I purchased it last month, and in that time, two significant updates improved the experience. When I first configured the headset, the hand tracker was good, but sometimes, it did not capture my menu gestures every time; it tracked well and meant I did not use the controllers, which simplified the setup. I just pointed to my boundaries, and they drew the room boundaries well. The tracking has significantly improved over the updates, and now I do not have any missed gestures.
The free content allowed me to try mixed reality and full VR, but I mainly used the VR PC content I usually used with my PC VR headsets. I love the headset tracking and the simple hardware customisation (i.e. AIO or removing the battery to have a lighter-weight VR headset. Overall, it is an excellent headset with flexibility.
Honestly the most realistic and immersive VR headset the I’ve tried. The minute I put it on it removed me from the reality of the world. Visuals are high-res, super comfortable to wear. And easy to use. I thought there would only be a few pieces of content to try but there was so much in there. Loads of fun for me and my family. The kids loved it. The best part about it is that I can take it with me to my friends house so easily and I don’t have to lag a PC around! Best gift ever!
Great VR headset. Really easy to set up and its great not being tethered.
I was really surprised how well the wireless streaming worked. Its awesome to play PC VR games wirelessly!
Storage is also a lot simpler than older bulkier headsets.
This is simply the best VR experience I have had.
The technology is incredible, with no external tracking devices needed – as well as gesture control. Its very comfy to wear, and the battery at the back means the weight is balanced with the screen at the front. It also of course means no cables – making everything much more immersive. If you’d rather sacrifice cable-free for unlimited life then you can also plug it into the PC and swap the battery for the “arms” so it’s more like a pair of glasses. I think you will need a special cable for that, though. There is no latency, and the pass through is crisp – and a great feature to have.
The controllers are surprisingly light, and I expected a bit more weight to them.
Set up was intuitive and easy – with helpful instructions along the way – and its adaptable to whatever space you have available.
Also really nice to see essentially no plastic in the packaging at all. Make sure you check the packaging thoroughly as three USB C cables are included to charge everything – I assumed they wouldn’t be included, so rummaged around the house before realising they were included…
I purchased the Vive XR Elite almost two weeks ago now and have held off reviewing it to get a real feel for the product – and so far I am very, very impressed.
I’ve had the chance to try out various headsets in the past, but nothing truly comes close to the experience that the Vive XR Elite delivers.
It comes well packaged (see pictures) and for the most part setup was fairly simple and I had no issues getting everything going. For the less technical, you should be absolutely fine following the instructions.
The main use for me is PCVR streaming – and this has easily been the best device I’ve used for that, it supports wireless streaming much like the Quest with airlink and I’ve had a really smooth experience. Of course with the price tag it demands you would expect nothing less, but I’m happy that is definitely delivered on this part.
Comfort during extended use has always been a pain for me in VR, so far the Vive XR Elite has been the comfiest experience, but naturally does get a bit uncomfortable for really long sessions. It’s hands down the lightest headset I’ve ever worn, which really helps for the inevitable long VR puzzle games I inevitably get stuck in!!
Apps wise I’m really happy, good solid range, I play a bunch of fitness apps which have all ran incredibly smoothly. stand alone apps are fantastic with all the staples you’d expect. Gifted apps are a really nice addition to see, similar to what steam does, I didn’t really think I’d need that until I used it.
if you’re a true VR aficionado and want the best of the best, the Vive XR Elite is your answer in my opinion, even at the slightly higher price tag.
Came from owning a Quest and a Rift, I’ve always had comfort issues with VR and could never wear them for more than an hour. The first time I put this headset on I found myself being able to use it for almost 2 hours (then the battery needed charging). The comfort and weight is just night and day.
Visual quality is brilliant, and the diopters are perfect for me, i’ve always found it annoying to cram my glasses into my headsets to get a clear view. This is also the first time I’ve been able to get a clear view that isn’t pixelated.
The 5 gifted games had a nice single download which was a really nice touch to get going. There are already 100 games on the store but I wish there were even more content but it’s nice to it’s been growing.
Passthrough is soo good. I turned it on and was even able to see the hands on my watch to tell the time. Could never do this before.
PC VR runs really well. Was worried about my wifi impacting quality but it runs really well! The quality has made me jump back into a lot of my PC VR games to enjoy them again but in a much higher resolution.
I was hesitant to spend more on an upgrade, but I’m glad I did. This is my favourite headset by far. I might still use my Quest to play some games I miss until they’ve come over to the Elite. Being so comfortable & light, plus not needing to wear my glasses has made me want to use VR even more.
appena avviato ha dato diversi problemi tra cui disconnessioni di rete, non installava app ne giochi, riportava errori tipo “impossibile creare cartella” o “errore installazione” … poi ho fatto reset un paio di volte e aggiornato sia firmware che sistema operativo e un paio di problemi sembrano risolti … tuttavia su alcuni titoli resta il “errore installazione” … cercando in internet ho trovato che altre persone hanno lo stesso problema quindi “o alcuni visori nascono male” “o il problema sta nelle app e non nel visore” … detto questo ho notato che la prima parte delle app viene scaricata, ma il problema quando deve scaricare i file OBB … quindi penso sia pi un problema software che hardware … ad ogni modo visto che ho un mese per essere idoneo al reso … per ora continuo a provarlo … e se non ha ulteriori problemi, mi diaspiace per i giochi inclusi che NON posso scaricare, ma se il problema solo quello non penso che sostituendolo lo risolvo … se invece i problemi fossero altri … CONCLUDO dicendo: se vi arriva come a me, prima di disperare fare un reset totale e aggiornate sistema operativo e firmware e il 90% va a posto … resta il problema dei giochi inclusi che non si installano 🙁
Excelentes gafas, muy ligeras y cmodas. Es cierto que el frontal se desmonta si te las pones “mal”, pero con un poco de practica ya no pasa. Entra algo de luz por el tema de la anchura de la cara, pero nada importante. Se acoplan perfectamente al Steam y al Vive port conectadas al PC. Las bateras duran al menos 2 horas seguidas (seguramente ms, no lo he probado). Los juegos y aplicaciones que se instalan de manera autnoma funcionan bien en general, con el problema de que si se selecciona el espaol como idioma nativo en las gafas algunos, como por ejemplo el Vive Browser, dejan de funcionar. Se soluciona fcil seleccionando el Ingls.
En definitiva, estoy contento con la compra
