If you have the budget, the HTC Vive is the best virtual reality experience on the market, bar none.

Best VR experience; Intuitive controls; Software partnership with Valve;

Still a bit pricey...; Requires a high-end GPU; Less comfortable than the Rift

There's an ethereal, intangible effect that VR has on you, one which lingers long after the headset is off and you're back to your real life responsibilities. The technology still has a ways to go before it's user-friendly enough for the average gamer to set up, and it definitely needs to add some...

It was good, it keeps cutting out a lot, not sure why... but its decent, I do kind of wish I waited on purchase as new headsets just got announced for this year, I dont regret purchasing it that much, but I do wish its not cut out during my games, I would return it, but I think my base station can...

I bought this vive a little over a week ago and it's so fun. Beat saber is a must have game for it and I can have fun on it for hours. When I first got the Vive it came in a very nice box, it just took a while to set up and I had a few problems with steam VR but eventually managed to sort them out.

Started out great fun to play. About a week and a half past the return date the vive stopped working. We did all the trouble shooting on steam and htc's sites nothing helped. Contacted HTC Tec support they gave a few others to try but they didn't work. Sent the head set in for repair.

Easy to install and is very comfortable. I am usually very picky about sound quality and these sound great for what they are. They actually sound better than the headphones on the HTC Vive Pro I tried at a friend's.

I became a VR fanboy from trying out a friend's PS VR which in turned led me to building a PC just for VR (He's jealous now, lol). I really hope they keep improving on this product and release a 2nd generation that addresses the pitfalls of this generation.

1/3 of the cost of the Pro Kit

-A bit pricey as Rift is $100 cheaper; and the Vive Pro Kit (Better picture quality) is a ridiculous $1400

Pros: +WIRELESS +Light +Somewhat easy to setup Cons: -Unstable at times -Pricey -The battery could be bigger or could come with 2 Additional Notes: This changes everything for the vive and the tech its built on is cutting edge, supports 24 Gb Transfer rates WIRELESSLY, Definite recommendation if you...

Worth it!

My son bought this back in April. Then, a few months ago the controller pads stopped working correctly. As others have stated, this is a very well known design flaw. You will find all kinds of reports of this online, yet HTC won't admit there's a problem.
