HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset


nervousenergy

Recommended Posts

For anyone in Australia, The HP Australia website is now finally discussing the Reverb although it's currently out of stock on the website. Hopefully will not be too long. It's listed as $999 presumably for the consumer version as the term Pro is not used.

 

Interestingly, they state the following: "1 Year Limited Warranty (Next Day On-Site, with Hardware Support & Phone-in Assistance)" Well above any 90 day statutory warranty.

i7700k OC to 4.8GHz with Noctua NH-U14S (fan) with AORUS RTX2080ti 11GB Waterforce. 32GDDR, Warthog HOTAS and Saitek rudders. HP Reverb.

In Canada the Reverb is listed as "in stock" now on the HP Canada website. It says 1 to 2 weeks for delivery, so we'll see how long it takes, as I ordered mine yesterday.

 

 

Hopefully it is the "new gen", if it isn't, and I have any trouble with the cord/etc, it's going right back for a refund.

I keep checking the USA site and, so far, no dice. I don't trust ordering it from anyone else. Kinda weird that the CA site would say in-stock and ship in one to two weeks. Maybe their production isn't readily available yet. What a botched launch.

Same here I won't order from anywhere else and honestly I want to make sure I end up getting a refreshed model. HP hasn't even publicly communicated about a refreshed model to anyone except those that had the first batch who have been in contact with support.

I'm fairly confident that when the next batch comes out at HP it will be the refreshed model. With such a tumultuous launch, its wise if they take their time to fix it and release only when they have a decent number of new units to ship. If they reissue v1, they would only be making it worse.

When it does become available once again, how do we know if we will be ordering the updated version. I hope there is a way to determine that.

 

I'm reasonably convinced its already whats out. I don't think there were many complaints from the last batch that came out in the last few weeks.

I just talked to an HP Chat rep, and while they couldn't say specifically when the Reverb would restock, they did say they're confident it will be units without the issues experienced initially. They said those issues have been corrected or fixed. So, guess it is a matter of waiting for HP to restock. BLTShop had a tentative ETA set for their next restock as yesterday. Shows overdue now. I've been hoping HP would restock on or about the same date. HP rep said to keep checking the HP site daily for new stock.

I asked the HP Omen support guy for the Reverb what the latest status is on the Gen 2's last night by email but he is off on Friday's. Hopefully, I see a response on Monday. I suspect they will be testing the heck out of them to avoid a repeat of the Gen 1's. The last time I spoke to him on the phone (maybe a week and a half ago) he said they were close so hopefully that means they have been testing them. I suspect the release will be based on some big wig's approval and not any given date.

 

The last time I spoke to him they seemed well aware of the issues outside of the cable/connector including flickering after heating up, etc..

The reverb sell on shopblt with the connector clip for the cable is the Gen 2's ?

The clips were being shipped for the Gen 1's. The Shopblt orders delayed until later in August could be Gen 2's. Curious to see if they make those dates (8/19 and 8/23).

Hmmmmmm. What to do? I had to fill in at work last weekend so my new HP has yet to be test run, though I did open the package. There was no clip, and I'm sure it's Gen 1. I was going to test it out tomorrow.

 

 

BUT, I'm tempted to box it back up and ship it back! Even if it seems ok, How could I ever trust a gen 1?

 

 

I guess I could compare it to my 5K+ to see if it's even worth having a Reverb, but I'm pretty pissed at HP for shipping more Gen 1's out. I barely have the will to go through the setup, and dicking with it knowing it will soon be returned as I now only have 10 return days left.......

 

 

It's my fault for not cancelling my Amazon order, but I was sure HP would not ship out more unfixed HMD's

When did you buy yours? I keep wondering if BLTShop is getting v2 or more v1...this is a shot in the dark and it sucks. You shouldn't have to play Russian Roulette with these hmd's.

Reverb Type C connection is up and running.

 

 

With this card I can get the advantage of higher speed 3.1 and using the C port, a further 600ma of current supplied to reverb via a dedicated SATA cable straight from my PSU; over using the conventional port:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073NZZ6TG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Using this USB Type A to type C adapter, saving wear and tear on the reverb cable and seems to be a better fit both in the c port on the card and to the reverb cable:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MYPX7Y8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

And using this driver:

 

ASMedia USB 3.1 eXtensible Host Controller -1.10 (Microsoft).

 

Should all help stability, although had few problems recently.

I've had my Reverb form Shopblt for about 2 weeks this is my first VR headset. When I first installed I remember seeing a model number of VR1000.2 so I’m thinking it’s the new model and I have not had one problem with it no heat, flickering or blacking out. My biggest problem was figuring out how to use WMR.

I don’t think I’ll ever go back to triple monitors. With my system with everything set pretty much to High I’m getting 48 to 50 FPS flying about 250 feet thru Dubai with the F-18, MASS at 2 and SSAA at 2 and all I can say is WOW. As of now I’m a happy camper.

Did it have the clip with it for the connector?? I'm so ready to pull the trigger on this one.

No but I was having some tracking issues at odd times during a mission, and the odd group of black screens in the left eye, maybe four or five of them in a second as if reprojection was dropping frames. Quite rare though.

 

I originally bought the card when I was building my new rig with a view to using the C type connector for its higher power transfer and to relieve pressure from my motherboard USB ports; but had problems with finding a driver that WMR likes.

 

Just flown a one hour mission, the connection is rock solid and I have had no black screens.

Pretty much my experience too thus far with the ShopBlt headset I got though mine is the model V1000 but did come with the clip. Though something must have changed on my system in the last few days as DCS is crashing way more. Not sure if its related to the reverb though which ive had running for 2 weeks and had no issues for the first week. My initial guess is steam got updated and now voice attack wants to start in VR studio mode for some reason, so it may be related to that.

The model number inside the headset is VR1000. I saw the model number VR1000.2 the I first time installed WMR.

 

Yes it had the Clip shipped with it. As I said my Reverb has been flawless so far. I hope everyone has the same experience.

 

 

I'm going to due a reformat of C: drive and a new installation of Windows 10 next week and I'll try to see where the model number shows up. I due this about once a year has nothing to due the Reverb or DCS.
