A hard price point to recommend. It's difficult to recommend the Vive Cosmos for $699 when you can get the Rift S for $300 less or the Valve Index for $300 more. The headset looks amazing when adjusted properly, but its sweet spot is small and it's just n...

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...
