Presentation: While nothing amazing the Acer AH101 comes in a nice black box with a wireframe image of the headset on the top. Opening the box you can see the headset with other boxes for all the wires and paperwork. While it isn’t exactly premium packaging it should arrive at most peoples houses intact thanks to the sturdiness of the packaging.

Review: The kindest thing I can say about the Acer AH101 is that it is super easy to use and set up with almost no hassle at all. When it comes to using the headset it wasn’t the most comfortable, but with time you can learn to get used to it. Sadly like many other Windows mixed reality headsets this one also suffers from loss of tracking every now and again and while that isn’t an issue in slower-paced games in faster games like Beat Saber it can be very annoying. While it doesn’t have the best of overall build quality it is still pretty affordable and that makes it worth a look, especially if you can grab one 2nd hand.
