**Bottom line: the Vuzix Z100 is the better buy for most people, unless you need a built-in camera.**

- Buy the HTC Vive Eagle if you want a built-in camera and you want spatial audio.
- Buy the Vuzix Z100 if you want the lighter 38g fit (vs 48.5g), you need longer battery life (48 hours vs 4.5), and you want adjustable lens dimming.
