What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.2 for now.
Share: Reviews count 25% of the overall score.

What customers like about DPVR E3C

  • At 305 g it is easy to wear.
  • The 110 degree horizontal view is wide.
  • Spatial audio is built in.
  • The eye spacing can be adjusted for different faces.
  • A 90 Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth.
  • A single HDMI port makes a wired link simple.

What customers don't like about DPVR E3C

  • The 60 degree vertical view means you see less above and below.
  • The 1280 x 1440 pixels per eye give less sharp detail.
  • There are no microphones, so voice chat is not possible.
  • There is no Wi-Fi or wireless PC streaming, so a cable is needed.
  • There is no hand tracking, no touch controllers and no game controller.

Verdict

Light and simple, the DPVR E3C is a headset with a 110 degree view and a 90 Hz LCD. Its 1280 x 1440 pixels per eye are the main limit, and the vertical view is only 60 degrees. Weight is where it wins: at 305 g it sits easily on the head for longer sessions. It has spatial audio, an accelerometer and a compass, and the eye spacing can be adjusted. Hand tracking and touch controllers are missing, and there is no game controller in the box. It has one HDMI port and a USB 2.0 link, with no Wi-Fi or wireless PC streaming. There are no microphones, so it cannot be used for voice chat. It suits a shared setup, such as a training room, for someone who accepts a wired link.
