Decent product but HTC will not sell replacement parts so the unit is worthless if anything breaks
If your life is perfect and nothing every gets lost of breaks, this may be a good gaming product.- DIdn't get to use it long enough to find them
- We lost a part
- HTC would not sell us a replacement
- They said to buy a new unit
HTC VIVE Review: The ULTIMATE VR Experience
OK look, I like to think of myself as a straight shooter, so I'm going to be super transparent here: I am a huge cynic. Yes, being a child of the 80's I'm not actually that old, but when it comes to tech I'm like the grumpiest of grumpy old men. I didn't think much of smartwatches (BAH!
HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset Review

HTC VIVE Review
Recently, we got the chance to take a look at the HTC Vive virtual reality headset for a three week test run. With quite a few virtual reality headset options out on the market right now, we were interested in finding out what exactly sets the HTC Vive apart from the rest.
HTC Vive
If you've tried Google Cardboard, Gear VR or the Oculus Rift and think you know what virtual reality has to offer, then prepare for a rude awakening. The HTC Vive delivers the most immersive virtual reality experiences available right now.- Incredible
- immersive free-moving VR
- Intuitive controllers with good battery life
- Solid selection of games already available
- Nothing else quite like it
- Pain to set up
- Software is buggy
- Expensive and needs lots of space
The HTC Vive offers the best in-home VR experience yet, but it's too unwieldy to truly enjoy for extended play sessions.
- Sharp and incredibly immersive VR
- Head tracking is superior to Oculus Rift
- Whole-room VR is impressive
- Motion controllers work well
- Expensive
- Tricky setup
- Uncomfortable to wear for long periods
love this thing use it all the time.
it's a wonderful bit of kit and while not perfect still blows anything else vr out of the water. feels surreal to use you have to try it to understand.
You could say revisiting our HTC Vive review eight months after launch doesn't make a lot of sense: Its hardware hasn't changed at all and its gaming library hasn't seen a dramatic overhaul. From another perspective, though, those are precisely the reasons to re-evaluate the Vive.
