The biggest issue with the headset right now(aside from the price) is the battery life. 2 hours needs to be extended to at least 4 I think.
The battery takes USB C and lets you use it indefinitely plugged in. We'll have to see the power draw but there effectively has to be the ability to use a third party battery pack with the official one.
The price is high but for what it is I think it's super aggressive honestly. I don't think you'd find anyone else bringing a dumb headset at that resolution and latency without passthrough or the fact that it's a computer for much under $2k.
(Definitely out of my budget, but I'm using it as motivation to get my shit together and finally start writing apps to sell and see if I can make enough to justify the price to myself.)
Has there been any confirmation on whether the USB-C port is exclusively for charging, or can you connect peripherals through it as well?
And while we’re at it, any idea how much storage it has?
We know very little yet, but there was mention that it can use Bluetooth accessories like a keyboard or a trackpad.
