Pros & Cons
Pros

Tracking is robust, the headset is able to achieve a snug, but not strangling fit very easily. The screen quality is a lot better than my psvr headset though the psvr is more comfortable. It uses straps and certain heads may have a hard time finding t... Read More
The controllers are great too, but it's not uncommon for the controllers trackpads to develop a dead click on one side. The controllers work well but their shape may be a bit awkward at first and may slip out of hands during intensive games like beat ... Read More
My only gripe about everything is that i bought this a week before the vive pro was announced. Vr is in it infancy still so even though there are little things i could point out the main point is that it’s a great setup and a reputable company. Also v... Read More
Cons
Htc vive hardware is cheaply made and doesn't last. Why don’t they sell this simple clip for $5-$10 on their website at minimum? Very expensive - junk. Htc has been contacted for support.
After troubleshooting with the support they told me sorry - 90$ repair or you're out of luck. Tried deleting and reinstalling. After another two and a half hours of troubleshooting, they tell me that my rtx 2060 is not supported and give up.
Steam vr is clumsy with few customizations to your in-environment persona. The vive home environment is far less robust and customizable than the oculus home environment. Rift is much more well placed and is not difficult to adjust, making it one less... Read More
The vive has a beveled or strange circular things in it's lenses. If you look straight ahead, the vision is clear, if you look around the field of view, the visual image distorts and becomes unclear. The adjustment is difficult to adjust without tuggi... Read More

This headset was a big pain in the butt at first to start but i will put that down as my fault not the headset
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This headset is great despite being 4 years old its too bad the htc stopped making the og vive and vive pro for the cosmos which is much worse its too bad that lighthouse tracking now is becoming more of a luxury than standard

When i am forced to wear conventional glasses however it is simply not practical to use the vive headset
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For people who wear glasses rather than contacts for daytoday use i would say that renders this product all but worthless
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You will see and experience things you only could in vr including motion sickness if you get too wild and more people should get into it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Ill be writing this review as if id just gotten it ignoring the mentioned headsets
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This is also better in the sense that since valve had a hand in developing this most of the vr games will be compatible with this vs the oculus
