    Definitely not in the same league as the Valve Index, but the '+' designation means that this updated Odyssey HMD has increased comfort compared to the original and uses pixel diffusion for "anti-SDE". With an MSRP of $500, the current discount means the Odyssey+ could be a cheaper alternative to the Rift S. It has inferior tracking to the latter, but better displays and audio.
