It honestly depends on the specs. If its wireless, 120hz, Oled, and maybe hdr or high peak brightness, comfortable and long battery life then yes 500$ is consumer friendly

Not bad but doesn’t offer that much more rhan the quest at that price. Sure the balance and comfort looks better and there is a slightly better fov but idk…
Valve Index resolution is pretty bad compared to newer 4k headsets. There's a big difference in clarity. Valve is working on something new though. Hope it comes out next year.
I’m confused what their target market segment is. It doesn’t have strong catalog to attract gaming enthusiasts nor does it have correct price point to attract casual gamers.

Design is cool, but it's double price of Quest 2, and only has a 90hz panel. Resolution is okay. They should have pushed to at least 120. Maybe oled as the OG Vive had.
Hate all these spoon fed demos in environments made by the vendors. Wait for the eval kits to be sent out so that reviewers can review in their own places. Remember the Vive Cosmos fiasco?
It's 2023 and we're still stuck with 90hz and a 110° field of view...? Those are the same specs as the first HTC Vive 7 years ago. Pathetic and insulting

4k total view? No do your math and proper research. It's not 4k at all. Here's the math... 1920 per eye meaning 2x 1920*1920 is not 4k. Ok so 1920*1080 x 2 is not 4k. 4k is 4x 1920*1080. So your going by width 3840 yeah ok which is the width of 4k but the 1920 is not 4k it's 2160. This headset is a total of 3840*1920, you can't tell me that's 4k.
Yea, get a quest 2, better device for end consumers. What did HTC think with doing this goggles... makes no sense! This had to have a 400$ privepoint, not 1k more....

Just want to point out that 2k times 2 is not 4k, that is not how it works, one 2k display has one 4th the amount of pixels as a 4k, not half!
Also each eye getting 2k doesn't mean you get more resolution over all. Each eye is still seeing 2k, just in stereo.

On one hand, nice to see that more compact size of the Vive Flow made it to a more pc vr centric headset.

The price isn't the downside. The resolution and lack of Valve audio are the downsides. If those were there, then it would be pretty much perfect.

It is a bargain, if you already have a PS5.

It’s a “low end” enterprise headset! Just like the quest pro.
Doesn’t it also have 5G, the Snapdragon XR2 chip that’s in the headset is able to connect to 5G.
cant find info on the lens is it fresnel or pancake or something else?

can it stream games from a pc through wifi for a full cable free experience ?
