If you can afford it. It's amazing quality, very comfort, easily adjusted for glasses, 2K O-LED display, built-in earphones, and well balanced on the head. Takes what's already good with the original HTC Vive and makes it's so much better. So much clearer and sharp readable text, etc.

And if you want an accessible way to try the high-quality experience of tethered VR without worrying about your computer specs, the PlayStation VR with a PlayStation 4 or PS4 Pro remains our Editors' Choice for its ease of use and variety of content, even if it's a step or two behind the Vive and...

Crisp, high-resolution graphics; Good sound; Solid, comfortable build

Expensive; Doesn't include the base stations or motion controllers it requires to function; DisplayPort only

The Vive Pro's name and $800 price (headset only) tells you exactly who this VR headset is for. It's not for newbies looking to dip their toes into the expansive world of VR. It's not for anyone who doesn't have a gaming PC with at least an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX480 graphics card.

Super comfortable; Comes with built-in headphones; Streamlined cabling; Sharper displays

Super expensive; Need to buy controllers and lighthouses separately

I have been having so much fun. I waited a month for this but it was well worth the wait. I haven't played with the previous equipment but the tracking works very well. The shells for the 1.0 work on these controllers as well from my experience.

The Pro is a definite improvement, but it's only a v1.5 stop gap until the truly next-generation VR devices start to appear and an unfeasibly expensive one at that.

Incredible -- and incredibly expensive -- the Vive Pro sets a new standard of quality for virtual reality.

High resolution; Improved comfort; Solid build; Expansive software and game library; Hassle-free setup

Extremely high price for full setup; Controllers; sensors not included; Cable still gets in the way

While resolution will surely win the lion's share of the recognition, HTC has made a number of fantastic design choices on the Vive Pro that rival the resolution in terms of importance.

Improved visual fidelity; Built-in headphones; Gradually improving game library

Price isn't absolutely justified; Jitteriness with all non-new hardware; There's still no must-own title

While everyone's looking for the next big thing in augmented reality, HTC is still moving the needle for virtual reality with its Vive Pro headset. Equipped with high resolution AMOLED displays, integrated earphones with a built-in amplifier and spatial 3D audio, the Vive Pro elevates the VR market...

High resolution display produce crisp detail; Comfortable to wear over long periods of time; Works with original Vive gear; Integrated high-res; 3D spatial audio

Expensive; Doesn't come with base stations or controllers

The HTC Vive Pro brings a suite of welcome improvements to VR, but it's not quite the revolution we were hoping

Vive has added a whole new element to its latest Virtual Reality headset, in the form of augmented reality. With the development of Vive's 'SRWorks SDK' software – still in the early access testing phase – the premium VR headset is able to overlay images onto real scenes using its dual front-mounted...

Improved specs; Exceptional comfort; Simple Setup; Best VR headset in 2018

Expensive; High PC spec demands; Not enough improvements
