BallsOFire Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I am about to purchase a Samsung Odessey+, but the main difference between this WMR headset and the previous version is that this one has some kind of "anti screen door" display tech that makes everything a little softer/blurrier. I'm afraid it might mask aircraft at long range like when they are single pixels. Has anyone had experience with the Odessey+ vs the earlier Odessey? I have to stick with the Odessey because my IPD is 71, the Acer WMR headset I bought won't work for me. Anyone want an Acer cheap? lol Thanks.

Quekel Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I've got the O+ for over a year now, I like it. But if you got the money go for the HP Reverb or try to save for it a little longer ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thick8 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I have both. The O is a narrower fit. My hat size is 7-3/8. I made a larger face pad to better fit my head and move the lenses closer to my face allowing a larger FOV. There are face pads you can buy but I can’t comment on their comfort or practicality. The O+ is a wider fit but I found the headband was on the tight side. It also had a hard ridge that dig into my skull. The face pad also had a hard plastic piece in it that dug into my brow ridge. Both were unbearably painful to the point I was going to return it after trying it a couple of days. I opted to mod the headset a little bit. Fixed both concerns and can wear the headset for hours at a time without even getting red marks on my face. I have read that there are aftermarket face pads for the O+ as well. The screens are equally bright with vibrant colors and black blacks. I’ve tried LCD screens but OLED to LCD is like VR to pancake. The O has some screen door where the O+ has no screen door but is “softer” in appearance. Kind of like in old movies when they would use gauze over the lens to make the female lead look softer and prettier. Spotting in both is about the same. I think I remember the O+ being better though. I’ll check tomorrow when I’m at my rig. Hope this helps.

Strikeeagle345 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 O+ is much better due to not having any screen door effect.

Thick8 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The O+ is much better. It had been a while since I used the O but man what a step up from the O the O+ is. After 5 minutes with the O I had to unplug it and plug back in the O+.

speed-of-heat Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Either is a compromise, the O has better sharpness, the O+ has no screen door, I found them uncomfortable to wear, even with the aftermarket vrcover, I found it pressed to heavy on my brow and eyes, and had to add extra foam core above the eye pieces. YMMV.

BallsOFire Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks everyone for the feedback. I went for the Odyssey+. Found one on Ebay for $250 including shipping. I can't wait to get a headset that I can actually use with both eyes, lol! Now the waiting begins.
