HTC VIVE Pro Virtual Reality Full System

I kept going back and forth with my husband on which VR to get. We chose this one mostly because it was the only one available at the time, but also because we looked it up on YouTube and a lot of people were recommending it. It took a little longer than expected to receive this item, probably because of COVID-19. However, we received it still in reasonable timing, and we have no regrets. Yes, it's a little pricey.. especially when you can go get the Oculus or the PSVR for way less. But let me say this, you get what you pay for in VR. Meaning, the quality is so much better in the HTC Vive than the Oculus or PS VR. I can say this because I have both. The game options are endless on PC versus the PlayStation. The controllers on the HTC Vive are comfortable and very responsive. It comes with two base stations, and when you're setting up the VR it asks you to set boundaries. Basically what it wants you to do is to take a controller and walk around the room to let it know when to inform you that you're too close to something. So say you walk into a square, and you put the headset on... If you walk too close to your refrigerator, there will be a wall that shows up in the VR to let you know not to go past that point or you're going to run into something. Lol unfortunately, there's no way for it to know where the ceiling is so be careful on that. If you have the option, I recommend a room with high ceilings, as my husband has already destroyed a light fixture while playing Beatsaber. Lol The only complaint with the HTC Vive is when you want to add add-ons. That's when it becomes a little bit more tricky and frustrating. For example, the wireless option... The HTC Vive has the option for wireless play, by buying a wireless adapter and installing it. Which is actually rather easy to do. However, it doesn't work as expected. So if you're wanting this VR because of the wireless option, just know that it's not very solid. It is beneficial for some games to have wireless, but your sacrificing quality for it. The battery life on the wireless is awful, and it'll occasionally cut out in the middle of your game which will throw you off your balance when you're in the middle of a gunfight and the whole screen goes black. Lol So just keep that in mind when buying VR. If you're buying it for the accessories, definitely look up reviews on said accessories. Other than that, we are very pleased with our VR. As you all know, it is expensive. But I promise you, you're going to have a blast with it. Just make sure before buying it, that you're going to play it enough to be worth the money. The quality itself is worth the money, but what really makes it worth it is how much you use it. Don't buy VR if you're only going to play it a couple times. If that's the case, go to a friend's house who has one. Another thing that I would like to point out is the physical sensation of being in this VR. What I mean is, a lot of VRs, especially when they first came out... Had a bunch of warnings about possible seizures, and other things that could happen because of the VR. For example, losing your balance or getting lightheaded or motion sickness... It happens. But, this VR is by far the most comfortable one that I've worn, and the least likely one to get me sick or to throw me off balance. I have played this VR for about 45 minutes at a time, Max. And I have yet to have any issues with dizziness or nausea, seizures, whatever it is. Where I can't say the same thing about the PSVR or the Oculus. The PSVR, is notorious for making people dizzy and nauseous (motion sickness). Even if you're only playing it for 15 minutes. That is a huge difference in the two VRs. So definitely keep that in mind when you're trying to justify the cost. It's going to be much more comfortable, and you're going to last longer in VR than you would in a cheaper headset. One last thing that I would Life to point out is the quality of the speakers on the headset. Unlike the PSVR, the HTC Vive Pro has speakers built into the headset. You can either have them up and away from your ear so you can hear other people and the game, or you can have them against your ear so that all your hearing is the game. They can get very loud, and they're actually really good quality speakers. You don't need another headset while using this VR. Just use the headset that it comes with, because it's good enough.

Bulky but the quality of the build is top notch picture quality is unmatched by other VR headsets. Tracking is good sound quality good 👍🏽

I bought the Vive Pro with Eye Tracking along with 3 base stations about 8 months ago, a month later I bought a second Vive Pro and 3 more base stations for my wife to play with. Last month a base station stopped working so I logged in and followed the steps to return it, two days latter Vive sent me a new one! a week later my thumb pads stopped working on two of the hand held controllers. I tried the calibration but no luck. I was worried that the replacement of the base station would make it harder to get the controllers repaired but NO, they were Fantastic to work with and replaced the controllers within two days. I spent over $5000.00 in vive gear and they were great to work with and the VR experience is fantastic. I would recommend this to all our friends! Thank you VIVE!!! We also bought 6 body trackers, 3 for each set and haven't used them yet. I would suggest you do some research to see if the trackers are for you.

I am changing my review from a 5 star rating to a 1 star rating due to the terrible customer service that HTC offers. I have owned the Vive Pro a little over 6 months and the link box died 2 months ago. After calling Amazon, I was referred to HTC for warranty repair; no problem I thought. I created a ticket through their email system same-day the link box died. *****There is no Customer Support Phone Number and if you do try another HTC department thinking you can escalate, HTC still cannot help you***** It took over a week for someone from HTC to respond. After getting stuck into a month loop of questions and waiting days for a response, HTC finally agrees to exchange my link box. We'll it's been over 3 weeks since the agreement, and I still do no have a a tracking number or have received the new link box. I am also not getting a response on the emails asking if the device has shipped. Yes, this box is around 40-50 bucks, however it is the principle of the matter that the warranty department refuses to service the issue or care about their customers. When the Vive Pro works, it's solid and way better than anything I have tried on the market. I have a friend that has the Oculus and another that has a regular Vive. Both have purchased the Vive Pro after trying my Pro out. Now, I regret influencing them in-case their Pro has issue and they are ran through the nightmare I am going through. Take my comments as a grain of salt, however this is an expensive product and you would think HTC would care about their customers. Especially the early buyers. All I can say, buyer BEWARE!

I was confused when I got this... I swear I purchased the last NEW one, however Amazon had pushed the used version onto my cart. So it was a little weird getting an open box. It works ok tho, a little scratched up. Next time Ill buy direct. Wasnt too happy about this Amazon slight of hand.

I bought the bundle HTC Vive Pro and found it easy to install and great to watch/play. The graphics quality is very good and, with Steam, the number of games/programs available is ever increasing. I'm very happy with my purchase. However, I find that it's very expensive to upgrade it to become wireless.

Es una compra que tenía que hacer recibí el artículo nuevo, sin detalles, en su caja, y en perfecto estado

Pour le prix, c'est loin d'être satisfesant. L'angle de vue insatisfesant, la netteté des objets éloigné sans détail (le top d'une montagne) et exige des stations de détection contrairement a la concurence.

After 3 weeks of a few hours after work every few days one of the base stations errored out and I have had to send in for a replacement under warranty. Great headset though. Good detail definition. Decent controllers. Everything was in the package and worked well after the first setup.
