What customers say about "Key Specs"

Lenovo Explorer Mixed Reality Headset and Controllers

My first time using VR technology with this product I get a great value and amazing experience.
Getting tangled up in the wire is not as big of an issue as I thought it would be. Its plenty long - although not detachable. I play with a laptop and I have never been in danger of pulling it off the table.
Motion tracking with the cameras is good - except when they go out of view.
The field of view is fairly small so you do feel like you're peering into something through goggles.
A large area around my eyes is blurry, so you have to be looking directly at things like text to see them properly.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Lenovo Explorer Mixed Reality Headset and Controllers

Nice and light and comfortable to wear, so happy so far, highly recommended!
Very light and comfortable. No more "scuba mask red lines on face". Headset weighs half the weight of VIVE and rest on your head rather than on your face.
Eye piece display quality is good. Controllers are nice and comfortable. Weight is ok doesn't bother me for playing long periods.
I really like this headset. Light-weight, easy setup, comfortable to wear even for a long time.
My biggest issues with this headset is the heat it puts on your face, and the weight. After about two hours I had sweat dripping from my cheeks, and the unit was definitely warm to the touch.

What customers say about "Features"

Lenovo Explorer Mixed Reality Headset and Controllers

Setup is easy and simple, Windows Mixed Reality works great wth SteamVR too. Highly recommended.
I really don't know what they guy who said hes replacing batteries after every two sessions is talking about. I've used it for weeks - dozens of hours - still on the first set of batteries. Its a high quality headset.
The ability to flip the headset up is excellent. It's comfortable and simple to use.
Tracking technology. There is no simpler way to put this, the inside out tracking technology this uses works fantastically!
Its a pretty crisp image but I know it could be better if I could fine tune it with a focus wheel.
