Description

The HTC VIVE Cosmos Elite is an advanced VR headset which you use with a gaming PC. Connect the Cosmos Elite to your computer or laptop with at least one NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 video card and get started in virtual reality. The tracking system supports 6 degrees of freedom, so the Cosmos Elite accurately tracks and registers all your movements, even when you jump and turn around quickly. With the built-in speakers, you no longer need a headset to receive audio from the glasses. You can easily fold the glasses up with the new tilting system when you're not using them. This comes in very handy if you want to put something aside or grab something. Via the headband, you can adjust the Cosmos Elite so it's always properly on your head. You can also adjust the lenses to your liking to always have a sharp image. On top of that, the chance of motion sickness is reduced with a refresh rate of 90Hz, so you can game in VR without any issues.

note: don't throw away the packaging. You'll need this if you need to return the VR headset for repair.

Review is 5,6 out of 10.

Definitely not recommended for this price

wireless
nice picture
comfortable
Expensive for what you get

I did not like the product because of the high price compared to the tracking and possibilities with different games. Especially with a shooter it is impossible to aim because if your controller is too close to his face the tracking is almost no longer there. Returned the headset and bought the valve index

Miss price?

These were my first VR glasses. I couldn't wait any longer so I went for this one. It was a bit of a swallow in terms of price but once the box came I fell backwards. Wow what a first impression. Once you open the box you will see a fantastic organized compartment with all the parts . The base stations and their accessories . The controllers and the glasses. Also all numbered and the chargers labeled. So that there is really no ambiguity. The base stations are provided by valve from steam and use the latest steam tracking 2.0 . The controllers feel like PlayStation controllers , very robust and solid , feel great in the hand and all the best ? They have force feedback! . Once you've experienced that, you don't want anything else. The glasses what can I say when I saw them I thought what bulky that's going to be difficult. Especially because I have a very bad neck due to osteoarthritis and hernia. None of . Once you figure out how to adjust it perfectly, you're so used to it. You can feel it in terms of size but certainly not too heavy. . The picture quality was fantastic i tried with the latest game half live alyx and i was staring at my hands for the first 5 minutes ingame wow just wow . The padding of the headset is just heavenly the adjustment too. Advantage the iPd adjustment is mechanical, (that is the distance between your pupils). Once you get started with the supplied software you'll be away in no time, I thought this was going to be something but from the start you get very clear instructions and images and references to what to do, how, and in which steps. It was a great experience . The sound yes what can I say . I'm very sensitive to it and for earphones that don't even go over your ears it's a fantastic experience. In short, this headset is expensive, but I have not regretted it for a moment. The only downsides I think you have to take into account is the whistling of the base stations which can be a point of annoyance for some . And setting up the base stations takes a while. I must say that I just randomly arranged them and was very surprised at how well they followed the movements . Because of the tones once I had the headset on I didn't really mind anymore, which was strange considering I'm very sensitive to high tones. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
