Description: Improved resolution for better VR The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite brings virtual reality much closer to real life. You’ve got an improved screen panel with a higher resolution than before, so colours are more vibrant, details are more realistic and everything looks like it’s really there. It’s been ergonomically designed for a longer, comfier wear – even if you’ve got glasses on. Time to get back to real life? Just flip up the front of the headset. Freedom of movement Base stations and high-tech sensors throughout the headset give you pinpoint accuracy within your playroom. With all these sensors you can set up 15m 2 of VR space. That’s more than enough space to dodge bullets or swing your bow and arrow around properly. Hi-Resolution Audio with 3D audio The Vive Pro has a headset built in, so you’ll get incredible quality surround sound audio. The Vive Pro is Hi-Res Audio certified as well, so you know you’re going to get music and game audio that makes you feel a part of the virtual world

Review: If you ask me the Vive Cosmos Elite is the better of all the Vive Cosmos SKUs. Sure, it is much more expensive given that the only real difference is that you get an external tracking faceplate and two Lighthouse base stations. But when it comes to tracking it is this headset that is the better option. Tracking is faster, better and you can shoot behind you for those amazing shots. Sure, it is extra work to setup those base stations and the headset doesn’t offer anything much over the original, but the problem is the original Vive Cosmos is pricy anyway, so why not pay that bit extra and go all out.
