In our HTC Vive Pro 2 review and our Vive Flow review, we found that we liked the headsets on offer a lot. Both offer different things so the deals highlighted above will be suitable for different needs from a VR experience.
The HTC Vive Pro 2 is very much designed with high-end visuals and an awe-inspiring gaming experience in mind. In fact, in our review, we praised the 5K resolution, the 120Hz super fast refresh rate, the wide 120-degree field of view and the audio quality. As it’s compatible with Viveport and Steam VR, the library of games available is extensive and one of the negatives we found with it was its price, so saving $200 here is more than welcome. To maximize your experience, you will want controllers and a base station, which are sold separately.
If you’re looking for a VR experience that doesn’t revolve around gaming, you might want to consider the HTC Vive Flow. It doesn’t have the same 5k resolution (it boasts 1600×1600 per eye resolution) or the same refresh rate (75Hz) as the Pro 2. But it doesn’t need those specs and it comes in at a lower price. It also doesn’t need controllers or a base station as you can control it from your Android smartphone. at $299, it’s a great entry option into the world of virtual reality.
Key features: The Vive Pro 2 boasts 5k resolution, a 120-degree field of view, a 120Hz refresh rate and it’s compatible with Viveport and Steam VR. The Vive Flow is portable and features a 1600×1600 per eye resolution, a 75Hz refresh rate and a 100-degree field of view. It also can be controlled with an Android phone, so no need for a controller.
Price history: Before today’s deal, the MSRP for these two sets is $699 and $499, respectively, without any extras or bundles.
Reviews consensus: The HTC Vive Pro 2 is the choice at this price point, or at any reasonable price point, if visuals are everything to you. The Flow may look a little odd and it might not offer specs as high as the Pro 2, but it is considerably cheaper and portable and can be controlled with your Android smartphone.
