  • Major upgrade from 5 years ago; with some small compromises

    I bought this as an upgrade from my Gen 1 Samsung Odyssey. My review is biased from that perspective. Pros: - Updated flexible interface with USB C or A, and Displayport/MiniDisplayport - Updated inside-out hand tracking does a decent job with what used to be 'blind spots' ie. with one's hands' at one's sides. Tracking can still be wonky if you move your hands near your face, but motions like throwing are much improved over past generation inside-out tracking headsets. No need for sensors in your house and you can take your VR on the go if you want. :) - CRYSTAL CLEAR picture with zero screen-door effect. If your computer can handle it, upscaling can make the image even more incredible. - Straight-to-steamVR launching is a nice feature (over-advertised, but still convenient!) Cons: - Steam VR will by default make the resolution much higher than it should be for most apps. You ought to start with the Custom Resolution set to ~2160px given this headset's panels are square in aspect ratio. - Required many tweaks found on blog posts to get running optimally on titles like Half-Life Alyx, Beat Saber, and Bonelab. Not as plug-and-play as my old Odyssey - The controllers are missing touchpads and any sort of next-gen feature to make up for them... I'm personally using my Odyssey controllers to ensure I can play most titles on SteamVR hassle-free. They paired right out of the box to the Reverb :) - Dark colors do not truly render as 'black'...they're more of a light grey. It's not a deal breaker. - FOV is more constrained than some competing headsets and even the past generation (Samsung Odyssey). This can be somewhat alleviated by 'upgrading' the faceplate with an aftermarket one. I made this upgrade and personally have found it worth the price for my skull shape/size. - As with all headsets I've used, these still require a pretty sensitive sweet-spot in order to see the clearest picture - No volume buttons on the headset

  • Good product that is easy to use and setup.

    This vr headset is great quality and high res with great response. It was a good value. The controllers are larger than my previous setup but the seem to work better. I did need to get the headgear adjusted right or the picture was bliry.

  • Quality and down side of HP RV G2

    The Headset resolution is great. And also very comfortable, good built quality. But the controllers are horrible, especially the tracking. I use it mostly for flight ✈️ simulator and use other VR headsets for other games. THE Battery life has to be improved upon. Despite the fact that it uses 2 AA batteries, still doesn't last long. Perhaps I'll suggest the light around the controllers be removed. And the size of the controllers be reduced.

  • Stunning deal

    It's effectively brand new for 1/3rd of retail price. The box was dinged a bit, but it was untouched inside, and and still had protective film over the lenses!

  • Good buy

    Product came as described, plastic and everything with no visible wear, like new. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know it was used. The headset itself has good clarify -which was most important to me - and runs very well on an rtx 4080. Haven't played many games that use the motion controllers as I'm mostly using it for racing simulator but tracking seems to work well enough. My only minor complaint is that the fit makes the ridge of my nose a bit sore after extended use but it's not bad

  • A worth Entry Piece to PC VR.

    Coming from the Original Oculus Quest, this is a good headset. While I am losing a lot of nice Oculus Services, it's worth the amazing quality this headset brings. The FOV is about the same but the screen... I never thought I'd be so happy to see the ground in HD. The Tracking isn't as good as on the Quest but it's still good. Aside from the occasional tracking loss fuss, it works fine and I can get immersed pretty easily. The controllers aren't perfect and... I feel like they'll eventually break, unlike the Quest's Touch Controllers. They're still alright though. They fit in the hand fine and do what a controller does. Aside from the buttons feeling different, I was comfortable with the switch. I have a IPD around 70 but it's max of 68 serves me nearly fine. Aside from having to find just the perfect spot, it's good. Sound quality is amazing... like everyone says... Comfort is... better than the Quest, definitely. I do have a hard time keeping the headset in a spot that's comfortable though. And the Microphone. It comes... extremely loud. But once lowered, people seem to find it ok. Overall, I love it. Hopefully they're able to buff out some issues if they ever make a G3.

  • Best headset isnt perfect

    Only thing I would not recommend it for is as a gift or for a child. because it does not work the way you like out of the box Its an extremely good headset. high detail I dont know how to set up a powersaver mode for the controllers yet as they seem to be highly battery dependent. Havent had a problem yet though

  • Best Visuals

    Combined with theValve Index controllers It is the best experience VR has to offer. Becareful with display port cable. Broke mine not too soon after. The display port cable male end bent in a L shape in the display port female insert in my graphics card and now waiting on HP to send me a replacement. I recommend a extention cable for just to be safe.

  • One of the most recommended headsets for VR, especially for flight sims.

    You can watch a hundred or more YouTube videos about this very headset. The only better ones cost over twice as much. The trouble with connections on the early production Reverb G2 are no longer an issue, thanks to the new connection wires on these later models (Since about January 2022). The video card on your PC computer needs to have a display port version 1.3 or higher (almost all computers since the last 4 years have that. This headset is for Windows game. Examples Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, DCS flight simulator, X-plane 11 or 12. But also for almost any VR game on Steam (over 90% of them).
