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: The best VR experience, bar none... if you can afford one

The HTC Vive Pro is undeniably the best virtual reality experience available today... if you can afford it. There are a multitude of improvements over the original headset. The Pro is more comfortable, easier to pop on and off thanks to the new adjustment wheel, and its better fit makes for greater...
Pros:
  • Incredible visual improvements
  • Excellent Hi-Res and spatial sound enhancements
  • Comfortable fit and easy adjustment

Cons:

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.

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.

I was disappointed to find that I really couldn't do anything with just the headset alone. I guess its my fault for not doing the research but my assumption was that after spending over 800 on a headset, I would receive controllers and the required devices to actually use it.

Comparing many maufacturers and Vive Pro is at the top

I wanted NOT to like this. It does help getting an open box at Micro but still costly. At first I hated it but in the end it was that I'd gotten used to Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) Portal. Steam has it's own idiosyncrasies and the Vive too has it's own. You need to get used to each for a few hours.

Don't forget to decorate!

I really wanted to love the Pro the way I've loved the original. I'm giving 4 stars because the headset deserves a 5 but the new lighthouses deserve a 3. When I got the pro, some steam glitches made it have a bunch of issues (Not the fault of the vive) but identifying those issues was made much more...
