Best HTC Vive VR deals
HTC Vive Cosmos
Mid-range PC headset
Wired: Yes | Minimum specs: i5-4590 or FX 8350 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 / 4GB RAM / DisplayPort 1.2 / USB 3.0 | Resolution per eye: 1440 x 1700 | Refresh rate: 90Hz | Field of view: 110°
HTC replaced its initial 2016 range of VR headsets with the Cosmos, a device designed for mid-range PC use that won't delve into the $1,000+ world of enthusiast level performance. That means you're getting a strong set of specs here, capable of playing all the latest titles in excellent quality.
Don't get us wrong, you're still handing over a significant pile of change here, but the excellent performance and fairly low required specs make for an intriguing proposition. This headset is essentially the same as the Cosmos Elite bundle below, but you can choose whether to pick up the external tracking accessories later on or not.
HTC Vive Cosmos Elite
External tracking for your Cosmos headset
Wired: Yes | Minimum specs: i5-4590 or FX 8350 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 / 4GB RAM / DisplayPort 1.2 / USB 3.0 | Resolution per eye: 1440 x 1700 | Refresh rate: 90Hz | Field of view: 110°
The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite isn't exactly a different headset to the Cosmos above, it just adds tracking base stations of extra precision controllers for a boost in the fluidity of your experience. You're not adding any performance upgrades under the hood with this bundle, so if you think you'll likely pick up the extra tracking gear in the future it might be worth taking a look at these bundles and grabbing some free games in the process.
HTC Vive Pro
An older but premium VR headset
Screen: Dual AMOLED 3.5-inch diagonal | Resolution: 1440 x 1600 pixels per eye | Refresh rate: 90Hz | Field of view: 110 degrees | Connections: USB-C 3.0, DP 1.2, Bluetooth
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-in earphones help the Pro sound – and feel – as good as it makes games look.
It's also available in a starter kit, which comes with two controllers, two base stations, a link box, and all the necessary cables and accessories. Prices are listed below.
