HP reverb g2 is pretty solid
It's discontinued unfortunately, so don't expect much in the way of support. But it is a great VR headset that you can get on the cheap ATM
I'm really not a fan of Windows MR, both because it's locked to Windows but also because it's kind of temperamental, but it's a good headset in terms of resolution at least (and comfort).
Although I will admit it's not as buggy as it used to be so that's a plus.
Out of curiosity:
I was looking into VR headsets half a year ago and found the PICO 4 interesting as a budget option to try VR.
The Display of the G2 seems to be a lot better but costs an additional 250€. Does it really make the experience that much better and worth the bigger investment if you only want to try it out and fear that the headset will only collect dust after a month or so?
Honestly, If you are just trying out vr I think you should go for the cheaper option. I don’t have a frame of reference though as the G2 was my first headset. You also need to have a good enough GPU for the increased resolution.
Thanks, I guess I will go for the PICO once my urge to buy some new tech appears again.
Just an FYI, but the PICO 4 is made by ByteDance which is the parent company of TikTok. Facebook is awful but I don’t trust TikTok either.
