    The brutal truth about the HTC Vive Pro 2 including my top 5 things I hate. Are you tempted by this offering from HTC? Let me know in the comments below! Please note there is some stuttering in this video due to a processing issue. Sorry about that. Cheers all!

      I traded my HP Reverb G2 and bought the Vive Pro 2. That was a mistake in hindsight. I then sold the Vive Pro 2 for the Pimax 8KX.

      @@VRFlightSimGuy technically the fidelity on the g2 was better than the 8kx but the FOV on the 8kx more than makes up for it for me. Playing something like Elite Dangerous in the 8kx is truly amazing. If Varjo bring out a consumer version then the Pimax might go but until then I think I’m sorted. Now I just need to get my hands on an RTX 3080ti or 3090! You are so lucky to have one of those!!

    Was this mirror recording on your AMD system or your personal Intel / Nvidia pc? Funny to see you get lost on GA parking leaving but also arriving on airports lol :-) You need park assist on your Warrior II ;-) Fun video. Great scenery indeed. Got to check if I have that Orbx airport yet. Don't forget to update your Pilot Plus Bristol Airport to version 1.0.1. Loving the Word Update 6. I'll have to bookmark that Mic if I ever get that Varjo VR-3 because that does not have any Mic or headphone. Enjoy your nice setups and see you later my friend.

    3. MIC mod from AntLion is top - check
    Results:
    I got 1 and 3🤣
    Use the ModMic for my 8KX. A bit pricy but sound quality is excellent and easy to use.
    Thanks buddy and take care👍

      Hi, got an AMD 5950x 64 GB of ram with a EVGA 3090 from Scan. Ordered it back in January, it was delivered in May and I have finally been able to get over from France to collect it . Obviously the vario is the best set out there but I can't justify spending 3000 plus a yearly subscription.

      @kevinbrook7033 3 года назад +1

      I had that choice to make when I bought the Vive Pro 2. I genuinely preferred my Quest 2 which made me cry a little inside as it cost me over £1300 for the full Vive kit.
      Fortunately I was able to get my money back. Bought a Reverb G2 for MSFS and still use my Quest 2 for active games.
      These two headsets are by far the best for performance vs value imo.
      Looking forward to hearing what Zuckerberg announces at Facebook Connect next month.

    Crazy how different a headset can be for a person. I have the vp2 and gotta say
    1. Headset never gets warm (3+ hour sessions)
    2. Mic is indistinguishable between index/q2 vs vp2 in vrchat (blind test we have done to multiple groups of people)
    3. Audio has to much bass and lacks highs wich q2 does a better job at. But overall good audio.
    4. 1 thing we can agree on, screw htc about using these lenses. I hate these lenses with a passion.

    looks like they just slapped a higher res panel in the vive pro and put all their resources into the focus, which is a really nice design, but the old fresnel lenses are just ruining the potential of these 4K+ panels

      That's a strange thing to say. Quest 2 has terrible audio, terrible headstrap, terrible image quality because it doesn't support DP connection, one of the narrowest FOV in the industry, but it's pretty easy to use, the tracking is good too and sure it's quite cheap (it's of similar price to G2 in my country though - converted to USD: Q2 128GB is 580 USD and G2 is 650 USD). I have Quest 2 as well, but ever since I bought G2, there's no reason to ever connect Q2. If you are a PCVR user, Q2 is not a good choice. If you can afford it, buy G2.
