Edition: Headset Only
I have had the cosmos for a few days and it seems like a higher resolution vive. I only use vr headsets for vr and I have only used the Vive so my overall experience with VR is limited. Tracking seems fine. The only problems with tracking I had is that one of my tracking stations was acting up, but I had that problem before the headset and its since been fixed. The resolution is a nice upgrade from the vive. There is a performance hit since it has to make up for two higher resolution screens but I can get decent frames on a 8700k cpu with a 2080 super. Overall, I like it, but I only use it in a limited way. ... show more

  • A Massive Step Backward For HTC.
Edition: Headset Only
I've used the original Vive since launch & absolutely loved every minute of it... but I can wholeheartedly say that this headset has too many defects for me to recommend it to anyone. 1. Sweet spot is too small (worse than OG Vive) 2. The headset jitters due to the loose halo design 3. Viveport software causes system instability 4. Switching apps in Steam can cause stuttering 5. The headphones have difficulty clicking down 6. The wireless dongle occasionally malfunctions 7. Halo causes headache due to forehead pressure 8. The contrast is very dull compared to OLED 9. Black is mostly grey in comparison to OLED 10. The screen cannot be adjusted closer to the eye I really wanted to like this headset, especially considering the higher pixel density & resolution... It's really too bad that HTC can't seem to get out of their own way. Hopefully they eventually fix everything & finally release a true successor to the original Vive (consumer affordable). ... show more

  • Not a bad headset, although I think mine's faulty.
Edition: Headset Only
Overall not a bad headset to own. The fit is a bit strange, as it puts most of the weight/pressure on the front and back of your head. For those not accustomed to this, be ready for a few headaches while your head adjusts to the new lenses and the way it fits. I found that the thin gaskets were too thin for my preference and will be switching to the thicker gaskets, which seemed to help the headset feel more comfortable. As for the headset itself the Mic leaves a little bit to desire, making a "pop" noise when you pronounce anything with a "p" in it. Found out it's partially because there is no buffer or windbreaker made in the unit, so it's all raw mic data and makes it easy to pick up on that. Although you can fix that with a simple wind breaker kit if you don't mind the aesthetics or with a digital buffer that can filter it out of you have enough technical know-how. As for the speakers.... The left one cuts out on a regular basis, I found that the 3.5mm headphone jack on the right speaker is a forwarding port for the left speaker, so all you have to do is reseat the cable and it starts working again. The lenses leave something to be desired though. The sweet spot on them is VERY small and can often cause problems with playing games such as beatsaber, then there's also the ring issues that they're prone to while playing. Unfortunately to fix this, you'll have to mod the headset, which voids the warranty from what I've heard. So if you want to have that waranty coverage, then you'll need to wait to do that. However, the reason why I suspect mine is faulty, is because I keep getting USB Error 009 at least 2 or 3 times per day. I've reinstalled drivers multiple times, provided system specs for my PC to HTC, contacted them multiple times and even dealt with an overheating issue with the headset. Unfortunately, despite how nice the technicians they employ are, the problems were never permanently resolved. The troubleshooting always seems to boil down to them blaming corrupt drivers, which is the first thing they usually tackle. Then I suspected that maybe there's too many USB devices on the PC and attempted reducing this. This didn't resolve the problem either as I still get USB Error 009. Did a fresh reinstall of windows, no dice. Even now I'm in the process of upgrading my to a new CPU, mobo, and ram kit to rule out any potential hardware issue on my side. On top of that the headset is prone to locking up when it overheats. Not too much of a problem when it's winter, but once summer rolls around, I'll be lucky to use it for an hour and a half before it locks up and has to cool down. It sounds like the cooling fan inside of the unit that should be pushing air out isn't activating when it's supposed to, resulting in the overheat. HTC support clearly informed me that this headset isn't designed for more than 2 hours of use at a time, which I have a hard time buying considering that other Cosmos Elite owners I know can play games for several hours with no issues. Overall, I'm docking a two stars overall for the following reasons: Plastic lenses that make games hard to see when you're moving around quickly, hardware related problems with the unit, and feeling a lack of support from the HTC. ... show more

  • Great Product
Edition: Headset Only
Works very well with HTC vive, took a while to set up but now it works like a charm. Built in headphones and microphone makes things much more convenient. Only problem we are having is setting up our trackers along with it.

  • A little to pricey for a headset without inside-out tracking and hand tracking.
Edition: Headset Only
Disclaimer: Purchased product through Amazon Warehouse at a lower price than the new stock listed. The headset has zero functionality out of the box by itself and requires hundreds of dollars worth of peripherals (even if you find them used). Pros: >Works well with Steam >Not terribly uncomfortable if worn while seated >Fits well over eyeglasses Cons: >A bit of a pain to adjust, especially noticeable when viewing SBS content >Built-in earphones aren't the best at blocking out noise >Vive Wands (not included) are sometimes awkward to handle >Peripherals are way too pricey even when second-hand, and there is a lack of third-party options (so much for the free market) ... show more
