Ok HP have finally started selling the Reverb again after the messy first release. I returned the 1st with issues and received my version 2 model yesterday. Setup is plug and play as you'd expect with a WMR. I did have an issue for an hour or so where I was stuck in 3dof but after tinkering I found the error (user) and was back in 6dof. The cable is still heavy and a tad cumbersome but due to a new included clip, the cable attachment will not come apart now.
Now for the good bits, the resolution ohhh the resolution!!! I am so glad I have my Reverb again for simming. Sod the controllers I don't use them. But in DCS FSX P3D and our Flyinside simulator, the clarity is what I've always wished and hoped for.
Yes I think it does need a 2080ti to get the full benefit of this headset but that's a personal opinion and yes it's a tad pricey but did I mention the resolution?
If you are into sit down experiences or simming then this is a must have HMD, it really does blow everything out of the water (until we hear about the cosmos)
I think the sound is on par with the CV1 through the Reverbs headphones but defo not as comfortable but they are bearable.
Good idea to start a 2nd release thread mate. Thanks.

As I said above mate I don't use the controllers but it's my opinion only re the sound, I don't have that good of hearing after 9 years in the forces so i could be way off 😄
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.
Had this weird dream where most boardies in here suddenly used HMDs from HTC, Valve and HP. Yeah, really weird, my mind goes crazy when I sleep 😄 o:)

I also have my CV1 in case someone angrily says to me "you don't belong here" o:) 😄
Actually I've paid more than 1K for my Oculus software - that's gotta count for something too.
And now to Lone Echo on the Reverb - I wonder if it's possible with the controllers? ... I guess some WMR dudes must have tried it...

No mate not thought of trying that but will tonight.
Go careful -I got a blank screen on my 2D monitor when I tried that with CV1 and Rift S when I had it. I had to do 5 cold reboots to get my 2D computer screen back after doing it.
