One of my friends got one pretty early and used it in a voice chat with us. After about 5 minutes the microphone in discord broke and sounded like he was talking through a tin can telephone. Other than that, I think he enjoys it! He did mention that the battery life is only around 2 hours, which seems awfully low to me.
Good luck with your headset! I’m a little jealous of the foviated rendering…

I think 2 hours is a best case scenario. If you run more intensive stuff on it, I hear it can go as low as 1 hour. A battery pack to keep in the back pocket or a hip bag is pretty much a must-have accessory.

If I stream I can get ~2 hours on it. ~1.5hrs if I’m playing native. It charges very quickly through.
If I ever get to the point where I want to play more than 2 hours in a row, which doesn’t happen with a family and responsibilities, it’d be pretty easy to get a decent battery pack in the back pocket/beltpack and keep going comfortably.
Plugging it in while steated is super comfortable and you can play continuously on it that way.
