#HPReverbG2 #WindowsMixedReality #VirtualReality - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
To clarify a couple of points;
I’ve since found out that HP changed the design and the headset cannot be powered by USB C alone regardless of your computers power delivery.
Some have pointed out my green screen area may be the cause of the tracking issues but I had my back to the wall and this isn’t a problem with other headsets.
I stand by my comment about the FOV. It might be bigger on paper but in my side by side testing, Q2 using a VR Cover set brings the lenses closer to my eyes which results in slightly wider FOV. Let’s hope VR Cover make some kits for the G2 in the future []-)
Why even have a USB C plug if we need another plug to power it, what purpose does having both serve?
@@sheepler USB is for data but it's not enough to power the headset alone.
Yes
Am I to assume that a powered USB A will do the trick? Or do you have to use the power brick in any setting?
yah you're right, I forgot that there is more then just audio and video being sent to your computer. USB C must be for all the tracking data.
Can't take my Index round to a friend's house because of the fixed base stations eh? Well joke's on you - I don't have a friend!
We are 2
Ill be your friend, dont forget to bring your index
The base stations don't have to be fixed. You can even move them around when they are on.
🧻 enjoy your time alone 👀
@Puddleglum now you do
So G2 plus Index Knuckles?
Yes
Keep in mind that if you want to use knuckles you’ll need base stations too
You might want to wait for one year or so for the Deca Gear if you want the best of those two worlds.
Don't you need the index headset to communicate controller data to your PC?
@@mrsearaphim4077 You can buy dongles with special software that do that instead of the headset
I swear hp spent so much time on the headset then remembered “Oh there have to be controllers to.” And chucked on the most random crappy controllers and tracking possible
My guess is that it was easier to upgrade the visuals and audio than to write new code for WMRs tracking system. As far as I know other than the 2 side cameras on the headset, the tracking software provided by Microsoft is the same as the original WMR headset line. The controllers are actually a downgrade from the WMR originals, because they have gotten rid of the trackpad without adding anything new.
I’m gonna be honest all 3 of the mics don’t sound bad in the slightest.
It actually blows my mind how good they sound. I expected it to sound like a shitty Xbox 360 microphone from back in the day or something, but these seem to beat the sound quality of many modern gaming headsets. Wtf.
On the quest 2 you can notice the compression, but it's still good. The index's tho... it's basically professional
@@xXMaukiorXx The Quest 2 costs significantly less though, so it's still really impressive.
i was super surprised how nice the quest 2 mic sounded, crazy clear.
yep agree all same
I just realized now why Mike has his head shaved: to avoid VR hair.
Mister Horse or his just bald?
i was going to say the same thing xD
@@demonsatwork4352 r/Wooosh
@NikTheFix I just use a swim-cap. Works well enough.
I have a long fringe and i just move it out of the way
“I’ve been expecting you.”
Hello there
Aaaaaaa
"Welcome to the real world." XD
I thought I'd read and heard every little thing possible about this headset, since the day it was announced, but you somehow managed to fill in a couple of small but important blanks for me. Thanks 👍
"Or you're a sim enthusiast that plans to use a Hotas or wheel set-up, then the G2 is the right VR headset for you ." As someone who pre-ordered this headset to play racing sims and MFS 2020 with a TCA Sidestick and Thrustmaster wheel, I find comfort in these words. Thank you very much good sir.
i thought he said semi enthusiast and i was like "spending money on a headset, wheel and pedals and flight sticks, yeah right, semi" xD
Same, I also got it to play Half Life Alyx, but most of my time will be in a sim
I agree with pretty much everything in this video. The G2 is the headset I'm getting. The controllers aren't amazing but they do work well, put in better AA's and it'll last longer. The awesome screen, optics, comfort, build quality and audio is why I'm getting one. No facebook is a bonus! My hope is that some work will be put in to the software side of things.
Nice decision. I'm sure the majority of the software issues will be solved within a few months.
I can not stress enough about going with a different controller option if you decide on the G2. They don't look much different than the odyssey and acer controllers from WMR and Mike is describing the EXACT same issues as the old controllers had. They were total trash dude. I hoped off VR for so long because of that issue. Oculus nailed the tracking though
@@WhiteRaven___ you can use a software from steam vr to switch your controllers and get full body tracking on any headset by merging the two play spaces together. It’s a little cheaper than the index altogether
@@irafysandiel6631 How would it be cheaper? 2 base stations and index controllers would be an extra $550
100% agree. You won't be disappointed with the tracking, the controllers work just fine
I've been waiting for this 👌🏼
Honestly this is one of my favorite channels it has gotten me into vr and produces great content. keep it up!
Helpful review, as always, congrats on the 360K subs!
Was extremely hyped for this!
@@marklola12 The video*
@@marklola12 what issues especially?
@ the common inside out tracking issue
@@eijmert It's not inside-out tracking in general, just this particular headset unless you find that you have a scratchy arse or like giving yourself a back massage during VR experiences.
And Oculus's algorithms have gotten so good at this point that I have found it can accurately predict where my hands are a few seconds after they are occluded from the headset's cameras. This backs up my point about such tracking issues being exclusive to headsets like this and the Cosmos, unless you are talking specifically about the headset not being able to track the controllers when they re behind your back.
@@22oreos the cosmos has better tracking tbh, i didnt like rift S. It was realy realy bad. Hope the g2 will bring change to that
Very objective review, thanks for covering all the pros and cons clearly.
This Unboxing is far away from being objective, especially not from a Facebook sponsored channel like this!
So I just uploaded my first Virtual Reality video and im wondering if I can get some feedback or tips? Subscribing would also be appreciated but im not trying to beg😁
im glad you linked tyriel wood's video. i use vr headsets for flightsims primarily and it has showed me how good of a replacement the g2 might be for my old rift s
Pretty much exactly matches up with my experience, great review!
Great review and it was kind of what i was expecting too. I was holding off and holding off and eventually went for the Quest 2 because of both native and PC VR options and I am glad i did. However, I do love my PC VR driving games and Squadrons so may consider this as a 2nd headset further down the line, but so far, I am hugely impressed with the Quest 2 and the improved performance and resolution. I use a DAS with it too.
I wish another company made a standalone vr headset to compete with the quest 2.
The quest 2 seems like it will the best standalone headset we have until the decagear
@@null3dgames deca is standalone?!
@@declanhaas1753 no it isnt
@@declanhaas1753 It's not. They've already debunked that rumor. But it does have wireless PCVR function kind of like the htc vive.
There aren't any companies in the VR space that have the same power as Oculus (Facebook) does. The only two that would be able to compete in the future are apple and Sony. Maybe Microsoft as well. But, Oculus already has such a large market share and following that even if the other companies come out with amazing tech they won't be able to compete. It'll be a while...
You’re videos make me happy :)
Interesting review many thanks! I've had absolutely no issues at all with the tracking, it's excellent.
hey buddy didn't you say you had issues when you raised your arms up and brought your hands towards close to the headset at the front also, I picked that up in the video I posted with you a couple days ago....or maybe a lighting thing...
@@vressentials hey you're absolutely right, at the most extreme ranges above my head or right behind my back there are issues. The tracking isn't as good as the Rift S, but it's still excellent.
yeah, for flight simmers or people who don't use the VR controllers such as me (I play GTA V VR mod mostly) the G2 is just great.
@@csswork1475 Half life works great
WOW! 2 days battery life with 2 AA batteries!!!! My first Quest 2 batteries lasted 2 weeks and I play A LOT!
im still on my first pair and i think i played for 30-40 hours
You also need more expensive 1.5V rechargeable batteries for the G2 controllers.
Way less than any other headset with much worse tracking.
omg can't wait for this thing to be available for purchase (Not preorder)
I'm so frustrated they've started shipping and there isn't even an official release date yet :(
Oh my god thank you!!! This is just the video I needed!
Awesome, I’ve been watching you for a long time. I’ve been getting really into VR since then.
Note: you can pair the index controllers with the G2. MRtv made a vid of how to do it
Costs a lot to do it though
If you're going to buy the G2, but already have an Index, find something else to waste $ on. If you're going to buy G2 with Knuckles controllers + base stations, its gonna cost pretty much the exact same as an Index anyway, so go with the Index. This headset is a bad purchase in my book. The only positive I see is the strap being decent, that's really about it.
I like the modular approach from valve. I own an index but my base stations and knuckles can be used on a more advanced hmd later.
All 3 of the headset mics sound pretty good.
I agree. I'm actually surprised the bonus features some of these headsets have.
This channel is awsome always the newest VR news
i love this channel, mike speak english very clear for my beginner level of english
considering its from HP, this is a lot better than I was expecting.
Ye because they worked with Valve and Microsoft. If it would be only Hp this would be alot worse. So, glad they Collab with both.
yea
@@Der_Joghurt_Ohne_Ecke Wish they would have worked more on the tracking and controllers.
@@sundaynightdrunk Its more on Microsofts side to make Tracking Overall better. Hp Could just Add more Cameras to make it better. Tracking is not that bad if you have good Room Lightning (Not Sun) and no things like Green Screen.
@@Der_Joghurt_Ohne_Ecke Agreed, it just seems a lack of foresight to not improve tracking to infrared and adopt some of what Oculus is doing.
Another great video, cheers Mike!
Great review! Thanks Mike
I can't wait for stand a lone headset the the quest to catch up with this sort of pixel density and pc performance. I love both my rift s and quest 2.
Im waiting for your closed caption, I watch whole without it but I prefer CC on it so i will understand whats your opinion. i will decision Quest 2 or This. ur are the awesome
Always nice to see your videos, so clearly explained, one thing though, how come you didn't talk more about that you need to use the headset to draw the boundary? This seems to be something that is crucially missing here....or are you able to redraw it with the controller after? We're still waiting for ours...
Awesome video mate, very informative and well laid out.
Another reviewer had issues with green screen too... Update: since I posted this comment I have seen other reviews which strongly suggest, green screen may not be the problem and that tracking is in fact the weakest part of this HMD. I will be using the G2 mainly for seated sim usage so tracking is not the #1 concern for me.
I am very new to the SW side of VR. Your comment about sitting with Flite Sim caught my eye. Could I therefore also use VR “games” like Force Field’s “Anne Frank’s House” or even just watch movies thru this headset? The tracking would obviously not be major issues in this context, but I just need to know if it’s possible to use this kind of VR SW with the Reverb G2 (or Valve Index, for that matter). Thnx.
Excited HP Reverb G2 and Pre-ordered it some months ago! Can't wait to have the best of the best VR can offer right now in my hands
best of the best unless you wanna play any game with a gun or a bow and arrow or with melee or with fov
@@Andrew-uq6vh I have seen literal gameplay of multiple different people playing perfectly with guns, bows and melee....... what are you talking about? Like 90% of VR games have either guns, bows or melee lol. You actually think this headset cant play pretty much every VR game?
Not the best of the best. But the best that most people can get right now. (Including me)
@@Anipixelz Yes i do! and i have seen people playing guns, bows and melee with it! Hell even Tyriel said so.
@@Andrew-uq6vh Wronggggg
Love all your videos keep it up I believe in you
A couple reviews I read stated the headphones weren’t adjustable, clearly they are adjustable. Thanks for another great review!
The microphone on The Quest 2 and The Valve Index are better than I thought when compared to the HP Reverb G2.
It's weird that they don't have a headphone jack to just plug in an external mic or something..
Getting it next month i hope
Thank you for the good review, I've been trying to decide. I can't flail my arms around too much so I likely won't be using VR controllers often. I think I might get the g2.
Nice video I was considering the quest but after seeing this I thinks it's worth the extra 300 ,,, plus the audio sounds the same to me. Keep up the nice work X
I pre-ordered day one, which is unusual for me but I had great confidence that HP where going to deliver. Got it for £525 inc delivery, so it was well worth pre-ordering early!. I'll mostly be playing DCS World with it and leaving other games for my Oculus. You really should try DCS Mike...
£525 just to play a free game. I hope it will be worth it.
@@dtz1000 I play DCS 3 hours a day and have spent hundreds of pounds on modules. Do you feel stupid now? Talk about what you know, not what you assume. Pure ignorance...
Honestly if you ask me
It's worth it to play VR
@@dtz1000 I paid $400 for my 256gb Quest 2, $100 for a DAS + $20 for adapters, $60 for a VR Power bank, $45 for a 16ft USB C to USB C for Oculus Link, $45 for carry case that fits the FrankenQuest2, $20 replacement PU Leather pad for DAS/$20 replacement PU Leather facial interface/$20 controller grips, AND spent $100 on 3 games just so I could play VR portably, what of it? Odds are high that I'll barely even play it portable and will more often than not use it for PCVR.
@@TheGauges420 Is this the thread for people to tell everyone how they wasted their money? You're even worse than the other guy with his overpriced modules.
Sounds like you would have been better off buying the G2 if you're hardly going to use it for standalone. Very odd choice you've made there.
Pre ordered the reverb G2 in juni, here in the Netherlands and received Mail yesterday, 20 Nov I can expect this VR, games fore me on this 1 are Microsoft flightsimulator 2020, Halflive, Il2, Medal of honour2
Nice :) i have been waiting for this :)
Great review dude. Had high hopes! Still do ofc but yeah, that tracking
Easily the best VR content on TH-cam.
Sorry man, that goes to mrtv, personally. :) Not paid by any corporations involved with vr, and it shows. Go give him some views!
VRO is great, but it's corporate sponsored channel. Love mike's polished looking content. It's just different. Cheers mate!
@@pastrie42 hey thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. Always good to have more content!
After a few years with my oddessy+ I would recommend any 1.5 LITHIUM rechargeable battery over NiHi batteries. These controllers drain standard batteries fast lithiums last much longer!
Great review Mike!
I have a question about vr lens covers. I used to have a rift that ended up getting scratched up a bit from my glasses so I stopped wearing them with it. Now I have a g2 ordered and I am wondering what kind of covers you would recommend for it? I wonder if some of those clear anti scratch watch covers would work well on it? Or would it be better to spend a bit more for some magnetic covers from VRwave?
Thanks for your honest reviews of the headset. Being more of a sim enthusiast first, this gives me exactly what I want from VR hardware. Ordered mine on June 17 in the US, so I'm just waiting to hear when it will ship from Connection. Hopefully soon...
may 30th preorder and its still backordered on connection.
@@dmacell4110 Glad we're in this together. Hope you get yours soon!
Mike's review isn't completely honest. It's not a true apples to apples comparison since his Quest 2 comparison with the G2 has been modified with a VR Cover face plate on the Quest 2. He says he is behind the big green screen which shouldn't affect tracking but this is incorrect. If Mike turns his body around the cameras on the G2 eventually sees the green screen and has no reference point to track on to which results in bad tracking. Also, the recent Nvidia drivers are suffering from a performance stuttering bug for SteamVR.
yea same. ordered mine first week and it still says back ordered. I can't fucking wait dude
@@robot3rk995 Eh, I agree on the face plate thing, but people who are used to using lighthouse tracking don't turn much in VR (unless they have four lighthouses, but most people use two). You learn to use the controller to turn because you always have to be facing the lighthouses. It's how snap-turning got started, because if you don't turn your physical body when turning in VR, it can cause motion sickness.
yes, i have been waiting so long
I just love watching your video . I have been watching your video for a long time . but sadly i don't have a vr head set and I have never used too.
the quest 2 mic is freaking awesome. it's pretty awesome all around. Love your channel! Long time viewer, rare commenter. You are my "go to" VR info hub! Great work as always!
So I just uploaded my first Virtual Reality video and im wondering if I can get some feedback or tips? Subscribing would also be appreciated but im not trying to beg😁
Pre ordered my G2 a while go, Q2 strains my eyes, and i cant set up base stations for a Index, this is the perfect upgrade over my Q1. ipd sider, check, inside out tracked, check, better displays, check. Tracking might be worse but, its not unuseably bad
Come back when you buy it and realize just how bad those controllers really are lol
@@WhiteRaven___ er, i already have, and to be honest, they dont seem like a deal breaker. Missing touch presense really doesnt bother me, if thats what you’re trying to get at.
I’m hoping to get a quest 2 for Christmas this year. SO exited!
Me too, Im so glad they made it more affordable than other headsets
Same here
@@sawyerzard5417 Comes with many tradeoffs tho... Sadly.
Its an upgrade from older gen headsets too, But remember to get a decent cable or tracking will lag in faster games
Nice to see bots commenting in reviews of other headsets
I’m still waiting for delivery of my headset. Two questions though, I thought you had to power the the usb c port with the power adapter, as issues had been experienced with powering from a pc port. Secondly have you tried the index controllers with G2?
Awesome Mike, been waiting for this 😁hoping mine will be here in a few weeks, I'm sure the tracking and other issues will get better, I remember when cv1 and rift s came out, there's ahways issues with new headsets, hoping my 1080ti will be enough for now, will have to wait on a new gfx card for now
Can we expect some fix and improvement of the controllers through firmware updates in the first months? Or do you think the flaws are purely hardware based and will not be addressed?
Depends on Microsoft. If they want they can make it alot better. Since Microsofts own Game Microsoft Flight Simulator for a Limited Time is Exclusive for WMR only maybe we can hope for some Updates.
Microsoft said they'd fix this tracking years ago with their older HMDs and they literally abandoned WMR lol the controllers were almost identical in looks to these and all the issues Mike is having now were the exact same issues we had back then. So I have no faith in Microsoft to fix this issue
@@Der_Joghurt_Ohne_Ecke Hold on, the tracking problem is a software issue?!
@@Der_Joghurt_Ohne_Ecke Hold on, the tracking problem is a software issue?!
@@WhiteRaven___ I watched other Reviewers and they said although its not as good as the quest tracking its perfectly fine.
Also the old WMR headsets had only 2 cameras.
excellent review. I think I'll be happy with my Quest 2 for a long time to come. As long as I get decent VR PC built I think I'll have a good price to performance ratio
you can use shadow cloud to play high quality vr games on your quest 2.
@@lonewolfsky4816 as much as I would like to do that, I'd really like to natively run it on a powerful enough PC
Great review
Thank you for this detailed review. In my 50's new to VR and wanted to find the best headset for Racing and flying sims. Currently using a three screen setup wheel, peddles, Flight sticks etc. for Microsoft Flight 2020, X-Plane, Assetto Corsa, iRacing etc. Controller not the issue for what I am looking to use it for. I will leave that to my kids and grand kids to wave there arms around. I am more interested in the clear quality of the headset and not for the controller tracking. You review sold me and will be ordering this setup. Thank you again for your review.
Index's mic is the best overall, sounds almost as quality as the recording microphone that Mike is using. The G2's sounds the worst because it sounds very restricted with not a lot of clearance.
Best feature: No facebook edit: the reason i posted this is because i just personally really hate facebook. Im sure with the existing services i use they probably already know me better than my friends.

Thanks for the review. How does the G2 behave using the laptop with the RTX 2070 GPU? Thanks.
Thanks for the review Mike, the link for the UK PKCell batteries goes to AAA variety not AA. Also as I am looking for NiZn Batteries would you happen to recommend a UK plug fitted NiZn Charger as I don’t fancy the idea of the Ansmann one hanging out of a converter in order to use it in the UK.
i'd love a conmbination between the reverb g2 for visuals and index controllers for tracking.. sadly that would set me back about 1200€ :(
was it that expensive when it first released

You forget about the light houses needed for the index grips
@@MyKillerson oh right people who are new to strictly steamvr headsets need lighthouses my bad
Its hard to pick whether to have the G2 or valve index. I wonder how much of a hassle it would be to have index controllers and g2.
Have you tested if its a problem for the headset tracking if you look at the greenscreen? Ist mixed reality capturing possible?
really excellent roundup i feel a lot better about forking out for the index as tracking is something that has bothered me in other headsets
I love hearing "Welcomee to the oasis" everytime i watch your videos! And keep up the good work!
"Well Kim. To the Oasis."
Would have been nice to ear about sweet spot, lens clariry from corner to corner, distortion and compare to other products. Image ghosting, etc
Lense clarity is great. There are some slight god rays. No ghosting and the clarity is immense. Text on dashboards looks like I'm reading it off a 1440p screen, very crisp. Excellent headset for simulation, less great for anything that involves the controllers

You made a great job here ! Now my question is : can we use external controlers (touch, valve controlers...) on the G2 ?
I'm going to be 6ft under by the time vr reaches its true potential 😭
No technology really reaches true potential, but if you mean full dive, you still might get that
So... don't wait for that full perfection to be achieved but enjoy the ride towards that point, taking in the aazing improvement over the last gen, rather then worrying that it is still not perfect. take a last at the latest consoles with supposedly incredible graphics.... which are still a long way from perfect and at times pretty bad...

@@ZXspectrum.. I'm amazed by that. Get a Valve Index or Reverb G2 then - screen door gone and great FOV (Index). As for motion issues, make sure you have a (very) high end PC.
6:15min.
The horizontal FOV of the Reverb G2 is certainly higher compared to the Quest 2 and Rift S. Maybe you should measure things first and not cite scripts from Facebook.
Also: Index has 130° my butt. Maybe 130° vertical, but more like 118° horizontal. I only care about horizontal. Our vision is wider than it is tall!

That Pipboy bobble. Love it. I am at odds. I have a quest and want another. Still your video was very informative and helpful. Thanks Mike
This is awesome. But after just getting the Oculus Quest 2, where I can play anywhere without wires, and also have the option to play PC VR and Steam VR games wired in...all for $299, it’s hard to justify unless you play a TON. Maybe.
I dont wanna buy it cuz FB has a finger in my ass the whole time i use it. Its a super good deal tho.
Actually quest 2 isn't 299$ u have to buy elite strap if u want to play for more than half an hour because of comfort. So it will cost u 450$ approx actually.
@@Typicaldada yeah.... that’s false. I play till the battery’s dead, recharge, and play till it’s dead again without any discomfort with the default strap. I’m sure the elite strap is lovely but it’s not needed in the slightest. It also is not $150 more for the strap lol
Using Link or Virtual Desktop murders the image clarity though due to the video encoding. If you're going to use PCVR a lot, I'd still recommend a proper PCVR headset instead. Also the headphones on the Quest 1/2 are terrible which means you need to use a headset too.
@@gregoryviper You never know, you might like how it feels
Any other long-time CV1 users seeing this as the real gen 2 upgrade that we've waited years for? :) (not in all ways of course, but most)
Cv1 here. Ordered 9-14-20
That was the Index for me. I would love if the Index had the G2 display, but for now I still think the Index is the best all around set. At $600 though the G2 is still a great choice, I'm not sure if the Index is worth the extra $400 but I do like the extra FOV and G2 tracking is still a bit disappointing.
Even the Rift s was a huge upgrade for me in terms of visuals, G2 vs CV1 is hands down a night and day difference in this regard.
I was untill they said the tracking doesn't hold a candle to oculus insight.
The cv1 will have way better tracking unfortunately.
@@xXSinForLifeXx yeah this is true. Its always been my main concern with the g2. If I get it I'll likely switch between cv1 and g2, depending on tracking needs.

Same. Kinda pissed I pre-ordered at the first half of July and now HP is saying December delivery. Meanwhile all these content creators get them delivered ahead of anyone else. 😡
I received email today saying UK gets the hmds next week
If you guys haven't gotten it yet I can calm down about mine. I ordered in late August. 😂
I'm selling my fb rift s and have preordered the G2. I'm 98% sim racing and love the rift s, having depth perception to spot the apex and distance to other cars is a huge advantage for sim racing but the limitation is the resolution. Looking at anything in mid to long distance is a pixelated mess and reminds me of playing need for speed on windows 95 :{ I can't wait for the improvement the G2 will bring and I don't care about the controllers
Same
BRO I JUST DID THIS EXACT SAME THING !😂
@@jaz6051 just got my G2. Image is fantastic. Sound is fantastic. Have a few bugs with AMS2 crashing and flakey menus. VR settings like motion blur needs adjustments. Fitment over glasses is annoying but manageable. Controllers are no where near as good as Rift S, the lights on them are annoying to others in the room. But luckily I barely use them. Overall happy
Cheers for the info legend!
Mic sounded ok, i think slightly worse than the other two. Thanks for the fair review!
If you want to play a graphics intensive game on this on a pc that is a little bit weaker, can you send a lower resolution image to the headset then what is the native headset resolution?
This is what I was afraid of, great HMD but lackluster controller.
To me the controllers are a very important part of an immersive experience, so I don't think this is the VR saviour that reddit has been hyping it up to be.
Tracking is really good if you have the right lightning and good Background. I´ve seen a guy Yesterday he had Problems with Tracking he had a Green Screen in the background so he removed it and Tracking got alot better. But Tracking is overall behind Quest Tracking a little.
I had WMR odyssey and Acer and People told me that my issue was lighting or better batteries or upgrade your Bluetooth.. let me tell you that if these controllers are anything like the old ones, You will be severely disappointed. I recommend going with different controllers if you get this HMD
@@WhiteRaven___ Na its way better other Reviewers said Compared to old WMR. But its not on a Level with Oculus.
I am going to buy the g2, but i will use my vive controllers with lighthouse, best combination possible, this is a solution.
Now if you need to get new controllers on top, which are gonna run about $150 minimum (just basing off Facebooks replacements, at $70 per left and per right), and then add base stations for another what, $100-$200? Well, $600 for the HP Reverb G2, $150 for set of controllers, base stations for $200, you're only $50 down from Index at that point, and since you're buying them all new, after taxes you'll have spent the same amount as the Index costs, why not buy the Valve Index and get the best controllers and the best base stations and all?

My question is. Can you play wirelessly and watch TH-cam VR videos? Is it full VR or a mixed headset or both? If so I might get this for my HP Pavilion gaming PC that's got a i7 10700F and GTX 1660 Super. Does it support body tracking? BigScreen beta would be decent I bet. Question is. Is it better than the Elite Cosmos? And can you wear glasses? And use your own headphones? I just won a Zenith VR key so I'm hoping I can get the headset.
Good Job you are the best Mike
WMR tracking doesn't like green screens like Mike's.
Thrill reviewed it as well and had tracking issues with the controllers; its does not look like he uses green screens, just a regular roomsetup
my quest 2’s mic is better than my $70 gaming headset with a mic
Then that’s a horrible mic
But yeah quest 2 is good with a mic
It’s because facebook are skilled at listening to you
@@Yogman444 yeah hope they listen that I want a black edition quest 2. Please facebook or any other vr company please make this happen so my setup is completely theme.
Lol
Can't see it mentioned elsewhere but at at 2:02 you indicate the power supply is optional when it isn't. The headset is required to be powered as well as the USB and display port connectors. This was a revision from HP when they worked out they could enable lower persistence without affecting brightness but required the power to do so.
Specs seem awesome but I'm still glad I got the quest 2. I haven't got the money yet to build a new pc, so it's nice being able to use it standalone. I've been using it for weeks and the controllers are still on the original included batteries
