One thought on “HTC Vive Cosmos External Tracking Faceplate Review

  1. HTC must have a lot of business deals, right? Otherwise the Cosmos lineup makes even less sense now for consumers. The new high end option directly competes with the Index, where it loses in every respect from what I know. The regular Cosmos still doesn’t make sense because it’s the same price. The low end model might make sense? But if the halo strap is identical, most people should probably still get the Rift S as it’ll be more comfortable.

    What HTC should really do is drop the price on the Vive Pro headset by $100, and drop the bundle price by $100-200, which then makes it competitive with the Index.
