I certainly wouldn't buy the cosmos new, but find a good one on ebay like I did
and you'll have a very decent headset. Rift S (ebay again) for 200-250€ also
worth considering.
But new... Yeah I'd agree with both Colin and Moose on the Quest 2. This is
coming from someone who's never tried the G2, having said that.

Hi Bo,
I think it’s really down to what’s out there, available and cost?
The main contenders are:
Valve Index
Quest 2
Pimax 8KX
G2
Cosmos
Valve Index you cannot get hold of for love of money and it’s expensive for the
whole system €1000. Pimax sound dodgy of late and expensive €1000+, G2 with
your experience of the G1 sounds like a no go. Cosmos not exactly cheap for the
full set up. Quest 2 cheap and good(I do think it is good btw) for a stand in
until the next Index 2 or Vive 2(rumoured soon, how soon?) come along. Also of
course the downer is FB :(.
As a side note I have been trying to get DCS to run smooth of late, cannot get
it to do so with the Index, the Quest 2 runs a lot better at a higher
resolution than the index can. Also if you play any other PC-VR games Quest 2
ftw wireless;).
I know I am promoting the Quest 2 a bit on the last paragraph, but my first
reasoning above tells the story at the moment, unless you know of any other
headsets available?
Hope that helps
Colin

I have had my reverb Pro G1 for 14 months and so far I have got 4 replacement
headsets and just recieved a cable replacement which did not solve my present
problem.
So I’m about to ask for my 5th headset replacement. I must say that I have lost
my patience with this product and I’m thinking on claiming a refund and try out
another brand. According to forums the HP Reverb G2 headset do have many of
the same issues as the G1 so I’m not to keen on selecting a G2.
What do you guys recommend?
Best Regards
Bo
