When you can't tell the difference between your studio mic and the valve index mic... 😳

[ragesaq]

So they literally touched nothing except the screens and lenses, this seems like a pretty low effort "upgrade" that leaves some very glaring flaws in place. I had a small amount of hope HTC was back in the game based on the excellent 3.0 trackers, but maybe this is a wake up call that they were barely in it in the first place.

[FiliusFidelis]

once again one kinda get the feeling that HTC just can't really be bothered to care.

I am owner of HP Reverb G2. And I decided to try out Valve Index recently. The tracking and controllers are superb. But the resolution, common, I cannot play in Valve after HP G2. So I thought it would be nice to have superb tracking and resolution. And here we go, I ordered HTC Vive Pro 2 which, in my opinion, has it all in one.

This was such a great and refreshing review. Really appreciate the honesty!!

[krectus]

Really interested to hear how they manage to get lossless compression at 1/3 the bandwidth than it should be.

[MarcWeertsMusic]

Great review, but thoroughly disappointed at the lack of innovation. Really think my next headset will be from Valve.

[funkee]

One of the best reviews of vive pro 2 on YouTube, especially with a microphone comparison.
Speaking about vive pro 2 itself, even tho the upgrade from the original vive pro isnt so spectacular, seems like its easily better option than both valve index and G2, especially for the ppl who just starting with VR. Im think im another one that HTC catch and gonna oreder it in next days. And i rly hope that wont be a waste of money...

[ProjectJamesify]

Should have called it the "HTC Vive Not-Really-Pro 1.1." 😔

[ShadeStep]

For anyone playing Blade and Sorcery, the Vive wands seem to be easier to use for rapid swordplay (basically the entire game) rather than the Valve Knuckles.

[ImadMahdi]

It's really sad to see after 3 years it has the same mic, same design, same audio, same controllers.
What happened to HTC?

[vtidsvr]

I know you touched on it, but in your experience how does the sweetspot/central area of optimal clarity compare to that of the G2. I know it depends on face shape/eye depth etc but for me the G2 was unusable because of the peanut-sized central sweetspot with blurriness elsewhere. Thanks.

You asked, I'll answer. The new mic you mentioned at the end of the video is a GREAT improvement in your video audio quality. Me being a first time viewer I checked some of your other videos for reference. I'd tell you great job on the videos, but you already know you're killing it, friend. Subbed and looking forward to seeing more.

Many thanks for the Review Mike!

As an owner of the OG Vive Pro + Index + Base stations + Wireless adapter.
I can't wait for the PRO 2. The reason I am buying one is exactly that! BUMP in resolution and FOV.
Also having the ability to play in Wireless mode without any VIDEO compression (ulike Quest 2) and swap batteries on the fly (unlike Quest 2) it's a no brainer for me.
Looking forward to the Vive Wireless Adapter update as well ^_^
As for games, I am mostly looking forward playing (and developing some AAA VR game mods for games that actually have proper graphics like HL-Alyx).

[StreamingDummies]

This is exactly what I was hoping to find before that discount expired! Thanks Oasis for helping me confirm some of the suspicions I had about the headset!

[davidkihlstrand]

Good review! Always seems like HTC is doing too little too late for them to get ahead. Excited for what Valve has to reveal though, hopefully getting some official news soon!

[Flutter_Batty]

I am interested in getting this headset separately. I got a secondhand OG Vive from a friend, and I am having some complaints about the screen in it. I've noticed that this headset however is fully compatible with the rest of the setup I already have, so it would be really nice.

[Skarredghost]

Great job with this review, it was very easy to watch it from the start to the end! I haven't had the opportunity of trying it, but more or less from outside, I had the same impressions. The lack of PC VR content may kill the market of high-end headsets... unless PSVR 2 comes to the rescue

[andychicago]

Preordered and will play Alyx for the first time. :) Hopefully it will arrive next week.

[ryanversfeld]

I picked up an open box deal and got the vive pro 2 for £399. Had to order the index controllers and base stations tho. Headset still in perfect condition.
