The Vive XR Elite is a stylish, lightweight convertible headset with solid standalone and PCVR support. The 273g weight is impressive, but the premium price and smaller ecosystem hold it back from mainstream success.
Once the king, now showing its age. The Index is still loved for its 144Hz, Knuckles controllers, and Lighthouse tracking precision, but the 2019-era resolution and no standalone mode make it harder to recommend over newer options.
