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.
My most plugged in HMD at the moment. I really like the integration with windows 10. I like being able to have a desktop view and then opening other windows for Explorer. I can play music videos in one browser whilst working in another.

When Microsoft finally dumps WMR I kinda think that you will not be so happy, lol! Just kidding and I hope for your sakes this does not happen. At least you'll all still have a nice rtx2080ti to play with.

If the sims I fly were to provide native WMR support for the Reverb, I would be much more inclined to give one a try.
Steam VR works fine with WMR and Sims.

If that were to happen, it wouldn't be to dissimilar to the Oculus CV1 becoming a paper weight, just because your usb cable became faulty 😛
Techy111 said: The thing I find a tad annoying is when starting any sims with the Reverb and steam VR up and running, Oculus home starts !!! Ideas ?
Yeah got one of those mate and it only starts OH when I start one of my sims.
Hi I have exactly the same problem and stopping OVRservice in my task manager services tab doesn´t work because when I start the Sim it starts too, If I stop after sim running it shuts down the sim, and that link above about set the oculus-client as Adm does NOT work too, so annoying. Any new idea? Thanks!
