**Bottom line: the HTC Vive Eagle is the better buy for most people at $100 less, unless you need the longer battery life.**

- Buy the Halliday G2 if you need longer battery life (12 hours vs 4.5) and you want adjustable lens dimming.
- Buy the HTC Vive Eagle if you want to spend $100 less ($499 vs $599), you want a built-in camera, you want spatial audio, and you're an iPhone user.
