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.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about DPVR E3S

  • A 110° field of view gives a wide view of the scene.
  • At 394 g it is light on the head.
  • It works from -20 °C to 70 °C, so cold and hot rooms are no problem.
  • Eye spacing adjusts to fit different faces.
  • OpenXR support lets it work with standard VR software.
  • USB-C connects it to the computer.

What customers don't like about DPVR E3S

  • The 72 Hz refresh rate can look less smooth in fast scenes.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so a cable always runs to the computer.
  • There are no hand tracking or touch controllers, so your hands stay out of the game.
  • No game controller is included.
  • There are no speakers or 3.5 mm audio jack, so you need your own headphones.

Verdict

A 110° field of view is the main draw of the DPVR E3S, a wired headset with an LCD panel. At 394 g it sits lightly on the head, and soft foam keeps it comfortable through long sessions. The eye spacing can be adjusted to line up the picture for each face. It works from -20 °C to 70 °C, so a cold garage or a hot workshop is no problem. The trade-off is the 72 Hz refresh rate, which can look less smooth in fast scenes. It also has no wireless link and no hand or touch controllers, so it is harder to use as a game box. It suits a business that runs simulators, training sessions or a shared display, where a fixed setup with a cable is normal.
