Broken on arrival

The screen for the vive headset was frozen the whole time, and one of the base stations were broken as well.

Vive Cosmos v. Oculus Rift S

Gift for my 15 year old son?he really likes it. He has an Oculus Rift and he likes the Vive headset better, but he likes the Oculus hand controls better because for the Vive there are buttons that have to be pushed. Overall very satisfied. The Vive tracking is superb.

Terrible headset

The headphones really suck they don't fit snugly to your ear

Works great- seems it could be better or cheaper.

It?s a fun toy, but for the cost the ergonomics and image quality should be better. It is not tied to facebook and doesn't require an account, there are no ads and the tracking works very well in a 12x12 room. Zero complaints about function, and both my Nvidia 2070 and laptop 1070 can drive the unit with ease. Cost vs available content coupled with display resolution makes this a very overpriced toy.
