I must say, coming from a vive pro with lens mod the pro 2 has much more glare but in game I can't notice at all and am super impressed. Best headset I've owned for sure . No problems with software or hardware
A review suggestion: when you review headsets, as FOV, and maybe sweetspot, is so dependent on how your face and eyes are shaped, could you have a friend, or girlfriend, measure it too? They don't have to be in the video, you just tell their results. This is something I miss in VR headset reviews.
I haven't read of anybody else having those same problems with the Vive Console software (freezing, crashing, not "liking" SteamVR). And it works 100% fine for me so far. My problem is the forced 45fps cap (on 90 Hz) and ghosting even while Motion Control is turned off. My GPU is nowhere near being fully utilized. No other HMD does this, AFAIK. They all offer a free-ranging FPS mode, where the FPS is just whatever the PC can render.
@@Helifax19 Of course if your PC can always hit 90 then it doesn't cap at 45. And yes, if you can hit 90, then during a frame spike the FPS display will show a brief excursion due to the polling method (it's showing a rolling average over a few seconds, not precisely real-time). It's really capping briefly at 45 then releasing. But it will NEVER actually settle in between the range of 45-90 fps, like it absolutely does on other HMDs. Vive is preventing this.
I got mine last week and the 45fps isnt something I have. There is an option in the software that you can set to make it force 45fps or even 1/3 the Hz or an Auto mode that will put it to 45FPS IF you cannot handle a steady 90. I have it disabled and I just use the steamvr built-in FPS limiter (45fps lock for my sim games and full range FPS for my gun/mmo style games)
I had planned Vive Pro 2 coverage and pre-ordered the headset immediately. HTC took my money and never sent the order. They claimed the order was never finalized but they took my money. It was also fight to get my money back. It looks like the Pro 2 turned out exactly how I expected, I'm not going to bother getting one
I had exactly the same situation, I placed the order right after "Pre-order" was available and Almost 3 weeks after the release date HTC didn't even bother to ship my HTC VIVE PRO 2.
Thomas, please remind me, did you have the same issue with the G2 where only the central part of the display was a really nice clarity and everywhere else was blurry? The issue you're describing with the Pro 2 is exactly as I expereienced with the G2, which is why I returned it; but I get the impression you didn't have that issue with the G2?
@@voodoodevr-en thanks for confirming. Since we had opposite experiences with the g2 I will keep my pro 2 pre-order incase I don't get the issue that you have with the pro 2, although I am tempted to cancel.

The old vive pro 2 probably broke because you didn’t turn off the link box if you dont turn it off the headset is stil running and if you leave it on for a night the display could burn like you’re old vive pro 2
it doesnt really "broke" some lines appear on the screen they dissapear after 2 hours on it being off and proly never happen again,100% will be easily fixed trough software and it will stop the hmd completely when on stand by.
I brought a Vive Pro 2 and I'm dissapointed that they restircted the max IPD to 70mm (as I have 75mm) and the sweet spot is very small, and god rays are bad. I found the FOV to be larger than the Vive Pro and a lot wider than the HB Reverb G2. I'm trying return my Vive Pro 2 or I'll sell it. The Vive and Vive Pro had a max IPD of 74mm, I don't understand why manufactures are not making HMD's to cater for larger IPD's. The VP2 lenses have a very small sweet spot, compared to the G2 (with max IPD 68mm), I was able to focus better in the G2, but still out of focus. I also don't like Windows Mix Reality, it creates pretend virtual screans that I have to disable. The Valve Index is not available in Australia, so I don't consider it as an option. I'm not touching an Oculus, first the max IPD is too small, secong I don't want Facebook advertisements in my games. I just brought the Pimax 8K X (was the same price as the VP2 with an Amazon sale), and I'm impressed, the manual max IPD is 70mm and then there is a software IPD adjustment so I can get to 75mm, the upscalling works a treat, the fixed foveated rendering works well with most games, then you can adjust the FOV, colours and other things in Pi Tool. It is amazing. The Pi Tool takes a while to pick up the HMD, annoying but gets there in the end. I had trouble first installing it, as the firmware update crashed and I had a horrible red-green-blue flashing problem, which I only fixed by setting it up on another PC and updating the firmware from it. It's colours are not as vibrant as the VP2 or G2, and the pixel density is a little lower, if the VP2 was 100%, then the G2 is 95% and the 8K X is 90%, practically no screen door affect. Next I need to save up to get Valve Index Controllers, they cost $1,000 in Australia, the same as the G2 and only $300 or $400 less than what I had to spend to get the VP2 and 8K X. Fortunately we can't travel anywhere in Australia, with the boarders shut, so not spending money on travel or accommodation.
I have an 8700k @5Ghz a 2080Ti and the Vive Pro. . You need to turn the steam VR resolution down from the 150 which you currently have it set at, down to 100%. This will give you the 90 fps back.
Unfortunately have to buy it to try it a lot of times, and even after review after review I'm at a stalemate trying to come up with the best replacement for my Oculus Rift S
I've owned the vive pro 2 since launch and it's fantastic. I'm using a high end pc and vive pro wands. I've owned most headsets including index and pimax 8k. This surpasses them all in terms of ease of set up and subsequent start up and also image clarity. Very immersive. Replacing the face cushion with a 10mm one is essential. Fully recommend
I have a 8kx and I like the pro 2 better i use it wired for iracing 120hz and use wireless for roomscale games. I do use the pimax comfort kit foam on my pro 2 and it brings my eyes ready close to the lens its 30% sharper and good sweet spot now.
@@sean.d7171 Hi, why do you prefer the VP2 please? I have to return mine anyway due to the vertical lines with head movement currently effecting a lot of owners, and was considering getting an 8kx for sims only.
At some point in the video you are showing project cars 2 gameplay and complaining about it running at 50fps, but your steamvr resolution is set to 150%. You should consider lowering that to 100%, as the render resolution won't be the 5k that you need to drive for the vp2, but almost 8k (5k ish x 1.5, which is absolutely insane),
The sweetspot is fine for me but even in the sweetspot it is still blurry outside of the centre. Returned it. The software is horrific also, hot and insane glare.
@@voodoodevr-en thanks.. You just saved me $800.. Thought the smaller vp2 headset would stay in the sweet spot easier than the big, wide 8kx (that easily moves out the sweet spot due to inertia with head movements) and maybe the vp2 is better for room scale and the 8kx for seated vr/simming and thought that maybe the vp2 was slightly better clarity but maybe it's the same.. The wireless option for the vp2 was appealing too but not at the current reduced resolution
I wish I have seen this review before. I bought Vive pro 2 a few days ago and returned it the same day I got it. The experience was terrible in basically every aspect. Resolution is the only quality of this headset and it's still blurry on the edges. Even with 7k super sampling in steam vr. To be honest the pixel density is barely better than quest 2 despite big resolution difference. Even now I believe valve index is the best headset on the market. Unless one sleeps on the money and can buy some super expensive headset like varjo valve index holds the crown. The resolution might not be top notch but sub pixel layout helps with that a lot and with super sampling it's really solid.
What do u think is the best VR..for PC....I'm looking to spend 1500 on a VR..to play American truck sim.. windows flying sim...and other games .but like u said the wide screen on vive pro 2 kind of lame ..what should I get instead then
When you left it on the ground, did you turn off the linkbox? That's one of the things Vive says you must do when not using the headset for an extended period.
Do you prefer the Index or Vive Pro 2?, the Valve Index has the best fov on a vr headset that I ever experienced, to me the G2 has the worst fov for a vr headset for playing vr games, its too small, is the vive pro 2 better than the G2 when it comes to fov?, right now the Index is my favorite when it comes to fov, what do you think?
@@voodoodevr-en right now I'm using a Index and a Quest 2 with the deluxe vive audio strap, my favorite is Index for fov and comfort, Quest 2 is good too, but not comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time, Index is the most comfortable to wear
I have both at the moment. If you have a 1080 Ti or lower, get the Artisan. Vive limits the resolution mode for those lower GPUs (unless you have a 20-series or better) such that it won't look too much better than the Artisan. If you have a beast PC with a 3080 / 3090 (or plan to get one soon), then the VP2 is well worth considering.
@@solarisaint1 Yes. It's a lot hotter than the Artisan. The upper surface in front of the forehead. It's tolerable for me, but I mostly do seated sims.
Many of us across Vive forum, Reddit, and Steam, are seeing vertical lines of pixels with head movement. The same as the Index used to have for some. So far Vive have failed to comment sadly :(
I must be the only one in the world that has the flickering blue lines at the bottom edges of the display or lenses in my G2 on certain Steam vr, has anyone else have that issue on their G2?, and is there any way to fix that?, I think it's a Windows Mixed Reality software issue interfering with Steam vr games, even exchanged it for a new replacement G2 with the new cable and still the same problems with the flickering blue lines on the G2 with certain Steam vr games, the fov on the Vive Pro that I heard that it has, is enough for me not to purchase that headset also, think I'll just stick with the Index and Quest 2 with the deluxe Vive audio strap for now

Stop using Project Cars 2 in your bench test. That POS is the most poorly optimized software ever. Go pick up Automobilista2 and you will be blessed with the same or better graphics (same madness engine), but much better optimized to run smoother even on lower spec PCs. Not to mention the much improved physics and force feedback over the antiquated ProjectCars2.
Look behind this guy, have you ever seen so many VR headsets in one place. With his experience of VR headsets, its obvious he knows what he is talking about. He is trying so hard to tell it as he see's it, and at the same time trying to be open minded and not be biased, a difficult undertaking! So if Thomas says its like looking through a letter box, then i have no reason to doubt him. After the cosmos debacle, I was hoping Vive would get their act together and produce a headset better than the current leader(valve index) even if it was a bit more expensive than what is already a very expensive headset. Well, it seems to me that they have made an inferior headset and still made it more expensive than the index. What's the bet HTC Vive goes out of business, or at least gets out of VR, AND blames Covid, I mean it couldn't be because they make crap underdeveloped products could it? My RTX 2080 is also not good enough to run it properly so that would need updating too. So I still wait for a Valve Index MK2.

You're right, the Viveport software is garbage, I tried it on the Index and didn't like it at all, I think there is no point in the Viveport software, it's useless, there is hardly any content on it, navigating on it is a mess also, can't believe you have to pay monthly to have the useless Viveport Infinity subscription, good thing I didn't buy a Vive Pro 2, unfortunately you need to install the Viveport software to run the headset, I'll pass on this headset, it probably sucks like the G2 with the software, I think the key is stick with vr headsets that only run Steam vr and the Oculus software
I have to say the G2 is the worst vr headset that I ever tried, nothing works right and it always keeps disconnecting or won't power on, especially with AMD x570 motherboards, even using the new cable from HP, I still had issues with the G2, I don't even think I would take a G3 for free when it comes out, it would probably still suck, HP failed with the G2, Windows Mixed Reality is a total nightmare to deal with, nothing but compatibility issues with Steam vr games, tracking is never right with anything either, I don't even care if Windows Mixed Reality gets better, I would still never use that software ever again, I am only using Steam vr and Oculus software for vr headsets from now on, I don't think I would want to attempt trying viveport software after what this guy and other people have said about it online, I never had a HTC vr headset, I don't think I want to try it either, I prefer Steam vr only and Oculus vr headsets, HP and Windows Mixed Reality really suck if you ask me, the G2 is the biggest piece of junk I have ever used
I wish the Windows Mixed Reality software would get fixed more, if the the software would be better for AMD hardware, x570 motherboards, the G2 would be alot better to use

I have to say the G2 is the worst vr headset that I ever tried, nothing works right and it always keeps disconnecting or won't power on, especially with AMD x570 motherboards, even using the new cable from HP, I still had issues with the G2, I don't even think I would take a G3 for free when it comes out, it would probably still suck, HP failed with the G2, Windows Mixed Reality is a total nightmare to deal with, nothing but compatibility issues with Steam vr games, tracking is never right with anything either, I don't even care if Windows Mixed Reality gets better, I would still never use that software ever again, I am only using Steam vr and Oculus software for vr headsets from now on, I don't think I would want to attempt trying viveport software after what this guy and other people have said about it online, I never had a HTC vr headset, I don't think I want to try it either, I prefer Steam vr only and Oculus vr headsets, HP and Windows Mixed Reality really suck if you ask me, the G2 is the biggest piece of junk I have ever used
Had my Vive Pro 2 for 24 hours and sent it back for a refund. Very disappointed.
same here awful headset
Htc product that is overpriced ! No way !
I gotta say, it cant be worse then HP reverb G2, that's the worse software ever.
I wish the Windows Mixed Reality software would get fixed more, if the the software would be better for AMD hardware, x570 motherboards, the G2 would be alot better to use
The FOV ratio is stupid decision from guy who don't use VR, with stupid hierarchie that validate it (what a waste of potential)
I have returned my vp2 because I dislike it but the fov is completely fine, better than index. Vertical fov is fine, voodoo just had a weird head.
