Review: Technically awesome, but it's heavy... - All of the technical specs are top shelf and works as advertised. I picked up this and the Valve Index, the Index does have it beat on field of view, but the Vive's display is noticeably better in color and clarity . The Vive controllers have amazing tracking, but they're heavy and starting to show their age and there is no comparison between them and the Index's controllers (you can use those on the Vive too). But honestly my only major issue is that it's stupid front heavy and your neck will be hurting after a few minutes of play. If you are younger or don't have ripped neck muscles like a body builder, you may want to look at the much lighter Mixed Reality or Oculus headsets. Review: A great headset and investment to save you money later on - So the htc vive cosmos elite. You are probably like me when I was buying this headset and wondering why would I buy this head if I can get a valve index for only $100 more? Well for one the whole point with the cosmos is customization. The way how the head set was built was for multiple attachments to be on it and face plates that can feel like your on a whole new head set. What I mean and what I think vibe is trying to do is make something you will never need to change out but instead just spend like $200 for a new face plate and boom it’s like you just bought a new head set. Plus let’s not forget this headset has a better refresh rate , better shipping , and it can be wireless all unlike the valve index. So in short words I would recommend getting this headset because it could save you money farther down the future. If you are switching from an oculus headset or a mixed reality head set I guarantee you will have a whole new experience. Now also this depends on your pc but that’s for every head set now. So there you have it that’s my honest opinion on the HTC VIVE COSMOS ELITE ## Features - Lighthouse tracking - base station 1.0 provides up to 160 sq.

A converter drop DP to HDMI might work for video. Will it run on a laptop from 2005 running windows XP? No. Will it run on a new laptop that has all the required ports, Win10, and a compatible video chipset? Yes. Is a very stable internet connection required for the install? Yes. **Q: vive website says all tracking is inside the headset, so why would i need lighthouse devices that come with this?** A: Tracking is inside the headset fully for the Vive Cosmos. The Cosmos elite uses the lighthouse system to track. The Cosmos has some issues with the 100% headset tracking and will at times loose track of one of your controllers if it is behind you (like reaching over a shoulder to grab and item) or if one controller is in front of the other blocking the view of the controller from the cameras in the headset. The lighthouse system does not have that problem (I have never had an issue with losing track of a controller) and the lighthouse system offers some upgrade options that the standard Cosmos does not like additional sensors that can be used for full body tracking. **Q: Can i return the cosmos elite?** A: If its in the return window. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Technically awesome, but it's heavy... *by R***E on July 24, 2020* All of the technical specs are top shelf and works as advertised.

So there you have it that’s my honest opinion on the HTC VIVE COSMOS ELITE ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, fun and it works. Just be careful of IR source interference. *by A***A on July 3, 2020* This is my first VR set (that I’ve bought anyway). The visuals are really good. Very little blurring on the edges. I have found you have to adjust the headset to find the “sweet spot” where it’s all clear. When I first setup the base stations I was ready to throw this thing out a window. Tracking would not work. Period. After a lot of frustration, I realized that my Xbox connect emits an IR signal that completely interrupts the hive tracking. After turning off the connect, everything worked well. My only complaint is the VIVE port application which currently is bugged and you can’t even walk through it. Which is a shame cause it looks cool. I think VR has come a long way. Still some ways to go, but it’s definitely the future. ## Frequently Bought Together - HTC Vive Cosmos Elite Virtual Reality System - HTC Vive Tracker (3.0) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/184053805-htc-vive-cosmos-elite-virtual-reality-system](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/184053805-htc-vive-cosmos-elite-virtual-reality-system) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
