Constant headache and issues
The wireless is constantly losing connection. Playing a game and the whole vision goes black and a few seconds later I hear the computer ding stating it has lost connection. The Vive wireless app still says connected but SteamVR doesn't see it. I did not have this problem with the wired setup and as irritating as it is to have the tettered connection, I am going back to that. What a waste of money.

Works great. Makes moving my set up to other rooms...or outside...wayyyyy easier. Re-energized my love of VR. You do have to deal with the battery pack cable, but thats only attached to you not a pc. I use a ravpower 20000mah qc 3.0 in addition to the included brick. Ive spent 4 hours straight on that rav power and it wasnt dead. Included power cable is usb-a to usb-a fyi.

I was a little nervous that the adapter would be heavy and cumbersome when it arrived but it balanced nicely on the headset when installed. Lets talk about that though. The installation was not what I would call an "easy" task. It did have instruction to follow which was helpful but honestly attaching a $350.00 wireless adapter to a $700.00 headset (that you had to disassemble in the first place) was a little more involved than the product description let on. On top of that I don't feel like most average VR consumers are comfortable opening the guts of their PC's to install the card into the PCIE slot. The caveat to that last part is that it really wasn't difficult to find and insert but I know just enough about my computer to know where it was at already. THE ONE BIG DOWNSIDE to the adapter is by and large the BATTERY!!! It takes a very long time to fully charge even with a Q3 adaptive charging block and the battery runs out quickly. I understand why as it has to draw a very large amount of power to run the headset but after charging it for 10 hours I expected a bit more than 2-3 hours of play. I bought it to untangle myself when I'm using VR for flight simulators and the game is a very involved one that requires time which the battery is just lacking in. The last con I could give would be the price. I know you have to pay for quality but you can get an entirely new wireless headset that does not require a PC at all for $50.00 cheaper than what you would pay for JUST the wireless adapter from HTC. Your customers already showed loyalty when they shelled out for the also VERY expensive headset. I mean I feel like the 1 month free subscription to VIVEPORT that came with the adapter was really just a slap in the face. The headset was twice as expensive and it had a 6 month subscription.

NOW THE GOOD! The performance of the adapter is amazing. It has only lagged a handful of times (which I blame my PC for not the adapter). It has good range and using the VIVE wireless program fires up in about 30 seconds from the time the power comes on to when I can jump into a game. I don't mind paying for quality and the unit does as advertised but the price tag hurt and I can say if something happens to where I find myself needing another one I probably won't be willing to pay that much for it again.

Got this for my cosmos elite so I could finally finish my dream vr setup, wireless headset, index controllers, and 2.0 base stations. Setup was incredibly simple, it took me less than 20 minutes. The hardest part was getting the headset to connect to the computer, I just had to reinstall the software and press the power button a few times, then it finally connected. At first I was afraid having PCI-E gen 2.0 would be a problem, but it actually turned out to work perfectly fine with my MSI b450 tomahawk. While the page does list that AMD chipsets have issues, this is no longer the case. I have found that this issue was fixed a long time ago with driver updates yet for some reason they still haven't updated the page. As long as you have a capable CPU, I would 100% recommend the adapter, it completely changes the experience and makes your play-space feel much larger. If I were to list one problem though, it would be the battery life. The included battery only gets you up to 2 hours of playtime max, usually less. I play vr all day long, so this is kind of a big deal to me. You can purchase more batteries though, which completely solves the issue.

If you want to lose the tether to your PC, this is a way to do it. Unfortunately, it has some enormous drawbacks.

Setting aside the mildly annoying problem of the signal being blocked by literally any object between you and the receiver, the wireless module crashes seemingly at random every 5 to 30 minutes. This is the case with myself and 2 of my friends who also got it.

On top of that, the module that rests on top of your head gets dangerously hot to the point that you can actually burn yourself if you touch it. One friend wireless receiver managed to ignite and he now just keeps it on a shelf as a trophy of sorts since his was out of warranty at the time.

In my personal experience, the device is mostly frustrations and having to restart my headset every few minutes when it crashes, but it is nice to be able to not worry about a cable, I suppose.

Was pretty intimidated at the instructions as a non computer kinda person. However it was super easy to install. The step by step instructions on the website were pretty good. Can confirm this works for Vive Cosmos Elite system.

Only negative is the price. This is an insane price but when you have a 9 year old playing and twisting/breaking the cord from the original headset this is a must if you want them to enjoy the system.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice to be disconnected at the umbilical cord
Reviewed in Canada on May 20, 2022
Removing the umbilical cord and going wireless is awesome, smooth frame rates with 99.9% no stuttering and that 0.1% of a stutter is so small it’s hardly noticeable.

Now for the bad….battery life, it comes with 1 battery and it dies just under 2 hours of use and trying to find more batteries or figure out what batteries are compatible, good luck, the few I have found has a price tag of $150-$200/ battery.

Overall I definitely recommend but keep your sessions shorter or be prepared to plug the umbilical cord back in to finish your session.

Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2021
My HTC Vive Pro recently stopped working... it turns out the headset cable failed due to being spun around too much :(

I contacted HTC, but they wouldn't do anything.
I then looked at the cost of a new cable and it's around $100.
Since I know it'll fail like the 1st one did, I decided to get this wireless adapter and it's been amazing.

I no longer have to keep track of my rotations (using fpsVR).
I can just play and let the guardian system keep me from running into or punching walls or other objects in my room.

I've only had the wireless adapter overheat once and shutdown.
Other than that, it lasts around 2-3 hours of continuous play, which is plenty for me.

I've read online that you can use any battery bank that supports QuickCharge 3, but my battery bank doesn't seem to work.
So I just use the 1 official HTC batter that this set comes with.

This set comes with everything that you need to get your Vive Pro up-and-running.
Just be sure that you have 1 free PCI-E x1 slot available for the add-on card.

You will get the full kit, somes stuff you dont even need or want to use. Do not buy it if you have a laptop without thunderbolt though or just a laptop. Thats the reason I had to build a pc. Worth anyway, graphics are smooth and resolution is at its highest. The battery is the only heavy thing, I have a structure on which I strap myself to play so i attached it to it now I dont even feel the battery and no cable problems. Loves it
