HTC has a new flagship VR Standalone headset: the Vive XR Elite! But is it as great as the name and the price tag imply? And is it better than the Quest Pro? I had the chance to try out the device and here are my first impressions!

@axs203 Год назад

It will be interesting to hear your honest opinion! (including whether it is worth the price!)

@seraphimelegy6747 Год назад

Too little too late. Dont see a way of it being worth it, unless someone really wants to pay double just to not use Pico, or just for smaller form factor.

@Sycophantichallenger Год назад

Would like a comparison to something like the Varjo Aero... If I'm going to drop 1100 on a headset... I'll just as soon drop 2k on a headset.

@imaginationstation321 Год назад

i like the small form factor, kinna reminds me of megane x. Would love to have something small and light i can wear for hours comfortably, which has been missing in market.

@INTERROBANG-by7ys Год назад

HTC really should have invited Sebastian to their offices for user testing during the development phase. It would’ve really helped them to understand what features they should not miss if they want the product to be successful.

Yes. Arpara should have done also. Professional beta tester Seb.

Amazing first impressions Sebastian ! Especially the fact that you compare each separate aspect to a 'known experience' from another existing headset gives us something we can relate to as if we were there ourselves to try the headset first hand. Keep it up !

@milannesic5718 Год назад

@@heyjeySigma I also hope that Quest 4 in 2026 will finally have better FOV. But we should be careful with the predictions. Since 2012, the ultimate VR headset is always 5 years away. Even Michael Abrash fell victim to that and in 2016 predicted 140 FOV and 2x4k displays for year 2021

@OmaGames Год назад

Thanks for the review. I'm still shopping for my first VR headset and I've been waiting on the Vive XR Elite reviews to see if this will be my first one. I like that they do not take personal data for resell so I think paying a higher price to keep my privacy, this might be worth it.

@fullstomache Год назад

Your Focus 3 review was very good and convinced me to get that headset for PCVR. I do like it, but if the XR Elite is an overall better experience (form factor, lenses, better battery/charging options, weight distribution, binocular overlap comparison, F3 "120" FOV vs XR "110" FOV, F3 3.5 audio jack vs no jack on the XR, heat generation and fan noises, and lenses+panel combo), I'd definitely like to know. The lenses+panel combo difference is important, as F3 has noticable glare. But, the F3 got a VBS streaming quality update to 'ultra' at 3072 x 3072@90hz 200mbps for RTX 4000s dual video encoder, so it would be hard to give that up. I really hope your full XR Elite review can cover this comparison! Oh, and the overall eye comfort experience of the F3 with prescription lens inserts or glasses vs the XRs diopter!

@sadierobotics Год назад

I wish they had a more affordable version without the mixed reality features, maybe even with a battery-less strap, just for PCVR. If the price were under a thousand I might have started saving up for it.

@rikusama13 Год назад

The feature for eye ajustment is just SO AMAZING, I would love to see this come from more affordable devices like pico or meta, it would be so amazing for me because I have myopia

@ColinDyckes Год назад

The crazy thing is that this is utterly trivial to do. As in this review, and my OG Samsung Gear VR headset, you simply have the lenses on a fine pitch 'screw' so that it can move slightly further from the panel and the only downside is a very slight loss of FOV! I simply don't know why this isn't universal. It's the reason I won't buy an Aero (not interested in add-on lenses!).

@FantasyNero Год назад

Finally a thorough and well balanced review of this headset. Didn’t knew that power bank was demonstrated for use. Love it. I wonder what continuous power from power bank or charger will do the cpu and stock tiny mint batteries ? I can understand laptops on continuous power but this small and light duty product?!?!

@VRFlightSimGuy Год назад

You totally nailed this first impressions video, thanks Seb!

@tomtomkowski7653 Год назад

With such a price I would expect 2x 4K and a DisplayPort. This can't compete with Pico 4 in this case which is quite a shame. Maybe someone will finally create a Pico 4 competitor but with DP included for PCVR and better FOV. Oh well... will wait.

@CognosSquare Год назад

The wifi 6E is a redeeming factor tho. You could do a much faster/lighter encode and use more bandwidth instead.

@Meianju Год назад

I keep coming back despite the price, there's something's here. One extra good feature like bigger fov, oled screen, better resolution or even extra passthrough camera and it would have been pretty incredible. There's also the question of privacy, how important is it truly and how much is it worth. It's modulability is another feature that makes me want to support it.

@thunderbolt10031 Год назад

This is honestly the first standalone style headset that has even remotely piqued my interest. The price is steep, but this form factor and the potential moving forward looks incredible. This is something I can see myself carrying around a lot and using with my laptop with a link cable if I can't do everything on the device itself. I really hope this catches a lot of attention and I hope HTC takes this and makes a simplified version at a cheaper price to disrupt the market. I absolutely love my Vive Pro Eye, but this looks like it could replace it very easily, especially with the eye and face trackers that are following soon.

@palmTreeeeee Год назад

The lenses remind me of a problem I saw with the Aero, looks like there is too much of a gap between them, which would cause poor stereo overlap, even if you had them as close as they go, looks like the gap is too big, like you're looking through a pair of binoculars, with less of a merged image. No local dimming or oled is a deal breaker for me going forward and this is gen 1 fov, htc need to do better to justify a grand. They could have a tough time selling any of these at this price

@Mike-bg3cf Год назад

The removable back would be good for laying down

@AlexKidd4Fun Год назад

Great point that didn't occur to me immediately!

@pakman184 Год назад

That might not be the case. It looks like those arms go a fair bit behind the head and resting on a pillow could push it up off your face, not to mention you'd need to be snuggling with a battery pack + long cable.

@Mike-bg3cf Год назад

@@pakman184 I agree I thought of that after I made this comment. You might have to be careful not to push the headset forward off your face because of those arms. But it might work out, it will definitely be better than the adjusting knob and I don't think the battery pack is any kind of problem at all if you're laying down

@CognosSquare Год назад

Oh man. The ergonomics seems great. They look sexy. And I'm ok with paying extra for a prosumer XR HMD. But I would need that 3D passthrough implemented and tested first, and of course HTC are working on that. They will have solved really complex frontline problems when they get SLAM+depthsensor+RGB working.

@DWyn-xq4yf Год назад

Very helpful insights. Thank you. I was waiting to hear someone talk about the difference the depth sensor makes when in pass-through mode, along with the quality of the color pass-through camera before deciding on a Quest Pro or this new HTC set. There are things I like about the hardware, such as the form factor, diopter, and the modular design, but after hoping for more from the color pass-through and depth sensor, I am crestfallen for the MSRP.

@ubarwolfie1689 Год назад

I have OQPro and definitely recommend it. Have had about 5 VRs - including the Index... I'm using the OQPro for a lot of RU-vidVR everyday and browser + poker. Standalone fantastic.. and when connected to PC/Steam - it's amazing. MRTV's review wasn't that good, but it's because of his personal comfort (I find it THE most comfortable) and the price (glad to see HTC's is not that far off).

If only they had put the 2.5k panels of the Focus 3 in. It would have been a win. But now its just a too late gimmick with its current specs. Pico 4 crushes it at pcvr at higher resolution, bigger fov, and half the price. Would loved to see those Focus 3 panels with the pancake lenses, Wahh!!

@utubby3730 Год назад

Yeah, this is just missing the mark a bit for me. I had given up on HTC honestly, so it was a surprise to see them take a swing at something I might have considered.

It would be an instabuy (if I got the spare money) and if it could run some Quest games I like. As both are android based devices I wonder if it would be possible. I am wowed bye the form factor and modularity. So it'd be nice if I could carry around a power efficient SteamVR capable gpu form factor laptop or gaming device that'd simultaneously charge the headset and drive the display through the cable (which might be more powerefficient then using wireless). For now I'm quite happy with the Quest Pro but a bit jealous of the even smaller form factor. With the higher resolution pass through mode, walking around and using them as expensive spare glasses is also nice! I also want an alpha transparency hardware slider for windows or apps, so I can lookup something while sitting on the couch, even though I could use my smarphone or watch for that.

the form factor and comfort seems very enticing but the FOV turned me off. I can really see the benefit of the removable battery strap section for high back chair and lean back comfort. A lot to like about the headset and HTC are innovating here but I'd rather pay another 400 or 500 pounds (over the price of this headset) for mini LED (or better) and wider FOV as well. Such a thing does not exist. So, its a Pico4 for me in the meantime (as a PCVR headset). Also, Interesting that the separate power bank / stream unit (I understand you can use an android phone to stream stuff) is a feature, seen a lot of ridicule that Apple might be going for a pocket compute/ power unit, I really don't have a problem with that if it affords a better experience.

I don't think enough people are aware of this. Sony are really paying for a lot of the hardware for you. The software library is going to boost probably better than any other headset over its life too. I've not seen it but uploadvr talked about loving the screens so I think I could make that my upgrade path from a quest2. I'm just waiting to see how this year plays out for a bit before making my choice but Sony is in my top three so far. This headset here? I wouldn't touch this, hold the line!

@HansMilling Год назад

So, it cost double of the Quest 2, that is way too expensive for most consumers. Two questions. How easy is it to clean the fabrics. And can you play your Steam VR games on this as stand alone (not connected to a PC), or you need to buy the games all over. That is what prevents me for swapping my original Vive headset for a Quest 2 or Pico 4, that I still need to connect to a PC to play the games I bought on Steam VR even though many of them are built native for the headset. My PC is not powerful enough for these new headsets, so I need to run the games in the headset. But if this from Vive will allow me to transfer the games to the headset, that would be great.

@thunderbolt10031 Год назад

DP would have dramatically increased the expense of this. You can’t just slap DP into anything. It’s not that simple. The XR2 doesn’t have direct DP support, it has to be added with additional hardware that this tiny HMD doesn’t have the space for. I’m sorry, but people are going to have to get over lack of DP support until a new SOC drops with it integrated. Licensing and additional hardware on board makes it virtually impossible to integrate into standalone HMDs right now, because it isn’t feasible.

For people who are PCVR focused like me, for the resolution, processing power and tracking precision; are the added features to the XR or Quest Pro worth converting to?

@KyroOryk Год назад

It definitely depends on what you want. As somebody who is heavily invested into social VR and PCVR as a whole the biggest thing with inside out tracking headsets is losing hand tracking due to occlusion. Personally, I could never give up my index because I have an easy full body setup and can more or less be tracked in any position, from being face down on the floor to doing a handstand. While its specs might not be the best (4 years old in a few months) there has been nothing so far I want to give it up for. More or less, do you intend on getting invested into VRChat or not lol.

@LayaVulpes Год назад

Have in mind that I never had any headsets in my home but I tried couple of them over time. Tbh the pancake lanses are alone woth converting. Eye and face tracking of quest pro is a game changer for social/online games, but if you dont care it, then XR Elite would be a go to headset for you. Mind that both headsets are overpriced, cuz of the new technologies, so for normal consumer they arent the best to buy. Also most heasets that will be released from now forward will have pancake lanes so it will be more common in the future, of course we all should wait for review of the HTC headset. So if you want a better headset right now then yeah, go ahead, but there will be more headsets released in this year, like Quest 3 and hopefully a Valve Deckard...Decard will probably be the best headset when it will come out or maybe it will be overhyped product...who knows. If you are like me and can wait even another year for new headset then wait, but if you are craving for new one, then go ahead and buy either of headest. I wont be a big jump in next-gen vr but I would say the headsets is more like QoL changes that are more than welcome.

Nah. Ideally we'd like to have at least 2.5k resolution per eye. FOV, bigger is always ideal

@@KyroOryk Rec room was cool when i came out and I dropped off. I think I'm more drawn to the immersion from vr, the best resolution, tracking and wireless are great. I'd be willing to deal with cords for high quality rendering and great tracking. Blew my mind first time someone tossed me a vive wand and caught it.

This makes me feel the Pico 4 is extremely good value!

The headset is very impressive to me and when it comes to gaming my top choice in headsets that are available right now or coming out in Q1 of 2023. I am curious how easy it is to use with HTC Base Stations and trackers, I expect full integration unlike the Quest 2 where I will have to recalibrate for Full body tracking all the time. I also love the fact that modules for face and eye tracking can be added, whether these modules can be simultaneously worn though is still a question for me. Also it would be great if even with the addition of these modules the price of the headset stays under $1400 (I doubt it though). Next it's interesting that you say HTC is not a Chinese company, because of the current political climate between China and Taiwan. Some countries including China deny the existence of Taiwan as a separate country which would make the company Chinese... I do understand that you are simply trying to say it's a headset not made by Byte Dance or Meta. I currently have a Quest 2 and the Vive XR Elite is looking like an awesome upgrade, the only thing that makes me hesitant is the fact that the controllers don't have cameras like the Quest Pro.. so far no one has talked about what it's like when you put the controllers behind your head and for me that's where the Quest 2 really takes a hit and is the most annoying thing to me.

The reduced size alone is worth the price difference.

@pokepokepoke64 Год назад

Why do companies keep removing the top head strap. The reverb g2 is the most comfortable headset I’ve tried solely due to that top strap

@TonyPaulazzo Год назад

For £1000 I want bigger FOV, eye tracking and proper 3D external view. I do like the removable back power bank, tho it would be nice to replace it with a fabric band as the glasses structure doesn't look that secure (but good for movies in bed).

@Meianju Год назад

Yeah, not sure why they didn't think of a simple elastic band.

@handlechar568 Год назад

why so expensive in uk/europe?

@TonyDrecaps Год назад

Resolution & FOV should have been higher. Also needed displayport

@CognosSquare Год назад

I think this is the most we will get resolution-wise with an XR2 processor. And with that resolution you have to limit the FOV so that the passthrough gets sharp enough to read text.

@SeanoldBeasley Год назад

Hmmmmm. Seems like a smaller quest pro made by a different company. Pretty cool! But we’re all waiting on the quest 3!

@TheBigb1973 Год назад

is the pico 4 better? what about fov?

@violet_amber Год назад

Thanks alot Seb for this great first impression review, please did you notice any significant use of the depth sensor currently.

@a46xyonix Год назад

Interesting, but not quite what I'm looking for as a replacement for my Valve Index.

@danr2652 Год назад

I actually like using VR with PC via wifi. I hope they will continue to support it.

@HTCVive Год назад

Hello Dan! VIVE XR Elite does support Wi-Fi 6 + 6E. You may refer to this page for a complete list of supported countries: www.vive.com/us/support/focus3/category_howto/in-what-regions-can-wifi-6e-be-used.html.

@slapthekillswitch Год назад

having a Diopter is a huge plus for me.

@gar_ee8884 Год назад

Don't care about the headset as is, will be a different story if the eye and face tracker addons are affordable though. I wonder if the headset itself has a built in battery so you have the ability to hot swap batteries without it shutting off on you..

@silvernskye5132 Год назад

In the htc ces presentation they did say it was hot swappable

@SeriousASMR Год назад

I dunno still seems like a flow to me with a bit of hardware upgrades but still same lenses probably i wouldnt get this for gaming over the real vr headset with bigger fov
