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

Amazing tracking for the headset and controllers; Well placed buttons on the controllers blend well into the games

The headset does not have built in earphones instead a short pair are provided to plug in; (Fixable with the deluxe audio strap

HTC Vive is an amazing bit of kit that brings brilliant immersion. Not only is it for gamers as it can be used for creative purposes or simply watching a movie in your own personal cinema.

In the end I did not use the stands but will keep them should i change rooms, The steam set up tutorial was easy to follow. I have played elite dangerous on a monitor but in VR it is breathtaking the three D effect makes it seem real you can walk about your ship and look out of the windows at...

Quality VR experience with loads of software available through Steam

A wonderful three-dimensional experience that will take not only gaming platforms but I could see it bringing educational software to life. Good service as always from JL

Yeah, comes with 2 square things that need to be 2 meters up, it's not just a headset you can put on and install. Tons o' wires requiring at least 3 wall plugs and then it remains on while the computer is on, there is no off switch so you have to unplug the headset to shut it down.

Worth it!

It is a wonderful technlogy that will break for no reason after a few months of use. One of my sensor broke. It's usual for that brand I saw on the net... very disappointed.

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
