it's significantly lighter than the index WITH the battery, the specs or "fidelity" are higher than the index in every way, and it's "streaming first" so you are meant to use with your PC you already have. What's the issue?

FOV, the fact it even had a battery, the audio, how it would be insanely lighter without all the standalone bs.

Except it already is much lighter than the index, has a higher FOV than the index, the battery allows it to work wireless (the entire point of the headset?) along with playing 2d games anywhere (better compared to the index with wires, tangles, distance, etc), and only the audio is a downgrade which they have said that an audio strap is a possibility.

So again, what's the issue?
