HTC Vive Pro review: Virtual reality without the rough, blurry edges
At $799 for just the headset, the HTC Vive Pro is probably destined to remain a niche product.
Pros:
- Increased resolution
- You can finally read text, Counterweight offsets the display, Folds in the rigid design and headphones from last year's Deluxe...
Cons:
- Expensive
- even for VR
- Built-in headphones are fine
- but not as impressive as HTC touts
- Counterweight sticks out a bunch and can make seated VR...

HTC Vive Pro review
The HTC Vive Pro is the VR headset successor to the first Vive . The Oculus Rift rival launched almost two years ago and since then the focus has been on making minor upgrades to enhance that VR experience.
Pros:
- Slightly easier to setup
- Great addition of integrated headphones
- Improved resolution
Cons:
- Doesn't include controllers/wireless adaptor
- Also lacks new base stations
- Still mighty expensive

HTC Vive Pro review
One thing is clear with the Vive Pro: it’s not a sequel. HTC is marketing this as a high-end alternative for its die-hard fanbase, while slashing the price of the original headset for VR newbies to a more affordable £499. Focusing solely on the hardcore audience then, it’s mission accomplished for the Pro. With the right games virtual worlds look fantastic thanks to the resolution boost, while the improved design and built-in headphones fix a lot of the vanilla Vive’s flaws. It’s expensive (especially if you intend on getting the wireless adapter) and the number of games that get the best out of the Pro is somewhat lacking, but in terms of hardware, the Vive Pro is undoubtedly the best VR headset that you can buy.
Pros:
- Certain games look stunning with Pro
- An incredibly more comfy and adjustable fit compared to the standard Vive
- Built-in headphones are much more convenient
Cons:
- Limited graphically-challenging game library
- Wireless adapter not included
- Overkill and too expensive for most people

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.

HTC's Vive Pro meets expectations, but doesn't exceed them
HTC's Vive Pro is the next-gen upgrade of its superb Vive, now known as the Vive ‘VR'. This represents the premium line in virtual-reality gaming headsets, with competitors Oculus, once the market leaders, now lagging behind HTC when it comes to room-scale VR.
Pros:
- Improved specs
- Exceptional comfort
- Simple Setup
- Best VR headset in 2018
Cons:
- Expensive
- High PC spec demands
- Not enough improvements
