Small sweet spot, Not compatible with all Steam games, Too expensive
At the beginning of this review, I expressed how difficult it had been to reach a decisive verdict on the HTC Vive Cosmos. It's such an extraordinary blend of highs and lows that I'm not sure I can recommend it. Like the Rift S, it's full of little niggle...

Great graphics in most titles,Generally smooth setup,Big library of virtual reality games,
High cost of ownership, Still cabled to a computer, Occasional tracking issues,
The HTC Vive Cosmos is a top-notch VR headset and you'll have a great time with it - but a high price and occasional tracking blips mean HTC hasn't quite hit the bullseye yet.Reasons to buy+Great graphics in most titles+Generally smooth setup+Big library...
The Vive Cosmos, no matter what option you go for, isn't what I'd consider entry-level PC VR - especially when you can buy the Oculus Rift S for £399/$399, almost half the price of the Cosmos, with a similar six-camera tracking system on offer. But, with...

Excellent displays, Strong build quality, Flip visor, No external base stations, Upgradeable,
Expensive, Limited day-one software support, Controller ergonomics need improvement, Controllers' AA batteries don't last long
The HTC Vive Cosmos is a great VR headset, but it's held back by poor controller ergonomics. Still, with a comfortable fit and the elimination of base stations, it's a solid replacement for the original HTC Vive...
Abstract: When it was released late last year, the HTC Vive Cosmos was in a sorry state. Setting up the VR headset on your PC was tedious and haphazard, and it sometimes outright failed the basic setup process. But even worse, its state-of-the-art inside-out contro...
Lacks Mini DisplayPort adapter in the box, Some of the design feels flimsy
From our brief initial time with the Vive Cosmos, we like what we see. It's a comfortable, capable and interesting VR device. It's almost certainly a great alternative to the Oculus Rift S.The Vive Cosmos is fairly joyful to wear, it's also easy on the ey...
Inside-out tracking makes setup quicker and easier, Super-high resolution display, Comfy and stylish design,
Far too expensive, Wired tether ruins immersion, Inside-out tracking only works in bright rooms,
The Vive Cosmos is a solid, but pricey, headset for VR enthusiasts happy to sacrifice convenience for a high-resolution display. For everyone else, though, the Oculus Quest looks like the better-value VR buy. ProsInside-out tracking makes setup quicker an...

Don't let the Vive Cosmos' breezy approach to VR fool you; you're still going to need a PC comparable in specs to what was recommended to run the Vive Pro. Sure, you'll save on the starter packs that are no longer required, but that already lofty £699 pri...
