Background
The HTC Vive Pro 2 is a VR headset that improves on the 2018 Vive Pro. The most notable improvements over the previous generation include a 5K display, LCD screens, 120° field of view, and 120Hz refresh rate. The Vive Pro 2 headset costs $799 USD.
Like previous models, this headset has adjustable headphones, integrated dual microphones, as well as Bluetooth and USB-C connections. This headset is also backwards-compatible with Vive Base Station 1.0, SteamVR Base Station 2.0, and the original Vive controllers.
The Vive Pro 2 is also sold as a kit containing the headset, left and right controllers, and two Base Station 2.0 units, for $1,399 USD.
Identification
Like the Vive Pro and the Vive Pro Eye, the Pro 2 has dual front-facing cameras, indentations around the edges of the headset, and the word VIVE printed between the cameras and on the plastic arms. However, the Pro 2 is the only Vive Pro headset that is primarily black with blue accents, whereas the others are mostly blue.
