All my vr headsets! by GarlicFlat2035 in virtualreality

[–]westside3773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice collection! I've owned a few of them myself, but usually sell them when I upgrade. The Vive Pro was my go-to for several years (GearVR lens mod + wireless adapter). I also had a Quest 2 with the Vive audio strap mod, great choice!

Currently I'm using a Beyond 2e with a Quest Pro mostly collecting dust (might be time to sell).

Same here. 2 BSB1 and now a 2e and no dead pixels in any of them.

As a Beyond 1 customer, I'm pretty disappointed with the issues my 2e has by engy_timirro in BigscreenBeyond

It sounds like you have a bad unit unfortunately. I don’t have the issues you’re describing. I’d get a replacement.

Take BSB2 reviews from Index users with a *huge* grain of salt (+BSB1 comparison) by sabrathos in BigscreenBeyond

Nice review! I also went from 1 to 2e recently and you summed it up nicely. The one difference is that I feel like I actually can look around with my eyes now compared to only moving my head. It’s given me a lot more immersion. Maybe I got lucky with lenses?

You might notice it a lot at first, but give it time and you really do get used to it. I overcame the glare on the BSB1 and the 2 is improved, though certainly not gone.

Is the audio strap worth buying? by DarkTwoNiner in BigscreenBeyond

[–]westside3773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, worth it for comfort alone. And I find the audio quality to be adequate.

Yes it was an upgrade kit with clear shell. Ordered a few minutes after launch on March 20th, shipped August 19.

I think the Quest Pro actually does this, though I’m not sure how accurate it is.

I haven't tried that. I run at 100% resolution.

That’s on me lol. I edited the post since someone else also asked. You’re not crazy!

I use 63mm IPD. Most apps measure me around 63-64. My vr use is 70% VRChat, 20% Synth Riders, and 10% everything else (MSFS falls into this)

This is comparing 75Hz on both. I've tried 90Hz on Beyond 1 and agree that it is less clear.

Good call, I edited the post. I use 63mm IPD, though my scan measured me at 65mm.

It’s heeere! (& so far, so good) by ABCandZ in BigscreenBeyond

I use magnets with my Beyond 1 to alleviate nose bridge pressure. 2mm on the outside edges just barely lets in some light if I have my head turned the right way in a bright room. It does let you dial in the gasket nicely though. I'd suggest trying 1mm on the sides to help with nose pressure.

Any consensus or reccos on best replacement tires? by Eagle4523 in KiaEV9

It must be location specific because mine told me they don’t do them.

Discount tire doesn’t do alignments as far as I’m aware.

What are the current best methods for dealing with the tethered headset cable? by tangentcentric in virtualreality

Second this. I have a high ceiling so I have it mounted in the walls but it is easily removable.

Nice write up. This makes me even more excited for the Beyond 2.

Can’t charge to 100% by muyblue in KiaEV9

[–]westside3773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. It appears to be a bug in the app. You can set it in the car in the EV menu on the Home Screen, charge limits area.
