Reviews of HTC Vive
Reading customer reviews will of course be a big part of your decision on whether to buy HTC Vive or another alternative. We’d advise reading reviews from trusted sources like ao.com or Currys, for the obvious reason that you know the people adding the reviews are verified buyers. Likewise we also suggest only buying from trusted online sources too, chances are, if you’ve found a deal that seems too good to be true, it probably is. Having a quick reference score/rating is also really useful as a benchmark to deciding between two products, we provide a score out of 10 for our reviews based on customer feedback from Currys. HTC Vive scored an incredible 9.2 out of 10, thanks to the feedback from 535 customer reviews. You can read these by clicking the “Read Full Review” button that’s hovering on the bottom of your screen now.

As you can imagine, there’s absolutely loads of choice when it comes to buying Virtual Reality. In fact there’s 11 products available in the Virtual Reality category at Currys. There are also 1 products available from HTC. And 1 items from HTC in the Virtual Reality category. So it’s not surprising that many people feel overwhelmed by choice, our advice is to not get too bogged down in comparing every product out there. Instead choose a brand, style, budget and pick some key features that you consider to be a ‘must’ as that will really help you to filter down the amount of choice available.
