    Great headset, annoying start up issues. Not wholly plug-and-play

    Great headset, annoying start up issues. Not wholly plug-and-play
    Resolution wise, these are amazing for the price! I’m not so sure I’d compare them to something like a Pimax or in the 4K league, but they do wonders. I hear a lot of people complain about periphery but I don’t see that issue as much, partially because I tend to be tunnel visioned when I play games. Primarily I use them on iRacing and Digital Combat Simulator, which have both been amazing titles to play in VR. I also played Assetto Corsa, except that I can’t get the FOV to work for me in that game.I also ended up making a custom bracket to hold everything on the rig I use which made the whole thing much more organized to work with.That was a good, here’s the bad.Nearly every time I start my computer and open up windows mixed reality, I always have to power cycle or USB cycle the headset before I can use it. It will not come straight onto the computer without some kind of issue. It’s a very simple thing to address in drivers or what not, I’m not sure why HP doesn’t deal with that. I heard on the newer revisions there’s a reset button on the power/usb block you push to jog power on/off. Really???Then there’s just a general issue of getting it to work on the computer. Not very straightforward, not that its HP‘s fault necessarily. There’s a lot of gears in the process of making it work. Steam VR is an option, but very unrecommended if you want good frame rate without a lot of overhead from the system. That means doing a bit of detective work for now until vendors and software developers get their act together.Within 6 months the right ear cup has become chronically intermittent. Meaning, you’ll be playing a game and the audio will cut out, but shaking your head or tapping it brings it back. Some sort of disconnect. I’m eventually going to move to a set of Bluetooth earbuds to address this problem. I don’t put that many hours in the seat at a time, so they should be able to last long enough. My other option would be to get some wired earbuds but that means running another cable to the computer which is difficult from a simrig, plus the added cabling that follows your head.Headtracking overall has been very good provided there’s enough light in the room. That seems to be the only thing I’ve noticed in terms of headtracking issues. I imagine if you had something else with satellites (a la Steam Index or similar) this would be a non-issue in the dark, but I didn’t want to have the extra equipment in the room just to use it. I rent an apartment, so I don’t wanna constantly have to keep moving those things around form place to place, plus it’s more things to break.For the image quality and cost, hard to beat this! Just know it may take a bit more proficiency and troubleshooting to iron out the kinks from day to day.

    The G2 is simply awesome. It's light weight, has great resolution and is super smooth! The face mask fits well and is comfortable and doesn't let in any light. I give it 5 starts because of this. However, there is a known issue with the cable and USB firmware, HP is aware of the issue and is working to correct it. The cable may or may not work well. I had a cable that worked for about a week, and it didn't work very well. Then all of a sudden my headset stopped working. I contacted HP support and they sent me a new cable free of charge. It took about two weeks for me to receive the new cable but the new cable fixed 100% of the issues I had before. Even though you might have an issue with the cable I would still completely recommend this headset but know that you might need a new cable. But it's totally worth it!!!

    I have just a few pros and all cons the cons first
    CONS:
    1: Graphics suck in Assetto Corsa Competizion. I tried LOW to EPIC and it just sucked, stutter, blur, focus see 4.
    2: Setup for iRacing is far easier but graphics/visuals is better than ACC setup is cumbersome but graphics is the achilles heal.
    3: In spite of reviews never get the SteamVR Vive Tracker 2.0 will not pair with controllers
    4: Either the lens were not installed correctly, I had to tilt my head up to see anything that came into focus reasonably. This was true in Mixed Reality, iRacing, ACC and general setup
    5: Over all setup was a bust, once I got it somewhat working, everything disappeared
    6: If you are a glass wearer and the glasses are larger than 5.5 inches wide and 1.5 inches Good luck

    PROS:
    1: It was comfortable to wear, with out glasses or smaller glasses then mentioned
    2: The sound was awesome.
    Overall, I had high expectations after going through almost all reviews, youtube, how too's. It was just not worth the pain of setup and torture to reset when it all went bad. I purchased this mainly to SIM Race. To be fair, I did manage to run an hour in ACC no motion sickness, but I had to run all graphcs at low. I have a AMD 5800x, X570 Aorus Elite WiFi MB, Crucial DDR4-266 Memory and an MSI RTX3060 12gb Graphics. With nothing running only ACC or iRacing stutter, blinking was just not worth it.

    Ryzen 9 5900, 32GB 3466MHz RAM, 1TB SDD + 2TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB GDDR6X Graphics, VR
    Ready, USB-C, Windows 11 Home …. I only use it for flight sims.. specially xplane 11. From the beginning I had no issues at all with my system detecting the Reverb G2 v2 and setup was as simply as following the directions during the intial set up process. Now it did take some time to tweak the headset to my liking for xplane 11 .. more trial and error but that’s all thanks to finding a ton of helpful youtube videos to really get the best out of what my system could do. I am new to VR so I have had no prior experience. I did have to tweak some computer settings to get the best performance. Everyone’s computer is different unless you have the exact same set up as me. The graphics are amazing through the head set.. yes smaller sweet spot than what i would prefer but from what i have read compared to other units .. it’s one of the best. .. Side note .. I did receive the G2 V2.1 … some have said it’s not but they must have gotten a bad seller or just really bad luck.. I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and just got the unit about a week ago

    3.0 out of 5 stars Bueno con problemas ocultos
    Reviewed in Mexico on February 1, 2024
    Es una buena resolución y colores MUY nítidos... Pero necesitas una gou potente para esto, además de que el cable se quema si lo dejas conectado a la corriente, los controles tienen un diseño malo tecnológicamente hablando, si aprietas fuerte, el SENSOR se rompe porque hace contacto directo... Deben investigar bien antes de comprarlo, pero si pueden lidiar, es muy recomendado

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade
    Reviewed in Canada on January 12, 2022
    I was happy to receive version 2 of the HP Reverb G2 in Canada. It's a nice upgrade from the CV1 Oculus for the money. The only lame things are that you will need to invest in some 1.5v rechargeable aa battery pack because the controllers use 2 each and the clip the holds the cable to the back of the headset pops out pretty often. Nothing game-breaking so yeah, I am happy with the product.

    1.0 out of 5 stars UK User No UK Power Cable
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 14, 2022
    Even though I order this from Amazon UK it shipped from HP in the USA. It arrived and I cannot connect it up because it has no UK power lead. This is disappointing considering the high cost of this item.

    When I do manage to buy a power lead I will review the set properly.

    The visor seems a little small for my head(I 'm Asian)
    Headset was good and easy to setup.
    Played DCS & MSFS. Yes, this is what I wanted when purchasing this headset.
    Delivery as earlier than expected (Thumb Up)
