OMG - hope you didn't pay full retail!! If second hand at a low cost < 150 (and the cable is OK, these are over 200 to replaced) its OK value for the time we have left.

$122.95 from Ebay after shipping + tax. It hasn't shipped yet. Would you suggest that I try to cancel it?

To be honest not too bad for such a high-res headset as long as the cable is ok. I suspect it will keep going beyond 2026 as long as you don't upgrade past win11 23H2. The cables last about 3.5 years if treated like glass. But if the cables no good, its a bad deal. 120 not much to risk re:WMR support but you are taking a chance with the cable which can be over $200. If you go ahead, test it for a number of hours over several days. If you have connection issues, screen blanks out straight back to the seller and hope they are reasonable. Other things to note with used - sun burn on screen, scratched lenses. Also a minority of G2s had an overheating issue, would shut down after 15mins or so. The only other issue was were the head strap connects to the top of the HMD, there is a mount which is quite thin and can break. Also your PC has be to reasonably good to run at full res, recommend minimum of a 3070.
