Pros & Cons

Headset has a flip-up design, don't have to take the headset all the way off to see normally

High resolution display, no screen-door effect

Can pay extra for a wireless adapter

Lots of connectivity issues, more software headaches than the Quest 2 or Index

Expensive, and comes with the exact same controllers as the regular Vive
