What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it sets a new standard for visual quality and for eye and hand tracking, with outstanding passthrough and impressive 3D and spatial video. All three criticise the very high price and a heavy, front-heavy design that tires over long sessions, and the tethered battery pack; PCMag found battery life short, and TechRadar met some first-version bugs.
