Setup: Great, easy to do, just don't love the software Vive Console.

Design & Ergonomics: Bit outdated by now, but still one of the most comfortable headsets to me. But why does it get so hot at the top? Very 'uncool'.

Display: Significant upgrade, especially to Vive Pro 1. I think HP Reverb G2 is better, though, as it's able to keep better edge to edge clarity, and has a bit larger sweet spot. But not a dealbreaker. It's a good display IMO.

Lenses: Letdown. Lots of glare, but mostly noticeable only in high contrast colors like menus. In MOST VR games, you'll forget about this, unless you're super sensitive to it.

FOV: Thin VR cover = 115H, 97V perceived FOV for me. Great. Just the nose flaps make it less comfortable. In the video, I show you a comparison of all my measured FOV with multiple second gen headsets. If you're interested ;-)

Audio: Meh, weird buzzing noise, not sure if defective.

Performance: Good, better than Reverb G2.

Vive Wireless Adapter: Good, but a shame we don't get full resolution or refresh rate.

Conclusion: I don't dislike it but the price doesn't justify its value. Wish HTC would invest in content rather than expensive hardware...

Hope you enjoy & let me know your thoughts.
