HTC VIVE Focus 3 Business Virtual Reality Headset

We purchases six headsets from 5 different sellers. Every single one says "Axon". These are headsets that were distributed to law enforcement for training and can only be used for that purpose. Any attempt to use them for anything else will essentially brick the headset and it will be reported as stolen automatically.If you receive one that says Axon, return it immediately.As far as the headsets go, the focus 3 is great for an enterprise environment. Not sure if you are going to get much better use out of it than a Quest for personal use, but for local multiplayer they are phenomenal. As long as you don't buy stolen ones.

I got the unit and it was missing the controller charging cable and one of the controllers was cracked. Most of the boxes were ripped but reasonably in tact. Given it is used I don't have an issue with that but the lenses look like they have seen some rough usage. If you are trying to buy used vr equipment I would not look here. On controller intermittently works.

the hand tracking wasn't very good to begin with, this doesn't help it much more - it also replaces the actual controllers which makes this product unusable for me

It turns on but I can’t pass the alert , not even to set the room scale or sign in , sad , user alert , I tried everything reset ,update ,still stuck on the user alert unfortunately

Finally, a truly MDM friendly enterprise class VR device. Kiosk mode works great, MDM is super easy and fully featured.

I thought it had to be the best VR headset in the market for 1400 USD.... but I was wrong, when I got it took three days and a couple of hours each day to get it working finally, there were no rays casting; coming out of the handles...Then finally, I got it working and started to play some games I have on Steam, like beat saber, etc. it was the worse, I used Wiffii and a USB cable, and there was no way to get the game synchronized, then I tried other games and the same problems.On my 4th day, I returned.I don't understand how can hardware so expensive it is not better than the Oculus Quest 2, which I bought, and I was impressed from the beginning! everything works and there is no delay in playing any game, and what is the best news, it is only 300 USD, 1100 USD Dollars less.great Graphics.Some people don't like it because it is tied to Facebook, but who cares.... I just want to play.

For $1300 you expect something fully completed. Well this is not the case.I posses the rift , oculus , valve and hp2 and by far this is the worst headset in the market.Full of Bugs , glitches and Defect, Controllers disconnecting, wifi disconnecting, Failing to start giving me corrupt data . i have to factory reset it . After that it went for bad to worst. the streaming software that allow you to play with steamvr was completely useless . causing my pc to cash 20 times. After 2-3 hours of trying to fix the issue i just couldnt anymore. STAY AWAY THIS HEADSET IT still a prototype and shouldn't never been released.

March 2022 update: Increased the review to 4 stars because HTC made a MAJOR UPDATE and now visual quality is way higher. Honestly, it's so good now that it's the only headset I use for any games that involve standing up, I only use my Reverb G2 for sims now.In so many ways, the physical hardware of the Focus 3 screams quality, the displays have such high pixel density that I can barely make out the individual pixels and even then only when I'm standing still and really trying to notice them. It's a pleasant experience to wear, really well balanced and well shaped, I could wear it for hours. I like the controllers overall, they're a major improvement over my previous Reverb G2 controllers. The battery life is over two hours and it recharges quickly. The optics could be better but they're good enough most of the time.Now the bad part. It feels sometimes like the software and firmware is in beta. Especially if you use this for wirelessly running steamvr apps and games, the hardware is very bottlenecked by 100mbps whether wifi or cable mode. For comparison, the much lower resolution Quest 2 is 200 mbps wifi and 500 mbps via cable. And what worries me is that they haven't raised that ceiling in the over half a year that it's been on the market.The Focus 3 is the first ever VR headset to utilize WIFI 6E but what's the point of that feature if the bandwidth is so low?Another example of the 'beta software experience' the microphone wasn't usable with steamvr apps until November 2021, 4-5 months after the Focus 3 came out. So, see what I mean? It's like a pattern where excellent hardware was put out and HTC will properly finish the software over the next... who knows how long.The Vive Focus 3 has the potential to be the best wireless VR headset on the market, even now I am really enjoying this headset, it's my only choice now in any game that is played 'standing up' and when HTC delivers the firmware/software to let it live up to its potential, I will be more than happy to come back and update my review, but as of February 2022, this is how things stand.
