RGB sub-pixel array eliminates screen-door effect, Wider FOV than comparable headsets, Excellent audio quality, Customizable, Very soft cushion, Sturdy construction,
Very heavy, Less comfortable than the HTC Vive Pro, Glued cushions, Expensive, Our headset crashed
The Valve Index offers excellent visuals, best-in-class tracking and top-quality build, and the Index controllers are unquestionably the best solution for interacting with virtual worlds...
130 degree FOV is the highest we've seen on a mass-market headset, Valve's base stations provide rock solid tracking, Cabling is less intrusive than previous Vive models
