Presentation: As with all the previous HTC headsets the Vive Focus Plus is well packaged and nicly presented with a shiny white box on the outside and the inside is white and quite frankly rather basic. But everything is neatly packaged and there is a nice image of the headset itself on the folded out box lid. You get that feeling that this is a premium product, but given that if is supposed to be the premium version of this headset you might have expected a little more…pizazz.

Review: The biggest issue I have with the Vive Focus Plus was that this is a headset aimed at the business market, but there is nothing here to suggest why they would use it. It doesn’t feature the latest tech, it doesn’t feature anything to make it easier to work with or easier to use. Sure, it is designed to be used by a lot of different people, but that is about it! This headset is nothing more than an overpriced Vive Focus and nothing else. It’s still a pretty good headset, but when it is going up against the Oculus Quest it fails in almost every department.
