Now, there is further confirmation that the company understands where Apple went wrong, and is making sure that its upcoming headset doesn\u2019t fumble where it matters most.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest complaints for the <a class=\"automatic\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/reviews\/apple-vision-pro-review-you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it_id6224\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Vision Pro<\/a> \u2014 aside from the exorbitant price tag of $3,499 \u2014 was its comfort. Naturally, if an XR (Extended Reality) headset isn\u2019t pleasant to wear, it\u2019s not going to be a hit with the masses. The Vivo Vision, as it\u2019s being called, aims to tackle both comfort and price this year.<\/p>\n<p>A reliable insider has <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5198895161806536\" class=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">reported<\/a> (translated source) that the Vivo Vision is going to be a much more comfortable headset to use for long periods of time. The headset has had its weight balanced to a degree that the user won\u2019t be feeling like one side of their head is heavier than the other. It will also likely be lighter, as Vivo will probably not use nearly as much glass as Apple did.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the headset takes aim at the Vision Pro directly in other ways. The Vivo Vision looks very similar to Apple\u2019s premium MR (Mixed Reality) headset. It also reportedly lets the user navigate the UI in the same way as well: via hand gestures and eye tracking. Lastly, the content that users will get access to will apparently mirror that which is found on the Vision Pro.<\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Vision-Pro-mid-wearing-1.webp.jpeg\" alt=\"The Apple Vision Pro got uncomfortable to wear around the 30-minute mark. | Image credit \u2014 PhoneArena - This year\u2019s Vision Pro contender is giving us what we needed from Apple\u2019s VR headset\" class=\"lazy\" data-id=\"434399\" haswatermark=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>                                <\/p>\n<p>The Apple Vision Pro got uncomfortable to wear around the 30-minute mark. | Image credit \u2014 PhoneArena<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Vivo Vision wouldn\u2019t be a real alternative if it didn\u2019t offer the same quality of experiences that the Vision Pro does. To that end, Vivo\u2019s headset will be powered by an excellent Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to directly challenge Apple\u2019s M2 processor. Additionally, the company has gone all out for the display, and it will be one of the best across the entire industry.<\/p>\n<p>And, perhaps most importantly of all, the Vivo Vision will almost certainly be more affordable than the Apple Vision Pro. Now all that remains to be seen is whether Samsung\u2019s upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/samsung-project-moohan-xr-headset-is-just-an-experiment_id172533\" class=\"internal\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Project Moohan<\/a>, which also looks very much like Apple\u2019s headset, will be priced similarly or not.<\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Unlimited-by-Mint-Mobile-at-15mo.webp.png\" alt=\"Unlimited by Mint Mobile at $15\/mo\" class=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" haswatermark=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>        Unlimited by Mint Mobile at $15\/mo<\/p>\n<p>                    Get 50% off \u2013 try it for 3 months today!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:12px;\">We may earn a commission if you make a purchase<\/p>\n<p>                                    <a class=\"offer-button button button-primary\" data-merchant=\"Mint Mobile\" href=\"https:\/\/mint-mobile.58dp.net\/c\/1140616\/3020516\/7915?subId1=offerswidgetne\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"&#010;                           (function(element) {&#010;                           window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];&#010;                           const elements = document.querySelectorAll(&#039;a.offer-button&#039;);&#010;                           let currentIndex = 0;&#010;                           for (let i = 0; i &lt; elements.length; i++) {&#010;                           if (elements[i] === element) {&#010;                           currentIndex = i + 1;&#010;                           break;&#010;                           }&#010;                           }&#010;                           const totalCount = elements.length;&#010;                           window.dataLayer.push({&#010;                           &#039;event&#039;: &#039;singleOffersClicked&#039;,&#010;                           &#039;eventLabel&#039;: currentIndex + &#039; \/ &#039; + totalCount + &#039;, Mint Mobile - https:\/\/mint-mobile.58dp.net\/c\/1140616\/3020516\/7915?subId1=offerswidgetne&#039;&#010;                           });&#010;                           })(this);&#010;                           return true;\"><\/p>\n<p>                        Check Out The Offer<br \/>\n                <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read the latest from Abdullah Asim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"*Image credit \u2014 Ice Universe For a while, there have been reports of an Apple Vision Pro contender&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340903,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3162],"tags":[53,16,15,3243,3244],"class_list":{"0":"post-340902","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-virtual-reality","8":"tag-technology","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-virtual-reality","12":"tag-vr"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115020985017430767","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340902","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340902"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340902\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340903"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340902"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340902"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340902"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
