In a VR landscape headed by the Meta Quest 2, with its affordable and effortless design, any VR headset entry has a lot to contend with. The HTC Vive XR Elite makes a good bat as a standalone, high end PC VR headset, and the specs really look great on the box. But there are a few things to consider especially as PC gamers, and especially when it comes in at $1,099 / £1,299—over two-and-a-half times the price of the Quest 2.
It has to be said that the HTC Vive XR Elite is one of the least ugly headsets I've seen, and with it HTC's vision of a super lightweight XR headset has been realised. Not only does it sit comfortably on my head, it's perfectly weighted between the front and the back, and avoids piling its 614 grams of weight on the nose area.
