The HTC Vive Pro is the most technically impressive tethered VR headset we've tested, but it doesn't offer enough over the standard model to justify the steep increase in price.

HTC’s latest is the best VR headset on the market by some measure. But that greatness comes with some unknowns.

If you have both the financial and hardware resources for it, the HTC Vive Pro is a thing of beauty. It offers a higher resolution than the standard Vive and can take games from ‘good looking’ to ‘gorgeous’. Similarly, improvements to the weight distribution and the addition of the built-on earphones help the Pro sound - and feel – as good as it makes games look. But, all that said, when it doesn’t work as expected – or during the lengthy and problematic setup process – the Pro is a trial in troubleshooting skills.

If money is no object, the Vive Pro is absolutely the way to go for image quality and comfort. Its high-resolution display and improved lenses are a noticeable step forward in VR technology. But right now the resolution isn’t enough of a leap to justify the high cost of an upgrade for most VR gamers. This one’s best left to the professionals.

The HTC Vive Pro is, essentially, an iterative upgrade. It doesn’t radically transform the VR experience, but it does offer a series of solid, important improvements that make the product feel much more polished. The higher resolution display provides crisper visuals and makes text much easier to read, but when you consider the price of the headset and the fact that accessories aren’t included, not even the high resolution will be enough to tempt the majority of consumers.
