Is the Index worth it over the Rift S?

Post by albert90 »

Hey everyone,

I've been debating for a while whether upgrading to the Index from the Oculus Rift S is worthwhile. I am largely aware of the major differences between the two (there's a useful comparison chart here, if you scroll down), but what I'm not fully sure of is whether it's worthwhile paying such a substantially higher price for all those added goodies and higher specs.

Can anyone who has experience with the Index please get back to me on this? I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. And I do apologize if I don't come across as very well-versed.

Thanks!

The Reverb G2 is the clearest/cheapest headset on the market - especially the V2. Index is old - why specifically that headset?

I suppose the brand recognition is what drove me to the Valve Index but I'm open to other options!
