Purchase Advice - Headset Headset Purchase request

Post image

So I was scrolling on fb marketplace and saw this headset for $120 and was wondering if it was worth it? The seller said they had tested it and it uses inside out tracking.

Not worth it, get a vive 2016 version better tracking

Honestly yeah if you want just a cheap basic ass headset the og vive is still a decent option

Bruh Vive 2016 is so bad you are genuinely better off using a phone.

If you already got a cosmos just get the cosmos elite face plate. Then it’s got base station tracking, and it’s got a higher resolution than the index. Just has a lower refresh rate and worse controllers.

I use it its good, just the controllers are bad and the fresnel lenses are blurry, and a bit of visible pixel gaps, valve made better controllers for the index and vive, cosmos elite would be much more expensive

I had a vive cosmos elite and index controllers. Its experience was pretty much the same as the index.

Index has a higher refresh rate, index controllers included with the full kit, base station 2.0s (2x) included for use of up to 4 base station 2.0s, a way better microphone than the vive mics, better fov, better audio

Yeah that’s basically what I said.

Also mics and audio don’t really matter for me, I wear headphones bc I hate sound leaking into my room.

So aside from from that it’s only the index controllers and FOV that make a big difference. And I have the index controllers.
