    The Vive headset is the better of the two, hopefully a demo for the vive will be set up in store so you can see for yourself.

    Uncomfortable to play around

    The front facing camera, and the chaperone system are extremely helpful and make maneuvering with the headset on a breeze. The headset is very comfortable and better accommodates my glasses than the oculus, but that's about it. The track pads are somewhat easy to use but oversensitive and seem to stick, the grip buttons were really stiff, I don't think it should be that difficult to click a button. Add in the batteries in both controllers only lasted about 4.5, maybe 5 hours after a full charge, and I'm left extremely disappointed. The setup took way longer than the oculus and with tons more wiring. The tracking system was extremely glitchy half the time, looking through a menu and the image kept shifting back and forth rapidly and if the sensors were vibrating. The vives only strong suit at this point is how the headset is easier on those wearing glasses, and the image quality is better, but not by a whole lot. I strongly believe they need to revisit the drawing board for the controllers, and instead of all the extra buyable accessories, give the full headset with built in audio as the base, then it would be well worth the 580+ I paid.

    Headset

    Started out great fun to play. About a week and a half past the return date the vive stopped working. We did all the trouble shooting on steam and htc's sites nothing helped. Contacted HTC Tec support they gave a few others to try but they didn't work. Sent the head set in for repair. HTC is telling me to pay $270.00 for the repair. they say its water damaged. How can you make something that gets strapped to your body (head) and not make it water (sweat) proof. I own watches and phones that are water proof. And for the head set not to be is a manufacturer flaw. Also HTC changed the wording of their warrantee from does not cover water damage other than perspiration to does not cover water damage. So now I'll have to contact a lawyer , BBB and consumer protection agency
