When you compare the Oculus Rift S to the HP Reverb G2 you can see which VR Headset is better. Let's take a look of the comparison, and see which model of VR Headset out ontop.

What VR Headset is better?

Comparing the two VR headsets, the Oculus Rift S and HP Reverb G2, it is clear that they both offer advantages in terms of features.

When considering field of view, the Oculus Rift S has a slightly wider range with 115° compared to 114° for the HP Reverb G2. This is a slight advantage for the Rift S.

In terms of resolution, however, the HP Reverb G2 has an advantage with its 2160 x 2160 px resolution compared to 2560 x 1440 px for the Oculus Rift S. This offers greater detail and more clarity when using either headset.

The minimum CPU requirements are relatively similar between both models; Intel i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or greater for the Oculus Rift S and Intel Core i5, i7 or Intel Xeon E3-1240 v5 equivalent or better for the HP Reverb G2. The graphics required for each model varies quite significantly with Nvidia GTX 1050Ti / AMD Radeon RX 470 or greater needed for the Oculus Rift S while Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700​ (or Professional Workstation: Nvidia Quadro P5200 or AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200​) is required by HP Reverb G2.

Both headsets support 360 tracking and room scale but differ in their refresh rates with 80 Hz on The Oculsus Rift S and 90 Hz on HP Reverb G2 - this means images appear smoother when using either device but particularly when using HP's offering due to its higher refresh rate.

Overall I found both headsets comfortable to wear over extended periods however if I had to choose one I would pick HP's offering due its superior resolution as well as faster refresh rate which adds more realism when using it along with providing users a sense of immersion like no other virtual reality headset can match currently!
