It really isn't 'miles' ahead of the competition. If anything it is way behind. For example, look at Varjo: https://varjo.com/products/xr-4/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
The Varjo XR-4. This $4000 wired headset is general purpose PCXR. It has extremely high resolution and passthrough. It requires a powerful GPU to run it. Source: 5 months ago
Apple Vision Pro has a "PCVR" PC inside it - how much does say a Valve Index, plus all the accessories, PLUS the gaming PC required to drive it cost? I'd bet it's easily close to $3500. Varjo just released a new 4K HMD on Monday, which still needs a PC with something like a 4090GPU, and its pricing starts at $4000. Source: 5 months ago
Go to this site and check out a comparison of the HoloLens to a passthrough based AR experience. Scroll about halfway down the page to the car with the slider. The reason HoloLens hasn’t succeeded is AR (non-pass through) in its current form is terrible. Source: 11 months ago
Typical Apple price tag. I'll be very interested in seeing an in depth review on this headset. I work in VR development and have worked with most headsets including the £6,000 Varjo XR headset. Source: 11 months ago
(In most parts of the world). There is only one place to buy an index. And that's directly from steam. Everything else is a reseller. https://store.steampowered.com/valveindex. Source: 9 months ago
Which benefits do you gain from buying the Chinese Vive Pro or Pro 2 instead of the superior Valve Index? - asking since you already have a Quest 2 for PCVR. I was underwhelmed by the mediocre performance, short durability and abysmal support on my HTC Vive Pro. Source: about 1 year ago

Also, you could get a Valve Index, which has lower resolution screens than the above mentioned VR headsets, but it still has the best tracking and connectivity. In my opinion, this is still the best PCVR headset. Source: over 1 year ago
If new, I'd probably go with the Valve Index. you'll get the headset, two v2 base stations, and the Index controllers. This kit doesn't require any additional software, beyond SteamVR. You can add some Vive Trackers to the mix and get your full body tracking. Source: over 1 year ago
