The Vive XR Elite is a standalone VR headset that serves as a direct competitor to Meta’s Quest Pro in the battle for high-end gaming VR headsets.

At first glance, the Vive XR Elite looks a lot more compact and streamlined than other VR gaming headsets in the market. HTC achieved this look by placing the headset’s battery pack at the back of the device, allowing the front to resemble ordinary glasses instead of a bulky computer on your face.

Not only that, the Vive XR Elite’s battery pack is removable, which allows users to easily connect the headset to their PC or smartphone and/or hot-swap the battery pack for a new one.
