Thanks for the review Rory! We're always happy to see feedback and open to suggestion. In response to the issues you've raised in your video, we have definitive solutions in place. In the next month, we'll be adding the following items to our packaging:
1 Silicone lens ring (protect and avoid glasses contact lens)
2 In-ear headphones (though we still recommend gamers use their own favorite models)
3 Clips (to attach to clothing, easing the weight of the audio box)
Additionally, we're planning to introduce new magnetic face liner accessories to accommodate different user needs.
For customers who have already purchased our product, you can request these accessories for free through your original purchase channel. We will announce the start date for accessory requests through our official channels, so please keep an eye on our social media accounts. Many thanks!😉
Thank you for this response. I just recently purchased your product on Amazon and after watching some other reviews I became sceptical. The mic and speakers aren't an issue for me. Adding in magnetic face rings would be nice but I'm just hoping that the heat produced while in use doesn't become an issue.
The DPVR E4 is the best damn VR Headset on the market. I'm happy I bought it and I have the other majors headsets gathering dust.
Can you guys find a spot in the headset we can plug headphones that have a mic in please?
You really should make an E5 with better cooling, better audio, a less flimsy faceplate, better glasses support, and hardware IPD adjustment. I'm buying this headset soon!
@@gmdking yeah that’s a major problem with the E4 is there’s no IPD adjustment
Don't usually get this level of production quality in smaller channels, nice work. New sub!
Great video! Good explanation and motivation for my next pc related purchase
1:46 - I just watched another review by a popular CZcamsr, and he LOVED the face gasket. Said it was super comfortable and blocked ALL of the light better than most HMD's. They also advertise this as having a 116 degree FOV.
VR facial interfaces and FOV are very dependent on a person's face shape, long thin faces will be prone to light leakage from the sides more than someone with a more rounded face. FOV wise, people with they eyes recessed into the face will have lower FOV than someone with their eyes sticking out more, the closer you get your eyes to the lenses sweet spot, the bigger the FOV and clarity gets. VR is NOT a one size fits all and most of the time each headset has to be modded (different facial interface, over the head support straps, counter weights at the back, etc) depending on a person's facial attributes to make the HMD comfortable and to get the most from it visually and for a better audio solution (crappy built into the strap speakers).
It sorta makes me think of if the rift S and the quest 2 came together for a similar pcvr headset. Its literally a mash up of a Q2 and RiftS
Nice review 👍
3:11
yes, that does damage them over time. I used to wear glasses with my Quest 2, and they occasionally rubbed the lenses, and after just a few weeks there were noticeable scratch marks. I was lucky enough to be able to get an RMA though because the screens had some annoying dead pixels anyways
if only it had manual ipd adjustment
I know this headsets not perfect due to the lack of audio quality and lense adjustment but I have a feeling this is the headset that might suit my needs. It's wired so no battery life to worry about, only needs steamvr alone to activate, has controllers that probably won't break fast like the index ones and they have batteries that can be swapped out. I was going to buy the bigscreen beyond but there's a few flaws to that headset due to the lenses being oleds being more likely to burn out and only convenient for the beyond are the index ones which break quickly and I'm in no position to rebuy $279 controllers every few months. So for right now I might actually buy this the DPVR E4 instead just as a replacement for my hp reverb g2 because in 2026 windows mixed reality may be completely bricked forever meaning I might never be able to use it again. And maybe later when I have a safer income to keep up with frequent expenses I'll buy the beyond. I personally hate how meta quest is mainly wired due to the battery dying fast and having to wait hours to recharge. I would probably prefer DPVR E4 over meta quest.
I looked into this headset till I read Software IPD Adjustment. No need to dive any deeper after that. lol Great review.
glasses weare are always an afterthought. most headset are designed to be used without glasses. its contacts or inserts for us. but inserts are only usefull if you dont have high prescription values. i have -7, this makes the glas on the inserts really thick. combined with the added hight of the adapter frame, this lead big comfort problems. on my index, even on maximum eye relief setting, my eyebrows are colliding the the glas of the insert, leading to a pressure point and a sweat spot due to the contact. telling the manufactorer about it, they only said: "high values and unlucky anatomy can lead to that result, nothing we can do" after asking about costum made lenses with cutouts or something they just replied "no way of doing costums design for user, would requier different machines and the market for selling lenses like this, is to smal to have profit, 90% of all sales, are below -5,5dpt.." so ye, thanks for nothing but adding salt to the wound. this wouldnt be a problem, if i could just wear contacts.. but astigmatism of -2,5 and red-bloodshot eyes even after 15 minutes of wearing them, rule that out
04:33 IF I were to get this... thankfully I already have a solution! I have 2 clothes-line pully wheels mounted above head for my Reverb G2 cable so it hangs above and not down my spine. Came can be done for the DPVR E4 cable I would think.
Steam vr render Res at 100%?
why is everyone comparing this thing against a Quest 2? I think that is like comparing a Car with a Motorbike. It's a PCVR Headset, right? An d even if the guys from HP stop to produce the G2 it still is on the market... i would loveto see that comparison
Good vid, thanks.
i can't understand how you don't see the difference between native and compression
🔥I'm too poor for any of this stuff 🤢
Me too 😅
The biggest problem I have with the Quest 2/3, is that I need a Facebook account to use it. This is a deal breaker for me. I don't use social media, and I refuse to let my investment be disabled if I am accused of wrongthink.
bro why are people so whiny about this vr headset . haha xD
There really is no point to this headset existing if the image is practically the same as the Quest 2.
Something very wrong if he can't tell the difference between compressed and DP.
@@virtuallyreal You don't own this headset. He does.
@@dtz1000 I know what display port looks like on the exact same panel.
Something is not setup correctly if it doesn't immediately look better than a quest 2, when they are available in UK I'll buy an judge for myself
My guess is the steam VR render resolution is incredibly low, it wasn't shown in the video
@@dtz1000 I own it, and I can tell you this guy is biased. The silicone is not mean tto be taken noff, so why would you take it off, its much softer on your face than the Oculus and other headsets.
Budget friendly?I don't think so.Weight of device is 280g.,you made a mistake.
That's the weight excluding the headstrap. I weighed it myself with the headstrap and that's the weight you see in the video, cheers.

@@VRcompare 😁
Is the quality of many advance techs that is built inside not how big or how heavy it is
You clearly know, nothing of VR, you could’ve mentioned the oculus rift CV1 or the htc vive they are very cheap now and still work perfectly I only payed 90 dollars for my cv1 and 150 for htc vive and there Windows mixed reality headsets are 100 dollars
Windows Mixed Reality Headsets are gonna get bricked in 2026 dude
What a bad review.
1:12 complaining about box being hard to open, really?
2:13 Valid criticism of the material but crying so much about removing it... How often do you remove the material? 3 times a day??
6:54 Nice comparison, if a bit illegible.
8:00 I don't believe you can't see a difference, I've returned my pico 4 and went back to wmr dell visor because 17Gbps on hdmi is incomparable to 0.3Gbps on 6e wifi 1 meter next to the headset, adding latency and compression artifacts. It's very much immersion breaking, and it's a reason why every standalone VR headset is so cheap compared to tethered ones.
Please make better reviews.
