The headset display often dies (goes black) when in use for 30 minutes. The headset display often has rectangular flickers of purple static especially when moving the head due to faulty wiring. The headset has graphical bugs (washed out, ghost images) which persist for hours if the link box is turned off with the steam VR software running. Often, the headset display does not turn on when launching software (remains black). Shutting down the VR software usually bricks my machine, requiring a hard power cycle reboot (holding the power switch).
Usually, it takes about 30 minutes of power cycling, unplugging and replacing cables, and blood sacrifices to chtulu before vr finally works.
The vive software often checks for updates, installs updates, but then is not updated to the new version when restarted. No clue what that's about, either, just shitty software.
The image quality is not noticably better than the regular vive.
These problems are absolutely unacceptable at this price point. The customer service was disastrous, knowingly misleading me to save the company a warranty repair.
For my next VR headset -- anything but HTC.
Do not buy, just buy a cheap headset from a company not desperate to rip you off.
Screen door effect is almost entirely non-existent.
If you were born with some magical ability to see things with amazing clarity, or essentially have superhuman 20/20, you may be able to see screen door. But for the most part, I could not see it. It's basically non-existent to me. The picture quality is similar to that of a 2K gaming monitor, but a little better as each eye is 2448x2448. Because the screens use liquid crystal displays, or LCD, blacks aren't as good as they would appear on my Oculus Rift CV1; The CV1 uses AMOLED displays, which display accurate colors with great blacks. On the Vive Pro 2, however, blacks are washed out. But bright colors remain prevalent. There is also a quirk on the screens. If you were to point the headset straight and move your eyes only, other parts of the screen becomes blurry and only detail within your paracentral and near-peripheral vision are the main selling points of this headset.
I do enjoy other features of the headset, such as being able to move the front of the headset forwards or backwards to either let more air circulate within the face area (as there are vents at the bottom), or fit prescription glasses inside. I would be careful of the Fresnel lenses, though. There is also a button at the side that can act as a temporary controller whenever your VR controllers die and don't feel like taking it off. Speaking of taking off the headset, the headset strap does not move forwards or backwards unless you're turning the knob at the back. It does a little bit because of foam padding, but it's not much. The strap is very bulky and its stock foam padding are horrendous. I would advise buying new foam replacements from VR Cover for both the front face cover and strap paddings, which would be an extra $60.
The headset does come with two cameras at the front, similar to the Valve Index headset where it could used for developing purposes. But also as a pass-through camera whenever you need to see what's outside your headset without having to take it off. There are rubber covers around the nose bridge area that blocks all light from entering into the face area. The vents I had mentioned earlier provide some air flow within that small space, so it's fine. The headset radiates lots of heat when in use. I use a program called Vive Console, which is necessary to power on the Vive Pro 2 headset, that has settings for which display preset I'd want to choose. I chose Extreme, which boasts 4896x2448 @ 120 Hz. Not only the heat from my headset makes my face hot, but also my computer. Think of it as having two heaters for your room. That's not good.
Its headphones are removable. Its microphone is sub-par and sounds awful. The Valve Index and HP Reverb G2's microphones are far more superior in microphone quality. The headset strap can be removed as well, but it's very difficult to find a different compatible strap for it, so modding would probably be best if you're fine with voiding warranty. It comes with a 12-month warranty.
Overall, the headset's main selling point are the screens. Its strap is pretty bulky and isn't ideal for someone who's comfortable in their bed or couch. Its microphone should ought to be changed out for a lapel or mod mic, and its headphones can be left on or changed out for a headphone or pair of earphones. Although it radiates lots of heat and its stock paddings are terrible, it has one of the most amazing screens I have seen. No screen door effect, but lacks black color depth and you could see most detail within the paracentral vision. If your computer can run this headset at 4896x2448 @ 120 Hz and you have an old headset that you still use to this day, such as the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, this headset is a worthy upgrade. If you wish to get a more comfortable headset with better overall features, the Valve Index is a better choice. Otherwise, if you're in it for the screens, get the Vive Pro 2.

I do recommend getting the smaller, breathable sponge mats to replace the sweat soaking native ones. They'll increase your horizontal and vertical field of view, while adding a more sanitary option. The headset does get fairly warm in graphics demanding games. You'll want to mod it with a small fan for air circulation, or have some form of fan blowing on you (which oddly adds to the immersion feel). However, the visual trade off is completely worth it.
If you have the extra money, get the Vive wireless connector with it, and 2 spare batteries. Should give you 6 hours of cable free fun.

Reviewed in Canada on December 18, 2021
Then I got full kit Pro 2 from Vive Canada. Same problem.
This time I did not consider to return without trying to fix it. And : fix was simple, disconnected cable on head side and reconnected. It did wor for that session. But when after session I unplaged head from pc and tried again Igot the same problem. Anyway to make it short seems problem is not a cable itself. Just the connection between headset and cable I think. When I did the same disconnect /reconnect dancing it did work again. Then after sesion I did not unplug headset from pc and next session did work again fine.
Coincidence? Maybe. I like vive pro2 and I recommend this product. Just letting you know what you may expect.
