The Vive Pro's name and $800 price (headset only) tells you exactly who this VR headset is for. It's not for newbies looking to dip their toes into the expansive world of VR. It's not for anyone who doesn't have a gaming PC with at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX480 graphics card.

Super comfortable • Comes with built-in headphones • Streamlined cabling • Sharper displays

Super expensive • Need to buy controllers and lighthouses separately

If you can afford it. It's amazing quality, very comfort, easily adjusted for glasses, 2K O-LED display, built-in earphones, and well balanced on the head. Takes what's already good with the original HTC Vive and makes it's so much better. So much clearer and sharp readable text, etc.

The Vive Pro is the Bugatti Veyron supercar of virtual reality headsets – an exotic, expensive creature for VR connoisseurs.

Ok if you have spare cash and well into vr I would defo Recommend this. One major thing from the vive to the pro is being able to read The writing clearly in vr. The clarity of games seems so much better and you soon get use to the display.

It may sound like I'm not entirely sold on the HTC Vive Pro but that isn't the case. Sure, it's a lot more expensive than headline price might suggest and it's only an incremental upgrade over Vive VR, but it's undeniably the best VR headset on the market right now.

The HTC VIVE Pro turns out to be everything it should be. Today, it provides the overall best VR user experience you can find, which is why it is a no-brainer buy for Professionals. For non-professionals, it is less obvious since the VIVE Pro has not been designed to provide the "best value".

Absolutely amazing. I've had the htc vive and this is far superior I'm an avid sim race and flight sim enthusiast and this headset makes it look real enough to become more immersed. I've had to turn on supersampling and asynchronous reprojection In steam.

HTC's Vive Pro is the next-gen upgrade of its superb Vive, now known as the Vive ‘VR'. This represents the premium line in virtual-reality gaming headsets, with competitors Oculus, once the market leaders, now lagging behind HTC when it comes to room-scale VR.

Improved specs; Exceptional comfort; Simple Setup; Best VR headset in 2018

Expensive; High PC spec demands; Not enough improvements

The HTC Vive launched two years ago, it seemed like a side-bet from the Taiwanese tech company. Back then, virtual reality was as much an emerging idea as much as it was an emerging market. However, if their current fiscal condition continues to deteriorate, the Vive may well outlive their smartphones. It hasn’t taken long for the formula for what a modern, consumer-ready VR experience looks like to take a more solid shape - due in no part to the impact and popularity of the original Vive.

The lack of significant differences between the experiences you get out of this and the regular Vive leave the Vive Pro looking more like a luxury product than it is a landmark one.

Best-in-class display resolution; Versatile ergonomics;

Disappointing headphones; Relies on DisplayPort;

I have been having so much fun. I waited a month for this but it was well worth the wait. I haven't played with the previous equipment but the tracking works very well. The shells for the 1.0 work on these controllers as well from my experience.
