You can buy a unit and return it if you don't like it.

In fact, that's a good way of actually telling Meta that you are not happy with it. Not buying doesn't tell them much.

That’s what I did. It’s cool but to own it I’ll wait one or two generations. Maybe I’m picky as a PC gamer but it was kind of a blurry, ghosting, unfocused experience no matter what I did.

Yeah it was with a 3070 but it was the same in the standalone mode

It sounds like the IPD adjustment or the lens doesn’t agree with your eyes. That was actually my very first experience with the HTC Vive pro. I would get headaches and nausea within 15 min. I was only able to fix it with hardware mods which had some trade offs. Unfortunately, I am not aware of hardware fixes for any other models

The good news is that the new generation of VR headsets starting with the quest pro and Apple reality should fix your problem. The quest 3 might fix it too if it has better IPD config. The downside is that they are a lot more expensive than the entry level quest 2 with prices from two years ago

This is possible only in the US, I think. In most of the world, you cannot return a working device that you just decided you didn't like or want.
