If this headset would have been given for free the review would be very different.Mike ,Nathie and Geeeezer pal Chris all jumped into bed with Meta/Oculus years ago with long term contracts secured(Or So they Thought?) and despite their claims to be impartial All three work as consultants for various VR enterprise companies (I've Packed in the Day Job to be a professional KZitemr!) As they claim is bollocks! Mike has a healthy policeman's pension to fall back on.Brat Nathie is a child of family wealth and investments and Wassup Geeezeer (Chris) Uses other Ex KZitemrs to figure out what fingers to stick in various pies.The headset review is irrelevant.

This is such a shame. They dropped out of the consumer market for.... this? For such a high price tag and so many delays you'd think they would step back and review this further. All into the specs, nothing into the actual RnD and development time of the physical device. What a shame. Great review as usual

Also to add: The sabers on beat saber fly away due to the other controller occluding the sensors. It does the same on all other headsets when you out the controllers behind them (the ones that track on the headset anyway), however other companies such as meta seem to have a much better prediction system for this.

This review is 100% accurate. I picked one up hoping it would be good for PCVR in glasses mode with a direct USB-C connection. Not only was I completely wrong, the headset died within the first hour of PCVR use. The controllers are garbage, the headset isn’t comfortable, the standalone App Store was a graveyard, the lens adjustment is finicky, there was a foggy look to everything, and the default wireless PCVR settings are terrible. None of the free apps were available.

Keep in mind that the fearmongering from opticians about the "dangers" of using the wrong prescription ignores that they often times give the wrong prescription, and that it's just a ploy by them to keep their monopoly on the eyewear industry. Lots of lobbying dollars comes from them to fight online eyeware companies because the eyeglass industry is a monopoly.

I do think though that the hype staff likely have no idea what they are hyping up, otherwise, they would be actively lying over Twitter, and further eroding their own reputation. I do think that when products like this appear, there is something missing along the production cycle where they need to make sure they aren't proactively selling crap to people.

For a while HTC hasn’t convinced me to consider or look into getting their recent headsets and the XR Elite isn’t gonna change my mind as of right now. I have a Quest Pro which I’m already happy with. It has a better overall package but it also has eye and face tracking built in for just one grand. The controllers are amazing which can track themselves as well. While I can admit the pass through on the XR Elite is better but everything else on the Quest Pro in terms of features is far better. I hope that HTC takes a bit more consideration with the risks and avoid missed opportunities for their headsets and maybe they can realize that

I had the HTC Vive on release day many years ago, then I upgraded to HTC Vive Pro 2 June 2021, only to spend 6 months troubleshooting MULTIPLE faults with the headset. Ultimately it was lost in transmit the THIRD time sending it back to them! HTC tried to tell me they wouldn't refund for the lost headset when using their own courier from UK to Romania. In the end I got my money and I purchased a opened but new headset from Ebay and every single issue I had all went away. Proving HTC couldn't fix all the issues I had with it and it was a faulty unit all along. I have now just sold my HTC Vive Pro 2 the other day, never using HTC again. Finally I was able to uninstall their damn software from my PC too.

My facial interface fits fine and i don't get any extra pressure on my forehead or red lines. I absolutely LOVE glasses mode for PCVR for sim flying and Simracing. The diopters are the cherry on top since I'm in need of minor correction and never liked trying to cram glasses into headsets. I do miss the index controllers though. That's something I'd love to see improved.

Have you tried using an ethernet and power adapter with virtual desktop. You could power it over 30W while enjoying a stable ethernet connection in VD. This would cure the lower brightness issue, and allow users without a WiFi 6 connection to use it with VD. Ideal for sim racers and flight simmers. Something I'm going to try tomorrow when my XR Elite arrives. 🤞 If works as I'm only getting it for no battery sim racing.

I've learned the hard way with the Vive Cosmos that I will never buy anything from HTC ever again if I don't have to (like base-stations). The hardware wasn't even my issue with the Cosmos, because I only wanted to use it for sim-racing, but the software. Under different light-conditions like day and night it forced me to do a new room-scale setup and just at the end of the process I could choose a seating position, which than doesn't work in different light-condition. The Pico 4 in comparison is just perfect with tracking. It saves different play-areas and recognizes them in different light. A room-scale setting can be used for months and years. The display brightness/contrast and sound got a lot better with updates. The store is packed with games nowadays and seems porting games from the Quest 2 is a few clicks.

So it has its own battery. Which means I can't use my power banks? Or can I? Would plugging one in just charge the battery with it instead of plugging it into your computer or a power outlet? Its technically still doing the same thing. Drawing power from a power source. I would keep the power bank on the seat next to my leg (which gives five hours of play) before I have to swap it over with my second power bank. Which is what I did with the Quest 3. Though that has a fault on the charging port sensor. It keeps throwing up an error message about debris being in the port. When there wasn't any. I don't know how quickly this HMD uses up battery power but I don't think it'd be much more than the Quest 3. It has similar specs.

I own several consumer and enterprise hmds from Meta, Pico, and HTC, and the HTC Vive XR Elite is my favorite for the following reasons: (1) The headset is very light and comfortable when using the fabric facial interface, overhead strap, and battery cradle. It fits my average-size face and nose well, is nicely balanced, and the fan keeps everything cool and the optics free of condensation. (I keep the overhead strap positioned further forward than shown in this review.) Thankfully, there's no need to use the enclosed glasses wings (which feel like giant tweezers pinching behind my ears). HTC needs to offer longer replacement wings for the headset to be usable in "glasses mode." (2) The unique diopter adjustment is a godsend for people like me who are nearsighted and would prefer not to wear glasses or contacts when using an hmd. The lenses are as easy to adjust as focusing binoculars, with no need to visit the optometrist. The pancake lenses give a crystal clear view with a wide sweet spot and no god rays. There's a bit of cloudiness and light bleed in high contrast scenes, but it's not noticeable in most cases. (3) The new MR face gasket (2 for $25) is excellent for mixed reality applications, combining the camera view with your peripheral vision. It provides a sufficient offset so that people with astigmatism can wear corrective lenses (which is not possible with the fabric facial interface). It's also helpful for novice users who become disoriented or experience motion sickness with fully immersive VR interfaces. (4) The XR Elite delivers high quality video, pass-through, audio, and tracking, with performance as good or better than competitive headsets. The original list price ($1,099) is a hard sell, but with recent price cuts, promotions, and "used-like new" options available, it can be an excellent value. Of course the competitive landscape continues to change, with the introduction of the Quest 3 and next year's Pico 5 and Apple Vision Pro, but I'm very happy with the XR Elite and plan to keep using it as my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

Instead, and yet again, I'm trying to find a good forehead-slapping emoji to describe my feelings about what could have been a game-changing VR offering.

I'm currently doing research on VR for the first time and I was wondering, how does this compare to say: the Valve Index.

You mentioned a bunch of better alternatives at the end but missed the Pico 4 off the list. Just wondering if you don't rate it?

Yeah, I do rate the Pico 4. I think it’s a great Quest alternative []-)

I like they moved away from the base station tracking needed but the 1100 price tag is a no even if it was great. When the quest is slightly better when you consider price difference it's not a good sell for Vive. I can see this HMD being a bomb. They keep sending me emails to purchase it.
