  • XR Elite delivers a clear, comfortable viewing experience, and can be an excellent value
I own several consumer and enterprise hmds from Meta, Pico, and HTC, and my current favorite is the HTC Vive XR Elite for the following reasons: (1) The headset is very light and comfortable when using the fabric facial interface, overhead strap, and battery cradle. It fits my average-size face and nose well, is nicely balanced, and the fan keeps everything cool and the optics free of condensation. Thankfully, there's no need to use the enclosed glasses wings (which feel like giant tweezers pinching behind your ears). HTC needs to offer longer replacement wings for the headset to be usable in "glasses mode." (2) The unique diopter adjustment is a godsend for people like me who are nearsighted and would prefer not to wear glasses or contacts when using an hmd. The pancake lenses give a crystal-clear view with a wide sweet spot and no god rays. There's a bit of cloudiness and light bleed in high contrast scenes, but it's not noticeable in most cases. (3) The new MR face gasket (2 for $25) is excellent for mixed reality applications, allowing use of peripheral vision. It provides a sufficient offset so that people with astigmatism can wear corrective lenses (which is not possible with the fabric facial interface). It's also helpful for novice users who become disoriented or experience motion sickness with fully immersive VR interfaces. (4) The XR Elite delivers on other important dimensions, including image resolution, video pass-through, audio quality, and tracking, with performance that's as good or better than other, competitive headsets. The original list price ($1,099) is a hard sell, but with recent price cuts, promotions, and "used-like new" options available, the headset can be an excellent value. Of course, the competitive landscape continues to change, with the launch of the Quest 3 and next year's release of the Pico 5 and Apple Vision Pro. Until there's an HMD with significantly better performance, I'll continue using the XR Elite as my daily driver. (If you buy an XR Elite, note that the equipment fits fine in non-OEM cases for the Vive Focus 3, which uses the same controllers. Also, to eliminate controller battery drain when you're done using the equipment, press and hold the Vive buttons until they fully power off.) ... show more

  • Not usable.
A few things I thought I was going to really enjoy about the XR elite were the tether-less streaming and adjustable diopters, as well as the potential to hack in steamVR tracking by rigging a base station tracker to the HMD somewhere. My suspicions were correct; even though I have never used an inside-out HMD, the tracking was abominable and would cut out often, regardless of lighting condition. This left me with the white/grey screen, and having to completely redo my playspace. Unfortunately, ALVR and similar projects were not ready day one. PCVR streaming also causes a noticeable performance impact, even on a 5800X and RTX4090. Pairing took hours of frustration and shoving my face as close as I could to the screen, because the pairing QR code would never scan! Sure this can be fixed with updates but my neck was sore and it was a 4 hour process before I even got into streaming. USB streaming is also temperamental. Also, hand tracking for this product "does not exist". It's unusable, and the FOV of it is also ridiculous. It feels like 20 degrees of scope and you have to stretch your hand out in front of you as far as it will go. As for comfort, the face gasket, marketed to be this soft, plush fabric, has a hard and painful plastic inner frame, that is extremely UNcomfortable (painful actually) on your forehead depending on the shape of your face. It also continued to push my eyes out of the sweet spot. If I adjusted the headset to line up my eyes with the device correctly, the gasket would detach from the bottom and leave a 10-15MM gap - what?! The head strap was sorely needed to make it bearable for the 30 minutes I could stand to experience it. This needs to go back to the drawing board, and the newest media coverage of this device shows new experimental facial interfaces already. These are crutches that will not do much to fix the full scope of the broken UX of this product. What I would like to see out of this product, as with the flop of the cosmos, is a completely re-engineered facial and head strap interface. A clone of the orignal HTC vive facial interface and DAS was the best design I have experienced so far from HTC and was hands down the most comfortable VR experience. A copy-paste would be totally fine. Additionally, make it base station tracked. And make binocular overlap better than or equal to the original vive. FOV is also terrible but would get a pass as a first gen of a new form factor if everything else was fixed. Will any of this happen? No. Would I trust HTC and buy it if this came true? No. The XR Elite is what it is. What HTC is trying to do is just not going to work in its current state, trying to do too much and experiment too much. If it worked as advertised, and was actually wearable without discomfort, this would make huge waves. Congratulations on trying HTC, other projects will surely piggyback on the development of this device. ... show more

  • Amazing VR headset
Playing with it for 2 weeks. Sharing my experience of using it. First of all, the user experience is fantastic. It has beautiful design, accuracy motion sensor, and is also very comfy even wiring it for hours. I think the company put a lot of effort on designing the headset. It comes with lens and software to adjust it. For people who wear glasses, this feature is superb. The resolution of the tuning gear is very precise. I don't feel any different than wearing a glass. HTC Vive XR Elite also comes with a power bank that can connect to the headset. The easy connection and wearing design makes it really easy to put on. On the back of the power bank you have a nob to adjust head set to make it fit for you. The cushion is very soft and comfy. It won't leave any marks after using it for hours. The headset is also very light, so the overall wearing experience is very great. The headset also has very good motion sensing accuracy. I am a user of other vr products as well. I am amazed by HTC's motion sensing accuracy. It can recognize your gesture easily at first try. So I don't need to bother repeating each gesture which looks very stupid. As standard, this HTC vr also comes with a high resolution camera systems for you to live in the real world. The overall user experience is very good. and it is a great VR product and brings a lot of fun. This product does not come with virtual keyboard typing feature. Hope this can come soon with the power of current high accuracy sensing system. Then I can use it for work too. ... show more
