provides the overall best VR user experience you can find, which is why it is a no-brainer buy for Professionals. For non-professionals, it is less obvious since the VIVE Pro has not been designed to provide the "best value".

It may sound like I'm not entirely sold on the HTC Vive Pro but that isn't the case. Sure, it's a lot more expensive than headline price might suggest and it's only an incremental upgrade over Vive VR, but it's undeniably the best VR headset on the market right now.

Good upgrade

Ok if you have spare cash and well into vr I would defo Recommend this. One major thing from the vive to the pro is being able to read The writing clearly in vr. The clarity of games seems so much better and you soon get use to the display.

HTC VIVE Pro Virtual Reality Headset Upgrade

If you can afford it. It's amazing quality, very comfort, easily adjusted for glasses, 2K O-LED display, built-in earphones, and well balanced on the head. Takes what's already good with the original HTC Vive and makes it's so much better. So much clearer and sharp readable text, etc.

The Vive Pro's name and $800 price (headset only) tells you exactly who this VR headset is for. It's not for newbies looking to dip their toes into the expansive world of VR. It's not for anyone who doesn't have a gaming PC with at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX480 graphics card.
Pros:
  • Super comfortable • Comes with built-in headphones • Streamlined cabling • Sharper displays
Cons:
  • Super expensive • Need to buy controllers and lighthouses separately

The Vive Pro has everything we wanted in HTC's original VR headset. But it's incredibly expensive, especially if you need to buy new accessories. At this point, it's clearly only meant for VR professionals.

HTC Vive Pro review: Virtual reality without the rough, blurry edges

If virtual reality is an early adopter market, then the HTC Vive Pro is for the earliest adopters. The first refresh we've seen to consumer VR headsets in two years, it's destined be niche-not so much a Vive 2 as a Vive 1.5, with all the connotations that brings.
