While headsets are getting better and better, it feels like you still have to make compromises, as no headset really ticks off all the boxes yet. Hoping we'll see something in the future with the FOV of the 8KX, with the clarity of the G2 and a 120hz refresh rate. Also, OLED screens would be a big bonus too. If a VR headset could package all of those things together, it would feel like the gold standard of headsets.

I did the face cover mod on my G2 and it has a good FOV. The biggest problem was the open nose. I fixed the problem with a soft reading glasses case. I put the G2 nose part of the gasket over the eye glass cover and outlined it. After cutting it out, I Velcroed the nose piece onto it. This solved the light bleed through the nose.

As an ethusiast of fps vr games and the owner of first HTC Vive edition it was a no brainer for me to go for reverb g2. I use new headset with old Vive wands and for the reasonable price I have the best of both worlds : great tracking for controlers and fantastic headset resoultion. Downsides of the reverb g2 over vive are: smaller fov and image contrast (dark ares are almost grey on reverb) - both dowsides are something you just get used to over time no problem. Big problem for me with the setup above are headphones design, they stay away from the earsmeaning you will hear your GPU fans while playing - very distructing for immersion.

Great review buddy. I'm in love with my G2 and won't look for something else for at least a couple of years. At least, that's what I think. LOL Funny to hear what you say about the setup and errors. I've had roughly 200 hours in VR with my G2 and have NEVER experienced any problems with it whatsoever. Moreover, as I have a seated setup, the installation process was like a breeze tbh. But I have heard others having problems too, so I guess I'm just lucky. Just wanted to give my 2 cents, so people don't get scared away because of potential problems. Btw, I never thought about your hair until you mentioned it. Now I have to admit it looked TERRIBLE.... OMG (Just kidding m8 ) Have a great weekend !

Hi there Can you do a review of IL-2 with the Varjo Aero? This would be extremely helpful as spotting and, more to the point, aircraft identification is critical in this sim. Unlike MSFS (where it’s all about eye candy) or DCS (where the majority of aircraft have radar and IFF), the performance of VR is fundamental to being competitive in multiplayer and, based on your reviews of the Varjo in other sims, it would appear to be the holy grail.

I just recently bought the HP G2 V2 headset. Coming from the Rift S VR headset, My HP G2 V2 I can't seem to get used to the blurry/fuzzy parts of the lenses when just moving my eyes and are looking out beyond the seems like it is small sweet spot. I have an IPD of 60 which is on the small end of the HP lens adjust, could that be the reason, I don't know. My Rift S though less resolution, has a much better clarity across entire lens for viewing/moving my eyes around. I always seem to be adjusting the HP headset to get best clarity. Other than that, the HP G2 V2 sort of works for me for doing SIM Racing. Still trying different things for clarity. Note: I do have that plastic insert removed on the HP G2 to get eyes closer to lenses. Thanks for your review. Take care.

The pimax 8kx still remains the champion and one to beat for overall experience of clarity/wide sweet spot combined with unparalleled fov and doesn't have the glare the vp2 has.. Just increase the 8kx resolution moderately and you'll have the same ppd and clarity as the g2 AND have the immersion and situational awareness enhancing fov like no other hmd offers.. if you don't want to keep upgrading your hmd over the years the 8kx is the only hmd you need to invest in that will last you years

@@stevetb7777 no idea but why wait.. The 8kx is their flagship model now.. I don't think there will be one for years until gpus are much more powerful.. It's hard to beat now and the 8kx is one of the only future proofed hmds you can get now.. With time as software gets more optimized and hardware improves you'll get more and more performance out of it over time and can use for years without the need to keep upgrading.. Most other hmds are not so future proofed . They aren't going to get a wider fov in the future for example.. You will need to wait to see if a competitor comes out with a theoretical hmd with just as wide an fov.. But you could be waiting forever and end up spending more money overall constantly upgrading which is a false economy.. the 8kx is truly ahead of its time in of itself.. Considering it was released before the reverb g2, oculus quest 2 & vive pro 2 and is still way better and will remain that way for some time just shows how ahead of its time it is.. The only hmd I want to complement my 8kx would be the Varjo vr-3 with its human eye resolution and edge to edge clarity but that's over $5k after the minimum mandatory subscription and it still only has a standard binocular like fov

(I think some of the early batches from China had some QC issues but the current/newer batches from the amazon store are much better) That said, these wider lenses by their very nature cannot be treated like the typical narrow fov lenses- they work differently ipd wise- there are articles on this you can find online- if you give it the time the ipd issues can be fixed with taking the time to play with the ipd offsets, changing the thickness of the foam and many other solutions found online which helped me plus you can have exactly the same clarity as the G2 AND have a wide fov if you increase the resolution above 100% to get the same ppd as the G2 and if necessary compensate with fixed foveated rendering, reducing the fov a bit (but still way wider than the G2) , adding smart smoothing, reducing the refresh rate etc, but either way the sweet spot once you're in it it is way bigger than the G2 (according to Steve- I don't have the G2- couldn't use it anyway as it's ipd range is limited and outside mine at 71mm) so more of your view is clear than with the G2 anyway without moving your head and only using your eyes

HI. For AMD x570 motherboard setup with G2, I can have unlimited time (many hours) without any crash. but I have to do this: I have BIOS PCIE gen 3 (not 4) for usb related slot. gen 4 for graphic card only RTX3080. I have addon USB PCI-E card where I hook the G2 (not to motherboard USB). with that , no disconnect problems. In windows I have HAG OFF (clear crash effect) , Game mode OFF (no effect) . latest nvidia driver with default parameters (no changes since few older drivers) . I have not installed OPENXR developer tool (clear crash effect) this is equivalent of latest preview OFF and no re projection and custom render scale. Without that setup, crash will occur after some random delay from 5 min to 30min). I have tested by changing only one parameters at time to prove it. I did reduced flight sim parameters to get good frame rate. I have found addon GTN750 display to crash when playing with trafic window range. I will not use it for now. Moving title G1000 and G3000 are fine and I have navigraph tab without problems. I mostly use DA62X/42X and TBM930 but now I don't play with settings anymore.

Excellent review and info Steve! You're right about the G2 being a fickle beast though!! I have to do so much more tweaking with it than my Rift S. Now I have a big question for you Steve, and it's about the msfs developers tool that you used to compare FPS thru the lens for the G2 and Vive Pro 2. When I enable the developers tool to try using it to study my fps, it is so high up and to the right in my display that I can only actually view a very small, even tiny portion of it in the upper right corner of my VR screen that it is unusable. While yours is nicely centered and in full view! Is there a way to adjust where the developers display views at in relationship to the center of your field of view? If so, can you tell me how it's done please? Thanks again and great job Steve!

These foolish tracking stations provide the BEST EXPERIENCE by far. Until inside-out tracking can match it, my foolish tracking stations aren't going anywhere. I think that will take several more years. G2 tracking is absolutely abysmal and disastrous compared to my foolish tracking stations when playing games that need vr controllers. G2 controller tracking is awful. Have you actually tried these foolish tracking stations before? =D For people who ALREADY have these stations from a previous headset (such as HTC Vive, Vive Pro, Index, etc) the VP2 could be a make-sense upgrade/sidegrade. I am going to try it out since my G2 still crashes all the time on my top-end AMD system. I can use my G2 with the tracking stations using dongles and extra software... but it isn't perfect and seems to introduce delay. Heck, I think I just decided to get a VP2. Sure there will be a better headset within the next year. That's fine, I'll buy that. I seem to upgrade at least once a year now. Maybe twice.

@@stevetb7777 Strange, my G2 inside out tracking is very good and never had any problems with it. I was so happy to ditch the sensors. Each to their own tho.

@@gogsie59 G2 definitely loses tracking, hands get stuck momentarily (until it "sees" the controllers again).. bad things happen. Maybe the way you play and position your hands normally is within the tracking range of the G2. It also depends on what you play. For me, I have to modify the way I play games in order to use the G2 controllers/tracking. For example, bringing the controllers in close to my body and under the headset - it doesn't see them anymore. It is useable, don't get me wrong. It does not have the precision and range of lighthouse tracking though, not even close. Not everyone will notice the difference it seems, and for some it is night and day. Lighthouse tracking isn't just more accurate, it is also much "smoother". Maybe there is a higher polling rate. I don't know. Mine are mounted in the corners of my room at the ceiling height - and I have painted wire moulds hiding the wires. So I don't mind them at all, they are a semi-permanent installation.

@@stevetb7777 Definitely depends on what you play, I had the cv1 before the G2 which had great tracking until the sun shone into my room and it was a bit hit and miss. I mostly play flightsims and racing games with a bit fps thrown in and the G2 has exceeded my expectations regarding tracking. Of course I've never tried anything else so I can't comment on the tracking on the Index of others. The future is bright tho with so much choice now.👍

Won't be seeing life like headsets under $1,000 in a while until gpus get significantly more powerful and ground breaking micro architectures are released. At the moment every vr headset has its ups and downs. But in the meantime. Base stations lead to an incredible experience.
