“Valve’s Index headset is the latest and greatest in PC-based VR”
8.5 – IGN

Fidelity First.

With fidelity as a priority, the Valve Index Headset delivers on all fronts.

Displays.

Custom displays feature high resolution visuals with accurate colors across a high frame rate.

Optics.

Featuring a custom double element design and canted in position, our lenses maximize field of view without sacrificing edge-to-edge clarity.

Audio.

Off-ear speakers deliver long-term comfort and auditory immersion.

Ergonomics.

Enjoy adjustable everything, including an interchangeable magnetic Face Gasket featuring anti-microbial fabric that's soft on the skin. Dial in head size, FOV, face angle, IPD, and speaker position to enjoy VR in total comfort.

Moddable.

A front expansion slot, plus cameras with available sample code for the computer vision community, our headset is ready for tinkerers and makers.
