HTC VIVE Pro Starter Edition- Virtual Reality System

Great works like a charm

Its an awesome VR headset, it is a little difficult to config it properly, also, you should check if your hardware is compatible (including cables). But, when you correctly set up it, then you will have an awesome product. Beware of space and room conditions beforehand, too many windows/light may cause interference in tracking.

Worked for a while, less than a year, and now after a month of chat and email exchanges with both Steam and HTC I am giving up. The controllers just stop working. Yes they are charged, paired, up-to-date, —- I could go on with all the hoops I’ve jumped thru to reach the point of compilation. I don’t get the 4.1 Stars avg? If I did the math I think a 900 number would be cheaper entertainment.

In case you were wondering, Half-Life: Alyx is not included. (Btw: running a core i5 9400f with an RTX 2070, and 16gb of ram) Ive only had this headset for two weeks, so keep that in mind, and its my first VR headset ever. I dont believe HLA makes a VR Headset worth it at the moment. The included controllers makes locomotion awkward because touch pads does not equal the tactile feel of a joy stick. Makes moving feel like riding a skateboard. Just teleport when you can, or get the Index controllers. That being said: HLA is a great game and was an awesome experience. Completely spoiled all other VR for me. As for motion sickness: I rarely felt motion sick, I could game for hours in this headset. It only occurred when there was a sudden drop in frame rate (which mostly occurred in loading screens) 90 fps is good enough for me. The breakaway box has only caused me problems once. The cable that runs out the back of the headset and is only a slight annoyance. The included headphones are great, I wouldnt suggest removing them because a full, over ear headset would just be awkward. I dont think the headset would accommodate them very well. If you must stop using them, use ear buds. Room scale was easy enough, just make sure you keep your base stations steady. They dont NEED to be facing down at a 30° angle, however, they can be easily disturbed if something tugs on the cable. Steam VR still isnt perfect and I get an annoying glitch where I get no audio unless I restart steam. Lastly, dont punch your monitor by accident. ----------------------------------------------- 1 year Later ------------------------------------------------------------- I still enjoy this headset, though I did have to replace one of the lighthouses, but htc was kind enough to replace it for free. The headset still works as advertised, however I can no longer recommend this headset as there are superior and cheaper alternatives out there (like the Oculus Quest 2). I definitely feel buyers remorse, but until I have a good reason to replace this headset, I am going to stick with it because its adequate.

Broke immediately and then while under warranty HTC made consumer pay for return shipping and again sent defective. My neighbor Charlie Gibson has been updating me on the difficulties with this company for months. Recently she showed me the new replacement she had received from HTC which while well padded was in pieces. The third time they had sent her a defective replacement. Avoid this companies products or buy a third party warranty. How disappointing.

We should be able to put negative stars. This product is absolute garbage. My GF and I both bought systems at the same time. Identical pc’s and identical HTC Vive First of all.. you cannot actually follow the instructions because the vive software allows 3 ways to make an account. Google, facebook, or Steam None of them work.. an apology page for facebook, and 500 Server error for google and steam. We managed to get hers to work, but one of the controllers bricked after the first charge cycle (yellow light stuck on controller.. yes tried all remedies you can think of). During my setup.. all the hardware needed updates. Headset.. no problem. First base station.. no problem. 2nd base station.... hung on the update screen that warns you not to breath on it while it updates.... an hour later.. nothing Followed instructions ... restarted everything.. Bricked.. no base stations detected and nothing will change it. This was an 1100 dollar nightmare. Not to mention the pc i bought specifically for it. Do NOT buy this trash! You will regret it.

Bought this to test play my VR game that I have been working on. The high resolution is what made me get this VR headset instead of others. Setup is easy and quick. Only bad thing the mic constantly cuts out will work for a moment after disabling then enabling then cuts out agian.

I have tried the oculus rift s before and now i have this, and i am very happy with this purchase. Yes, setting it up took longer than the oculus. but at least i have flawless gaming with the lights turned off ! also, i had no problems whatsoever that were mentioned in other reviews i was scared to get it because of that, but i have no problems thank god. Maybe updates have fixed things? I hope everyone who gets it has a great experience as i have had these past few weeks

I got this for my son for Christmas. He loves it

I wanted to enjoy this product but I found the visor too heavy and hot and the slightest misalignment in wearing the visor takes one or both eyepieces out of focus. Its very sensitive to precise positioning on the face. To keep it in place it had to be strapped on so tightly I sort of felt like I was wearing a Half Life 2 face crab but one equippedwith VR, if a face crab supported VR. The resolution wasnt high enough for the flight simulations I wanted to use it with - DCSs, even though theyre supported - and I found myself yearning for my LCD panel and trackir setup instead of using this item - and the controls should really be mesh gloves with finger tracking instead of awkward sticks. HTC nailed the tracking: The control and visor tracking was dead on.
