Score: 75/100Rankings
The HTC VIVE Pro Full System is a professional-grade, PC-tethered headset offering high-resolution AMOLED displays and integrated spatial audio. Its heavy weight and need for a powerful PC make it less portable and more expensive. Best suited for developers, enterprises, and enthusiasts who demand top-tier visual fidelity and precise tracking.
The HP Reverb G2 V2 offers premium 2160×2160 per-eye resolution, integrated spatial audio, and inside-out tracking, making it a top choice for professionals and visual-centric gamers. Its reliance on a high-end PC, limited IPD range, and wired connection can be drawbacks for users seeking ultimate freedom. Best suited for designers, engineers, and gamers who prioritize visual fidelity over absolute tracking precision.

The VIVE Pro is a professional-grade VR headset featuring dual AMOLED displays with 1440×1600 per-eye resolution, integrated Hi-Res headphones, precise room-scale tracking, and mixed-reality capabilities, designed for both consumer and enterprise use.
Users praise the headset's premium visual clarity and immersive audio, but note the demanding hardware requirements and cumbersome wired setup.
Professional reviewers commend the Reverb G2 V2 for its industry-leading resolution, lightweight construction, and integrated spatial audio, noting it as a solid evolution of the original. However, they point out that the inside-out tracking is still less reliable than Lighthouse-based systems and that the limited IPD range and lack of external sensor support are notable drawbacks.
Everyday users love the crystal-clear visuals and the plug-and-play simplicity of the headset, praising the comfort of the magnetic face cushions and the convenience of the long cable. Recurring frustrations center on controller tracking drift, occasional lens fogging, fit issues for larger heads, and the necessity of a high-end PC to fully exploit the resolution.
