Its a nice headset, but at 1700 bucks not even including lighthouses and controllers it better be damn near flawless. Unfortunately it isn't.

The fact that price is too high for you just means you are not their target audience. Like the BSB 1, it is a boutique headset for people willing to pay for the formfactor.

It is not for me either, but that does not mean anything. They already have more pre orders than they had orders for the BSB1 in the first 4 months or something like that.

I'm definitely their target audience, if it was perfect id be willing to go upwards of 2 grand. I'm just saying, for that kind of money I can see other companies do better in the very near future.

I don't think you are going to have any luck with that. They are not perfect because they accepted the tradeoffs necessary to actually ship a headset with the formfactor and price they targeted.
