About HTC Vive Pro 2
To understand why HTC Vive Pro 2's $800-plus price tag feels reasonable, we must go beyond the technical specs (which are already impressive). The highlight is the 5K panel display screen, a talking point among reviewers when the Vive Pro 2 was first released, but the box content is perhaps more surprising. In addition to the headset, buyers get a link box, a mini-DP-DP adapter, a DisplayPort cable, a lens cleaning cloth, and other useful extras.
For simple VR videos and games, the HTC Vive Pro 2 is too much. However, if you're only using the best VR porn sites and accessing premium 5K and 8K content, we recommend it as the best-value pro-level option in the market.
The drawbacks? The HTC Vive Pro 2 is hard to configure and requires strong external processing power for full resolution (namely, GeForce® RTX 20 series (Turing) and AMD Radeon™ 5000 (Navi) generations or newer). Additionally, some consumers don't want to pay over $800 for a product that's not exactly new (released in 2021).
