HTC Vive Pro 2

I’ll admit, the Vive Pro 2 doesn’t sound like a great deal if you compare it to practically any other VR headset on the market, especially at its full $1,399 price. It’s in many ways an example of the greatest issue facing VR today: To get the best experiences, you’ll have to shell out a ridiculous amount of money, not to mention deal with a clunky setup process and annoying cables. That’s not stopping true virtual enthusiasts though — for them, and for businesses who need the highest quality VR around, the Vive Pro 2 is the new benchmark.

HTC’s latest high-end VR headset is far from affordable, but the Vive Pro 2’s virtual reality experience is unlike any other.

The HTC Vive Pro 2 has impressive resolution that removes screen door effect and gives new life to old VR games, but an odd FOV, design issues and a high price make it hard to recommend.

The awesome 5K display gives VR a new lease of life, but the HTC Vive Pro 2 is really only viable as an upgrade for existing VR advocates.

The HTC Vive Pro 2’s super-high resolution screen is a sight to behold, and represents the future of immersive VR. But the virtual reality headset’s outside-in tracking system and oversized controllers are starting to feel behind the curve.
