Developed in collaboration with Valve (Steam) and Microsoft, the HP Reverb G2 Virtual Reality Headset delivers an ultra-immersive VR experience for gaming, design, development and training. With high-end sound and image components, it is one of the most advanced Virtual Reality solutions on the market. With its ultra-comfortable design, enhanced tracking and controllers, and compatibility with most VR eco-systems on the market, it offers the best visual and spatial audio quality in its class. Simply put, it's the best.
Optimal VR experience
New Valve lenses provide sharper visual quality, exceptional image clarity with full RGB and 2 x 2160 LCD screens (one for each eye). With a 114 degree field of view, the HP Reverb G2 provides more peripheral detail. Architects can now see the texture or grain of leather for the first time, users can see and read text more clearly than ever before. Valve speakers deliver the highest quality VR audio built into the headset so users can enjoy a natural immersive experience.
Ultimate comfort
Small and lightweight, the Reverb G2 is almost invisible when worn.
Optical adjustments are simple and allow the user to adjust the width of the lenses to their eyes for optimal comfort regardless of facial structure.
The face mask is adaptable to all faces (the cushion size has been increased so that the weight is distributed more evenly for ultimate comfort; also incorporating a flex to the face mask for a custom fit).
The speakers are easily positioned 10mm from the ear for perfect comfort and freedom of movement.
Improved tracking
Improved tracking is made possible by 4 cameras (previously 2). 90% of possible arm movements (previously 65%) can be tracked. The integrated cameras offer 6 degrees of freedom without the need for external sensors or additional accessories. The integrated Bluetooth connection to the helmet allows for better tracking of controller performance, longer battery life and easier operation. For the controllers (included depending on the model), a new button layout matches industry standards for better application and game compatibility.
SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality compatible
The HP Reverb G2 is compatible with the SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality virtual reality ecosystems. With the SteamVR application, the Internet's most extensive library of VR content is now at your fingertips. With WinMR support, the headset is ready to use with the latest versions of Windows, allowing for quick, easy, and enhanced setup.

Unsurpassed picture quality, the interpixel space (grid) is not visible. After hours of gaming, the eyes do not get tired.
Instead of the usual directional speaker effects, the sound is very pleasant, while listening to what is going on around you, you can
Long headphone cord.
Good fit of the headset, quickly reconfigured for one person

All good and ok after cable replacement
I received the HP reverb g2 headphones and the 2 controllers. I have to say that I am very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. After contacting ldlc who told me how to proceed, I contacted HP who replaced the cable and sent it to my home in 3 days. Now everything is ok and this headset is really excellent and much better than my pimax 4K.
I am delighted

Attention it is the V1
When the headset works, it's impressive, but like all users with an AMD, this headset (V1) freezes for a few (long) seconds every 3 minutes. So unusable for real gaming. I'm waiting to see the reaction of LDLC for its replacement.

The VR headset for simulations!
First of all, the order was received on time, as always. The LDLC service is always very good since all these years!
The packaging is very good, the components are all in protective covers in which I put them back when I don't use them. Installation is super easy, connections are simple, USB 3.x port essential.
The headset itself is super light, adjusts very easily with the straps. Good comfort when worn, even with glasses in my case. The ability to adjust the distance between the eyes at the optics is an added bonus.
Originally ordered to play on MSFS2020, I was bluffed by this first VR experience! It changes everything in terms of perspective, depth, distances, I really feel like I'm in a cockpit. Never again flightsim without VR ^^. However, you need a (very) good muscular configuration to enjoy it. My 3070 Ti is heavily used here.
From a technical point of view, you have to take the time to install everything properly (Windows Mixed Reality, OpenXR, WMR for SteamVR) and find the right settings for each game between headset settings and in-game settings. Once everything is right, another world opens up, literally!
In short, an excellent headset, affordable compared to other big names in the field and without "external" constraints thanks to its integrated cameras that do not require additional detection devices. The visual quality is amazing and the comfort once worn is very good.
If you are a fan of aerial simulation, go for it!

Great clarity for simulation
The HP Reverb G2 is I think THE ideal VR headset for air simulation fans at the moment. The first time I used it on the DCS simulator, it was a real slap in the face: you see everything in 1/1 scale, the wings of my F/A 18C look standard, you really feel like you're sitting in the cockpit of a 29 million dollars plane... ! The 3D effect of the cockpit is hard to describe, you have to see it to believe it, the textures of the cockpit look photorealistic, nothing like the screen, it's really amazing. You can see the smallest scratches, fingerprints etc. and you can read everything as it is without having to zoom in. The Reverb G2 is the headset with one of the best clarity for the simulation. I also notice that you have a much better appreciation of distances from the cockpit. I also find it much easier to refuel in the air, and the thing I like is that there is absolutely no hitching where I am looking in the cockpit. The feeling with the mouse is immediate and intuitive, it moves as you imagine it, no need to get used to it.However, it is necessary to start with small sessions because the brain has to get used to the movements of the head in relation to the body in virtual space.you should not start with a 3 hour session on DCS doing mach 2 loops at the risk of getting airsick! It's better to start with a small reconnaissance flight to get used to it gradually. The first time you have a dizzy feeling when you make a violent break and a rapid descent in a dive! A bit like a roller coaster! In short, this helmet will certainly satisfy you if you are like me a fan of aerial simulation, it is the ultimate step for immersion.

Good but ...
The headphones are fine, the picture is impeccable, but after two weeks they are no longer detectable on the USB C port of the CM on my computer (as well as that of a friend who has an index valve) and on a PCI express card. The cable is broken. For this price you would expect a better quality product.

Excellent VR headset
Hello everyone, The headset is excellent, unfortunately it had to be sent back to the SAV for a problem of play on the right earpiece (SAV LDLC very professional) but on the tests that I was able to make on games like HL Alyx or ESPECIALLY on simulation like X-plane 11 or MSFS2020, I am really bluff! The quality is there. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the Rift S or not, but I'm sure it's a good idea to use the Rift S. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the Rift S or not, but it's a good idea to use the Rift S. I've moved from the Rift S to this headset with pleasure even if I have to wait impatiently for the new one in February.

Very good quality VR headset, but not easy to use when you are a novice.
It is a very good quality VR headset, comfortable for long gaming sessions. The controllers are very practical as there is a "torch" function that allows you to see the environment from home when you have the headset on. I did have some difficulties with the installation and would have liked to have a more detailed guide. Otherwise, the adjustments are relatively well explained and the handling is rather easy. As far as wearing the helmet is concerned, spectacle wearers may have a hard time, but it is possible to adjust the straps with precision.
