The BEST VR Headset in the WORLD just went CONSUMER 

The 2nd half of this video is probably the favorite I have ever put on this channel. Discord.gg/Thrill Twitch.tv/Thrilluwu

This is EXACTLY why I waited to upgrade my setup.

"Don't go into crippling debt for a VR headset." - Thrill Ye. Let's move those words of wisdom to the front of the video, because now I need to call my credit card company.

The Quest 2 has definitely spoiled me. The price/feature ratio is heavily on the Q2's side. It's definitely not perfect, but it's more than good enough. With that being said, I would like to see an affordable headset that isn't tied to a data mining company like Facebook. I'd love to see the Aero at under $1000.

"locked behind locked doors" - amazing writing 🙂

I turn 51 tomorrow, and this video actually made me a little wistful and sad. You guys that have 25 and 30 years on me are going to get to see so much really cool and amazing technology. By the time you're my age, full-body tracking suits, full motion gaming pads (treadmills), and lifelike visuals will be the *norm*, at reasonable consumer prices, and the "cutting edge" stuff you'll be experiencing is stuff we can't even *imagine* right now. What we've got now is the kind of stuff I dreamed of as a kid, drowning myself in any sci-fi medium I could get my hands on. I'm so thankful and happy that I get to experience the beginnings of it, and at the same time, I wish I could be around to see what you guys will be experiencing and how mind-blowingly amazing it will all be forty or fifty years from now.

This reminds me a lot of what I experienced when I got glasses for the first time, I never knew the world I was living in had so much detail. This seems a lot like that experience in a way.

I think its important to state that with the higher resolution a headset has, the more powerful your pc needs to be.

If it wasn't for this channel I wouldn't know anything about what's new in this industry. Thanks for the constant updates!

I was so excited until I looked at the 78 cents on my desk

I gotta say, hearing the passion of VR in your voice has me coming back for every video. I don't have a VR headset yet, but I have never wanted one before more than after I discovered your videos. Thank you.

Subscribed. When you explained there's something more special and profound with VR than first meets the eye you had me.

i've been looking for so long for a good VR equipment start this year and this headset could be excatly the thing i've been looking for! thank you very much

This whole experience blew my mind!! So glad we got to experience this headset… @.@ And this is ONLY the beginning~ I LOVE VR AHHHHHHH

I hope Santa answers my Christmas wish this year

I recently ordered that device and I'm so excited to try it out. Thank you for the video! :)

Nice to see the evolution. Thanks for the video.

Fantastic break down man. Give it 3-5 years and I think this will be the norm at the price of a console.

me: "Consumer? that must mean it's like $600!" > It's $2200 "I guess I'll wait ten more years."

Thank you for all your videos I really love them and find every one of them very helpful

Your love for VR and the way you talk about it just puts a smile on my face.

Bro, the passthrough on this thing! This is like in the 60's when color came out on TV! This is the god of VR

“Virtual reality has never looked so real” Me: watching this on my shattered iPhone 8 screen with 480p: 0:

Thanks again for these videos. You help us so much.

You're doing such a great job, Thrill. Thanks so much. We all see what's coming and this channel is going to continue to be at the center of it.

We're just a few years away from something like this in

VR is amazing, Would love to experience this masterpiece. Surprisingly, IRL friends of mine still don't get catched with VR. The speed of progress in VR makes me want to start a local company so every person will be able to experience this already. Can't imagine the expressions people will get trying something as this out for the first time in such a small town where I live.

Thanks for the great review! I’m completely sold on the Pimax 12k right now and can’t wait to try that beast! 200 degrees field of view is bonkers!

I love the little bit at the end, your such a nice guy. I think we all enjoy living VR vicariously through you.

Honestly, I'm really surprised that they actually made a lower-end model for consumers. Usually it's not even made available to us. I doubt I'd buy something like this, but if the FOV got better or if we could get a standardized wireless streaming solution that handled the huge amount of data necessary, it could be awesome. Having used the Pimax 5K Super and the CV1, I think I more lean towards needing wireless as a convenience to use the headset more often, followed by non-base station tracking. My play-space is very occluded a lot of the time, so I need something that can handle that, especially as the Pimax headsets have a hard connecting with/being seen by the base stations as-is for me.

I would totally pay 2k or for a headset, but the missing mic and 115 FOV is a deal breaker at this price... maybe if I try it I would change my mind

I love this. Been ages since I looked into VR, and man am I stoked. Time to join in, 1000%!

The description of your Varjo experience eerily mirrors my first experience imbibing lysergicdiethylamide. Love the vids!

I love hearing the passion in your voice, it's like meeting someone who understands the love for VR just as much as I do. The Aero looks so nice, and God I wish I could enrich myself in VR as much as I want to.

Hey Varjo if you're watching I know what I want for Christmas thanks 😂

I noticed the texture thing while playing No Man's Sky on a Quest 2. Most of it was good, but you could totally tell the difference between geometry and bump/displacement maps while driving the land vehicles. They've upped the resolution on many things since, but it definitely can be a downer when you get a nice new headset.

will be pre-ordering! great vid Thrill ... Phia too keep it up!

"This MAY BE my next everyday headset" is such a disappointing sentiment to hear about a cutting-edge pro-sumer product when his _current_ everyday headset is 2 years old and half the price. Edit: actually a *quarter*, as some people have corrected

5 seconds in and I'm already smiling at that excitement! Love you thrill

Great review! Very excited for the near VR future :)

Great video, can't wait to experience something like this. Might feel like putting on a headset for the first time again.

Well said. I'm 41. I remember as a kid playing on an Atari 2600 infront of a boob tube floor model TV with the neighbor kid for hours.. I remember the playable display for the OG Gameboy at Walmart. The 3DO and VirtualBoy too. Got my own SNES, N64, GameCube, 360, PS3&4. All dinosaur hardware now. From my perspective, hardware wise, the first Occulus is to VR what the OG Gameboy was for gaming as well as gamers. Coming from that level of tech, to what you crazy kids have access to today is mind blowing. The techs acceleration of development in the last decade is truly impressive, the result of great minds combined with many long hours at work and vast sums of money. I patiently await the day when most headsets are no bigger than a pair of meaty sunglasses. I'd be ok if all the VR hardware was actually just run off your smart phone in your back pocket or haptic vest. The headset would be composed of a set of screens and lenses only. One day soon I'm sure. We will get there. And after that, the next logical step after haptics fully evolve is full neural integration with hardware. Probably VR/AR contact lenses at first. Wonder if I'll still be around? I'd spend $2000 on a headset, sure. It'd take a sec to set aside for one. Priorities first. Always. Remember that no matter how good the virtual world is, you can't survive to play again another day if you neglect actual reality. Pay your bills. Take a shower. Eat good quality food, you'll live longer=game longer. Call your guardian figure on Legal Guardian Day. Stay frosty.

I'm really glad you added that at the end. As much as we all love this hobby, it is still just that, a hobby. People should not be putting themselves into financial debt to play on the latest and best headset. If you do, then it's no longer a hobby, it's an addiction and you need help.

First time watching and the content is great and enjoyed everything. But your comment at the end that just brings everyone back to reality was great and why I subscribed. Everyone should think before going into debt. Great video and great message.

can't help but notice the Nurture t-shirt. absolutely amazing video dude, i hope i can have a headset that good one day :)

2000$ WITHOUT Microphone/Audio? Wow...

This is the best review if the aero I've seen. Thank you for pointing out all the pluses and minus. Everything you said was on point.

That's really good advice at the end there, cheers.

Hey Thrill, are you going to check out the "rev 2" version of the Reverb G2? Apparently, they improved the tracking with the controllers by 30%, changed the face plate bit that increases FOV a bit and fixed issues with AMD systems with a new cable.

VR as a monitor replacement is one of the main things I'm excited for. I'm convinced it's coming and will be a big quality of life improvement in my work & entertainment flow once the right hardware comes along. Love seeing us get closer and closer with each new headset.

I always watched and loved your content, but the nurture shirt is why I subscribed❤️

Wise words at the end. Great vid, long shall they continue :)

maybe I'm just having a bad day but I actually started to cry when I watched this. vr has been my only escape for along time now and wow it hit hard when you said "worlds I've spent hours in" thank you please keep making content 🙏

I liked the ending where you explained your view point on getting it and telling people not to go into debt for it. The best way I can explain it, is it felt very legit of you.

getting goose bumps at the idea of vrs pathway and how quick its evolving..

Good video! Like the points about being careful on spending if you cant afford it. Its great to see your enthusiasm for this, reminds me of how lucky we are to have all this!

Just ordered mine. Hope it's worth the wait. I have a 6DOF motion platform and hope it will be a nice compliment to my current setup. Thanks for the video!

The second half of this video really resonated with me. I know exactly what you mean and can't wait to see what a headset like this can show me from experiences and worlds I have spent time in before.

Thank you for consistent, honest, passionate videos with high production values that don't any waste time or pull any punches. You're a diamond in the rough

Sounds awesome! Compelling video! Might get one.

The content this channel produces keeps getting better and better. I was here back in the rift s reviews and this is just amazing. Great job to you and any team you have.

They will be including earbuds with attached microphone and the distortion should be fixed by the time they ship via updated software. For me… the one potential deal breaker is the narrow FOV compared to Pimax. Plus we have to wait not much longer to see what the other guys are about to reveal. It’s such an exciting time for VR! Thanks for this very well done video. 🙏🏼😎

Every video gets more and more motivational. Been here for a long time thrill!

Excellent review! Your content if very accessable to the normal user and more advanced users of VR. 👏

Glad you had an amazing experience) Me myself though, I'm gonna stick to my quests for now)

I'm waiting for the RTX 4000 series to come out before I upgrade my VR setup... headsets like this really deserve good driving hardware. It's going to be a hard time waiting for everything to release. The no integrated mic is a weird decision though.

You just gotta love the music and visuals and just how amazing this man is in making videos

I really appreciate the last few minutes of your video. It is easy to start slowly and exponentially spending money on vr. This happened to me when I first got my quest 2. I was in awe, after a few weeks I HAD to buy a good gaming pc for it to experience pcvr, 1800$ later, I'm super happy with my vr setup but can still find myself buying an accessory here or there and have to remind myself not to lol but I do want cutting edge, but you're so true about keeping it in perspective. Thanks bro, love your vids. I used to be very active on vr chat before drama kinda ruined it for me. Haven't logged on since.

Bwahhhh, the writing and music blended together into such a great emotional message. Good work :D

I have been waiting for this to video to come out

Wow, this is exciting. I've been waiting for this since I bought my Vive 5 years ago.

Goosebumps.....every time you talk like that.....just goosebumps. I almost tear up thinking about it and how far vr has come, I cant wait till I can try the arrow

I loved your comment in the end about not getting in debt to experience VR, it really speaks a lot to me because I live in Brazil, I was in love the first time I saw the very first oculus headset, I used to imagine myself playing those games and experiencing VR, I was in awe when the first Vive headset was launched. Still to this day I want to experience VR so much, but here in Brazil a single headset can cost 8 full salaries, not including the PC which is more than that. My only option for now is buying the Oculus Quest 2, here is around R$ 3800,00 but still with another headset around the corner, I need to try and save every cent I can. I wish one day to experience the bleeding edge of VR, still for now it's just a Dream, but I hope it gets cheaper and cheaper on the future so I can finally experience it.

This is the best news I've heard in a really long time! Awesome video!

Ordered. Can’t wait till it comes in.

I saw your other video and just found this one! YES! Wishes do come true!

Amazing, thank you Varjo. God bless you and Varjo.

Every innovation I see makes me emotional, this stuff is absolutely amazing.

Let's GO brandon!! This thing looks awesome

I haven wanting to upgrade my Rift for the longest time , was looking at the Vive Pro or the index but now i have a third option. Honestly the fact it doesn't have a mic or head set works for me. I have some great headsets with Mic that i would rather use. Thanks for the Video and info . great review

This looks awesome! I think I could see myself getting something like this when it can do 120hz and has built in audio, but I'm very happy with the progression of VR

Man this is freaking amazing to see. I already put a good amount building my pc Id honestly pay for this headset the no audio thing isn't a issue for me.

Best review on the net. Thankyou 👍

Saw this video, got excited, then saw the new pimax announcement and im excited to see thrill's video on that next week xd

VR is the one thing that constantly excites me and keeps me looking towards the future. I definitely plan to have the best VR setup in the future.

bruh thank you for this, I don't have any VR headset yet because I'm too poor but knowing that the thing I'm saving up for keeps improving really makes me feel warm inside

Absolutely just love your take and views on everything, already watched about 5 other reviews on the headset from other channels but yours wins hands down, been in VR since 2012 with dk1 and even my g2 isn't wowing me anymore, I know I just need this to fall in love with VR again but at this price point and all the extras I would need, plus I need a new gpu, can't make the jump yet 😢

I love that Phia is chilling with you that’s awesome 👏 you guys and mystical are my favorites.

Me: Oooh, nice looking headset Later: $2,000? Eh, if its worth it, I might have to- No microphone: Yeah nevermind

No mention of how this doesn’t work with AMD GPUs :( I was hoping for more info on that.

I appreciate that you keep up on this tech like you do. I've given you a hard time in the past and apologize. The biggest issue with VR for me is the field of view. The day we get to fill our entire peripheral view, things will be amazing.

Great vid bro!!!

I have personally been a VR user since the Oculus Rift and I whole heartedly agree that this is incredible. I remember the day when I first got to try VR as a little kid and saying it blew my mind is an understatement. It is so good to see this magic of sorts finally becoming what I saw it as when I was little. I am going to wait to by this however, the ONLY reason being the price. Honestly though. I'm not even mad or even a little bit irritated, they just took a massive leap that I am super happy about.

Ive been wanting to get back into vr again once I got my pc. I use to have a psvr when it first launched, and that thing blew my mind away! Ive been watching your videos since July 9th 2019. I really want to get a high end headset like the index because I don't trust Oculus. Do you think I should wait a little more to see what prices look like for the varjo in a year?

“Make sure to take care of your reality first to ensure your virtual reality can be the best it can be “ --simply gold right there! 🙂

I cannot begin to imagine how advanced VR will be in the future, im in me early life rn so i have so much more to experience.

I wonder how long it will take until the full screen resolution reaches above 60 ppd. the VR-3 and XR-3 already have 70ppd at the center with the quad screen setup, but i don't know if there would be different technologies to achieve such resolutions with a simpler solutions. Keep up well updated when the improvements start to roll in!

How beautiful of a video can you make man. You just emanate wholesome energy and the way you speak more than personally to every single viewer touches my heart. You're an amazing person, and it's fun to literally look forward to watching your videos every week. You're a great guy, keep up the wholesomeness

Great video mate

love the video. also is there posible that you could make an update on the video? like compearing the beyond headset with the varjo Aero? now as the Aero droped in prise all the way down to 990euro
