You'll need to place them near power sockets too, as each satellite needs plugging in, and you'll need an extra socket for the headset breakout box too. They come with wall mounting brackets, which is probably the best solution.
Setup is still a bit of a pain, and requires mounting the satellites in a way so that they're not bouncing around in response to your own virtual shenanigans. That full-kit costs a surprisingly pricey $1,399 (£1,299), while the headset on its own will set you back $799 (£719) The headset is available on its own as well, which is useful if you're upgrading from a first-generation setup. The full kit comprises the headset, two first-generation controllers, and a pair of Base Station 2.0 satellites. HTC has stuck with the satellite setup for this headset to ensure you get accurate controller tracking, which means you'll need plenty of plug sockets to get everything up and running. It's a less obvious upgrade in more cartoony titles, meaning you really need high-resolution textures and models to truly enjoy the benefits this headset brings.
In use, this makes for a notable uplift in clarity and sharpness, with the likes of Half-Life: Alyx (opens in new tab) being an even more incredible world to jump around in. That makes it one of the highest resolution mainstream headsets you can drop your money on and offers a significant edge over the Oculus Quest 2 (opens in new tab) as well, which settles for 3,664 x 1920. The big improvements for the Vive Pro 2 are all on the display front: with an increase in the supported refresh rate up to 120Hz, 120-degree field of view, and a serious bump in the display resolution up to 4,896 x 2,448 pixels.
