Every VR headset has flaws and shortcomings, it’s an improvement over the HTC Vive Pro and comes with a slew of new features.

Incredibly sharp resolution

The combined resolution of 4896 x 2448 looks far better than 2880 x 1600 screens and allows you to play games more effectively. The combination of 5K visual clarity and 4896 x 2448 resolution brings out the finer details. Although the 5K resolution is susceptible to processing compatibility issues, it is still the best resolution for VR gaming.

Wide field of view (FOV)

The HTC Vive Pro 2 has a 120-degree Field of View, which allows for a more immersive VR viewing experience. This aligns better with human vision. It also has a slightly better FOV than the previous model. On the negative side, the FOV is still less than ideal. The lens’s closest setting is still too far away, and the field of view appears to be compromised.

Works with valve index controllers

The HTC Vive Pro 2 is a SteamVR headset that supports outside-in tracking and the Valve Index controller. It is lighter than the Index and a little more comfortable.

Replacement parts are readily available

Unlike Valve and other VR headset products, replacement parts for the HTC Vive Pro 2 are readily available from authorized dealers.

Seamless visuals

With a refresh rate of 120Hz, the HTC Vive Pro 2 is designed to improve your visual comfort in graphics-intensive games and apps. However, it is poorly calibrated, with excessive brightness and insufficient gamma correction. Probably calibrated for 1.8 gammas, and the majority of VR games lack this adjustment. It’s difficult to get everything in focus, it appears to have more glare than the Index, and everything else is just too blurry outside of a very narrow spot in the center. It’s difficult to appreciate the higher resolution.

Compatible with a wide range of users

Its well-balanced design and adjustability ensure a comfortable fit for VR sessions of any length or purpose. The headset accommodates a wide range of head sizes and vision types, including glasses.

Doesn’t Include Necessary Base Stations or Controllers

Very expensive, especially considering it does not include eye-tracking, despite the fact that the Vive Pro Eye does, and it does not include the wireless adapter, which has yet to be updated to support a higher resolution. The screen employs out-of-date LCD technology with low contrast and the inability to produce true blacks. Controllers, base stations, and the VIVE wireless adapter are not included with the VIVE Pro 2 Headset. The accessories are also somewhat old and out of date.

Expensive with inferior features

In comparison to the Valve Index and other products, the microphone quality is subpar. The cable sleeving quality isn’t great; it will wear and tear, causing the cable to be damaged enough to occasionally lose video signal completely after only one year of use. You’d expect higher-quality features for $799. The Headset cable can easily be disconnected from the Link Box by accident. It also causes discomfort because it creates relatively small concentrated pressure points on your head over time. The setup can take some time, and the headset can get quite hot while in use.
