Review: Great Product - Works very well with HTC vive, took a while to set up but now it works like a charm. Built in headphones and microphone makes things much more convenient. Only problem we are having is setting up our trackers along with it. Review: A victim of its own design - Mediocre. That describes the HMD in one word. Long Version: The HMD is actually pretty good but has serious design flaws. The lenses are actually decently clear, the screen has great color with no pixel gap problems, overall visual clarity is passable - as long as you press the HMD into your face. The problem arises with the HINGE. The Hinge design was the worst possible thing that could have happened to the cosmos (elite). Once I stop pressing the HMD onto my face, the hinge comes into play. It loosens the HMD, causes it to rock upwards when tightened, and is not comfortable at all. When the HMD rocks upward, the lenses become unclear and the usable FOV reduces somewhat. Tightening the mount only makes it insufferable and makes the HMD rock even more upward - becoming more blurry and unclear. If HTC just gave the Cosmos Elite a side mount instead of a top-hinge mount all of this could be avoided. I guess you could mod your own solution. Besides the mount problems, the built-in audio is passable. Index is better. Doesn't beat a true DAC-AMP setup of course. Still beats the Quest 2 and Pimax. Microphone didn't work at all then suddenly worked for a single day, which apparently sounded really bad but not as bad as the Rift and Rift S. Elite tracking is nominal; I have 4 Basestation2.0 so no problem there. Cable is kinda sticky and pretty heavy. At no point did I look through the cameras so I can't comment on those. Decently comfy when not overly tightened. Strap adjustment knob really really hard to twist - it's smooth and has a lot of resistance unlike the PiMax and Index. All this adds up to be a bad overall product. Bad enough that during ViveCon 2021, HTC never once mentioned the Cosmos (Elite). They spoke about the 1st Vive and then Vive Pro extensively, followed by the Focus. Cosmos was a flop. Also side note, the Cosmos Elite requires the HTC software and drivers to be installed. I initially plugged it in without any software and it connects to SteamVR but fails to wake up. Turns out a complete software installation with driver initialization has to occur first, then some of the HTC software can be uninstalled. ## Features - Crystal-clear graphics - see the virtual world through a 2880 x 1700 combined Pixel resolution.

Built in headphones and microphone makes things much more convenient. Only problem we are having is setting up our trackers along with it. ### ⭐⭐ A victim of its own design *by X***0 on May 26, 2021* Mediocre. That describes the HMD in one word. Long Version: The HMD is actually pretty good but has serious design flaws. The lenses are actually decently clear, the screen has great color with no pixel gap problems, overall visual clarity is passable - as long as you press the HMD into your face. The problem arises with the HINGE. The Hinge design was the worst possible thing that could have happened to the cosmos (elite). Once I stop pressing the HMD onto my face, the hinge comes into play.

Decently comfy when not overly tightened. Strap adjustment knob really really hard to twist - it's smooth and has a lot of resistance unlike the PiMax and Index. All this adds up to be a bad overall product. Bad enough that during ViveCon 2021, HTC never once mentioned the Cosmos (Elite). They spoke about the 1st Vive and then Vive Pro extensively, followed by the Focus. Cosmos was a flop. Also side note, the Cosmos Elite requires the HTC software and drivers to be installed. I initially plugged it in without any software and it connects to SteamVR but fails to wake up. Turns out a complete software installation with driver initialization has to occur first, then some of the HTC software can be uninstalled. ### ⭐ Not for active gamers *by N***M on June 17, 2020* As a display device, the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite works pretty well. If your only intention is to play sedentary games in VR, the kind where you (the you in real life) sit still and don't move, you might be satisfied with this headset. But if you're the type of person who likes to play games that require you to move around, such as room-scale games and fitness games, DON'T BUY THIS. Even if you plan to play games where you sit in a chair but occasionally have to move your head from side-to-side, DON'T BUY THIS. It won't stay in one place. You will constantly be fiddling with the tightness knob trying to keep the fit snug and secure. On top of all this, one of the most promoted features of this headset, the flip-up visor, only compounds the problem. In theory being able to flip up the visor so you can quickly see the real world around you when needed would be a great idea, but when you do the headband loses all tension and you have to go through the annoying process of trying to tighten it once more. In short, quickly flipping the visor up is easy, but quickly flipping the visor back down is impossible, which makes the feature useless. As an owner of the original Vive, it's faster and easier to remove and replace that headset than to use the flip-up visor and resume gaming on this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - HTC Vive Cosmos Elite VR Headset, Black, 2880 x 1700 Resolution, Steam VR Compatible, Windows OS - HTC Vive Tracker 3.0, One size - Rebuff Reality Track Belt with 2 Track Straps VR Vive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/202653260-htc-america-vive-cosmos-elite-headset-only](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/202653260-htc-america-vive-cosmos-elite-headset-only) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
